Surviving cyber warfare with a hybrid multiagent-base intrusion prevention system

A hybrid multiagent-based intrusion prevention system (IPS) can helping countering the threat of cyber warfare. An IPS can introduce the technology that enables the network and its hosts to defend themselves with the intelligence to accurately identify and block malicious traffic and activities. An IPS needs to have a number of superior characteristics to determine the system that delivers an accurate and preemptive protection. Some of these characteristics include performance, high protection level, research, and continuous monitoring. IPSs are classified on the basis of the operating platform and detection technologies. The operating platform classifies the IPS products into host intrusion prevention systems (HIPS) and network intrusion prevention systems (NIPS). NIPS inspect the network traffic to detect malicious packets and connection sessions, while HIPS rely on software agents installed on network hosts to protect them against malwares.
