[QUOTE="vtqhtr413, post: 772277, member: 65229"] OUR DIGITAL SOCIETY thrives on the successes of science and technology. Connected devices and the information that flows through them are everywhere. Megatrends, like the accelerated pace of innovation and rapid urbanization, will transform our economies and culture. But technological progress is not reserved for the good guys. Digital dependency on a shared infrastructure invites the bad guys in as well. Boris Balacheff, Chief Technologist for Security Research and Innovation at HP, describes the challenge: “The more machines, the more critical our cyber-security problem becomes. Increased attacker sophistication means devices are now attacked at the deepest levels, including firmware and embedded software. In this new threat landscape, we cannot just rely on manual human intervention. We have to change the paradigm.” For Balacheff and many other experts, this means mapping out a smarter security game plan for the age of distributed devices. Traditional perimeter and software-centric endpoint security will not suffice. Their first line of defense: “self-healing” capabilities at the machine hardware level; not only to detect when they’re under attack but also to shut off and restore the system to a clean working state without human intervention. The response must be quick, as breaches can now have massive economic, social and geopolitical ramifications.
