<p><strong>Strong security solutions are becoming crucial, especially in academic and institutional </strong><strong>networks, due to the increasing frequency and sophistication of cyberattacks. This research </strong><strong>is the implementation of the Snort Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS) on the Local </strong><strong>Area Network (LAN) segment. Its main goal is to create a system that can monitor, identify </strong><strong>and notify network managers of any security risks within the LAN. The study entails setting </strong><strong>up Snort on a server connected to the LAN network for the identification of malicious activity </strong><strong>and other intrusion attempts. The use of the Snort tool to improve network security is </strong><strong>demonstrated when properly configured. The results showed the Snort-ids system recording </strong><strong>106 TCP, 0 UDP, and 271 ICMP alerts. So, Snort can assist safeguarding the LAN’s network </strong><strong>architecture from both internal and external threats through the offer of real-time monitoring </strong><strong>and alarms. The results of the system evaluation showed a false positive rate of 13.23% and </strong><strong>a false negative rate of 86.7%.</strong></p>
