She earned her Ph.D. in Computer Science from the Pierre et Marie Curie University – Sorbonne Université\, France\, and completed a sabbatical at Carnegie Mellon University\, USA\, from 2016 to 2017. Her research interests include wireless networks\, network security\, and reli ability\, with a current focus on developing network security intelligence powered by data science.\n\nDr. Nogueira is a pioneer in addressing survi vability issues in self-organized wireless networks\, with her work “A S urvey of Survivability in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks” standing as one of her most notable contributions. She has been awarded scholarships from both t he Brazilian government and international institutions\, such as the ACM S IGCOMM Geodiversity Program. Additionally\, she has served as an Associate Technical Editor for IEEE Communications and as Chair of the IEEE ComSoc Internet Technical Committee. Dr. Nogueira is a Senior Member of IEEE and a member of the ACM.\n\nLecture Topic:\n\nThe lecture focused on the growi ng challenges and threats posed by cyberattacks to data security\, which r esult in financial losses\, resource depletion\, and reputational damage f or companies and institutions worldwide. Examples such as the ransomware W annaCry\, which encrypts data and demands ransom payments in Bitcoin\, and sophisticated Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks originating fr om Internet-connected devices like IP cameras and baby monitors\, were dis cussed.\n\nWith an estimated 75 billion connected devices by 2025\, the co mplexity of cyberattacks continues to grow\, underscoring the urgent need to enhance cybersecurity. In this context\, the lecture highlighted academ ia's role in anticipating attackers’ next moves by leveraging network da ta to develop security intelligence and proactively prevent attacks. Dr. N ogueira provided an overview of her research team’s work and discussed f uture directions in this critical field during the session.\n\n[]\n\nRio B ranco\, Acre\, Brazil LOCATION:Rio Branco\, Acre\, Brazil ORGANIZER:ianteixeira@ieee.org SEQUENCE:39 SUMMARY:Data Science for Cybersecurity: A Network-Focused Overview URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/458328 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>On <strong>November 25\, 2024</strong>\, f rom <strong>8:00 AM to 11:30 AM</strong>\, a lecture took place at the <st rong>eAmazonia Auditorium</strong> of the <strong>Federal University of Ac re (UFAC)</strong>\, in <strong>Rio Branco\, Acre</strong>\, featuring <st rong>Professor Michele Nogueira</strong> as the keynote speaker.</p>\n<p>D r.
