Architecture and Background

Rich Murphey - Intrusion Prevention Techniques on Windows and Unix Intrusion Prevention Techniques on Windows and Unix What exactly is intrusion prevention and why the heck should we care?

Vulnerability Analysis

This talk surveys some of the common features of Intrusion Prevention systems, largely constrained by architectural layering of Windows and Unix kernels We then look at a case study of intrusion prevention and discuss how it differs from IDS, Firewall, AV, and others.
