Abstract
TIM Lecture Series – Cybersecurity Metrics and Simulation
Highlights
“ ” Given the continual onslaught of successful cyber-attacks against banks, governments, and retailers, one has to wonder whether any progress is being made in computer security at all. How is it possible to reconcile the huge investments that have been made in securing networks and computers with the fact that attackers are still routinely breaching what should be highly protected networks? What metrics can explain the situation and how can we evaluate those metrics through simulation or other means?
Cybenko highlighted the many high-profile cyber-attacks that dominate headlines today, which stand in contrast to massive investments in cybersecurity research and practices, as well as the creation of many cybersecurity companies, over the past 10 to 15 years
He challenged the research community – himself included – to demonstrate www.timreview.ca greater progress over the 10 years in terms of our capacity to mitigate the impacts of cyber-attacks
Summary
George Cybenko “ ” Given the continual onslaught of successful cyber-attacks against banks, governments, and retailers, one has to wonder whether any progress is being made in computer security at all. How is it possible to reconcile the huge investments that have been made in securing networks and computers with the fact that attackers are still routinely breaching what should be highly protected networks? The sixth TIM lecture of 2014 was held at Carleton University on October 8th, and was presented by George Cybenko, the Dorothy and Walter Gramm Professor of Engineering at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, United States. In the second part of the lecture, Cybenko presented a modelling and simulation approach that produces meaningful quantitative security metrics as the basis for a more rigorous science of cybersecurity
