Network Intrusion Detection Using Data Mining: Challenges and Limitations in Network Intrusion Detection Systems

Abstract

NetworkIntrusion detection has a critical section of network management because of thenumber of attacks persistently threaten our computers. Network intrusiondetection systems are limited and do not provide a complete solution for theproblem. They search for potential malicious activities on network traffics;they sometimes succeed to find true security attacks and anomalies. However, inmany cases, they fail to detect malicious behaviours or they fire alarms whennothing wrong in the network.
