Poster: Cognitive Cyber – Dynamic, Adaptive Cyber Defense Systems for Massively Distributed, Autonomous, and Ad-hoc Computing Environments

Abstract

The unprecedented scale, speed, and scope of interconnectivity, ranging from the microsensors on the edge to the global networks, will be the prominent characteristics of the emerging computing environments. Our current cyber defense methods, designed for the computing environments we know, will be mainly rendered inadequate for these future environments. To meet the emerging cyber defense demands, we need a new approach. The poster presents our early work on the cognitive cyber concept, which attempts to meet some of these emerging challenges by promoting dynamic, adaptive, and largely autonomous defenses in dynamic networks and edge computing environments.
