Data Warehousing and Data Mining Techniques for Cyber Security - Advances in Information Security Anoop Singhal 1st Ed. Softcover of Orig. Ed. 2007 edition

Jacket Description/Back: Data warehousing and data mining provide techniques for collecting information from distributed databases and for performing data analysis. The ever expanding, tremendous amount of data collected and stored in large databases has far exceeded our human ability to comprehend--without the proper tools. There is a critical need for data analysis that can automatically analyze data, summarize it and predict future trends. In the modern age of Internet connectivity, concerns about denial of service attacks, computer viruses and worms are extremely important. Data Warehousing and Data Mining Techniques for Cyber Security contributes to the discipline of security informatics. The author discusses topics that intersect cyber security and data mining, while providing techniques for improving cyber security. Since the cost of information processing and internet accessibility is dropping, an increasing number of organizations are becoming vulnerable to cyber attacks. This volume introduces techniques for applications in the area of retail, finance, and bioinformatics, to name a few. Data Warehousing and Data Mining Techniques for Cyber Security is designed for practitioners and researchers in industry. This book is also suitable for upper-undergraduate and graduate-level students in computer science. Description for Sales People: The application of data warehousing and data mining techniques to computer security is an important emerging area, as information processing and internet accessibility costs decline and more and more organizations become vulnerable to cyber attacks. These security breaches include attacks on single computers, computer networks, wireless networks, databases, or authentication compromises. This book describes data warehousing and data mining techniques that can be used to detect attacks. It is designed to be a useful handbook for practitioners and researchers in industry, and is also suitable as a text for advanced-level students in computer science.
