Alert correlation using a novel clustering approach

Since the birth of intrusion detection system (ids) technology, the most significant implementation problem is the enormous number of alerts generated by the ids sensors. moreover due to this obtrusive predicament, two other problems have emerged which are the difficulty in processing the alerts acc...
