What is ISEC4002 about?

This unit introduces the technology behind intrusion detection and examines the approaches taken by intrusion detection systems, both at the network and host level. It examines the differences between using host based and network based IDSs and how each of them can be implemented. Students learn how to analyse the different responses required, depending on the risk/threat to the system and how to handle intrusions. The unit will first examine in detail the different approaches in Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS). Next, the unit will cover how an intrusion detection system responds to an alarm and how to design and deploy an IDS to fit the requirements of differing organisations ranging from small LAN based system to multi-level distributed systems.
