The increasing complexity of cyberattacks has exposed the limitations of traditional intrusion detection systems, particularly in handling zero-day threats and minimizing false alarms. This study proposes a hybrid Intrusion Detection and Prevention System (IDPS) that integrates Supervised Learning (SL) for fast high-confidence classification with Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) for adaptively handling uncertain cases. The system is evaluated on two benchmark datasets: UNSW-NB15 and NSL-KDD. The hybrid model achieved 93.95% accuracy on UNSW-NB15 and 99.45% accuracy on NSL-KDD, significantly reducing false positives while maintaining balanced precision and recall. The computational time for model training and inference remained within practical limits, with end-to-end training completed in approximately 2–5 minutes. These results demonstrate the system’s potential for scalable, real-time deployment in dynamic cybersecurity environments.

Use Your Cell Phone as a Document Camera in Zoom

  • What you will need to have and do
  • Download the mobile Zoom app (either App Store or Google Play)
  • Have your phone plugged in
  • Set up video stand phone holder

From Computer

Log in and start your Zoom session with participants

From Phone

  • Start the Zoom session on your phone app (suggest setting your phone to “Do not disturb” since your phone screen will be seen in Zoom)
  • Type in the Meeting ID and Join
  • Do not use phone audio option to avoid feedback
  • Select “share content” and “screen” to share your cell phone’s screen in your Zoom session
  • Select “start broadcast” from Zoom app. The home screen of your cell phone is now being shared with your participants.

To use your cell phone as a makeshift document camera

  • Open (swipe to switch apps) and select the camera app on your phone
  • Start in photo mode and aim the camera at whatever materials you would like to share
  • This is where you will have to position what you want to share to get the best view – but you will see ‘how you are doing’ in the main Zoom session.
