Network Security White Papers

An Efficient and Intelligent Intrusion Detection and Response System Using Virtual Private Networks, Firewalls and Packet Filters

Tags:
network security

Overview There major challenges for current Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) which attempt to identify suspicious network traffic. Due to the high percentage of alerts generated by such systems, the level of false positives is among the significant problems. This paper presents intelligent strategies for reduction of false positives and infrastructure protection using a novel approach using adaptive responses from firewall packet filters in what is called, Network Quarantine Channels (NQC). This involves using an efficient and intelligent intrusion detection and response system using Virtual Private Networks, firewalls and packet filters.

Spam filters: Users still fearful over false positives

Email users are keen to have unsolicited emails filtered out, but are undoing much of the labour-saving good work of their filters by then insisting on seeing all mails before they are deleted in order to check for false positives.

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.
