Details how intrusion detection works in network security with comparisons to traditional methods such as firewalls and cryptography Analyzes the challenges in interpreting and correlating Intrusion Detection alerts

To defend against computer and network attacks, multiple, complementary security devices such as intrusion detection systems (IDSs), and firewalls are widely deployed to monitor networks and hosts. These various IDSs will flag alerts when suspicious events are observed. This book is an edited volume by world class leaders within computer network and information security presented in an easy-to-follow style. It introduces defense alert systems against computer and network attacks. It also covers integrating intrusion alerts within security policy framework for intrusion response, related case studies and much more.

This guide to Open Source intrusion detection tool SNORT features step-by-step instructions on how to integrate SNORT with other open source products. The book contains information and custom built scripts to make installation easy.

Businesses in today’s world are adopting technology-enabled operating models that aim to improve growth, revenue, and identify emerging markets. However, most of these businesses are not suited to defend themselves from the cyber risks that come with these data-driven practices. To further prevent these threats, they need to have a complete understanding of modern network security solutions and the ability to manage, address, and respond to security breaches. The Handbook of Research on Intrusion Detection Systems provides emerging research exploring the theoretical and practical aspects of prominent and effective techniques used to detect and contain breaches within the fields of data science and cybersecurity. Featuring coverage on a broad range of topics such as botnet detection, cryptography, and access control models, this book is ideally designed for security analysts, scientists, researchers, programmers, developers, IT professionals, scholars, students, administrators, and faculty members seeking research on current advancements in network security technology.

This book covers the basic statistical and analytical techniques of computer intrusion detection. It is the first to present a data-centered approach to these problems. It begins with a description of the basics of TCP/IP, followed by chapters dealing with network traffic analysis, network monitoring for intrusion detection, host based intrusion detection, and computer viruses and other malicious code.

Network Intrusion Detection and Prevention: Concepts and Techniques provides detailed and concise information on different types of attacks, theoretical foundation of attack detection approaches, implementation, data collection, evaluation, and intrusion response. Additionally, it provides an overview of some of the commercially/publicly available intrusion detection and response systems. On the topic of intrusion detection system it is impossible to include everything there is to say on all subjects. However, we have tried to cover the most important and common ones. Network Intrusion Detection and Prevention: Concepts and Techniques is designed for researchers and practitioners in industry. This book is suitable for advanced-level students in computer science as a reference book as well.
