Hello all,
First off, thanks to everyone who participated in the exchange on security in
mobile agent systems, and/or mailed me. I'm not sure that I'm any the wiser
for it, but it's raised some interesting points for further investigation! I
hope we can take this a bit further....
As I said, the question of security is IMO the biggest stumbling block for the
widescale uptake of mobile agent technology. We may be caught between the
Scylla and Charybdis; damned if we are left behind while our competitors forge
ahead with agent systems, and damned if the security of our customers' systems
and data are violated!
That's why my colleagues and I at BT Labs are looking at future security in
mobile agent systems. We're examining current implementations and threats,
attempting to foresee future events, and examining some of the ways networks
might be defended against adapting, mobile, intelligent attackers.
We're particularly eager to expand by recruiting experienced professionals who
have .... well, a slightly off-beat approach to life in general. If you feel
you'd like to work with us, we'd be very interested to hear from you!! Get in
touch for further details; we've got a number of vacancies which need filling
now.
