An Integrated Approach to Network Security: Combining Cryptography and Intrusion Detection

Computer network security is essential to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information stored in computer networks. Cybersecurity now needed to focus on products that went beyond cryptography to protect networks and systems. It can be extended as required by the network and offers a new mechanism for organizations to adopt. It consolidates both processes into one unified security strategy, leveraging the best of both worlds. Cryptography uses mathematical algorithms to keep data safe when it's being sent and stored so that only those with permission can read it. An IDS (Intrusion Detection System) helps identify unusual or suspicious activity in a system's network traffic that indicates a potential cyber-attack.
