Model Generation for an Intrusion Detection System Using Genetic Algorithms

Tags:
network security

Overview As malicious intrusions (commonly termed "Hacks") into computer systems have become a growing problem, the need for accurately detecting these intrusions has risen. This paper presents a novel approach to detecting these intrusions by using a complex artificial intelligence method known as a genetic algorithm applied to an Intrusion Detection System. For this experiment, a genetic algorithm was written to learn how to detect malicious intrusions and separate them from normal use. The algorithm was then tested in a real-world simulation to gauge its effectiveness under unpredictable conditions.

Beating fraud - can business intelligence help?

Detecting instances of fraud is just one benefit from an ordered approach to analysing business-critical data. More eyes on the data provides more transparency into business operations and increases the likelihood of detecting fraud.

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?
