A SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING INTRUSIONS THROUGH REAL-TIME PROCESSING OF TRAFFIC WITH EXTENSIVE HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE

A real-time perspective engine that can detect network intrusions by accepting network packets as input, organizing the packets, and processing them through a series of detection schemes to identify potentially malicious network behavior. The detection system can implement stateless detection that detects network threats in real-time. The detection system can implement state-full detection that detects network threats which in small amounts may appear innocuous but over time evidence a network attack or malicious activity.
