As an innovative cyber security company are we delighted to be part of the “AI.Auto-Immune” research project funded by the German Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space. We are working together with the Technical University of Dresden, HAW Hamburg, and Traversals Analytics & Intelligence GmbH to protect the internet from increasingly complex and AI-supported attacks.

The “AI.Auto-Immune” project is developing an AI-based framework for self-learning detection, evaluation, and defense against future attacks on Internet infrastructures. The goal is to improve the security and efficiency of digital networked systems. Communication data and network flows are analyzed using AI, critical services and vulnerabilities are identified and automatic protective measures are derived to reach this goal. This enables the creation of predictive models and situation reports for corporate networks or critical infrastructures.

Alpha Strike Labs supports the project with a variety of high-quality and practical data sources. These include valid and non-invasive communication data from our long-standing active service discovery. We resorted to a variety of protocols and covering a wide range of protocol types. In addition we provide data from our own company’s sensor network, which continuously observes and analyzes the behavior of Internet scanners. This combination of actively collected and passively recorded data enables a well-founded representation of real communication patterns on the Internet. Our contribution is supplemented by AI-supported configuration methods and technical approaches to dynamic service relocation.

The “AI.Auto-Immune” project is funded by the German government’s research framework program for IT security “Digital. Secure. Sovereign.” in the measure “Secure future technologies in a hyperconnected world: Artificial intelligence” with a total of 3.79 million euros.
