Creating recommender systems for network intrusion detection using MATLAB

A NIDS serves as a security mechanism that’s employed to identify and prevent unauthorized access, malicious activities, and potential threats within a computer network. It involves monitoring network traffic and analyzing it to identify any suspicious or abnormal behaviors. The main objective of network intrusion detection is to protect the network from various types of attacks, such as denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, malware infections, data leakage, unauthorized access, and other cyber threats.

There are two primary methods of network intrusion detection:

• Signature-based detection: This method involves comparing network traffic patterns with a database of known signatures or patterns of known attacks. If a match is found, an alert is generated to notify the network administrator.
• Anomaly-based detection: This method focuses on identifying abnormal or suspicious network behavior that...
