Abstract: Securing an enterprise network has become a challenging task as the cyber malware attacks are improving in sophistication. Traditional centralised gateway solutions such as firewall and intrusion detection systems fail to detect highly sophisticated cyber malwares and are no longer helpful for complete protection of large sized enterprise networks. In this paper, we propose a novel architecture, integrated enterprise network security system (IENSS), that consists of distributed security agents and a central controller. Each network segment is covered by one or more agents which operate based on instructions from the controller. The agents gather network traffic as well as other information and process the inputs before sending them to the controller. The controller receives the information collected by agents and processes the data in order to detect various malwares, attacks, or back doors to the enterprise network. Controller utilises machine learning, data mining, and traffic analysis to accomplish various detection approaches. We have presented the IENSS architecture and five detection techniques those are implemented over it. New solutions can be incorporated in our architecture.
