Abstract

The entire world relates to some network capabilities in some way or the other. The data transmission on the network is getting more straightforward and quicker. An intrusion detection system helps distinguish unauthorized activities or intrusions that may settle the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of a resource. Nowadays, almost all institutions are using network-related facilities like schools, banks, offices, etc. Social media has become so popular that nearly every individual belongs to a new nation called ‘Netizen.’ Several approaches have been implemented to incorporate security features in network-related issues. However, vulnerable attacks are continuous, so intrusion detection systems have been proposed to secure computer systems and networks. Network security is a piece of the most fundamental issues in Computer Network Management. Moreover, an intrusion is considered to be the most revealed dangers to security. With the evolution of the networks, intrusion detection has emerged as a crucial field in networks’ security. The main aim of this article is to deliver a systematic review of intrusion detection approaches and systems that are used in various network environments.
