Abstract

Intrusion detection can be defined as the method of identifying malicious activities that target a network and its resources. The main use of intrusion detection systems (IDS) is to detect attacks against information systems and networks. A main difficulty in the field of intrusion detection is the organization of alerts. Normally IDS's produced numerous alerts, which cannot provide a clear idea to the analyst about what type of alert occur, which type of alert is generated etc. because of the huge number of alerts generated by these systems. One solution of this problem is classifying the alerts. During this paper, we try to represent an overview of IDS alerts classification techniques.
