Host & Network Intrusion Prevention
This paper will address the need for Intrusion Prevention Systems, explore the two most popular IPS architectures and try to provide insight into the selection and use of these systems.
Targeted Cyber Attacks
Cyber attacks can pose a problem to anyone. From home offices to large enterprises, cyber attacks exist. This white paper discusses what a cyber attack is, the real threats of cyber attacks and how to minimize exposure to these attacks.
eXpert-BSM: A Host-Based Intrusion Detection Solution for Solaris
eXpert-BSM is a real time forward-reasoning expert system that analyzes Sun Solaris audit trails. Based on many years of intrusion detection research, eXpert-BSM’s knowledge base detects a wide range of specific and general forms of misuse, provides detailed reports and recommendations to the system operator, and has a low false-alarm rate. Host-based intrusion detection offers the ability to detect misuse and subversion through the direct monitoring of processes inside the host, providing an important complement to network-based surveillance. Suites of eXpert-BSMs may be deployed throughout a network, and their alarms managed, correlated, and acted on by remote or local subscribing security services, thus helping to address issues of decentralized management.
Adding Intelligence and Action to IDS
The future of IDS will be much like its past; Technology will continue to evolve,attacks will become more difficult to detect, and humans will be needed more than ever.
