advancing cybersecurity through science
AI and Cybersecurity develops methods to protect critical AI algorithms and systems from accidental and intentional degradation and failure.
Trusted Systems involve level-based security where protection is provided and handled according to different levels.
Defense mechanisms can be categorized into groups such as Authentication and Encryption, Malware and Intrusion Detection, and Software Vulnerability.
The National Security Agency Research Directorate sponsors the Science of Security Initiative to promote foundational cybersecurity science that is needed to mature the cybersecurity discipline and to underpin advances in cyberdefense. The SoS initiative works in several ways. 1. Engage the academic community for foundational research, 2. Promote rigorous scientific principles, and 3. grow the SoS community. The SoS Virtual Organization is the SoS’s initiative online home.
