Introduction
With the rapid advancement of technology, the need for effective security measures to protect data and systems from cyber threats has become more crucial than ever. Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) play a vital role in detecting and preventing malicious activities in computer networks. Traditional IDS rely on rule-based approaches, which are limited in their ability to detect unknown or novel attacks. Machine learning algorithms offer a promising solution to enhance the detection capabilities of IDS by learning from patterns in data and identifying anomalous behavior.
This thesis aims to explore the effectiveness of machine learning algorithms for intrusion detection systems. The research will investigate the potential of various machine learning techniques in improving the accuracy and efficiency of detecting cyber threats. By analyzing and comparing different algorithms, this study seeks to provide insights into the strengths and limitations of each approach, as well as recommendations for practical implementation in real-world scenarios.
