TOPIC Securing the Internet Cloud: Challenges and Opportunities
DESCRIPTION Threats to the availability and security of the Internet have
undergone a rapid and dramatic evolution over the past few
years. Spurred by financial gains or political motives,
attackers have become proficient at hiding themselves using
compromised hosts as proxies and amplifying the power of
their attacks using distributed software. The result is vast
numbers of compromised computers, or bots, enabling a rapid
increase in spam, phishing and identity theft. These
challenges illustrate how we are at the limits of existing
detection and mitigation technologies. This presentation
discusses the changing Internet ecology and the evolution of
zero-day threats. It will also introduce a new security model
for networked environments based on the concept of shifting
security services into the network cloud. This framework is
inspired by successful detection and mitigation solutions in
service provider environments.
