In a new paradigm of security, Intel has developed security software that monitors and adjusts to the way an individual uses the Internet, providing a new dynamic approach to detecting attacks and malicious activity that helps reduce false positives or missing some security breaches. The software is aimed at corporations that distribute laptops and mobile devices to employees, since IT departments typically install the same one-size-fits-all security software on all their hardware which is not very effecient.
Implications - The Proteus project has researchers developing several algorithms that can monitor a person's Internet use and create personalized traffic thresholds based on the gathered information.
What's Driving This Trend
- Dynamic Security Software
- The development of software that monitors and adjusts to an individual's Internet usage provides a dynamic approach to detecting security breaches.
- Personalized Traffic Thresholds
- The creation of algorithms that monitor a person's Internet use and establish personalized traffic thresholds opens up opportunities for more effective security measures.
- Individualized Security Solutions
- The shift towards individualized security solutions for corporations distributing laptops and mobile devices to employees provides more efficient protection against cyber attacks.
Who This Affects Most
- Cybersecurity
- The cybersecurity industry can benefit from the development of dynamic security software and personalized traffic thresholds to enhance protection against cyber threats.
- Information Technology
- The Information Technology industry can explore opportunities to provide individualized security solutions for corporations, improving efficiency and reducing security risks.
- Corporate Device Distribution
- The industry involved in distributing laptops and mobile devices to employees can adopt individualized security solutions to ensure better protection of company assets and data.
