Abstract

Attacks and intrusionsto informationsystems cause large revenue losses. The prevention of these attacks is not always possible by just considering information from isolated sources of the network. A global view of the whole system is necessary to react against the different actions of such an attack. The design and deploymentof a decentralized system targeted at detecting as well as reacting to informationsystem attacks might benefit from the use of the publish/subscribemodel. In this paper, we discussthe advantages and conveniencein usingthis com- munication paradigm for a general decentralized attack preventionframework and overview the designand imple- mentationof our approach by using a combinationof two different publish/subscribemiddleware products. Further- more, wepresentaquantitativeevaluationofourapproach.
