Abstract
A computer/computer network security alert management system aggregates information from multiple intrusion detectors. Utilizing reports from multiple intrusion detectors reduces the high false alarm rate experienced by individual detectors while also improving detection of coordinated attacks involving a series of seemingly harmless operations. An internal representation of a protected enclave is utilized, and intrusion detection system (IDS) information is correlated to accurately prioritize alerts. In one embodiment, the system is capable of utilizing data from most existing IDS products, with flexibility to add further IDS products.
