Intrusion Detection Systems and Intrusion Prevention Systems

Data collection mechanisms for intrusion detection systems

Drawing from the experience obtained during the development and testing of a distributed intrusion detection system, we reflect on the data collection needs of intrusion detection systems, and on the limitations that are faced when using the data collection mechanisms built into most operating systems. We claim that it is best for an intrusion detection system to be able to collect its data by ...

Evolving Intrusion Detection Systems

An Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is a program that analyzes what happens or has happened during an execution and tries to find indications that the computer has been misused. An IDS does not eliminate the use of preventive mechanism but it works as the last defensive mechanism in securing the system. This Chapter evaluates the performances of two Genetic Programming techniques for IDS namely...

Modern Intrusion Detection Systems

Intrusion detection systems (IDS) help detect unauthorized activities or intrusions that may compromise the confidentiality, integrity or availability of a resource. This paper presents a general overview of IDSs, the way they are classified and the different algorithms used to detect anomalous activities. It also describes the various approaches and the importance of IDSs in information security.
