Synopsis

Intrusion detection systems are increasingly recognized as a key weapon in the war against computer crime. In The Practical Intrusion Detection Handbook, one of the field's leading experts shows exactly how to use them to detect, deter, and respond to security threats. This is the only intrusion detection book to present practical advice for the entire lifecycle: choosing products, planning, deployment, operations, and beyond. Full of checklists and real-world case studies, The Practical Intrusion Detection Handbook demonstrates exactly how to integrate intrusion detection into a total strategy for protecting your information and e-commerce assets. Paul E. Proctor introduces each approach to intrusion detection, including host-based, network-based, and hybrid solutions; then offers practical selection criteria; and reviews the key factors associated with successful deployment. You'll watch today's best intrusion detection systems in action, through response, surveillance, damage assessment, and data forensics. Finally, Proctor addresses the future of intrusion detection -- from standards and interoperability to law and ethics.

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."
