Computer security for complex and distributed systems
Large
and distributed computer infrastructures face important cyber-security
challenges. They are high value targets for attack due the big amount of
computational power, storage capacity and network resources. These
systems require novel computer security approaches, that employ emerging
technologies such as data mining, machine learning, autonomous
reasoning systems, automatic security hardening among others. Those
technologies can be employed in areas such as distributed intrusion
detection, automatic vulnerability discovery, automatic vulnerability
patching, and in general all the areas that allow the system
administration to have a clear security panorama over the entire
computational infrastructure.
