商品描述

This book offers a structured overview and a comprehensive guide to the emerging field of Autonomous Intelligent Cyber Defense Agents (AICA). The book discusses the current technical issues in autonomous cyber defense and offers information on practical design approaches. The material is presented in a way that is accessible to non-specialists, with tutorial information provided in the initial chapters and as needed throughout the book. The reader is provided with clear and comprehensive background and reference material for each aspect of AICA.

Today's cyber defense tools are mostly watchers. They are not active doers. They do little to plan and execute responses to attacks, and they don't plan and execute recovery activities. Response and recovery - core elements of cyber resilience - are left to human cyber analysts, incident responders and system administrators. This is about to change. The authors advocate this vision, provide detailed guide to how such a vision can be realized in practice, and its current state of the art.

This book also covers key topics relevant to the field, including functional requirements and alternative architectures of AICA, how it perceives and understands threats and the overall situation, how it plans and executes response and recovery, how it survives threats, and how human operators deploy and control AICA. Additionally, this book covers issues of testing, risk, and policy pertinent to AICA, and provides a roadmap towards future R&D in this field.

This book targets researchers and advanced students in the field of cyber defense and resilience. Professionals working in this field as well as developers of practical products for cyber autonomy will also want to purchase this book.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書提供了對新興領域自動智能網路防禦代理(Autonomous Intelligent Cyber Defense Agents, AICA)的結構化概述和全面指南。書中討論了自動網路防禦中的當前技術問題,並提供了實用設計方法的資訊。材料以易於非專業人士理解的方式呈現,初始章節和全書中根據需要提供了教學資訊。讀者將獲得有關AICA各個方面的清晰且全面的背景和參考資料。

當前的網路防禦工具大多是監視者。它們不是主動的執行者。它們對於計劃和執行對攻擊的回應幾乎沒有作用,也不會計劃和執行恢復活動。回應和恢復——網路韌性的核心要素——仍然依賴於人類的網路分析師、事件回應者和系統管理員。這種情況即將改變。作者倡導這一願景,提供了如何在實踐中實現該願景的詳細指南,以及其當前的技術狀態。

本書還涵蓋了與該領域相關的關鍵主題,包括AICA的功能需求和替代架構、它如何感知和理解威脅及整體情況、它如何計劃和執行回應與恢復、它如何抵禦威脅,以及人類操作員如何部署和控制AICA。此外,本書還探討了與AICA相關的測試、風險和政策問題,並提供了未來該領域研究與開發的路線圖。

本書的目標讀者是網路防禦和韌性領域的研究人員和高級學生。在該領域工作的專業人士以及開發網路自主實用產品的開發者也會希望購買本書。

作者簡介

Dr. Alexander Kott serves as the Chief Scientist of the U.S. Combat Capabilities Development Command Army Research Laboratory. In this role he provides leadership in development of ARL technical strategy, maintaining technical quality of ARL research, and representing ARL to the external technical community. Dr. Kott is also the Army Senior Research Scientist (ST) for Cyber Resilience, in which capacity he formulates the vision of future technologies critical to the Army cyber resilience, and advocates and shapes plans and programs leading to such technologies. Prior to becoming the Chief Scientist of ARL, Dr. Kott was the Chief of the Network Science Division at ARL, leading a division focused on innovative basic and applied research, threat analysis, technology transition and security operations in computer, communications, information, and social networks; formulating and executing a broad range of internal and extramural research programs. Earlier, Dr. Kott served as a Program Manager at Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), where he was responsible for management of multiple, large-scale R&D projects. Kott's earlier positions included Director of Research and Development at Carnegie Group, Pittsburgh, PA. There, his work focused on novel information technology approaches, such as Artificial Intelligence, to complex problems in engineering design, and planning and control in manufacturing, telecommunications and aviation industries. Dr. Kott earned his PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA, in 1989, where he researched AI approaches to invention of complex systems. He received the Secretary of Defense Exceptional Public Service Award, in October 2008. He published over 100 technical papers and served as the co-author and editor of twelve books.

作者簡介(中文翻譯)

亞歷山大·科特博士(Dr. Alexander Kott)擔任美國作戰能力發展指揮部陸軍研究實驗室的首席科學家。在這個角色中,他負責領導ARL的技術策略發展,維持ARL研究的技術品質,並代表ARL與外部技術社群進行交流。科特博士同時也是陸軍的資深研究科學家(ST),專注於網絡韌性,負責制定對陸軍網絡韌性至關重要的未來技術願景,並倡導和塑造導向這些技術的計劃和項目。在成為ARL的首席科學家之前,科特博士曾擔任ARL網絡科學部的主任,領導一個專注於創新基礎和應用研究、威脅分析、技術轉移及計算機、通信、信息和社交網絡安全操作的部門;制定和執行各種內部和外部的研究計劃。更早之前,科特博士曾在國防高級研究計劃局(DARPA)擔任項目經理,負責多個大型研發項目的管理。科特博士的早期職位包括賓夕法尼亞州匹茲堡的卡內基集團(Carnegie Group)研究與開發主任。在那裡,他的工作專注於利用人工智慧等新穎信息技術方法解決工程設計中的複雜問題,以及製造、電信和航空業的規劃與控制。科特博士於1989年在匹茲堡大學獲得機械工程博士學位,研究主題為人工智慧在複雜系統發明中的應用。他於2008年10月獲得國防部長卓越公共服務獎,並發表了超過100篇技術論文,擔任十二本書的合著者和編輯。
