Analysis of Firewall Performance Variation to Identify the Limits of Automated Network Reconfigurations. (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Saliou, L., Buchanan, W. J., Graves, J., & Munoz, J. (2006). Analysis of Firewall Performance Variation to Identify the Limits of Automated Network Reconfigurations. In W. Hutchinson (Ed.),

Security in computer networks is typically passive, static, and reactive. This is typically due to most networking devices being rule-based, and when updates are necessary, they are normally done manually. Ultimately, the social and hierarchical stru...
