Abstract

The aim of this paper is to conduct a performance comparative analysis of open-source HIPS (Host Intrusion Prevention System) solutions in order to improve security measures in power systems. First, the HIPS technology is introduced with an emphasis on its use for increasing security within power systems. Secondly, selected HIPS solutions are introduced in order to conduct the comparative analysis. Finally, the results of the comparative analysis of the individual solutions are presented with an emphasis on the use of system resources in the deployment of HIPS solutions on Windows workstations.
