Though network security has almost always been about encryption and decryption, the field of network security is moving towards securing the network environment rather than just stored or transferred data.
Privacy, Intrusion Detection and Response: Technologies for Protecting Networks explores the latest practices and research works in the area of privacy, intrusion detection, and response. Increased interest on intrusion detection together with prevention and response proves that protecting data either in the storage or during transfer is necessary, but not sufficient, for the security of a network. This book discusses the latest trends and developments in network security and privacy, and serves as a vital reference for researchers, academics, and practitioners working in the field of privacy, intrusion detection, and response.
