Anomaly Detection - Application To Data Security

Application To Data Security

Anomaly detection was proposed for Intrusion detection systems (IDS) by Dorothy Denning in 1986. Anomaly detection for IDS is normally accomplished with thresholds and statistics, but can also be done with Soft computing, and inductive learning. Types of statistics proposed by 1999 included profiles of users, workstations, networks, remote hosts, groups of users, and programs based on frequencies, means, variances, covariances, and standard deviations. The counterpart of Anomaly detection in Intrusion detection is Misuse Detection.

Famous quotes containing the words application to, application, data and/or security:

    If you would be a favourite of your king, address yourself to his weaknesses. An application to his reason will seldom prove very successful.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    We will not be imposed upon by this vast application of forces. We believe that most things will have to be accomplished still by the application called Industry. We are rather pleased, after all, to consider the small private, but both constant and accumulated, force which stands behind every spade in the field. This it is that makes the valleys shine, and the deserts really bloom.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Mental health data from the 1950’s on middle-aged women showed them to be a particularly distressed group, vulnerable to depression and feelings of uselessness. This isn’t surprising. If society tells you that your main role is to be attractive to men and you are getting crow’s feet, and to be a mother to children and yours are leaving home, no wonder you are distressed.
    Grace Baruch (20th century)

    There is one safeguard known generally to the wise, which is an advantage and security to all, but especially to democracies as against despots. What is it? Distrust.
    Demosthenes (c. 384–322 B.C.)
