AgentOuro: A Novelty Based Intrusion Detection and Prevention System

The world is more interconnected now due to the exponential growth of internet and its viability to the number of users through its various applications. This has also introduced many naïve and attack prone users to the network. The biggest challenge for today is to protect these users from any incident that can lead their mistrust towards the whole system. Intrusion is an act which is undesirable and can lead to losses in many forms of different magnitudes. IDPS (Intrusion detection and prevention) is a very important tool which not only detects the intrusion of unauthorized and suspicious activities that can compromise the security pillars (Authentication, availability, Confidentiality and Integrity) of data or information but also prevents the unexpected event. In this paper a new scheme for IDPS with the integration of Mobile Agents is proposed which looks after the anomalies and responds by taking suitable measures with the help of agents.
