Collaborative Outlier Mining for Intrusion Detection
In EGC 2009, vol. RNTI-E-15, pp.313-324
Abstract
Intrusion detection is an important topic dealing with security of in- formation systems. Most successful Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) rely on signature detection and need to update their signature as fast as new attacks are emerging. On the other hand, anomaly detection may be utilized for this purpose, but it suffers from a high number of false alarms. Actually, any behaviour which is significantly different from the usual ones will be considered as dangerous by an anomaly based IDS. Therefore, isolating true intrusions in a set of alarms is a very challenging task for anomaly based intrusion detection. In this paper, we consider to add a new feature to such isolated behaviours before they can be considered as malicious. This feature is based on their possible repetition from one information system to another. We propose a new outlier mining principle and validate it through a set of experiments.
