However, networks are still the victim of attacks. As the complexity of these attacks keeps increasing, new and more robust detection mechanisms need to be developed. The next generation of IDSs should be designed incorporating reasoning engines supported by contextual information about the network, cognitive information and situational awareness to improve their detection results. In this paper, we propose the use of a Fuzzy Cognitive Map (FCM) in conjunction with an IDS to incorporate contextual information into the detection process. We have evaluated the use of FCMs to adjust the Basic Probability Assignment (BPA) values defined prior to the data fusion process, which is crucial for the IDS that we have developed. The experimental results that we present verify that FCMs can improve the efficiency of our IDS by reducing the number of false alarms, while not affecting the number of correct detections

    The role of relational capabilities in technological breakthroughs

    While relational capabilities are the cornerstone of modern marketing practice and theory, there are conflicting claims about their value for technological breakthroughs. Our goal is to explore this conflicting role of market relating capabilities in technological breakthroughs. We first explore the impact of these two relational capabilities on the incidence of technological breakthroughs. Second, we examine the moderating impact of the same capabilities on the effect of technological breakthroughs on the financial performance of the firm. The results show that channel management capabilities reduce while CRM capabilities foster the technological radicalness of new products. We also find that channel management capabilities detract from the ability of firms to benefit financially from their technological radicalness while CRM capabilities foster it
