- Enriching Intrusion Alerts Through Multi-Host Causality
- Current intrusion detection systems point out suspicious states or events but do not show how the suspicious state or events relate to other states or events in the system. This paper shows how to enrich an IDS alert with information about how those alerts causally lead to or result from...

- MATE: MPLS Adaptive Traffic Engineering
- Destination-based forwarding in traditional IP routers has not been able to take full advantage of multiple paths that frequently exist in Internet Service Provider Networks. As a result, the networks may not operate efficiently, especially when the traffic patterns are dynamic. This paper describes a multipath adaptive traffic engineering mechanism,...

- Rethinking Antivirus: Executable Analysis in the Network Cloud
- Antivirus software installed on each end host in an organization has become the de-facto security mechanism used to defend against unwanted executables. This paper argues that the executable analysis currently provided by host-based antivirus software can be more efficiently and effectively provided as an in-cloud network service. Instead of running...

- WIND: Workload-Aware INtrusion Detection
- Intrusion detection and prevention systems have become essential to the protection of critical networks across the Internet. Widely deployed IDS and IPS systems are based around a database of known malicious signatures. This database is growing quickly while at the same time the signatures are getting more complex. These trends...

- A Low-Power Dual-VDD Microprocessor for General Purpose Correlation Applications
- This paper presents a 143 MHz 16-bit RISC microprocessor. The processor includes a reconfigurable multiplier that was customized for correlation algorithms. Low-power techniques such as dual-Vdd (2.5/1.8V) and clock gating reduced power by 39% without compromising performance. In addition to the correlator, an I/O interface is included that allows for...

- Siren: Catching Evasive Malware (Short Paper)
- With the growing popularity of anomaly detection systems, which is due partly to the rise in zero-day attacks, a new class of threats have evolved where the attacker mimics legitimate activity to blend in and avoid detection. This paper proposes a new system called Siren that injects crafted human input...

- Optimizing Call Center Staffing Using Simulation and Analytic Center Cutting Plane Methods
- The authors considered the problem of minimizing staffing costs in an inbound call center, while maintaining an acceptable level of service in multiple time periods. The problem is complicated by the fact that staffing level in one time period can affect the service levels in subsequent periods. The authors present...
