Abstract

The US Army is deploying a system connected via a mobile, wireless network that collects, distributes and displays information about the surrounding battlefield. This information is valuable, so the computers that store and display it and the communication infrastructure that transmits it need to be protected from attacks. In this paper, we describe Battlefield Intrusion Detection System (BIDS), version 2, a host-based intrusion prevention system. BIDS v2 operates by mediating application to operating system interactions. It has a configurable reporting and reaction capability and has been integrated with FBCB2 v7.0.3.
