IMMIX-intrusion detection and prevention system

Computer security has become a major problem in our society. Specifically, computer network security is concerned with preventing the intrusion of an unauthorized person into a network of computers. An intrusion detection system (IDS) is a tool to monitor the network traffic and users activity with the aim of distinguishing between hostile and non-hostile traffic. Most of current networks implement Misuse detection or Anomaly detection techniques for Intrusion detection. By deploying misuse based IDS it cannot detect unknown intrusions and anomaly based IDS have high false positive rate for detection. To overcome this, proposed system uses combination of both network based and host based IDPS as Hybrid Intrusion Detection and Prevention System which will be helpful for detecting maximum attacks on networks.
