A practical solution to improve cyber security on a global scale

This paper introduces a technical, social and ethical organization freely sharing cyber attack vectors in the spirit of global co-operation crossing geo-political borders by deploying active monitoring. More importantly it introduces a radically new and better suited workforce to identify past, present and future cyber threats by better “big data” analytics. Current tools and techniques lag behind the cyber attacks and cannot be automated as the attackers are humans and can circumvent controls. The problem is that security tasks are difficult and complex. We lose focus and don't see the patterns that we should and few, if any, current staff like this manual work. securITism delivers a globally unique solution to this problem by using local high-functioning autistic (Asperger's Syndrome) graduates to actively monitor networks and flows. They are selected for the fact that they have strong 3D visualization; pattern recognition; long term memory; sense of logic; and thinking outside the box. The vision for this solution came from research, design, development and deployment of electronics, operating systems and resilient network security technologies spanning almost three decades. Armed with the knowledge down to component/kernel levels and having to think like a hacker, it is completely feasible that a single person can potentially cause catastrophic failure to virtually any critical infrastructure.
