AFRL has recognized that to date, intrusion detection systems have had two major problems: inadequate sensitivity to attacks and incredibly high false alarm rates. Stottler Henke, under the AFRL contract “A New Integrated Approach to Intrusion Prevention, Detection, and Response (SBIR Phase II)” has shown that we need not trade sensitivity for accuracy. By correlating evidence from network and host based sensors, the Intelligent Correlation of Evidence (ICE) System can validate the presence of an attack before reporting it and also detect attacks that single-sensor based systems would miss. ICE appears to be the first in what is sure to be a new generation of tools that can fuse reports from a number of sources including other intrusion detection systems. We are eagerly awaiting the next release of the ICE system and look forward to the continuing advancements in Intrusion Detection/Prevention/Response Technology which Stottler Henke has been so adept in achieving.

Graphical timeline displays enable researchers to see clinically significant patterns in the data and understand the time course of each patient’s drug exposures and diseases quickly and consistently. Using these graphical data displays will enable researchers to easily validate potential drug safety problems.
