A Distributed Intrusion Detection System Based on Passive Sensors

Tags:
network design

Overview SURFnet is a very high-speed network which connects the networks of Dutch universities, colleges, research centers, academic hospitals and scientific libraries to one another and to other networks in Europe and the rest of the world. SURFnet handles many computer security incidents in which a SURFnet customer is involved, either as a victim or as a suspect. In order to decrease the amount of computer security incidents, SURFnet is going to roll-out a Distributed Intrusion Detection System (D-IDS) as a service to SURFnet connected parties.
