Addressing Security Issues by Means of Intrusion Confinement

Security has emerged as the biggest threat to information systems. System protection mechanisms such as access controls can be fooled by authorized but malicious users, masqueraders, and misfeasors. As a result, serious damage can be caused either because many intrusions are never detected or because the average detection latency is too long. In this paper, we define intrusion confinement thru isolation to address such security issue, its importance and finally present an isolation protocol.
