Monitoring Intrusion Detection Systems: From Data to Knowledge

Abstract There is a growing critical need for security in corporate computer systems today. Corporations around the world have embraced the Internet with surprising rapidity. Today, these corporation's computer systems are increasingly becoming connected to other corporation's systems as extranets span multiple companies. Many systems have become dependent on the operation and well being of these systems. Our national infrastructure computers can no longer function without network connectivity. Therefore, these systems, so vital to our way of living and doing business, become the targets for both hackers and terrorists.
