Enhancing Network Security using Possibility Neutrosophic Hypersoft
Set for Cyberattack Detection:
The paper does not present a software engineering framework specifically for
enhancing cybersecurity in network systems. Instead, it focuses on the Possibility
Neutrosophic Hypersoft Set for Cyberattack Detection (pNHSS-CAD) technique to
improve network security through feature selection and classification.
Pushpita, Chatterjee., Danda, B., Rawat. (2024). 2. Security Enhanced
Framework for Network Access Control in Distributed Software-Defined
Networks:
The paper proposes a security framework for Software-Defined Networks (SDN) that
enhances cybersecurity through multi-layered authentication, role-based access
control, and secure communication encryption, addressing vulnerabilities and
unauthorized access while ensuring data confidentiality and integrity in network
systems.

they occur. interconnectedness of
network systems.

Manual Processes
Many security tasks are still performed manually, prone to human
error and inefficient for handling large-scale networks.
Introducing the Software
Engineering Framework
1 Proactive Approach
The framework promotes a proactive approach to
cybersecurity, addressing vulnerabilities before they are
exploited.

2 Holistic Security
It emphasizes holistic security, considering the entire
network system and all its components.

3 Automation
Automation is leveraged to streamline security tasks,
enhancing efficiency and reducing human error.
Key Components of the
Framework
