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 Extraordinary Failure of Anti-Virus Technology: Why Whitelisting Succeeds Where AV Has Failed |
|
|
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.

Top Five SIM Pitfalls: Ensuring Successful Security Information Management |
|
|
|
To satisfy regulatory requirements and better protect their networks, many organizations are turning to Security Information Management (SIM) tools. By collecting, correlating and reporting security events from firewalls, IDS/IPS devices, servers and other data sources across the network, SIM technology enables defense-in-depth. Properly implemented and managed, SIM technology improves security operations by providing: Faster identification and response to real threats Elimination of false positive alerts Assessment and prioritization of risk High level metrics for strategic decisions For organizations subject to regulations such as PCI, GLBA, FFIEC, HIPAA, SOX, FISMA, NERC CIP and others, SIM technology addresses key compliance requirements for monitoring and auditing logs. SIM also delivers automated compliance reporting that can be used to monitor compliance status and demonstrate control effectiveness to auditors. However, implementing and managing SIM technology is not an easy task. Many organizations have struggled with SIM projects due to unanticipated risks and challenges. This has resulted in wasted resources, weaker operational security and negative audit findings. This paper was designed to help Security, IT and Compliance professionals in deploying Security Information Management (SIM) tools. It explores the pitfalls that have led to failed projects for other and provides organizations in need of SIM with guidance for ensuring a successful SIM Project.

Assessing Endpoint Security Solutions: Why Detection Rates Aren't Enough |
|
|
The primary reason for an organization to buy an endpoint security solution is to protect its network, systems and data from malware. It is tempting, therefore, to base an assessment of potential solutions largely on malware detection rates. In reality, however, detection tests – no matter how thorough – provide only a snapshot of a security vendor’s ability to provide ongoing manageable protection. There are several other equally important criteria that should be taken into account.

Before Microsoft released Microsoft XP Service Pack 2 (SP2), most attackers would compromise a computer system by simply attacking it with known vulnerabilities or "bugs" that could allow the attacker to gain some level of control over the system. Newer attack methods were starting to be seen where the attacker would take advantage of vulnerabilities within the Internet browser itself.
