Descrizione Network Intrusion Detection and Prevention: Concepts and Techniques
With the complexity of today's networks, it is impossible to know you are actually secure. You can prepare your network's defenses, but what threats will be thrown at it, what combinations will be tried, and what directions they will come from are all unknown variables. Most medium and large-scale network infrastructures include multiple high-speed connections to the Internet and support many customer collaborative networks, thousands of internal users and various web servers. Many of these systems are faced with an ever-increasing likelihood of unplanned downtime due to various attacks and security breaches. In this environment of uncertainty, which is full of hackers and malicious threats, those systems that are the best at maintaining the continuity of their services (i.e., survive the attacks) enjoy a significant competitive advantage. Minimizing unexpected and unplanned downtime can be done by identifying, prioritizing and defending against misuse, attacks and vulnerabilities.
