Week 7 - The Future of Intrusion Detection

With the Internet of Things exploding, the need for intrusion detection grows exponentially as well. As more devices move online, the risk of attack goes up. cyber criminals continue to evolve and develop new ways and techniques, including anti-forensic techniques. Right now, most intrusion detection systems focus on, from the name, detection. However, systems in the future will more than likely detect suspicious events and let the security person decide if an investigation is necessary rather than detect intruders. There will be more forensics teams involved in incidents that are suspected to be intrusions. Also, artificial intelligence algorithms could come into play. Prevention will also be the emphasis in the future. A method that might come in to play more in the future is to obfuscate the attack surface so that the vulnerabilities are not able to be found. This type of defense is referred to as Moving Target Defense. Humans will become more involved in all aspects of cyber security as well. Human analysis will become more important, as well as forensic teams.
