RE: Specification-based Anomaly Detection

Date: Mon, 17 Jan 2005 16:47:29 +0100
Don't be so fussy! I agree with Stefano, the big IDS trademarks as Cisco, ISS, 
NFR, Intrusion or Dragon have just started offering a little bit of real 
anomaly detection (using AI instead of signatures!), even if we know that 
network anomaly detection is almost 15 years old in the research comunity (I 
think the first was NADIR (Network Anomaly Detector and Intrusion Reporter, of 
Los Alamos National Laboratory in 1990).

detection approach.

Really? What would you call CMDS? Which was a commercial 
system that 
used anomaly detection by building user profiles and was available 
from ODS in the mid-90s?

My omission here: I meant NETWORK intrusion detection, as we 
were talking about NIDS in those posts. Commercial anomaly 
detection systems exist.
