Abstract

In today's technological landscape, cyber warfare has emerged as the most critical global issue. Cybersecurity experts predict the onset of cyber warfare, surpassing conventional military operations and having the potential to disrupt essential industrial management programs. The cyber revolution predominantly targets smaller governments and groups resembling terrorist pirates, employing similar tactics. These entities exhibit malicious intent by attempting to breach passwords and compromise both factory automation systems and military infrastructure. This study investigates the potential of combining firewalls and Intrusion Detection Systems IDS as a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy for the future of cyber warfare. Firewalls, as a primary line of defense, operate as barriers between networks, monitoring and controlling incoming and outgoing traffic. On the other hand, IDS functions as vigilant detectors, identifying anomalous activities or unauthorized access within a network.
