Automation solutions that build Indiana's manufacturing future - Southwest Indiana Chamber

February 15, 2022 Sam Langrock

Few topics spark conversation like security automation. Automation is the entire premise around programming; routines and repetitive patterns are tasked to computers while humans work only on higher priorities. For security practitioners, this is essential because even a small network can have thousands of endpoints that need protecting while the security staff is miniscule. Yet the challenge facing organizations in 2022 is how to automate, not just the collation and data collection tasks where machines excel, but to automate the repetitive human decisions made daily to defend an enterprise.

Join us for a three part blog series on automation and for a webinar on February 22nd titled, Fight Ransomware Robots With Automation Intelligence.

The global pandemic uprooted stagnant business conventions and relationships. Long standing policies around working from home were rewritten or scrapped completely; and a new reality emerged that work got brought home, home became work, and security boundaries were thrown away in light of business necessities.

Threat actors took notice. Ransomware gangs soared into the new home-work merger and wreaked havoc. IT security staff were left caught between the tsunami of attacks and new stresses of working from home while securing remotely connected systems. Already frazzled by years of underfunding and constraints, the levee broke. Burnout quickly turned into lost productivity and perpetual turnover as IT security personnel were not immune to the Great Resignation of 2021.

Todays security leaders face a dual challenge. On one hand they need to defend their networks from ever-increasing threats. On the other they need to hold onto their talent in the tightest employment market most have ever seen. Many executives are pinning their hopes on automation to tackle both challenges at once. Automation has a significant ethereal benefit to security programs combating burnout. Focusing on this human element can help prioritize what to automate, how to invest, and where intelligence can help you.

Automation frees up security analysts stuck working on phishing and leaked credentials, allowing them to add greater value to the organization while escaping the endless burnout and turnover plaguing many organizations.

Automating detection for initial access enables analysts to hunt for more evasive malware, like access brokers leveraging Trickbot or actors like FIN7, the group behind Darkside and Blackmatter ransomware. However, this initial access automation requires fast, high fidelity intelligence in order to function well.

Ultimately, the market for security automation-specific tools seemed aligned to be consumed by the ever-growing SIEM market. Some evidence towards this fate was provided by the acquisitions of Phantom and Demisto, two of the market leaders in SOAR technologies, in 2018 and 2019 respectively. And maybe that would have been the end for the fever-dream of security automation if it werent for the one-two punch security teams and the world never saw coming.

Join us for a webinar on February 22nd titled, Fight Ransomware Robots With Automation Intelligence to learn more about how automation can assist your organization.

Arm has introduced a design for an automotive image signal processor to enhance driver assistance and automation technologies.

The Arm Mali-C78AE image signal processor (ISP) is part of Arms AE line of safety-capable intellectual property suitable for advanced drivers assistance systems (ADAS) and human vision applications. Its the first product announcement since Nvidia called off the $80 billion acquisition of Arm last week.

The first licensee for the tech is Intels Mobileye, which is licenses the Mali-C78AE and the next-generation EyeQ technology.

ADAS tech has grown from a premium vehicle feature to a capability consumers now expect as standard in new vehicles, as the systems have helped with driver safety. In parallel, the global chip shortage is making it clear to the automotive industry the criticality of silicon and electronics to the development and competitive positioning of its products.

Drivers increasingly depend on ADAS applications such as collision avoidance, lane departure warnings and automated emergency braking, and vehicles increasingly rely on cameras positioned around the car to enable many of these features.

According to a recent report from Strategy Analytics, the value of the automotive camera market is expected to grow to greater than 19% from 2020 to 2025, making it the most important sensor type in providing data needed for the vehicle to make decisions about its surroundings.

As the number and sophistication of vehicle cameras increases, so does the compute power needed to translate the high throughput of image data efficiently and safely into outputs that meet the varying requirements for machine and human vision, Arm said.

To enable new capabilities in ADAS and autonomous driving, the industry will need a new approach to image processing, and to address this, Arm added the Mali-C78AE ISP to its portfolio of IP specifically developed to meet the performance and safety needs of automotive applications.

ADAS features use multiple cameras to enable a variety of human and machine vision applications. For example, surround view systems use data from cameras around the vehicle to visually display to the driver information to help them make decisions while parking.

Adaptive cruise control, on the other hand, directly uses camera data to interpret the environment and make decisions independent of the driver about vehicle control, such as applying the throttle or brake. Mali-C78AE is designed specifically to address both human and machine vision safety applications, and is able to process data from up to fourreal-time or 16 virtual cameras.

We know safety is paramount in ADAS, and I have spoken about this previously a fault or failure in operation of an ADAS system could be dangerous, threatening the wellbeing of the driver, passengers, and other road users, said Chet Babla, vice president of auto at Arm, in a blog post. Mali-C78AE was developed from the ground up with hardware safety mechanisms and diagnostic software features enabling system designers to meet ISO 26262 ASIL B functional safety requirements.

He said Mali-C78AE aims to prevent or detect faults in a single camera frame that may result in incorrectly processed frame data. To do this, the ISP features over 380 fault detection circuits, continuous built in self-test, and can detect sensor and hardware faults of connected cameras.

