Abstract :

In the post-pandemic era, the advancements in cyber security are undergoing massive shifts both in terms of technology and methods. The attackers are becoming more organized and sophisticated and on the other hand people and organizations are relying on Internet and online platforms more than ever. The defensive methods and the people working to develop better security solutions were never prepared for this sudden growth in cyber-attacks. Artificial Intelligence, Data Science and Quantum Computing treatments are being readily used for Cyber Security to quickly identify, respond and counter the advanced cyber-attacks. Recent research on Nature-inspired Cyber Security (NICS) had paved a way for an entirely new way to develop the robust security solutions. The concept of NICS revolves around develop and implementation of an adaptive and more resilient security mechanism which can fundamentally tolerant to malicious activities while catering the incompleteness, uncertainty and fuzziness of information. NICS attempts to build the cyber defense mechanism by applying nature-inspired approaches like camouflaging, deception, disguise and many more. This talk will briefly discuss the role of NICS in the upcoming and future methods of cyber security along with the key decisions to implement intelligent, adaptive and more effective security solutions.
