The term ‘Network security’ provides the security for the computer services such as software and hardware and the communication devices like network infrastructure, and basic communication protocols of the network. It desires to attain data security on the network in an organization or in between the user individuals. If you are looking to implement interesting network security projects reach our network team specialist to guide your research work.

“Network security is one of the most important cyber security branches. Comparing to the wired systems, the wireless network like Wi-Fi and internet-linked wireless networks or devices having the most probability for attacks.”

The network security particularly protects the data on the flow. Network security preserves a high level of demand in the cyber security field. As the users’ need for fast internet is considered to be one of the main reasons for network security threats and it has become very common. So network security projects are in the order of the day.  

“This article mainly focuses on the Network Security concepts and tools that can be implanted by the Network Security models and to stimulate your interests on proposing Network security projects.”

Let’s have a look at the process involved in Network Security that involves the following processes on detecting three leading and common attacks

Process of Network Security

• Detecting phishing threats and harmful URL
• Detecting application attacks
• Detecting spoofing, scanning, and other network intrusions

The network security can be applied into two major ways of endpoint security and use cases authentication of malware, ransomware, and spyware detection and it detects the brute force attacks and unauthorized access as follows

• Use cases authentication
  • Detecting affected devices and suspicious entry
  • Analyses User activities
• Endpoint Security
  • Detecting spyware and ransomware
  • Categories malware detection

Network security models are functioning based on detecting malicious software or viruses and patching the affected devices. In the technology world, network security threats are unavoidable and the impact of such threats may extend up to affecting the organization’s monetary assets. The preventing and mitigating actions may vary according to the attacking phases used by the adversary. The attacking steps of the attacker are listed below

List of Attacking Steps

• Tracks erasing
• Control & command
• Exfiltration of data
• Internal recon
• Access expansion
• Data collection
• External recon and 
• Manipulation 

To mitigate the above malicious attacks performed by an adversary over the network, building security models are one of the best ways to save the network from such threats. To construct an effective security model, you must keep in mind the following features of an effective model.

• Prevention or Mitigation Techniques: the model must prevent the attack’s influence over the business resources in an organization
• Analysis Techniques: the model must use the analysis mechanism of an attack used by the detection method
• Detection Techniques: to detect the anomaly and suspicious activity, and the model must have the current and past historical data. 
• Location detection: the model must have the capacity to detect the perimeter and zone of the attacked location.
• Attack Features: the model should have the detecting features for attacks analysis 
• Attack Methods: the model has to identify the method of attack per segment.

The security models are used to detect, identify, and counteract the attack by identifying the method of attack and its location for effective patching and it must be updated with new techniques to identify and react according to the level of the threat. Here are the four main network security concepts identified by our engineers that could be performed by the above-mentioned models. 

Top 4 Network Security Concepts

• Managing Network Device: due to the displaying of many weak points in the firmware, network device management involves repairing such issues
• Network Monitoring: if any suspicious pattern is sent to manipulate the network, this process involves the action of observation and assessment
• Network Protocol Design: it is used to prevent the attacker from snorting your packet, by sending an encrypted network packet on network interface cards and network devices.
• Designing network security architecture: for in-depth network security measures, this obliging concept is used often. 

The above four network security components are considered to be the best in the field of network security. There are other major concepts too, which are professionally used by many research sectors. Scholars who chose to pick the network security projects are set apart to have better scopes in the relevant field and here our research team has come up with the research issues as listed below.

In this article, we mainly focus on network security and there are some measures for analyzing the quality features given by the network security model to provide the fundamental assurance over its capacities in the following.

What are the Quality Attributes for Network Security?

• Mitigation ability
• Adaptability
• Usability
• Reliability
• QoS Parameters
• QoE Parameters
• Scalability

The quality based on the basic functions of the model includes the ability of its measure, availability, ease of access, adapting the new mechanisms, etc. they are the characteristic of the network security models. Here are the countermeasures to improve the quality of the models after or before every attack

• Adaptability
• Usability
• Reliability
• QoS Parameters and QoE
• Scalability

The quality based on the basic functions of the model includes the ability of its measure, availability, ease of access, adapting the new mechanisms, etc. they are the characteristic of the network security models. Here are the countermeasures to improve the quality of the models after or before every attack.

How do we secure the network against cyber-attacks?

• Based on similarity
  • Progressive construction
    • Correlation and matching attribution
  • Detecting anomaly
  • Clustering scenario
• Casual correlation 
  • Matching model
  • Statistical inference
  • Consequences and prerequisites
• Based on structure
• Mixed approaches     

In addition to the above methods to secure the network from cyber-attacks the process of detection is the most important step both in identifying the attack and detecting the right counteractions. The IDS are called the Intrusion Detection of a model and its functions are various as we listed below

Detection methods

• IDS based on Network
  • Detection based on Flow (Grouping traffic, Deep Learning, Feature Engineering)
  • Detection based on Packet (Parsing Packet, Payload analysis)
  • Detection based on the session (Statistical, sequence Feature) 
• IDS based on Host
  • Detection based on log (rule-based system combination, Feature engineering, Text analysis)
• Detecting Anomaly
  • Statistical model
  • Machine learning
  • Time series
• Detecting misuse
  • Machine of finite-state
  • Expert system
  • Matching the pattern

Before the detection of the attack, a model would function to collect the traffic, selecting the feature of its functions because a network model must have the capacity over its mentioned fundamental working process, 

Working process of a network model

• Traffic collection
• Feature Selection
• SVM, ANN, NB, DT, USML 
• Evolution Measures

A network security model must meet certain requirements for accurate and precision modeling. 

• Advanced Persistent Threats (APT) detection
• Real-time responding
• Large data warehouses Management
• Unstructured Data Analytics
• A large amount of data recollection

The working process of a network model concentrates on its functions over data collection that depends on the various types and functions. While those functions are prone to attack, we could identify the effect of the threat through IDS with our existing data. When we run out of data on the system malfunctions, anomaly detection is used to identify the threats by its following approaches. 

Detecting Network Anomaly

• Statistical Approaches
• PCA
• Entropy
• The flow of statistical data
• Analyzing Wavelet
• Hidden Markov Model
• Analyzing Covariance matrix 
• Machine Learning
  • Bayesian networks
  • Hybrid clustering
  • SVM
  • KNN
  • Reinforcement learning
  • Deep learning
