ABSTRACT

As organizations go online, a number ofadvantages are realized and as a result banking institution have not been left behind in this move. However, most ofthe techniques organizations have used to guard against unauthorized system access have been found lacking and as a result many disastrous unauthorized accesses have been reported. This is worsened by the fact that applications used to break into systems are now easily accessed in some shops and the Internet. The interest of this work is to adopt an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) for Central Bank ofNigeria institution to provide early detection and prevent network intrusion. The idea is to provide an integrated system that will minimize the weaknesses ofthe different intrusion prevention techniques while putting to the most the strength of each ofthem. We define IDS, discuss the different IDS types, architecture, and compare different IDS’s and look at an effective implementation strategy
