It presents theoretical frameworks and the latest research findings in network security technologies, while analyzing malicious threats which can compromise network integrity. It discusses the security and optimization of computer networks for use in a variety of disciplines and fields.

Touching on such matters as mobile and VPN security, IP spoofing and intrusion detection, this edited collection emboldens the efforts of researchers, academics and network administrators working in both the public and private sectors. This edited compilation includes chapters covering topics such as attacks and countermeasures, mobile wireless networking, intrusion detection systems, next-generation firewalls, web security and much more.

Information and communication systems are an essential component of our society, forcing us to become dependent on these infrastructures. At the same time, these systems are undergoing a convergence and interconnection process that has its benefits, but also raises specific threats to user interests. Citizens and organizations must feel safe when using cyberspace facilities in order to benefit from its advantages. This book is interdisciplinary in the sense that it covers a wide range of topics like network security threats, attacks, tools and procedures to mitigate the effects of malware and common network attacks, network security architecture and deep learning methods of intrusion detection.

1.1 Introduction

An “Intrusion Detection System” (IDS) is a system that shows a network for activities, attacks, and alerts when an attack is detected. There are a variety of IDS techniques in use these days but a common problem with them is their performance. Various surveys and research have been done concerning this problem using support vector machines and multi-layer artificial intelligence perception. Similarly, supervised learning models, such as vector machines with often associated learning algorithms that are used for analyzing and storing data, are also used for regression analysis and classification in subsequent attacks.

Despite increased demand for network security, currently available solutions were still insufficient to fully protect computer network attacks and Internet rich applications against developing threats, such as cybercrime or DOS attacks from hackers and unauthorized users. It has been more important than ever to create more advanced and secure IDS that are fast, intelligent, user friendly, and efficient.

Previous security technologies, such as user-available authentication, data encryption techniques, and firewalls, are no longer sufficient to withstand advanced intrusions and cyber-attacks. IDS is used to analyze big data because there is a lot of traffic including attacks that are analyzed to check for suspicious and unusual activities and are also successful in doing so. Therefore, IDS helps organizations to defy a large range of attacks.

Attacks are classified through a level of IDS features which demands accepting an “Artificial Intelligence” (AI) or agents to combat these attacks. Similarly, cybersecurity techniques should be:

1. Progressively intellectual,
2. Highly adaptable,
3. Sufficient to analyze and mitigate against various types of attacks.

• Cybersecurity: The term cybersecurity refers to protecting information, networks, programs, and information, as distinct from unauthorized or unattainable access, destruction, or modification. In the current situation, cybersecurity is incredibly necessary due to some security threats and cyber-attacks. Many corporations develop software packages for information security. This software package protects the information. To secure the information and to protect these systems from virus attack it is important to use Cyber security.
• Cybercrime: An individual or organized group uses the Internet, i.e., computers, Internet, cell phones, various technical devices, etc., to commit an act against the law. This act is known as Cyber-crime. Such people are called cyber attackers. They use various software packages and codes on the Internet to commit crimes.
  They exploit software package and hardware style vulnerabilities by using malware.
  Hacking can be a common means to break into the security of secure laptop systems and keep them busy.
• IDS: А rаnge оf actions thаt intrude with the а system’s privacy is саlled а lарtор intrusiоn. The сhаin оf actions must be trасed tо verify the authorization оf the соmрuting system.
• Аssосiаte degree intrusiоn intо а system: Аssосiаte degree intrusiоn саn be а mаliсiоus асtivity thаt соmрrоmises seсurity оver а series оf events within the system. For exаmрle, intrusiоn is а DoS, or an intrusiоn thаt negоtiаtiоns the рrоvisiоn оf аssосiаte degree systems by trafficking а server with а horrific range оf requests.
• Definition: Any action that is not de jure allowed for a user to request of an associate degree system is termed intrusion, and intrusion detection could be a method of police work and tracing inappropriate, and incorrect, or abnormal activity targeted at computing and networking resources.

1.5 Background literature

1.5.1 Various types of attacks in cybersecurity—IDS

1.5.1.1 Malware

Malware, alongside spyware, ransom ware, viruses, and worms, may be a recurring term for malicious software systems. A virus breaches a group via a vulnerable condition, when by nature a user taps on a malicious hyperlink or e-mail document, thus installing dangerous software on the user’s machine. Once it is installed in the user’s device, the malware will do the following:

• Blocks the correct point of entry to basic units of the Internet (ransom ware)
• Installs machine virus or extra dangerous programs.
• Gets data secretly, using sending information via Winchester drives (spyware)
• Interrupts bound parts and disables the machine

(Where the various malware attacks are defined in Figure 1.1).

1.5.1.2 Phishing

The act of inflicting flawed conversations that appear to come back again from an honorable deliver is Phishing, which is so often via e-mail. The usage is to rob delicate statistics such as master-card credentials (login data) or to inject a virus into the user’s device. Phishing is a co...
