What does it mean to trust a machine? Availability: It will do what I told it to do, when I told it to do so. Integrity: The result will be as I expect it to be: It will do only what I told it to do, and it’ll never lie to me. Privacy: It is not going to tell it to anyone else If I’m often pre -occupied with those questions- we have a trust issue
So what is the industry doing about it? From Reactive, to Proactive and Predictive From signature-based detection to pattern, ML and Mitigate Prevent anomaly detection From researchers in silos, to intelligence sharing and big- Detect data

The long-term price of loss of trust “The No. 1 reason why people say they are unlikely to buy an autonomous vehicle is that they don't feel that they're safe … many people worry they might be vulnerable to cyberattacks … 64 percent of consumers would not purchase an automated vehicle, and 57 percent wouldn't even consider riding one … The worst case scenario is that a hacker will be able to drive someone off the road . “ Consulting firm Altman Vilandrie 55 percent of the corporate risk managers surveyed view cybersecurity as the biggest problem with driverless vehicles.

The Cyber-Utopia: Some first steps Active-Active Cyber and non-cyber resilience: Can conflict (hot backups) Can be synergetic (Signal fingerprinting)
Key takeaways While the “Cyber Armageddon” of collapsing critical infrastructures is realistically possible, it’s not a black swan. Trust in technology is key for adoption of autonomous systems. While investment in cyber-security keeps growing, cyber breaches around the world are a daily reality. Slowly eroding trust in computers may prohibit adoption of advanced technologies – preventing immense benefits in capital and human lives “make cyber - security small again” - new (and some old) strategies focused on resilience may be the key.
