The Critical Role of NIDSNIPS in Protecting Internet Infrastructure

With the rapid development and wide application of the Internet, network security has become an important issue in modern society. Network attacks such as network worms, botnets and computer viruses are constantly emerging, bringing serious threats and economic losses to the Internet infrastructure. In this context, Network Intrusion Detection/Prevention System (NIDS/NIPS) plays a key role in protecting the Internet infrastructure. By monitoring network traffic in real time, NIDS/NIPS is able to detect and identify internal and external security intrusions in a timely manner and take appropriate measures for defense. Ensuring the high performance of NIDS/NIPS is an important topic in network security research, because the increase of Internet traffic and the variety of attacks make it face great challenges. In this paper, we will explore the fundamentals and functions of NIDS/NIPS and their key role in protecting the Internet infrastructure. We will also discuss key techniques to improve the performance of NIDS/NIPS and look at future directions in this area. An in-depth understanding and study of the theory and technology of NIDS/NIPS is an important reference for professionals in the field of network security.
