Hybrid Intelligence Framework for Improvement of Information Security of Critical Infrastructures

Abstract

Information infrastructures for corporations and governments (information and automated systems, telecommunication networks, and other elements) have dramatically changed in the last decades due to the broad usage of IoT, AI, mobile internet, and other advanced technologies. Protection against cyberattacks requires new solutions that correspond to an increased level of complexity for these infrastructures. Important tasks for these new tools are forecasting cyberattacks, developing and applying preventive protective measures to reduce the risk of information security incidents. For the prediction of cyberattacks and the development of preventive protective measures, the authors propose to use one of the hybrid (or augmented) intelligence (HI) frameworks – evaluation and monitoring of complex processes. The mission of the chapter is to discuss the main issues, challenges, and opportunities related to HI applications for protection against cyberattacks to information infrastructures.
