Intrusion Detection System in Network Security Using Naive Bayes and Support Vector Machine

Abstract

An Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is designed to detect suspicious activities or security threats within a network, necessitating continuous advancements in the field. Both implementation techniques and algorithmic research play pivotal roles in enhancing IDS capabilities. This study addresses this need by focusing on the implementation and comparison of two prominent classification models: Naive Bayes and Support Vector Machine (SVM). The study is centered within the domain of Intrusion Detection System (IDS) tailored for network security. In the course of this research, a relevant dataset sourced from Kaggle serves as the foundation for training and testing both classification models. The findings of this study underscore the models' efficacy in intrusion detection. The SVM model, in particular, emerges as a standout performer, showcasing an accuracy rate that approaches 100%, thus exemplifying its potential in real-world scenarios. Meanwhile, the Naive Bayes model delivers commendable accuracy, surpassing 88%. This investigation not only contributes to the advancement of intrusion detection methodologies but also highlights the viability of these classification models for bolstering network security against the ever-evolving threat landscape.
