On Enterprise Information Systems and Cyber Threats: Some Pentagonxe2x80x99s Shortcomings and Newer Initiatives In this paper, we discuss new university courses regard Russian digital economy program, which is oriented to the endtoend digital technologies, including: Big Data; neurotechnologies and artificial intelligence; quantum technologies; industrial internet; robotics and sensory; wireless communication; technologies of the virtual and complemented realities. According to the newer Pentagon activities, the key attention in the field of Information Systems has turned to Cloud Strategy and Artificial intelligence. This Pentagonxe2x80x99s new strategy was developed after the serious critics of the current state, namely, the shortcomings with Joint Information Environment and its key cybersecurity equipment Joint Regional Security Stacks. Twoside difficulties for DoD modernization are discussed: from one side, the vendorsxe2x80x99 pressure introduce the latest achievements, namely, Software Defined Network and Network Function Virtualization, and from another, it is difficult to abandon the old technology, as timedivision multiplexing, asynchronous transfer mode equipment, signaling protocol SS7 and Advanced Intelligent Network.

Proactive Antifragility: A New Paradigm for NextGeneration Cyber Defence at the Edge Recent advances in the Internet of Things (IoT) and, more generally, distributed computing research have given rise to various edgeoriented computing paradigms including Edge, Fog, and Mobile CloudComputing. Systems adhering to these paradigms exhibit a number of characteristics such as high levels of heterogeneity and dynamicity, leading to high complexity, that exacerbate the problems associated with traditional cyber defence. These problems are further exacerbated when edgeoriented systems operate in adversarial environments, e.g. the Internet of Battle Things (IoBT). Current generations of cyber defence approaches straddling attack prevention, detection, response and tolerance are arguably insufficient for edgeoriented systems operating in IoBT environments, especially given the constant increase in cyber attack sophistication. In this paper, we propose proactive antifragility as a new paradigm for the next generation of cyber defence approaches capable of taking into account the aforementioned system characteristics and environmental challenges. We propose a conceptualization of proactive antifragility, and then outline associated challenges and research directions indicating which existing approaches can be reused or advanceddeveloped further in order for proactive antifragility to be achieved at the edge.
