A Review of Technical Issues on IDS and Alerts
The fact that swindlers can trick computer and mobile systems to commit different criminal offenses have to lead to the current advancement in the domain of Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs). While the toolkits are growing mechanisms for monitoring, analyzing, gathering and reporting activities that can endanger computer and mobile systems, however, they are frequently subjected to series of fiery debates over the years. Thus, a wide range of taxonomy has been proposed to clarify their strengths and weaknesses. Nonetheless, researchers often reticent from critical issues associated with the �used alerts� and �unused alerts� that the toolkits can generate to warn analysts. Thus, this paper presents the progression of the above mechanisms over the years; and exhaustively explains some salient issues that were faulted in the previous reviews. Finally, we suggest various ways to improve the efficacy of the toolkits and how to lessen cases of intrusions across the globe.
