Background of the Study
As cyber threats become more advanced, traditional security measures such as rule-based intrusion detection systems (IDS) are proving ineffective in identifying sophisticated attacks. Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a powerful tool for enhancing network security by analyzing large datasets, detecting anomalies, and predicting potential security threats (Chukwu & Adewale, 2024). AI-powered network anomaly detection uses machine learning algorithms to identify suspicious activities that may indicate cyber threats.
Federal University, Dutsin-Ma, has a complex network infrastructure that supports students, staff, and administrative operations. The increasing use of online learning platforms and cloud services has introduced new security challenges, including unauthorized access, malware propagation, and denial-of-service attacks (Mustapha et al., 2023). Implementing AI-powered network anomaly detection can help the university enhance its ability to detect and respond to emerging cyber threats in real time.
Statement of the Problem
Traditional network security systems rely on signature-based detection methods, which struggle to identify zero-day attacks and evolving threats. Federal University, Dutsin-Ma, lacks an AI-driven security solution that can analyze network behavior and detect anomalies effectively. Implementing an AI-powered anomaly detection system will help the university improve its cybersecurity resilience.
Objectives of the Study
To analyze the current network security challenges at Federal University, Dutsin-Ma.
To implement an AI-powered network anomaly detection system for real-time threat monitoring.
To evaluate the effectiveness of AI in detecting and mitigating network anomalies.
