This includes examining them for traces of possible incidents that are in violations or threats of violation of computer security policies, acceptable use policies, or standard security practices (Ogunleye & Ogunde, 2011). Intrusion detection is become more than ever an important focus of many organization. This focus is driven by the availability of more information systems and globalization through the use of the internet. The market place is no longer the residents of a small town going to the local mall, but services online available to anyone with a web browser. With all this access vastly multiplies the possibilities of one masked robber in a year to thousands of wrong dowers at a desktop or laptop that has discovered vulnerability in the system and decides to take the chance to exploit it. There are various approaches an organization can use to deal with many of the problems that exist with securing an information system. Jain’s (2008) article from the ICFAI Journal of Information Technology depicts a scenario of a network intrusion detection team and how situation can be averted: …The hackers started with slating down the objectives of their ‘Limited Knowledge Penetration Testing’, also referred to as ‘White Box Approach’, and gathered sufficient information to ensure that the testing did not affect the normal business operations.
