Risk Roundup Webcast: Autonomous Network Security

Autonomous Network Security

The sophistication, speed, and scale of attacks are evolving rapidly in cyberspace. As new attack vectors are being introduced from cloud services, IoT devices, and more, they are creating security blind spots and making threat detection more difficult for humans to tackle on their own.

Since the task of

responding to these cyber-attacks in real-time has become enormously complex, to
offset these growing risks, artificial intelligence (AI) seems to have become
an indispensable tool for security for every nation.

Trends across nations are

driving towards automating network security decisions.  The reason behind that is certificate-based
protocols are proving costly and ineffective. Despite that most of the
solutions today rely on certificate-based crucial public key infrastructure
solutions.

Is Autonomous AI Needed

in Cybersecurity?

When the internet of things is on its way to connecting cyberspace to aquaspace, geospace and space (CAGS) and individuals and entities across nations: its government, industries, organizations, and academia (NGIOA), large amounts of digital data is on their way to being produced. Since the growing data needs to be securely communicated, there is a need for evolution in how we secure our digital networks.

Automated and

autonomous attacks will not just target emails and corporate and government networks,
there will be attacks on infrastructure as well. As a result, there is a need
for new security solutions. The reason is that humans alone cannot identify the
elusive, uncommon behaviors suggestive of today’s secret assailant in
cyberspace, or at least, not before it is too late. The global NGIOA/CAGS
networks are simply too big and too complicated.

In an age where we will soon see algorithmic battles, machines fighting machines, it will far outpace human security teams’ ability to keep up. As a result, arming up with perhaps autonomous network security will be crucial to staying one step ahead of an ever-evolving intelligent adversary in cyberspace.

Since there is a

growing belief that autonomous artificial intelligence is deeply needed for
securing cyberspace, it is essential to evaluate:

  • Do we need a fully
automated and autonomous network defense system? 
  • Will autonomous AI
  • become our first line of defense in cyberspace?
  • What areas of
  • cyberspace is the focus?
  • What solutions are
  • emerging?

    With the advancements

    in autonomous technologies from across nations, it is projected that the future
    certainly holds the reality of Artificial Intelligence-driven cyber-attacks,
    where malware can self-propagate through a series of autonomous decisions and
    intelligently tailor itself to the parameters of the compromised system in
    order to become stealthier to dodge detection.

    The time is now to

    evaluate the risks and rewards of autonomous network security!

    of research, spanning security of and from science and technology domains. Her
    work is currently focused on understanding how converging technologies and
    their interconnectivity across cyberspace, aquaspace, geospace, and space
    (CAGS), as well as individuals and entities across nations: their governments,
    industries, organizations, and academia (NGIOA), create survival, security, and
    sustainability risks. This research is pursued to provide strategic security
    solutions for the future of humanity. From
    the National Science Foundation to organizations from across the United States, Europe, and Asia, Dr. Pandya is an invited speaker on emerging technologies,
