SENTINEL-AI: A MULTI-AGENT AI POWERED INTRUSION DETECTION SYSTEM FOR SME NETWORK SECURITY AND NIS2 COMPLIANCE ON ULTRA LOW-RESOURCE EDGE DEVICES
Abstract
Abstract — Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) represent over 99% of European businessesyet remain disproportionately vulnerable to cyber threats due to limited budgets and technicalexpertise. The NIS2 Directive (EU 2022/2555), transposed into Italian law through D.Lgs. 138/2024,mandates robust cybersecurity measures for organizations across 18 critical sectors, imposingsignificant compliance obligations even on smaller entities within essential supply chains. This paperpresents SENTINEL-AI, a novel multi-agent intrusion detection system (IDS) designed to operate onultra-low-resource edge hardware (Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, 512 MB RAM,
