Enhancing the Accuracy of Network-Based Intrusion Detection With Host-Based Context

Overview In the recent past, both network- and host-based approaches to intrusion detection have received much attention in the network security community. No approach, taken exclusively, provides a satisfactory solution: network-based systems are prone to evasion, while host-based solutions suffer from scalability and maintenance problems. This paper presents an integrated approach, leveraging the best of both worlds: they preserve the advantages of network-based detection, but alleviate its weaknesses by improving the accuracy of the traffic analysis with specific host-based context. The framework preserves a separation of policy from mechanism, is highly configurable and more flexible than sensor/manager-based architectures, and imposes a low overhead on the involved end hosts.
