Abstract:

This Diploma Thesis focuses on implementing and improving a security system for infrastructure monitoring to protect sensitive data, network resources, and ensure system integrity by detecting and preventing unauthorised access and security threats. The theoretical section reviews key networking concepts, including Internet architecture, network protocols, security fundamentals, cryptography, firewalls, VPNs, IDS/IPS, and emerging trends like machine learning in network monitoring. It also covers Linux server security and effective logging for incident detection. In the practical part, security analysis is performed on the OWASP Juice Shop project in a Kali Linux environment. Vulnerabilities are identified through automated scanning and analysed to propose relevant security solutions, such as implementing firewall configurations, cryptographic techniques, and IDS/IPS setups. Penetration testing is performed to simulate real-world attacks, such as SQL injections and brute-force attempts, in order to evaluate the robustness of the security measures. The research outlines practical strategies to improve security and establish comprehensive protection, helping to build more robust and secure network systems for future infrastructure protection.
