The Massachusetts Institute of Technology hosted an event called "MIT Cybersecurity at a Glance" in order to launch its comprehensive cybersecurity program. MIT's efforts focus on solving the legal, regulatory, and commercial challenges associated with cybersecurity. The conference offered an overview on MIT's research, development and activities in these areas. In addition to cybersecurity, the event included a variety of panels, including one on memory sharing. This article will cover the importance IDSs and memory-sharing.
Memory sharing
Researchers prove the advantages of sharing memory to protect computer program secretes. This storage type allows programs to exchange data faster. Reading and writing data through regular operating system services can be slow and inefficient. All processes can access the information instantly by using shared memory. This is especially useful for cyber security research as it speeds up computations. As a result, it is important to protect sensitive information from being exposed by malicious programs.
Cryptographic systems
Cryptographic systems can protect networks, information, and communications from cyber threats. These systems use mathematical concepts and rules-based calculations in order to convert messages into an unreadable form. Cryptographic algorithms can be used to generate keys, digital signatures, data privacy, network integrity, confidential communications, and other purposes. With the advancement of computers at an affordable price and the growth of the Internet, these systems have become more widely accessible. In the past, people only had access to these systems, but today, high-quality encryption can be used by everyone.
Intrusion detection system (IDS)
IDS, an IDS-type security tool, is designed to identify and block malware before it executes. It can only happen with high-quality IDSs. With the proliferation of computer malware, IDSs are being developed to make detection and prevention of such threats easier. Two types of IDS are most popular: the statistical and the knowledge-based. Knowledge-based IDSs use statistical metrics and monitor packets that correspond to a flow.
Method to protect the secret information of computer programs
Researchers have discovered a method to make computing faster by sharing hardware. A malicious program notices when a system is using shared hardware and can use this information to obtain the secrets it needs to perform its functions. A malicious program could attempt to retrieve the secrets stored in the memory during this time. The researchers devised a way to use the shared hardware to protect computer programs, and keep their secret information secure.
Study of code repetition attacks
Reusing software can reduce cybersecurity incidents, according to the study. Although this study was able to estimate potential vulnerabilities using a proxy, it is not a good indicator of actual security threats. While potential vulnerabilities can provide an indication of security quality and unmet security needs, they don't reflect actual exploitable threats. These findings should be considered as part of the study's conclusions. It might be worthwhile to assess the actual impact of reuse in terms of security and privacy.
Design more effective defenses
A recent article in the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers Security & Privacy magazine discusses research at MIT's Lincoln Laboratory and its importance for cyber security. Hamed Okhravi, senior staff member in Secure Resilient Systems and Technology Group highlights the lab’s research philosophy and goals. In this article, we will discuss how these projects will improve cybersecurity.
FAQ
What is the most recent AI invention
The latest AI invention is called "Deep Learning." Deep learning (a type of machine-learning) is an artificial intelligence technique that uses neural network to perform tasks such image recognition, speech recognition, translation and natural language processing. Google invented it in 2012.
Google's most recent use of deep learning was to create a program that could write its own code. This was accomplished using a neural network named "Google Brain," which was trained with a lot of data from YouTube videos.
This enabled the system to create programs for itself.
IBM announced in 2015 that they had developed a computer program capable creating music. Neural networks are also used in music creation. These are known as NNFM, or "neural music networks".
Which industries use AI the most?
The automotive industry was one of the first to embrace AI. BMW AG employs AI to diagnose problems with cars, Ford Motor Company uses AI develop self-driving automobiles, and General Motors utilizes AI to power autonomous vehicles.
Other AI industries include banking, insurance, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, telecommunications, transportation, and utilities.
How does AI impact work?
It will transform the way that we work. We will be able to automate routine jobs and allow employees the freedom to focus on higher value activities.
It will enhance customer service and allow businesses to offer better products or services.
It will help us predict future trends and potential opportunities.
It will give organizations a competitive edge over their competition.
Companies that fail AI adoption are likely to fall behind.
Is Alexa an Artificial Intelligence?
The answer is yes. But not quite yet.
Amazon developed Alexa, which is a cloud-based voice and messaging service. It allows users interact with devices by speaking.
First, the Echo smart speaker released Alexa technology. Other companies have since used similar technologies to create their own versions.
Some examples include Google Home (Apple's Siri), and Microsoft's Cortana.
What are some examples AI-related applications?
AI is used in many fields, including finance and healthcare, manufacturing, transport, energy, education, law enforcement, defense, and government. These are just a handful of examples.
-
Finance - AI can already detect fraud in banks. AI can identify suspicious activity by scanning millions of transactions daily.
-
Healthcare – AI is used for diagnosing diseases, spotting cancerous cells, as well as recommending treatments.
-
Manufacturing - AI is used in factories to improve efficiency and reduce costs.
-
Transportation - Self driving cars have been successfully tested in California. They are currently being tested all over the world.
-
Energy - AI is being used by utilities to monitor power usage patterns.
-
Education - AI has been used for educational purposes. For example, students can interact with robots via their smartphones.
-
Government - Artificial Intelligence is used by governments to track criminals and terrorists as well as missing persons.
-
Law Enforcement-Ai is being used to assist police investigations. Detectives can search databases containing thousands of hours of CCTV footage.
-
Defense - AI can both be used offensively and defensively. It is possible to hack into enemy computers using AI systems. Artificial intelligence can also be used defensively to protect military bases from cyberattacks.
