Practical AI for Cybersecurity

Practical AI for Cybersecurity

The world of cybersecurity and the landscape that it possesses is changing on a dynamic basis. It seems like that hardly one threat vector is launched new variants of it are already on the way. IT Security teams in businesses and corporations are struggling daily to fight off any cyberthreats that they are experiencing. On top of this they are also asked by their CIO or CISO to model what future Cyberattacks could potentially look like and ways as to how the lines of defenses can be further enhanced. IT Security teams are overburdened and are struggling to find ways in order to keep up with what they are being asked to do. Trying to model the cyberthreat landscape is a very laborious process because it takes a lot of time to analyze datasets from many intelligence feeds. What can be done to accomplish this Herculean task? The answer lies in Artificial Intelligence (AI). With AI an IT Security team can model what the future Cyberthreat landscape could potentially look like in just a matter of minutes. As a result this gives valuable time for them not only to fight off the threats that they are facing but to also come up with solutions for the variants that will come out later. Practical AI for Cybersecurity explores the ways and methods as to how AI can be used in cybersecurity with an emphasis upon its subcomponents of machine learning computer vision and neural networks. The book shows how AI can be used to help automate the routine and ordinary tasks that are encountered by both penetration testing and threat hunting teams. The result is that security professionals can spend more time finding and discovering unknown vulnerabilities and weaknesses that their systems are facing as well as be able to come up with solid recommendations as to how the systems can be patched up quickly.

TCP Performance over UMTS-HSDPA Systems

TCP Performance over UMTS-HSDPA Systems

The evolution of the mobile communication market is causing a major increase in data traffic demands. This could lead to disrupted mobility and intermittent degraded channel conditions that contribute to poor transmission control protocol (TCP) performance. TCP Performance over UMTS-HSDPA Systems presents a comprehensive study of the effect of TCP on achieved application bit rate performance and system capacity and shows how to reduce the interaction of wireless networks on TCP with minimal cost. With self-contained chapters the book consists of two main sections. The first several chapters provide background and describe the state of the art for wireless networks emphasizing one of the third-generation (3G) wireless technologies: the universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS). These chapters also include an analysis of the overall cell capacity for UMTS Release 99 and high-speed downlink packet access (HSDPA) systems. The second section focuses on the interaction of TCP with wireless systems presenting an exhaustive list of TCP versions and link layer solutions that adapt TCP (often modifying the original TCP) to a wireless network. This section also displays mathematical modeling of the interaction of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) and TCP in UMTS networks. While offering information for advanced undergraduate students who are unfamiliar with code division multiple access (CDMA) wireless systems as well as UMTS and HSDPA cellular systems the book also provides extensive coverage of TCP over wireless systems problems and solutions for researchers developers and graduate students.

Business Strategies for the Next-Generation Network

Business Strategies for the Next-Generation Network

Carriers and service providers have united around the concept of the Next-Generation Network (NGN). Although leveraging a broad basket of Internet technologies the NGN is not being planned as the next-generation Internet. In its intention and architecture it is more accurately described as Broadband-ISDN release 2. 0. The NGN transition is hard for both practitioners and observers to understand because it weaves together a number of distinct strands: the development of a new architecture and technology base including advanced IT automation systems the development of a portfolio of ‘new wave’ products and services which exploits the power of the new network the design of a new kind of organization which can utilize the higher levels of automation in the NGN and reduce costs and the development of an effective transition plan which can smoothly move operators from their current legacy networks systems and processes to the NGN future. The book begins with a review of the failures of previous attempts by carriers to retool for the future. It describes in detail the technologies and capabilities supporting “new wave’” services focusing particularly on multimedia interactive services TV and Video-on-Demand. The author looks at the IMS layer and how it interworks both downwards into the QoS-enabled IP transport layer and upwards to enable new kinds of applications. However equal attention is addressed to the business models of players in the value chain carriers service providers broadcasters and production companies. The author then examines how carriers have attempted to remodel themselves as IP companies along the dimensions of people processes and IT automation systems describing the lessons to be learned from numerous failures.
