IEEE Program 'Cyber Security for Next Generation Connectivity Systems'

Based on a variety of discussions with customers, regulators, and academics, and based on observations, there is a growing need to evaluate and rethink architectures that enhance Cyber Security in digital systems. Given the fast pace with which digital technologies are becoming central to the human daily experience and with the advent of new technologies, it is imperative that the data and the digital infrastructure is protected, no matter where it resides. We must plan and prepare for the future of cyber security while managing current security requirements. Industry professionals (international) under the auspices of IEEE SA are investigating in three areas, with the goal of invoking new thinking and architectures. Area 1: Consider the principles and the ground realities of human centricity (data control), decentralization in identifiers, distribution in data processing, heterogeneity in controls, and self-healing. Area 2: Explore cyber security needs for special use cases (such as IoT, desktops, edge, Artificial Intelligence, etc.), with a focus on Artificial Intelligence and its needs for cyber security. Area 3: Explore the effect of new and upcoming areas such as quantum computing on the current level of cyber security and on the new cyber security architecture. The objective is to build new guidance, standards, and technologies if current efforts fall short.
