AI and Cyber Security

There are frequent examples in the news of where both individuals and organisations are subjected to cyber-attacks. Individuals, public organisations, and industry are dependent on their digital infrastructures. Protecting these from cyber-attacks and unauthorized access requires methods, technologies and processes that guard the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of computer systems, networks and data.

While cyber security is currently a research topic engaging primarily computer scientists and data specialists to develop secure systems, the human side of digital infrastructures is fundamental to all cyber security. Many of the biggest cyber security threats are fundamentally social, and target humans that are using or running the infrastructures. For example, phishing attacks where humans are lured to divulge information or poor password practices such as putting passwords on notes under keyboards. People are frequently subjected to various kinds of phishing attacks that may deceive people into sharing private information or money, often targeted towards older persons and children. The consequences of attacks and unauthorized access can be profoundly detrimental as society’s digital infrastructures are instrumental to provide healthcare, municipality services, transportation, power supply, and economical transactions. Authorities and healthcare need to manage and protect sensitive, personal information, adhering to regulations governing person data.
