Abstract

System and network security are significant challenges facing the Internet community today. Hi-tech crime is on the increase and is a threat to a budding online business environment. Reconnaissance technologies that enable the security community to keep abreast of new threats have been developed and deployed. These technologies monitor illegitimate Internet traffic but appropriate data analysis is required to identify new and emerging threats amongst the deluge of traffic that is illegitimate but known and understood. This paper presents an approach towards the automation of such an analysis process.
