Book Description

Intrusion detection systems (IDS) are usually deployed along with other preventive security mechanisms, such as access control and authentication, as a second line of defense that protects information systems. Intrusion detection complements the protective mechanisms to improve the system security. Moreover, even if the preventive security mechanisms can protect information systems successfully, it is still desirable to know what intrusions have happened or are happening, so that the users can understand the security threats and risks and thus be better prepared for future attacks.
Intrusion detection techniques are traditionally categorized into two classes: anomaly detection and misuse detection. Anomaly detection is based on the normal behavior of a subject (e.g., user or a system); any action that significantly deviates from the normal behavior is considered intrusive. Misuse detection catches intrusions in terms of characteristics of known attacks or system vulnerabilities; any action that conforms to the pattern of known attack or vulnerability is considered intrusive.
Alternatively, IDS may be classified into host-based IDSs, distributed IDSs, and network based IDSs according to the source of the audit information used by each IDS. Host-based IDSs get audit data from host audit trails and usually aim at detecting attacks against a single host; distributed IDSs gather audit data from multiple hosts and possibly the network and connects the hosts, aiming at detecting attacks involving multiple hosts; network-based IDSs use network traffic as the audit data source, relieving the burden on the hosts that usually provide normal computing services.
Intrusion Detection In Distributed Systems: An Abstraction-Based Approach presents research contributions in three areas with respect to intrusion detection in distributed systems. The first contribution is an abstraction-based approach to addressing heterogeneity and autonomy of distributed environments. The second contribution is a formal framework for modeling requests among cooperative IDSs and its application to Common Intrusion Detection Framework (CIDF). The third contribution is a novel approach to coordinating different IDSs for distributed event correlation.
Intrusion Detection In Distributed Systems: An Abstraction-Based Approach is designed for a professional audience, composed of researchers and practitioners in industry. This book is also suitable as a secondary text for graduate-level students in computer science and electrical engineering.

Product Description

The "Hazardous Waste Compliance Guide" helps employers easily understand the most important hazardous waste regulations that affect their business. It explains the basic links between employee safety regulations and hazardous waste. The Guide also asks and answers fundamental questions regarding the handling and reduction of hazardous waste.

The Guide includes in depth discussion of OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard (Employee-Right-to-Know), which is one of the most commonly cited OSHA standards, and is among the standards for which employers pay the most in annual fines and penalties. There is emphasis on Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs), which are the main source for employee information about hazardous chemicals in the workplace.

The "Hazardous Waste Compliance Guide" provides an overview of the major federal laws that address hazardous waste, primarily the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and its implementing regulations and amendments. The Guide discusses other relevant laws, such as the Risk Management Plan under the Clean Air Act and Storm Water Program and Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure regulations under the Clean Water Act.

Because EPA's regulatory scheme rewards waste minimization, the Guide discusses the two basic ways to minimize waste: reduce the volume of waste or reduce its toxicity. There is discussion of waste minimization techniques for both hazardous and non-hazardous waste, with special emphasis on recycling. The Guide also details the requirements that apply to universal wastes.

This 13th Edition "Hazardous Waste Compliance Guide" also includes five sample safety plans required by EPA and/or OSHA, updated contact information for EPA and state environmental agencies, a new universal waste log for properly tracking shipment and waste disposal, a chart summarizing federal requirements for hazardous waste generators, and more.
