Prof Yang Xiang of Swinburne University of Technology, Australia

– Cybersecurity has emerged as one of the foremost priorities on the global research and development agenda today. The urgent need for new and innovative cybersecurity technologies capable of effectively addressing this pressing danger cannot be overstated. Software security is paramount to maintaining the integrity of modern software applications. Given the broad spectrum of real-world applications, different security challenges are evaluated based on the specific use case.

In this presentation, we will dissect a variety of security issues that have arisen in diverse applications, examining both the associated challenges and effective strategies in software security. We will delve into the technique of fuzzing, an efficient and effective automated process vital for software testing. Additionally, we will explore strategies for detecting security vulnerabilities in software. We will also scrutinize security considerations in binary code applications, including those in IoT devices and Windows low-level components. By viewing AI models as software, we will further address the significant security problems present within deep learning models.
