Dynamic monitoring for enhancing QoS and security in distributed systems

Abstract

Distributed systems are integral to modern digital infrastructure, supporting communication and data exchange across various sectors. Ensuring security while maintaining quality of service (QoS) in such environments presents a significant challenge. This study introduces a dynamic network monitoring system (DNMS) that incorporates adaptive monitoring mechanisms and dynamic security metrics to safeguard distributed systems. The proposed architecture utilizes an event analyzer (EA) to evaluate and classify system events based on criticality, enabling secure transmission decisions and efficient threat detection. Experimental evaluations demonstrate the DNMS achieves a low processing overhead of 12%, supports a high data handling capacity of 5,000 requests per second, and maintains a latency of just 150 milliseconds. Additionally, it ensures strong compliance with regulatory standards-achieving 95% alignment with GDPR and 97% with ISO 27001- and high threat detection accuracy, with 98% for phishing, 94% for malware, and 96% for insider threats. These results confirm the framework’s effectiveness in enhancing adaptive security, offering scalable and regulation-compliant solutions for complex distributed environments.
