Current Advancements

  • Robust MTD (also via SDN)
  • Active Cyber Defense
  • Automated Network Management
slide-7
SLIDE 7

How can we do better?

  • Machine/Deep Learning
  • The “Cloud”
  • Blockchain
  • Containers and Automation

  • FOCALE (Foundation, Observe, Compare,

Act, Learn, rEason)

slide-14
SLIDE 14

Current Challenges

  • Securing SDN
  • Creating intelligent feedback loops
  • Cool projects don’t last forever (runbook.io)
  • Self-awareness systems
slide-15
SLIDE 15

What does this mean?

slide-16
