Intrusion Detection Technology Closes in on Hackers

摘要

Protecting the average business computer from a barrage of malicious network intrusions is high on the priority list of many of today's World Wide Web-based organizations. In a move to step up research in network security technology, the U.S. Navy is contracting out a three-year effort to pursue security systems development. The framework for the research is the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's (DARPA's) active networks program, which since 1996 has focused on transforming existing networks into more dynamic and programmable entities. Now, the program has expanded its scope to include research on new types of intrusion detection.
