Despite a rocky beginning, intrusion detection and prevention systems are an important part of any security arsenal. We road-test six hardware and software-based systems. Intrusion detection systems ...

Dr. James McCaffrey from Microsoft Research presents a demonstration program that models biological immune systems to identify network intrusion threats. The demo illustrates challenges with ...

Intrusion detection systems, long constrained by high false-positive rates and limited adaptability, are being re-engineered ...
