The Classic Cyber Defense Methods Have Failed – What Comes Next?

Military and Strategic Affairs, Volume 5, No. 1, May 2013

עברית
Amir Averbuch
Gabi Siboni

The classic defense methods employed throughout the world in recent decades are proving unsuccessful in halting modern malware attacks that exploit unknown (and therefore still unsolved) security breaches called “zero-day vulnerabilities.” This article proposes an up-to-date approach, based on an analysis of sensitive information that must be protected, for the purpose of identifying anomalous behavior. The article further proposes relying on the data to be protected as a source of knowledge for developing the defense system. An analytical analysis of massive data (big data analytics) will make it possible to identify such malware, while constructing a model that will provide a high degree of reliability in identifying and minimizing false positives, which pose a challenge to every defense system.

The laser is an auxiliary tool on the modern battlefield, used either as a weapon—such as a high-power laser—or as a supporting means, such as a target designator or range finder. One of the most prominent uses of lasers is as a type of sensor, or a kind of sensitive radar, for detecting stationary or moving objects and for highly accurate area mapping, in a system known as LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging).

Recommendations of the Nagel Committee—Rushing Toward the AI Abyss
A close examination of the recommendations of the National Committee for Accelerating the Field of Artificial Intelligence raises concern that the committee chose to focus on achieving a status symbol that signals leadership in the field, rather than on steps that would advance the realization of its vision
