PERFORMANCE METHOD OF ASSESSMENT OF THE INTRUSION DETECTION AND PREVENTION SYSTEMS

The intrusion detection systems and intrusion prevention systems (IDS / IPS) are the latest tools of the security of the computerised data of a company although the evaluation of their performance and efficiency is important. In [13], we tried to assess the performance of these tools with regard to the analysis methods, reliability, etc; in [14], with regard to the objectives of the computer security; and in [15], we evaluated the performance of the IDS and IPS on the basis of the artificial neural network. This article is organized as follows: section 2 presents the assessment of the analysis method, reliability, responsiveness, easiness of implementation and adaptability, etc; section 3 presents the performance assessment in relation to the objectives of the computer security embodied in integrity, confidentiality, authenticity and availability; section 4 presents an IDS and IPS performance evaluation based on the artificial neural network. The article closes up with a conclusion
