Survey on Intrusion Detection and Prevention System and Proposed Cost Effective Solution Using Software Agent

Abstract

Internet makes life easier, provides a best platform to do business and increases the employment and lots more the list is endless. Everything has two sides; the dark side of internet is its openness. Data are most precious in computer world, and any valuable things are viable target for thieves (hackers, crackers or intruder). Security threats are always around in such openness (Internet) environment. Intruders always search for vulnerabilities [16] or flaws in target system and attack using different techniques. The main features of agents are intelligence and mobility which is the core motivation to us to designed cost effective Agent based Intrusion Prevention System (AIPS). In this paper we have reviewed all known methods of IDPS.
