Network Intrusion Detection Systems
(NIDS) are vital in cybersecurity due to the increasing
complexity of cyber attacks. This survey reviews machine
learning approaches in NIDS, examining their development,
current status, and future directions. We categorise and
evaluate traditional algorithms, deep learning methods, and
hybrid approaches, discussing key datasets, feature selec
tion, and performance metrics. The study addresses chal
lenges such as class imbalance, high false positive rates,
and real-time detection, while also exploring trends like
federated learning, transfer learning, and explainable AI
within NIDS. Despite promising results, ML-based NIDS
face challenges in achieving optimal performance in dy
namic network environments, presenting areas for further
research and enhancement.
