CS/CIS presentation: A Vision for Human-Centered Cybersecurity
IEEE Rochester Section: Computer and Computational Intelligence Societies Chapter Seminar
While most research attention in cybersecurity is on technology, from cryptography on chips to using machine learning to detect attacks, many security problems in practice are due to people, such as an user opening a malicious email attachment. Understanding and designing for the human beings using, administering, and even attacking our systems is the key to making them more secure, not just on paper but in practice. In this talk, I will discuss some of the research efforts at RIT in human-centered cybersecurity, including new password technologies, measuring the effectiveness of two-factor authentication, understanding the source of security bugs, and modeling attackers. This research forms the core of RIT's new Center for Cybersecurity, housed in the Golisano College of Computing and Information Sciences.

Dr. Matthew Wright
A Vision for Human-Centered Cybersecurity
Biography:
Matt Wright is the Director of the Center for Cybersecurity at RIT and a Professor of Computing Security. He graduated with his PhD from the Department of Computer Science at the University of Massachusetts in May, 2005, where he earned his MS in 2002. His dissertation work examined attacks and defenses for systems that provide anonymity online. His other interests include understanding the human element of security and security and privacy in all sorts of distributed systems, including peer-to-peer, mobile, and Internet of Things. Previously, he earned his BS degree in Computer Science at Harvey Mudd College. He is a recipient of the NSF CAREER Award, the Outstanding Paper Award at the 2002 Symposium on Network and Distributed System Security, and the Outstanding Student Paper Award at the 2016 European Symposium on Research in Computer Security.
