Digital Immune System (DIS) is an AI and Machine Learning designed to work as part of a cyber defense system based on the operation of the “Immune system”. This helps the related systems and networks verify the information and digital signal that pass through the system.
Joachim Herschmann, senior director analyst at Gartner said that “If cyber surveillance is implemented only when technical problems arise, the administrators may not be able to respond or resolve problems timely, resulting in high risks to the business.”
Using the digital immune system as a cyber surveillance mechanism can prevent technical problems without reducing system performance. Therefore, it is a good solution for risk managament in the cyber world.
Digital Immune System is composed of the following 6 elements:
1. Observability
It enables the visualization of the necessary information in software and systems so that you can check and track the status continuously.
2. AI-Augmented Testing
This is a software testing which can be done independently without human intervention. It is an automated test which complements and extends traditional software testing (Manual testing) by providing fully automated planning, creation, maintenance, and analysis of test results.
3. Chaos Engineering
This is an experimental testing to discover vulnerabilities and weaknesses in a system. The goal is to ensure that the system is resilient enough before deploying it to the production environment.
4. Autoremediation
This provides monitoring capabilities and automatically fixes problems when it detects them and returns to normal operation without requiring the involvement of operation staff.
5. Site Reliability Engineering
It is a practice used to maintain IT infrastructure. It requires a balance of speed, stability, and risk to enhance your services and improve the user experience.
6. Apps Supply Chain Security
It is to address the potential risks throughout the software supply chain. The whole supply chain must be transparent, secure, and verifiable.
Conclusion
Selecting testing technology before deploying the systems to the production environment is like vaccination to build immunity. It can reduce the risk to the systems. For example, before developing the system, American Airlines uses AR technology to simulate different user journeys so that they can see customer behavior in advance. It can reduce risks and provide a good user experience for customers.
In addition, in case any error occurs in the system, if you have a good digital immune system, you can quickly recover the application or your business services, so your business can run smoothly.
