View/ Open
Abstract
The raid growth of computer networks and the expansion of internet have profoundly changed the way people and organizations communicate and interact. With these developments numerous security threats have been generated in the IT field. As a result Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) have received a lot of attention throughout the computer science field, as these technologies offer security mechanisms for protecting computer systems and information assets. Although numerous IDS technologies have been developed for large scale public and private entities, less attention has been given to small and home office (SOHO) environments. This thesis makes the attempt to fill this gap in the information security field by proposing a novel architecture and providing an effective and efficient solution in order to empower SOHO users to deal with security threats.
