Abstract: Network security ensures that essential and accessible network assets are protected from viruses, key loggers, hackers, and unauthorized gain. Interruption detection system (IDS) is one of the most widespread significant network tools for network security management. However, it has been shown that the current IDS is challenging for network professionals to use. The interface, which assists users in evaluating the software usability, is a crucial aspect that influences the effectiveness of IDS, while security software such as IDS is effective. Usability testing is essential for supporting users in successful interaction and IDS utilization because the user finds it difficult to assess and use the output quality. Usability engineers are responsible for the majority of usability evaluations. Small and large business software engineers must master multiple usability paradigms. This is more difficult than teaching usability engineers how to write software. The Cognitive Analysis of Software Interface (CASI) technology was created as a solution for software engineers. Furthermore, this system aids software engineers in evaluating IDS based on user perception and evaluation perspectives. This study also discusses a large body of research on software interfaces and assessment procedures to evaluate novel heuristics for IDS. Finally, additional interface challenges and new ways for evaluating programmed usability are discussed. Topic Subject Areas: Intrusion Detection System (IDS) Usability.
