Abstract
In this paper we review the key trends related to application of information technology and, in particular, automated data analysis to the problem of protecting critical infrastructure. We focus on technologies that use automated data collection and analyses that can be exploited for improving security provision for critical infrastructure in the future. Of our particular interest are technologies that are at relatively early stage of adaptation and in our judgement have potential to significantly affect how the security is provided in the future, the technologies that support physical aspect of security. Then we discuss analytics in context of cyber-security with applications.
Highlights
In this paper we review the key trends related to application of information technology and, in particular, automated data analysis to the challenge of protecting critical infrastructure
We focus on technologies that use automated data collection and analyses that can be exploited for improving security provision for critical infrastructure in the future
It is likely that the development of analytical tools for cybersecurity will be intensified in the future, as cyber-security is being put in the spot light by industry and governments
Summary
The terrorist attacks in September 2001 have changed the perception of critical infrastructure security These attacks were characterised by sophistication of planning and execution but as well the selection of targets – a diverse set of critical infrastructure buildings that included government, defence and commerce [1]. We focus on technologies that use automated data collection and analyses that can be exploited for improving security provision for critical infrastructure in the future. Data analytics [3] is the process of discovery and communication of meaningful patterns in data typically with use of data-mining techniques [4] It has become a very prominent trend especially in business context (often referred to as business intelligence). We review key classes of technologies that, in our opinion, are becoming prominent for providing security and rely upon or explicitly use analytics
