Tutorial II: Network Security

Abstract

The field of computer and network security is an aggressive challenging and growing filed in its academic, research and industrial aspects. Attacks and breaches are increasing rapidly as the attack surface of the Internet has exploded with the IoT technologies and connected devices. Enormous data feeds on ultra-high-speed backbone and access networks has to be analyzed to detect very dangerous and intelligent attacks. In this talk, we emphasize on the problem size of securing digital resources. The challenges of modern security practices are detailed. Finally, the recent trends in Artificial Intelligence based systems for networks security are presented. Intelligent traffic analysis is detailed and machine learning role in security is presented. New trends and directions of research are overviewed.
