Utilising fuzzy logic and trend analysis for effective intrusion detection

Computer security, and intrusion detection in particular, has become increasingly important in today's business environment, to ensure safe and trusted commerce between business partners as well as effective organizational functioning. Various approaches to intrusion detection are currently being utilized, but unfortunately in practice these approaches are relatively ineffective and inefficient. New means and ways that will minimize these shortcomings must, therefore, continuously be researched and defined. This paper will propose a proactive and dynamic approach, based on trend analysis and fuzzy logic that could be utilized to minimize and control intrusion in an organization's computer system.
