Network Intrusion Detection - Keeping Up With Increasing Information Volume

Added by Papergrl

Description: Another critical part of a defense-in-depth strategy is a tool this paper focuses on called a network-based IDS. Innella and McMillan wrote a good article describing what an IDS is. They define a network-based IDS as a device (hardware or software) that detects possible intrusions onto a network by analyzing the data traversing the network and then notifying the proper individuals upon detection. This paper will detail ways to help a network-based IDS cope with the ever increasing volume of information that threatens its ability to fulfill its role in a defense-in-depth strategy.
