With the development growing of network technology, computer networks became increasingly wide and opened. This evolution gave birth to new techniques allowing accessibility of networks and information systems with an aim of facilitating the transactions. Consequently, these techniques gave also birth to new forms of threats. In this article, we present the utility to use a system of intrusion detection through a presentation of these characteristics. Using as inspiration the immune biological system, we propose a model of artificial immune system which is integrated in the behavior of distributed agents on the network in order to ensure a good detection of intrusions. We also present the internal structure of the immune agents and their capacity to distinguish between self and not self. The agents are able to achieve simultaneous treatments, are able to auto-adaptable to environment evolution and have also the property of distributed coordination.
