RSS signatureNIC-Based Intrusion Detection: A Feasibility Study
White Paper Functions such as signature-based and anomaly-based packet classification are performed on the NIC, which has its own processor and memory. This paper presents and evaluates a NIC-based network intrusion detection system. [01 Jul 2008]
Magic Quadrant for Intrusion Detection Systems
White Paper Signature-based inspection is a subset of features that can be found in intrusion prevention systems and next-generation firewalls. The intrusion Detection System (IDS) industry is struggling to justify inordinate investments in complicated... [01 Jul 2008]
Elephant: Network Intrusion Detection Systems That Don't Forget
White Paper Because most NIDSs are signature-based, it is critical to update their rule-sets frequently; unfortunately, doing so can result in downtime that causes state to be lost, leading to vulnerabilities of attack misclassification. [30 Jun 2008]
MailFrontier Anti-Virus: A Complete Solution to Protect Your Network From Outbreaks
White Paper With most anti-virus products, networks are left vulnerable during the dangerous window between the time a virus first appears and the time a signature is developed and deployed that will remove the virus. [30 Jun 2008]

WIND: Workload-Aware INtrusion Detection
White Paper These trends place additional performance requirements on the rule-matching engine inside IDSs and IPSs, which check each signature against an incoming packet. Existing approaches to signature evaluation apply statically-defined optimizations that... [21 May 2008]
Applying Fast String Matching to Intrusion Detection
White Paper The performance of signature-based network intrusion detection tools is dominated by the string matching of packets against many signatures. This paper studies how the popular intrusion detection system Snort can be best optimized to utilize... [21 May 2008]
How to Defend Your Network from Sudden Zero-Day Attacks
White Paper Most worms and viruses do their damage while they're still new and unrecognized by antivirus signature files. How do you defend your network against emerging and unknown malware threats and zero-day attacks? [16 May 2008]
