CONTENT FILTERING AND CLOUD BASED INTRUSION DETECTION SYSTEM

Abstract

The prime objective of this proposal is to provide a secure platform for the organizations/ institutions which are involving directly or indirectly with confidential information and having the resources of high usage. This project will complain the needs of the professional institutions in the society offering the e-learning activities like content generation, distribution, training, preparation relating to e-content and its maintenance in both academia and research areas. When it comes to share the user’s ideas with experts and software tool providers over internet, security has become the prime concern. The intruders/hackers may be after high speed connection can send malicious viruses and worms to blackening the reputation. In order to ensure security to the resources like software tools, hardware equipment, operating system and e-content the institution has taken necessary precautions. In this context, to overcome the threats, installation of firewalls both hardware and software in nature are of high importance. Though the measures exist, the hackers/intruders are coming up with latest techniques to hijack the networking system. As the users are increasing and mostly depending on internet to extract and use the required information / open source software tools available, to carry out their research and academic projects from the global arena. It is necessary to inspect the incoming and outgoing information, which may cause the damage or loss of digital information, resources and tools. In this context, I propose an intruder detection system against vulnerabilities over internet where the information would be filtered by using a solid hardware firewall with proper configuration and installation of software. This will help the institution to stop intruders from accessing our system. Provider can keep the internet link to the outside world, but it can't share the resources unless the user has granted the privilege. With a firewall in place the users will still have typical email access, but chat and other interactive programs will require the users to take an extra step to grant access before use.
