Enhancing Privacy in Critical Agencies IDS: Decentralized AI with Federated Learning

The project enhances privacy in government and critical agencies by using a decentralized approach to train AI models for detecting security threats. Instead of sharing sensitive data, agencies only share the insights gained from their data, ensuring privacy. This method allows agencies to work together securely, improving their ability to detect and prevent cyberattacks while keeping their data safe and meeting privacy regulations.
