Intrusion detection is the process of monitoring network traffic or system activity to identify unauthorized access, policy violations, or malicious behavior. Intrusion detection systems are generally classified as signature-based, which match activity against known attack patterns, or anomaly-based, which flag deviations from an established baseline of normal behavior and can therefore detect previously unseen attacks. Deployment architectures include network-based systems that inspect traffic at chokepoints and host-based systems that monitor activity on individual machines, often combined in layered defense strategies. Recent research combining machine learning with IoT network traffic has reported detection accuracy above 99 percent on benchmark datasets such as IoTID20, alongside a broader shift toward deep learning architectures, including transformers, for more effective pattern recognition. Other active areas include federated learning approaches and detecting intrusions in encrypted traffic and industrial control systems. As an open-access intrusion detection journal, IJACSA publishes research evaluating intrusion detection models against benchmark datasets, alongside applied detection systems for specific network environments.
