An Intelligent Firewall to Detect Novel Attacks

Tags:
firewalls

Overview This paper reports the research in progress concerning the integration of different security techniques. A main purpose of the project is to integrate a smart detection engine into a firewall. The smart detection engine will aim at not only detecting anomalous network traffic as in classical IDSs, but also detecting unusual structures in data packets that suggest the presence of virus data. This paper supports on the concept of an intelligent firewall that contains a smart detection engine for potentially malicious data packets.

Quocirca's Straight Talking: Out-of-the-box options

These appliances are specifically designed to do one thing well: they make sure packets of electronic data end up in the right place. This has led to a proliferation of technology for checking identities of users and the content of data packets.

Analysis: The network is the security

Network devices will have the ability to tear apart packets, block malicious code, enforce policies and filter content up and down the OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) stack. To minimize malicious-code propagation, every desktop will be scanned...

Hackers to test MPs' IT systems

The House of Commons is also looking to buy an intrusion prevention system (IPS) - a combination of intrusion detection software and a firewall - to reduce the risk of denial of service attacks, virus outbreaks and Trojans.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change.
