Intrusion Detection

Intrusion Detection is the act of detecting actions that attempt to compromise the confidentiality, integrity or availability of a resource. Intrusion Detection can be performed manually or automatically. Manual intrusion detection might take place by examining log files or other evidence for signs of intrusions, including network traffic. A system that performs automated intrusion detection is called an Intrusion Detection System (IDS). An IDS can be either host-based, if it monitors system calls or logs, or network-based if it monitors the flow of network packets.

The Greatest Risk to Your Website: 30% of Database-Driven Sites Vulnerable to SQL-Injection
By : Redspin Published Date: Sep 03, 2008
Let’s assume for a moment that you have your firewall configuration dialed in impeccably, that your patch
management server never rests, and that your state-of-the-art IDS lets you sleep peacefully at night, as it continuously
identifies any irregularities from the network’s accepted traffic patterns. Even your web-server contains no known
vulnerabilities, and it is responsibly segmented from the internal network and into a distinct security zone.

What Buying an Inexpensive Penetration Test/Vulnerability Scan Really Costs
By : Redspin Published Date: Sep 03, 2008
Every day across the nation, audit committee members, internal auditors, CFOs, and IT directors wrestle with the questions: Why shouldn’t I just go with the cheapest penetration test rather than a more expensive external network security assessment? Why are some of the most respected banks paying more for what appears to me to be the same service? It is the same thing, right?

The Extraordinary Failure of Anti-Virus Technology: Why Whitelisting Succeeds Where AV Has Failed
By : Lumension Security Published Date: Oct 22, 2007
Anti-virus technology fails to prevent computers from virus infections. And because it fails, it inadvertently assists many security woes that plague the computer population. Fortunately, whitelisting technology has emerged in recent years. Whitelisting technology takes a different approach to the malware problem, recording all valid programs and preventing others from executing. Because of this approach, it can be and is used to prevent other ills, such as spyware, adware, unlicensed software or any other kind of unauthorized software. Whitelisting can be applied to device control as well, which prevents the attaching of unauthorized devices to corporate PCs and laptops.

Malware Security: Taking the Botnet Threat Seriously
By : FireEye, Inc. Published Date: Oct 09, 2007
How does malware continue to infiltrate networks? Primarily because traditional defenses only address the threat in pieces and parts, which leaves gaps in the enterprise security infrastructure. Meanwhile, malware has become organized to form massive 'botnets' (networks of compromised machines) expressly for the purpose of cybercrime and fraud.

The Book On Malicious Websites
