Large-scale network systems, such as grid/cloud computing systems, are increasingly expected to be autonomous, scalable, adaptive to dynamic network environments, survivable against partial system failures and simple to implement and maintain. Based on the observation that various biological systems have overcome these requirements, the proposed architecture, SymbioticSphere, applies biological principles and mechanisms to design network systems (i.e., application services and middleware platforms). SymbioticSphere follows key biological principles such as decentralization, evolution, emergence, diversity and symbiosis. Each application service and middleware platform is modeled as a biological entity, analogous to an individual bee in a bee colony, and implements biological mechanisms such as energy exchange, migration, replication, reproduction and death. Each agent/platform possesses behavior policies, as genes, each of which determines when to and how to invoke a particular behavior. Agents and platforms are designed to evolve and adjust their genes (behavior policies) through generations and autonomously improve their scalability, adaptability and survivability. Through this evolution process, agents/platforms strive to satisfy given constraints for quality of service (QoS) such as response time, throughput and workload distribution. This chapter describes the design of SymbioticSphere and evaluates how the biologically-inspired mechanisms in SymbioticSphere impact the autonomy, adaptability, scalability, survivability and simplicity of network systems.

Mitigating Inadvertent Insider Threats with Incentives

Abstract. Inadvertent insiders are trusted insiders who do not have malicious intent (as with malicious insiders) but do not responsibly managing security. The result is often enabling a malicious outsider to use the privileges of the inattentive insider to implement an insider attack. This risk is as old as conversion of a weak user password into root access, but the term inadvertent insider is recently coined to identify the link between the behavior and the vulnerability. In this paper, we propose to mitigate this threat using a novel risk budget mechanism that offers incentives to an insider to behave according to the risk posture set by the organization. We propose assigning an insider a risk budget, which is a specific allocation of risk points, allowing employees to take a finite number of risk-seeking choice. In this way, the employee can complete her tasks without subverting the security system, as with absolute prohibitions. In the end, the organization penalizes the insider if she fails to accomplish her task within the budget while rewards her in the presence of a surplus. Most importantly. the risk budget requires that the user make conscious visible choices to take electronic risks. We describe the theory behind the system, including specific work on the insider threats. We evaluated this approach using human-subject experiments, which demonstrate the effectiveness of our risk budget mechanism. We also present a game theoretic analysis of the mechanism.

“…Funds encapsulate resource rights and serve as a form of priority. In MarketNet [15], access to system resources is governed by a market economy. Prices reflect a balance between supply and demand for a resource while the budgets assigned to client processes determine their priority in gaining QoS access to resources.…”

“…Also, sharing agreements can be transitive, i. e., one principal is able to share resources from another via a chain of sharing agreements even though the two principals do not have any direct sharing agreements. Unfortunately, most existing resource management infrastructures such as Condor [11], Globus [6], Legion [5], and others [2,13,15] provide very limited support for expressing and efficiently enforcing such sharing agreements. This support typically takes the form of "matching" up requests with compatible resource types and does not factor in any capacity restrictions implied by the agreements.…”
