Poppy Gustafssion: We have approached cybersecurity. We don’t know what tomorrow’s threat’s going to look like.
波比·古斯塔夫松:我们已经在着手处理网络安全，我们不知道明天的威胁会是什么。

Every year, hacks are becoming bigger, more frequent and more sophisticated. Cybercrime is estimated to cost the world: a whopping $8 trillion by 2022. And cybersecurity experts are working day and night, not just to catch up, but to outsmart the hackers.
每年，网络入侵（范围）变得越来越大，（次数）越来越频繁，（事件）越来越复杂。据估计，网络犯罪将给世界带来巨大的损失: 到2022年将损失8万亿美元。网络安全专家们夜以继日地工作，不仅仅是为了追赶，也是为了智胜黑客。

Here in Cambridge, a team of mathematicians and ex-British spies have built a cyberdefense strategy that’s based on our own human immune system. And now, it’s being used to defend some huge interests.
在剑桥，一个由数学家和前英国间谍组成的团队建立了一个基于人类免疫系统的网络防御策略。现在，它被用来保护一些大型企业的利益。

This is Drax Power Station. It’s the largest coal-powered plant in the UK. Imagine your job was to protect a company of this size and importance from hackers.
这是德拉克斯发电站。这是英国最大的燃煤发电厂。想象一下，你的工作是保护一家规模庞大和如此重要的公司，让它不受黑客攻击。

Martin Sloan: Drax Power Station generates approximately 7% of electricity for the country. So far a power station which uses data to manage everything that you see around here—each of the business units, each of the controllers. That’s data.
马丁·斯隆: 德拉克斯发电站为国家提供了大约7%的电力。到目前为止，发电站使用数据来管理你在这里看到的一切——每一个业务单元，每一个控制器。这都是数据。

So Drax and other critical national infrastructure is constantly seeing breech attempts. But the company Darktrace, founded by those mathematicians and spies, is helping defend Drax Station in a new way.
德拉克斯和其他关键的国家基础设施不断发现有人试图入侵。但是由数学家和间谍们创立的Darktrace公司（英国网络安全初创公司）正在以一种全新的方式帮助德拉克斯站进行防御。

Martin Sloan: Before Darktrace, we took a very traditional approach—the same as any other organization in the way it fights cyber warfare in that you’ve got several layers of firewalls. But there is an acceptance that no matter how good those defenses are, you’ll still be breached.
马丁·斯隆: 在接触Darktrace公司之前，我们采用了一种非常传统的方法——就像其他所有组织一样，在网络战争中设置了好几层防火墙。但有一种共识是，不管这些防御有多好，你仍然会被攻破。

Instead, Darktrace’s technology focuses on preventing any breaches from doing harm. And just like your body’s immune system that fends off viruses, Darktrace is building a cyber immune system for the computers.
相反，Darktrace的技术专注于防止任何会造成伤害的入侵。就像人体免疫系统抵御病毒一样，Darktrace正在为电脑构建一个网络免疫系统。

Poppy Gustafssion: The human immune system has, at its core, the innate sense of self. By knowing what is you, it can then identify what is other. Our bodies will then adapt and sort of mount a defense against that bacteria or virus, and write the code of that defense into our immunological memory.
波比·古斯塔夫松: 人类免疫系统的核心是天生的自我意识。通过了解你是什么，它就能识别异物。然后我们的身体就会适应并建立一种防御机制来抵抗这种细菌或病毒，并将这种防御机制的代码写入我们的免疫记忆中。

Dave Palmer: The digital immune system is genuinely inspired by the human immune systems. Once we have smart systems that can learn what’s normal and spot the strange and the unusual, that’s great. We can tell human beings about attacks as they are emerging inside of their business.
戴夫·帕尔默: 数字免疫系统纯粹是受到人类免疫系统的启发。一旦我们有了智能系统，可以识别什么是正常的，什么是奇怪的，什么是不寻常的，那是相当好的一件事。当业务内部即将被攻击时，这个系统可以提醒人类。

Martin Sloan: I often describe Darktrace as life insurance. You have it not because you expect to be preached all the time. And when it does happen, you’re able to see that anomalous behavior. And when we do that, more often than not, that anomalous behavior can be explained.
马丁·斯隆: 我经常Darktrace描述为人寿保险。你拥有它并不是因为你希望你能一直得到庇佑。当它发生时，你就能察觉到异常的行为。当我们这样做的时候，通常情况下，反常的行为是一目了然的。

But when it isn’t, then we are able to deal with that incident immediately, take it off the network, find out where the problem was, fix it so that it doesn’t happen again. This technology is like a fever that alerts us when we have a virus, and then we need to take actions to treat it.
但当它不是异常行为的时候，我们就能立即处理这个事件，断开网络，找出问题所在，修复它，这样问题就不会再发生了。这项技术就像是生病发烧，当我们有病毒时就会提醒我们，然后我们需要采取行动来治疗它。

But Darktrace isn’t stopping at that. It wants the artificial intelligence not just to diagnose, but also, to start treating the computer virus even before the humans can intervene.
但是Darktrace并不会止步于此。它想要人工智能不仅能进行诊断，还能在人类介入之前就开始治疗电脑病毒。

Dave Palmer: What’s really exciting, that’s been developed over the last year, is the ability to autonomously respond to attacks as soon as they happen, letting the machine judge what’s normal and unusual, and starting to interrupt and prod and poke and disrupt those signs of attack before they begin to have a major impact.
戴夫帕:令人兴奋的是，经过一年的研发，这个系统能够自发并且迅速地应对袭击,让机器判断什么是正常和异常,并在这些攻击开始产生重大影响前通过中断网络等一些手段阻止入侵。

AI doesn’t suddenly fix everything. I think it just takes us to the next phase of good guys versus bad guys.
人工智能不会一下子解决所有问题。我认为这只是把我们带到了好人对抗坏人的下一阶段。
