The State of the Art in Intrusion Prevention and Detection analyzes the latest trends and issues surrounding intrusion detection systems in computer networks especially in communications networks. Its broad scope of coverage includes wired wireless and mobile networks; next-generation converged networks; and intrusion in social networks. Presenting cutting-edge research the book presents novel schemes for intrusion detection and prevention. It discusses tracing back mobile attackers secure routing with intrusion prevention anomaly detection and AI-based techniques. It also includes information on physical intrusion in wired and wireless networks and agent-based intrusion surveillance detection and prevention. The book contains 19 chapters written by experts from 12 different countries that provide a truly global perspective. The text begins by examining traffic analysis and management for intrusion detection systems. It explores honeypots honeynets network traffic analysis and the basics of outlier detection. It talks about different kinds of IDSs for different infrastructures and considers new and emerging technologies such as smart grids cyber physical systems cloud computing and hardware techniques for high performance intrusion detection. The book covers artificial intelligence-related intrusion detection techniques and explores intrusion tackling mechanisms for various wireless systems and networks including wireless sensor networks WiFi and wireless automation systems. Containing some chapters written in a tutorial style this book is an ideal reference for graduate students professionals and researchers working in the field of computer and network security. .
