Abstract
An intrusion detection mechanism is provided for flexible, automatic, thorough, and consistent security checking and vulnerability resolution in a heterogeneous environment. The mechanism may provide a predefined number of default intrusion analysis approaches, such as signature-based, anomaly-based, scan-based, and danger theory. The intrusion detection mechanism also allows a limitless number of intrusion analysis approaches to be added on the fly. Using an intrusion detection skin, the mechanism allows various weights to be assigned to specific intrusion analysis approaches. The mechanism may adjust these weights dynamically. The score ration can be tailored to determine if an intrusion occurred and adjusted dynamically. Also, multiple security policies for any type of computing element may be enforced.
