Abstract

Paradoxically, every thing that makes computer networks so useful and popular, their ability to enable communication between an ever-increasing numbers of people on a global scale, is also the thing that renders them vulnerable to abuse. For a software to succeed in today's ever-increasing market, it not only has to function correctly but it also has to be fast, secure, fault tolerant, distributed, easy-to-use, and much more. Customers require new solutions to secure networks that face increasing security threats, as well as to address evolving network environments and new business requirements. Mobile agents are an effective choice for many applications due to several reasons, including improvements in latency and bandwidth of client-server applications, reducing network load and vulnerabilities assessment. [1]. This paper describes the approach of distributed agent architecture for monitoring, intrusion detection and response in networked computers.
