How can cybersecurity be improved with better software?<\/p>\n
Let’s start with the experts who have the task of spotting something going on which shouldn’t be – running corporate or government systems.<\/p>\n
Setting a key performance indicator – known attacks per day, percent of attacks known to be succesful – is a start, but not very helpful.<\/p>\n
This is a task where experience is enormously helpful – peple know what to look for, what the patterns are, what to see.<\/p>\n
Ideally you’d have a knowledge base of people’s experiences with different attacks, how it was done, how it was spotted.<\/p>\n
Then you could build software which would automatically scan for suspicious activity as described and flag it up.<\/p>\n
This would be a lot of building software, adapting software, gathering stories about people’s experiences, showing the right experience at the right time, continually building a knowledge base which connects and indexes to the scanning and detecting.<\/p>\n
That’s not how this software is usually built, I think!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