It should take 150 milliseconds to acquire an image at the sensor, process it through the ISP then GPU, and display it on a screen for the driver; anything longer is noticeable to the driver when using parking assist, for example. In a machine vision application, a vehicle should not travel more than 250 millimeters between a camera image being acquired and it being presented to the decision-making processing and anything longer means the machine vision system is too slow to react in driving situations where accurate and timely decisions are critical.

To enable drivers and machines to make the best-possible decision, ADAS cameras must collect the most relevant information possible from each frame. Mali-C78AE employs advanced noise reduction technology and dynamic range management to ensure each frame is clear and properly exposed by adjusting overly dark or bright areas of a frame.

Mali-C78AE is able to perform real-time processing of camera data from up to four high-resolution-high-frame rate cameras, significantly reducing the memory, communications, and processing requirements, making for a more efficient system.

To reduce the cost of implementing multiple ADAS functions, Mali-C78AE enables camera sensors to be dual-purpose by downscaling and color-translating the outputs of sensors optimized for machine vision to create images adapted to the human eye.

By avoiding duplication in cameras and their associated electronics and wiring, car makers save on cost and complexity and therefore, enable wider deployment of camera-based ADAS features across a diverse range of car models providing a safer, better user experience for drivers.

Theres been an unstoppable rush to digitally transform everything in sight, but few questions as to whether something really can benefit from all that shiny new and expensive technology. There are many mainframes still doing their jobs just fine, thank you; and sometimes simple manual processes make more sense than buggy software.

We all know digital transformation is no walk in the park. It relies on many moving parts, and slippage in any one of those parts means a digital solution that is slower and more complicated an incomplete or hackneyed approach can result.

Thats one of the insights from the latest work by Thomas Erl, CEO of Arcitura Education, and co-author Roger Stoffers, enterprise architect for de Volksbank, who outline the potential risks that must be weighed before a lot of time and resources are invested. In A Field Guide to Digital Transformation, Erl and Stoffers urge executives and managers to think and think hard before they transform. The culture may not be conducive, data may not be ready, people may not be ready to collaborate as they need to.

Here are some of the risks they have seen arising in the rush to transform:

Risk of over-automation. This is an interesting risk we dont hear about enough. The quality or maturity of the data itself may not yet be sufficient to warrant replacing manual tasks, Erl and Stoffers state. This is a case where the automation of certain tasks may need to be delayed until the necessary input data is assessed and considered ready. The organization itself may have not reached a sufficient level of maturity to establish some forms of automation on a broader scale. Perhaps the necessary levels of collaboration have not yet been achieved to create the required level of organizational alignment, or perhaps there is too much resistance to the digital culture. Recovering from an over-automation can be painful as it may require reversing recent changes to workflow, human worker allocation and digital transformation solution logic.

How to reduce this risk: Carefully assess, in advance, each new automation opportunity, the co-authors recommend The introduction of new technology needs to be carefully planned and phased in as part of the greater digital transformation initiative.

Resistance to digital culture. The nature and structure of the organization will change as digitization grows and people may not be ready for it. Worse yet, people at the top may not be ready for it. Groups and departments that previously did not need to communicate often may now need to collaborate on a regular basis, Erl and Stoffers state. Departments that had full authority over their respective business domains may now lose or need to share that authority. Employees that previously performed manual tasks may be replaced with new automation technology capable of performing those tasks faster and at a lower cost.

How to reduce this risk: Quality leadership can provide pre-emptive efforts, along with new organizational models, to help mitigate resistance and help foster greater support for digital transformation. Management can ensure that the organization is transformed with the most positive outcomes for both the business ad the human workers.

Difficult to govern. Cultural issues may inhibit digital growth, and a related risk is ineffective governance of technology, data, and processes. The potential governance scope of a digital transformation effort can be unpredictable and daunting and will go beyond IT, Erl and Stoffers state. Digital transformation can introduce some far-reaching impacts to both business and IT that need to be tracked, assessed and regulated. The merging of existing business processes and models and the introduction of new products and services need to be carefully orchestrated and evolved to ensure they fulfill expectations. The new forms of cross-silo collaborations that may be required can lead to different ways of budgeting and staffing projects, as well as new assessment criteria and processes.

How to reduce this risk: A governance team comprised of both business and IT professionals needs to be given the responsibility of overseeing and regulating a digital transformation initiative. This team may require significant resources and training to be fully prepared to govern the different lifecycle stages of many inter0related projects.

Poor data quality and data bias. In digital transformation, data is everything. But, as has been the case for decades, organizations still struggle with data quality, timeliness and accuracy. If the quality of the data is poor or subpar, it can lead to misleading analysis results or missed opportunities to discover new insights.

How to reduce this risk: This challenge is mitigated by ensuring that data scientists working with the data have the necessary skills and proficiency to identify and filter out the bad data. Sound quality assurance practices are also necessary.

Increased quantity of vulnerable digital data. As operations and business assets go digital, so does the possibility of the data walking out the door. This can expose significantly greater amounts of an organizations business data to the outside world.

How to reduce this risk: Cybersecurity technologies and practices provide increased protection for organizations with a large online presence. Some cybersecurity systems use data science technologies to more effectively profile attackers and counter malicious activity.
