Traditional signature-based NIDS cannot identify zero-day attacks and evolving attacks, which is why intelligent techniques like machine learning (ML) and deep learning have been introduced to identify threats. This survey reviews recent advancements in machine-learning-based and deep-learning-based intrusion detection by comparatively analyzing five primary research studies and supporting literature covering different datasets, attack scenarios, learning approaches, and research challenges. In this survey, common datasets used, feature engineering techniques, classifiers, and metrics have been described along with their pros and cons. Moreover, key challenges faced by current NIDS include dataset imbalance, false positives, inadequate cross-dataset generalization, detection of unknown attacks, computational cost, and lack of interpretability. Additionally, potential future research directions for intrusion detection, namely explainable artificial intelligence (XAI), federated learning, transformer-based IDSs, continual learning, and adaptive hybrid models, have been discussed in this survey.</p>2026-09-09T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2026 Journal of IoT Security and Smart Technologies (e-ISSN: 2583-6226)
