Cyber-attacks continue to evolve in scale and sophistication, posing significant challenges to the security of modern networked systems. This talk will present a review of recent advances in cyber-attack detection using machine learning and deep learning, highlighting both their strengths and limitations. I will discuss my recent research contributions on integrating forecasting, anomaly detection, explainable AI, and large language models (LLMs) to build intelligent and autonomous mitigation strategies. The talk will conclude with future research directions for next-generation cyber defense, emphasizing the role of explainability, privacy-preserving methods, and adaptive response mechanisms.

paraDOXTM Architecture: a photonic network packet switch for massive radix interconnectivity Abstract: As the world continues to advance the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence, its networks are straining the limits of interconnectivity and power consumption. The rapidly increasing need for larger switches, lower latency at higher data rates while also slowing the rate of power consumption appear to be the only path forward for the future growth of AI. However, we are stuck in a decade's old paradigm of shrinking transistor sizes with more dense microchips, operating ever faster with each node improvement. This in turn requires more circuitry and more power to maintain the fidelity of the electrical signaling, but where all the "intelligence" is concentrated down into a chip no bigger than a postage stamp, with the added uncertainty of just how small a transistor can get before physics or cost finally ends that progression. Axonal Networks proposes a new way to interconnect the network through the development of paraDOX - the parallel Digital Optical Cross (X) Connect architecture. Unlike circuit-switching concepts, paraDOX uses a new way to build an Ethernet Packet Switch while being able to scale to thousands of ports. paraDOX is a truly distributed system that scales almost linearly in terms of resources, while also eliminating the need for optical transceivers by making the light part of the digital logic itself. This talk will outline, at a high level, the general architecture along with the proposed advancement of distributed logic structures that are being developed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Architecture paraDOXMC : un commutateur de paquets réseau photonique pour une interconnectivité massive de radix Résumé: Alors que le monde continue de développer les capacités de l'intelligence artificielle, ses réseaux repoussent les limites de l'interconnectivité et de la consommation énergétique. Le besoin croissant de commutateurs plus grands, d'une latence plus faible à des débits de données plus élevés et d'une consommation énergétique plus faible semble être la seule voie d'avenir pour la croissance future de l'IA. Cependant, nous restons coincés dans un paradigme vieux de dix ans : la réduction de la taille des transistors au profit de puces plus denses, fonctionnant toujours plus vite à chaque amélioration de nœud. Cela nécessite plus de circuits et de puissance pour maintenir la fidélité de la signalisation électrique, mais toute l'« intelligence » est concentrée dans une puce pas plus grande qu'un timbre-poste, avec l'incertitude supplémentaire quant à la taille maximale d'un transistor avant que la physique ou le coût ne mettent fin à cette progression. Axonal Networks propose une nouvelle façon d'interconnecter le réseau grâce au développement de paraDOX : l'architecture parallèle Digital Optical Cross (X) Connect. Contrairement aux concepts de commutation de circuits, paraDOX utilise une nouvelle méthode de construction d'un commutateur de paquets Ethernet tout en permettant une évolutivité jusqu'à des milliers de ports. paraDOX est un système véritablement distribué dont l'évolutivité des ressources est quasi linéaire, tout en éliminant le recours aux émetteurs-récepteurs optiques en intégrant la lumière à la logique numérique elle-même. Cette présentation présentera, en détail, l'architecture générale ainsi que les avancées proposées pour les structures logiques distribuées en cours de développement.
