Hi Tran:
As has also been suggested by Augusto in reply to your mail, you can choose different sources of information and then apply "Data Fusion techniques" and correlations to find some clue about attack. i think if you are focusing on anomaly-based IDS, then you may try in this direction to reduce the false positives. Such approach shouls also be good for misuse-based IDS, provided you can identify the true sources of data wherein attacks menifest themselves.


By the way...I just want to know why you have decided already DSS for IDS? you should first feel the need to apply this or you should have some defined problems with you and DSS should be able to solve those. This is the proper approach to choose some technique. please think in this direction also.
ok all the best

Hi There

I am doing a project of applying data mining techniques to Intrusion Detection systems.

I am also interested in DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM (Note that this is decision SUPPORT system, not decision MAKING. So it does not make decision but SUPPORT the decision making process.). So I decide to have DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM as a section of my project.

The problem is that I dont know how to LINK Intrusion Detection to DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM.

I thought: IDS can detect possible THREATS and this helps Network Admin to make DECISION about the security level, or DO corrective ACTIONS.

Can you give me some thoughts of HOW TO LINK/RELATE IDS to DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM? In the other words, how IDS can be considered as a DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM and are there any products relating to this topic in real world?

Thanks

Have a nice day
