In a world with constantly evolving threats combined with unique new attack vectors, maintaining signatures for every individual piece of malware becomes unwieldy. A biologically modeled intrusion detection system based on the behavior of a population of ants has many advantages over traditional security measures. Each ant in the virtual colony has the ability to detect one specific metric of the current state of a computer. In combination, the results of these simple tests can point to specific attacks, while the dynamic nature of the Cooperative Infrastructure Defense (CID) offers performance benefits over the traditional static setup. en_US Wake Forest University security computer security IDS intrusion detection system ACO ants A Comparison of Static to Biologically Modeled Intrusion Detection Systems Thesis Release the entire work immediately for access worldwide.
