An Introduction to Intrusion Detection and Assessment

Date Published: 03 JUN 2002

About the White Paper: Systems and networks are subject to electronic attacks. The increasingly frequent attacks on Internet-visible systems are attempts to breach information security requirements for protection of data. Vulnerability-assessment tools check systems and networks for system problems and configuration errors that represent security vulnerabilities. Intrusion-detection systems collect information from a variety of vantage points within computer systems and networks and analyze this information for symptoms of security breaches. Both intrusion-detection and vulnerability-assessment technologies allow organizations to protect themselves from losses associated with network security problems.
