2 PART 1 – KEY MEASURES FOR IMPROVED CYBER SECURITY 2. PART 1 – Key measures for improved cyber security 2.1. Selected measures that support several of the strategic priorities Measure 1: National technical security measures – a major national security package Cyber attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated. New technologies, increased use of encryption and complex infrastructures all mean that we have to think in new directions in order to maintain our national detection ability. The use of artificial intelligence, machine learning and a high degree of automated processes are becoming critical factors that must be utilised. The “P2950” project is to run over the coming years and has been accorded a considerable budget. As a part of the project, new sensor technology is to be developed for use in measures such as the Early warning system for digital infrastructure (Varslingssystem for digital infrastruktur – VDI). The project is to establish increased technical capacity for introducing artificial intelligence and machine learning. The project is also to establish both classified and unclassified automatic sharing platforms, mobile capacities and dynamic data collection and analysis. Measure 1.1: New sensor for the early warning system for digital infrastructure (VDI) For a period of almost 20 years, the current VDI solution has maintained our capacity to identify targeted cyber attacks without compromising privacy. A larger distribution of VDI sensors among owners of infrastructure and functions critical to society will significantly boost the national detection capacity. It is necessary to develop new sensor technology that is to build on and replace the current VDI sensors. The next generation VDI sensors are to allow the support of classified signatures and indicators. Responsibility: FD and the Norwegian National Security Authority (NSM) Implementation: 2018-2021 Measure 1.2: Next generation detection capacity New national detection capacity is to be developed, which will apply artificial intelligence and machine learning to collected data. The platform that is to be developed will allow automatic malware analysis and automatic sharing of findings.
