Re: [BULK] IDS - DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM

[Sanjay Rawat <sanjayr () intoto com>]

Hi Tran:
As has also been suggested by Augusto in reply to your mail, you can choose 
different sources of information and then apply "Data Fusion techniques" 
and correlations to find some clue about attack. i think if you are 
focusing on anomaly-based IDS, then you may try in this direction to reduce 
the false positives. Such approach shouls also be good for misuse-based 
IDS, provided you can identify the true sources of data wherein attacks 
menifest themselves.

By the way...I just want to know why you have decided already DSS for IDS? 
you should first feel the need to apply this or you should have some 
defined problems with you and DSS should be able to solve those. This is 
the proper approach to choose some technique. please think in this 
direction also.
ok all the best

Sanjay
