Leveraging Large Language Models for Enhanced Intrusion Detection Systems: A Novel Approach to Anomaly Detection and Threat Intelligence

The subject explores the application of Large Language Models (LLMs) to enhance Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS). With the rapid evolution of cyber threats, traditional IDS methods struggle to adapt to new and sophisticated attack patterns. This research aims to integrate LLMs' advanced pattern recognition, contextual understanding, and language processing capabilities to improve anomaly detection and threat intelligence. 

Through a novel approach, the research explores anomaly detection at multiple levels, from network traffic to user behavior, offering a scalable, adaptive IDS solution. Expected outcomes include higher detection accuracy, reduced false positives, and an enriched understanding of cybersecurity threats, paving the way for more intelligent, adaptable IDS frameworks.
