{"product_id":"9781783263769","title":"Data Analysis For Network Cyber-security","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere is increasing pressure to protect computer networks against unauthorized intrusion, and some work in this area is concerned with engineering systems that are robust to attack. However, no system can be made invulnerable. \u003ci\u003eData Analysis for Network Cyber-Security\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on monitoring and analyzing network traffic data, with the intention of preventing, or quickly identifying, malicious activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuch work involves the intersection of statistics, data mining and computer science. Fundamentally, network traffic is relational, embodying a link between devices. As such, graph analysis approaches are a natural candidate. However, such methods do not scale well to the demands of real problems, and the critical aspect of the timing of communications events is not accounted for in these approaches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book gathers papers from leading researchers to provide both background to the problems and a description of cutting-edge methodology. The contributors are from diverse institutions and areas of expertise and were brought together at a workshop held at the University of Bristol in March 2013 to address the issues of network cyber security. The workshop was supported by the Heilbronn Institute for Mathematical Research.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInference for Graphs and Networks: Adapting Classical Tools to Modern Data \u003ci\u003e(Benjamin P Olding and Patrick J Wolfe)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRapid Detection of Attacks in Computer Networks by Quickest Changepoint Detection Methods \u003ci\u003e(Alexander G Tartakovsky)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStatistical Detection of Intruders Within Computer Networks Using Scan Statistics \u003ci\u003e(Joshua Neil, Curtis Storlie, Curtis Hash and Alex Brugh)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCharacterizing Dynamic Group Behavior in Social Networks for Cybernetics \u003ci\u003e(Sumeet Dua and Pradeep Chowriappa)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeveral Approaches for Detecting Anomalies in Network Traffic Data \u003ci\u003e(Céline Lévy-Leduc)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMonitoring a Device in a Communication Network \u003ci\u003e(Nicholas A Heard and Melissa Turcotte)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReadership:\u003c\/b\u003e Researchers and graduate students in the fields of network traffic data analysis and network cyber security.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Imperial College Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47136867713264,"sku":"9781783263769","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781783263769_p0.jpg?v=1763722980","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781783263769","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
