University of Wollongong in Dubai - Papers

Security is a big issue for all networks in any enterprise environment. Many solutions have been proposed to secure the network infrastructure and communication over the Internet. Intrusion Detection Systems with many different techniques such as data mining approaches are employed to maximize the detection rate of intrusions while reducing false alarm rate. For instance, many clustering techniques are recommended which segregate normal and abnormal data in IDSs. Clustering methods put emphasis on finding differences and similarities of traffic sessions to categorize each one in its corresponding groups. These groups are represented by their assigned labels. Later, these labels are …
