A Concept for Intelligent Collaborative Network Intrusion Detection

With the rise of modern smartphones and the Internet of Things providing considerable computing power, the Internet is changing towards a bigger, more dynamic, and organic environment. However, not all changes are beneficial as new cyber-threats are emerging. This leads to the need for novel intrusion detection and prevention systems safeguarding the increasing amount of vulnerable devices. In this article, we identify system requirements a state-of-the-art detection engine should fulfill and propose a conceptual blue print for an intelligent distributed IDS, which relies on well-known concepts from the organic computing community.
