RSS false positiveThe Next Generation of Static Analysis: Boolean Satisfiability and Path Simulation - A Perfect Match
White Paper But excessive false-positive results are the main reason why many source code analysis products quickly become shelfware after a few uses. This white paper provides a brief overview of the history of static analysis and explains how the use of... [09 Jul 2008]
Improvement and Implementation of Network Intrusion Detection System
White Paper In addition to high false positive ratio and high false negative ratio, their own performances are difficult to be adapted to the need of increasing network traffic. Current Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDSes) are confronted with some... [08 Jul 2008]
Selecting Features for Intrusion Detection: A Feature Relevance Analysis on KDD 99 Intrusion Detection Datasets
White Paper Numerous researchers employed the datasets in KDD 99 intrusion detection competition to study the utilization of machine learning for intrusion detection and reported detection rates up to 91% with false positive rates less than 1%. [08 Jul 2008]
Formal Reasoning About Intrusion Detection Systems
White Paper The goal of intrusion detection is to detect attacks with low false positive rate and low false negative rate. Intrusion detection is an appealing approach to improving the security of systems. It involves the runtime gathering of data from system... [05 Jul 2008]
The Value of Intrusion Detection Systems in Information Technology Security Architecture
White Paper It was found that the IDS configuration, represented by detection (true positive) and false alarm (false positive) rates, determines whether a firm realizes a positive or negative value from the IDS. The increasing significance of information... [30 Jun 2008]
An Evaluation Technique for Network Intrusion Detection Systems
White Paper This paper addresses the need for an evaluation technique and proposes a comparison technique for current scan detection algorithms that can accurately measure the false positive rate and precision of identified scanners. [31 May 2008]
Enhancing Byte-Level Network Intrusion Detection Signatures With Context
White Paper While being highly efficient, they tend to suffer from a high false-positive rate. Therewith, the paper greatly enhances the signature's expressiveness and hence the ability to reduce false positives. [22 May 2008]
Cisco Security Agent ROI: Deploying Intrusion Protection Agents on the Endpoint
White Paper This paper describes the Cisco Security Agent, which does not deploy signatures but focuses on application behavior, and is not subject to a false positive rate. Furthermore, correlation is deployed at both the agent and enterprise levels for... [10 Apr 2008]
Intrusion Detection System (IDS)
White Paper Conventional IDS rely on signatures or anomalies, producing an ever-increasing quantity of data, including false positive and false negatives. This white paper describes what Intelligent IDS is and how a conventional IDS has been integrated with... [10 Apr 2008]
'Generation Facebook' IT skills wasted at work
News Speakman said the "much more positive attitude to IT" of these education leavers is good news for business, adding they are "not there to kill things [IT systems]". And it is a cost-related thing in my opinion but that is probably a false economy. [03 Mar 2008]
The Way by Estimating the Variation of TCP Packet Round Trip Time to Detect Stepping-Stone Intrusion
White Paper Comparing with previous approaches, Std-ratio has the advantages: it can be applied to encrypted sessions; it is not necessary to monitor a connection chain all the while; it has low false negative and positive error; it can overcome the unit bar... [26 Dec 2007]
Victim-Assisted Mitigation Technique for TCP-Based Reflector DDoS Attacks
White Paper This paper evaluates the proposed scheme through analytical studies for classical and advanced attacks using two performance metrics, namely, the false positive and false negative rates. This paper develops the concept of victim-assistance for... [19 Dec 2007]
Dell slapped with fraud lawsuit
News Dell is being accused of making false promises to customers to drive sales, according to a lawsuit filed by New York attorney general Andrew Cuomo. The court filing accuses Dell and Dell Financial Services of fraud, false advertising and deceptive... [16 May 2007]
Context- and Path-Sensitive Memory Leak Detection
White Paper In experiments with six large open source projects their analysis produced 510 warnings of which 455 were unique memory leaks, a false positive rate of only 10.8%. This paper presents a context- and path-sensitive algorithm for detecting memory... [18 Apr 2007]
The Challenge of Securing Hard to Patch Servers in Health Care Environments
White Paper In the face of this inability to patch quickly, most of the solutions on the market are poorly suited to mitigate the vulnerabilities and provide an adequate compensating control, without compromising system availability, flooding administrators... [22 Dec 2006]
