1. Introduction.

Network Security [PTG: PRENTICE HALL PROFESSIONAL] (Computer Science)

PAUL E. PROCTOR is the Director of Technology at Cybersafe Corporation and Chief Technology Officer of the firm's Centrax Division. Proctor has worked in intrusion detection for nearly 15 years and developed many commercial intrusion detection technologies. He sat on the Intrusion Detection Subgroup of the President's National Security Telecommunications Advisory Committee (NSTAC), has been an invited speaker at the CIA, and has been personally involved in several of the world's most significant intruder "take-downs." Sorry, but he can't tell you which ones!

The definitive guide to understanding, selecting, and deploying intrusion detection in the enterprise!

• Product selection, planning, and operations
• Filled with real-life cases and stories of intrusion detection systems in action
• Covers host-based and network-based intrusion detection

Foreword by Dorothy Denning, author of Cryptography and Data Security and Information Warfare and Security

Technical Edit by Ira Winkler, author of Corporate Espionage

In The Practical Intrusion Detection Handbook, one of the field's leading experts shows exactly how to detect, deter, and respond to security threats using intrusion detection systems. Using real-world case studies and practical checklists, Paul E. Proctor shows what intrusion detection software can achieve, and how to integrate it into a comprehensive strategy for protecting information and e-commerce assets. No other guide to intrusion detection offers all this:

• Practical coverage of host-based, network-based, and hybrid solutions
• Detailed selection criteria and sample RFPs
• Key factors associated with successful deployment
• Intrusion detection in action: response, surveillance, damage assessment, data forensics, and beyond
• Six myths of intrusion detection — and the realities

Whether you're a senior IT decision-maker, system administrator, or infosecurity specialist, intrusion detection is a key weapon in your security arsenal. Now, there's a start-to-finish guide to making the most of it: The Practical Intrusion Detection Handbook by Paul E. Proctor.

"Intrusion detection has gone from a theoretical concept to a practical solution, from a research dream to a major product area, from an idea worthy of study to a key element of the national plan for cyber defense. . . Nobody brought that about more than Paul Proctor. . . Paul brings his considerable knowledge and experience with commercial intrusion detection products to this first-of-a-kind book."
