Generating Realistic Workloads for Network Intrusion Detection Systems

Tags:
network security

Overview While the use of network Intrusion Detection Systems (nIDS) is becoming pervasive, evaluating nIDS performance has been found to be challenging. The goal of this study is to determine how to generate realistic workloads for nIDS performance evaluation. A workload model is developed that appears to provide reasonably accurate estimates compared to real workloads. The model attempts to emulate a traffic mix of different applications, reflecting characteristics of each application and the way these interact with the system. This model is implemented as part of a traffic generator that can be extended and tuned to reflect the needs of different scenarios. This paper presents an approach to measuring the capacity of a nIDS that does not require the setup of a full network testbed.

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. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.

IBM Information Server Change Data Capture

In today's fast-paced world, access to real-time data has never been more important. To be successful, organizations need to be able to report and analyze corporate data quickly and easily, regardless of what applications created the data, what platform they're running on, or what database they're stored in.
