Defence Belongs to Humans | Marco Ramilli | TEDxMilano


[Applause]
each of us lives immersed in his own
reality and every reality is different
from each other but all these
they have in common
the environment on which they are created
the environment where we live living in
this environment and we create ours
reality here we can not anymore
talk like a few years ago
unique environment but today we talk about a
hybrid environment one in an environment that is
divided between what has physical
the physical environment is where we move
where we breathe where we feed is
instead of the virtual environment the environment
where we read where we communicate where
we learn and then change the environment
in which, why not, we also desire
look at what a beautiful photograph
I would really like to be there
that environment in that place and it’s a lot
curious at least according to my personal
of the point of view to notice that we are
physical beings we are born physically but
the moment we are physically born
we are immediately inserted into an environment that
it’s hybrid, maybe we’ll see ours
parents and our acquaintances to dialogue
among them with other objects with
objects that today are called smart phones
or we still see systems totally
automatic that talk to each other
they talk maybe to monitor the
our state and is an environment that does not
there has been given is an environment that is
we create ourselves and this virtual environment
we create it so well day after day
they want a lot to each one
phone call we do with every text message
we send to each like that we put and it is
a system an environment that has been
created however without a project
let’s try thinking in the physical
in the physical environment a human being
to the need to have a home and
so what it does is a project
how many bathrooms how many bedrooms
if the garden or the balcony
in the virtual environment instead
this project has never been there
you are always and always questions
much and answers to some questions
very heterogeneous but not managed and created
from a single project
that’s why today this environment is
deeply still unexplored and
unexplored and unfortunately very insecure
because it is very insecure because
just as we said that is missing
project and we see it every day
when for example we see our daughter
run from the mother rather than run
to hug a monitor or even when
in the moment of need, perhaps because
our son is afraid of the dark
he runs to get the smartphone that
it could also be used as
torch but contrarily runs to
embrace the mother or in the case that
lucky father and and this is this
moment that personally moved me and
he taught me and asked me to
devote part of my great life
part of my defense life
yes, because in the physical world
there are people methodologies tools
who defend us day after day but
in the virtual environment this is not yet
It’s that simple
it is not yet so obvious there are not
People still are not there yet
tools, processes and real methodologies
to defend ourselves, however, to think for example
who of us will need one
peacemaker peace makers today are
totally connected there is no chance not
we can choose a peacemaker dialogue
through our smartphone col
center of expertise and this is good
a fantastic because at the moment
I needed an intervention on the
our peacemaker will communicate
directly to the center of competence
at the hospital that there is something that does not
it goes
or even better when
let’s go to our doctor you can do it
a quick screening
without necessarily making us who knows
what types of exams is why
this interface in the virtual if not
used in a conscious way creates
of problems for example in 2010 a
group of US researchers have
identified that some devices of
some manufacturers and US companies
they were vulnerable to action
so what does that mean?
attacker could comfortably with the
own smartphone remotely
ok bluetooth we are talking about then
a few tens of meters, however, could
reprogram our peacemaker now
without going into too drastic cases
the attacker had the chance to
change the most agitated state of mind
or calmer than the person of the
victim
here’s how a a the interface in the
virtual can have a serious one serious
consequence also in our real
or let’s try to think of ours
current accounts we always have wallets
smaller is always lighter but
current accounts with more and more numbers
let’s try to think about how much it is
this is fantastic because we can
check transactions and transactions
banking are also cheaper and
we simply manage with one
smartphone to pay for our goods
but what can happen if a
attacker for example with gods
very known attacks to date of type
drivex and manage to set up a
malware inside our browser
to collect username and password
now if our bank has not developed
it has no other types of authentication
this is obvious that it can have a serious one
reflected on our real since
the attacker could somehow
to raise money from our account
current or again we try to think of one
even more fantastic thing more beautiful
that are new and always connected cars
a connected and fantastic car because there
can give the possibility to call
help in times of need can
decide according to my state of
guide to the weather status and has it only
for example , summer
can you suggest me to make a road
rather than another in 2014
some researchers have identified
alas that extrapolating the sim card that
is present within these
cars and always connected was
possible from the comfortable sofa at home
enter the same network of all
these machines and exploiting some
vulnerabilities have managed to enter
in the car’s entertainment center
and then with a couple of attacks
slightly more complex have succeeded
to execute cannes code
inside the machine
meaning it was is that they had the
control total control
so they could from
remote host the victim the hostage
owner of the house of the
of the car inside
of the car and maybe ask for a
redemption in bitcoins to release
or they could lower or eliminate i
headlights the lights in a nighttime run or
change the engine mapping o
eliminate abs to color another
another example of how the interface
of the virtual has a lot of implications
important in the real
let’s try to think about them again
domestic objects
those of us do not have a lighting system
controlled remotely or web systems
that control the production status
of your home or a system
for example of video surveillance
alarm is an attacker could
use these tools to understand
if inside the apple house
the person is not attacked and then
have an action perform an action
in the body or again and then I promise you
this is the last one another example is
in personal identity we try to
think for a moment if politicians or
the idea of ​​big companies is big
they spontaneously start communicating
through social and therefore through
for example twitter facebook
let’s try now to imagine it is clear that
the perception that one has is anyway
the power of communication is really
high but try to imagine one
an attacker who succeeds in some way
is to take possession of a channel of
communication of this nature of a per
political example and carries out in place of
that person a communication I’m not
thinking about war scenarios but also
legislative communications what it can
happen for the entire population
what can happen in whole or in groups
political for example there is that there
inside of
here is all this born because to date
there is greatness there is great perception
of the protection we trust today
what’s happening and that
that protects us within the virtual
in this case the cyclist is taking over
that that lock will never come
cut and then say I trust it
so much of this lock that me
they leave because so much in the period of
time that I stay away from this
padlock there will be no one who has the
possibility to cut it and take me away
the bicycle in the digital this not
it works does not work because the
virtual the digital environment is up to the
time and break the space what
it means that it is an attack can be
not necessarily done in the same
time period or whoever attacks
it can be physically from another
part
respect instead to who has the victim here
so why do we have to think with
another mentality a lot mentality
more complex than defense
to defend oneself means to understand means
be sure that sooner or later someone will
will break that object to be sure that
comes an attack capable of going to
good end and you have to understand what it like
then answer what the methods are
what are the tools to use
what are the methodologies and people i
groups the communications as it is
it must be done when an attack arrives
and the main solution to date is
in the collaboration and it is evident
that a human being inside the
virtual or digital does not have the
ability alone to be able to block
all the attacks that are there
it is also evident, however, that neither
totally automatic systems and
they manage to block identify all the
problems that are there and we see it
on all the newspapers but the collaboration
the union between man and machine has one
human mind capable of perceiving i
whispers able to perceive those
small noises that make the attack
effective and a machine a system one
information informative system
computerized a system that has the
possibility to act in a manner
timely collaboration today between
man and machine is the real answer
of the defense because because the machines
they are much stronger than we are very much
we have no chance faster than us
on the computational force of the
machines are also those machines
artificially intelligent are a lot
very good at making a pocket to give
The answers are punctual answers
really fast and performing to do
everything
between cross correlation and individuation
great noise but let’s remember one
what and let’s remember it a lot
strong
and let’s remember he has in a very precise way
we are only human beings capable of
ask the right questions in the moment
quite right
thank you
