Abstract
Intrusion Detection and Prevention (IDPS) is a critical cybersecurity
task that involves monitoring network traffic for malicious activity and
taking appropriate action to stop it. However, insufficient training
data or improperly chosen thresholds often limit the accuracy of such
systems, resulting in high false positive rates. To improve the accuracy
of an IDPS, blockchain technology can be used. Blockchain technology
provides a secure, decentralized, immutable ledger that can track
suspicious activity over time and identify intrusions globally. Security
teams can use blockchain technology to create immutable records of
suspicious activity, give users visibility into the system, and improve
the accuracy of intrusion detection systems. In this paper, we propose a
novel methodology to improve the accuracy of blockchain-based intrusion
detection and prevention systems, which is based on combining different
intrusion detection algorithms and using a blockchain-integrated
architecture. Our experimental results show that the proposed system
significantly increases the accuracy while reducing the false positive
rate, opening up new opportunities for the development of highly
accurate networks.
