Worms Vs. Perimeters: The Case for Hard-LANs

Tags: network infrastructure, infrastructure, network

Overview Network worms - self-propagating network programs - represent a substantial threat to the network infrastructure. Due to the propagation speed of worms, reactive defenses need to be automatic. It is important to understand where and how these defenses need to fit in the network so that they cannot be easily evaded. As there are several mechanisms malcode authors can use to bypass existing perimeter-centric defenses, this position paper argues that substantial defenses will need to be embedded in the local area network, thus creating "Hard-LANs" designed to detect and respond to worm infections.
