Abstract

Much like a viral contagion, misinformation can spread rapidly from one mind to another. Moreover, once lodged in memory, falsehoods are difficult to correct. Inoculation theory offers a natural basis for developing a psychological ‘vaccine’ against the spread of fake news and misinformation. Specifically, in a series of lab and field studies, I’ll show that it is possible to pre-emptively “immunize” people against disinformation about a wide range of topics by pre-exposing them to severely weakened doses of the techniques that underlie its production. This process of ‘prebunking’ helps people cultivate cognitive antibodies in both simulated and real social media environments. I’ll showcase several interventions we developed and evaluated—with public health authorities and social media companies—to help citizens around the world recognize and resist unwanted attempts to influence and mislead.

How the digital transformation is changing our lives

Our society relies more and more on information and operational technologies. Examples include water, energy, heat and cooling supply, communications, healthcare, production and processing of goods, transportation, national security, banking, research and education, and food production.

What all these areas have in common is that they make intensive use of networked distributed computer systems. These systems can be attacked in many ways. This is no longer just a problem for computer “pros” because computer systems are essential to all of us. The effects of “cyber-attacks” range from power outages to the collapse of the health care or banking sectors.

[T39] A case for Internet Transparency – the Responsible Internet – Ralph Holz (Universität Münster)

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Fri, Oct 25th, 2024, 2pm CET, we welcome Ralph Holz from Universität Münster, Germany, for another edition of TALK.CYBERcni.fr on “A case for Internet Transparency – the Responsible Internet”. Share and join!

Despite technological advancements, Internet security issues persist, particularly at the infrastructure level. Ralph Holz will discuss why traditional solutions are often ineffective and propose a game-changing approach: Internet Transparency. By making it possible to identify the operators and reasons behind security failures, we can change the incentives to invest in better security practices. Holz will also introduce “The Responsible Internet,” a multidisciplinary approach combining global measurements, decentralized logging, and economics research to foster a more secure and accountable Internet.

Abstract

Despite some progress over the last 20 years, Internet security problems just keep cropping up. At the infrastructure level in particular – from hardware to critical services – it is sobering to realize that the incentives to invest in modern technologies too often clash with business or organisational considerations. Instead of continuing to rely on technologies that tend to be poorly received by the market, we provide arguments why it is more expedient to take a more indirect approach by introducing and fostering so-called “Internet Transparency”. This idea is based on earlier empirical evidence: if it is possible to determine by which operator, and why, a problem was caused, the incentives to invest in security and less flawed processes change across the board. We will therefore start by presenting a few results from previous work to motivate why we should now focus on Internet Transparency, before moving on to a possible approach for implementing this, which is largely based on global measurements and decentralised logging, flanked by economics and governance research and efforts. We have nicknamed this multidisciplinary approach the Responsible Internet, and the remainder of the talk will introduce our approach and ongoing efforts.

Abstract

Living in our perpetually connected world presents us with an abundance of novel advanced services and automated applications. In order to meet the increasing demand of advanced services and applications, significant activity has been dedicated in the recent years to build the IoT-Edge-Cloud Continuum paradigm. 

This paradigm shift comes with a change in the security landscape, enabling new and more powerful attacks relying on vulnerabilities of heterogeneous devices, where not all the devices cannot be with same level of security. 

It is paramount to analyze this new security landscape and estimate the potential impact of attacks at IoT-devices on the upper layers.

Abstract

The sophistication of cyberattacks has significantly increased, making it almost certain that organizations can be victims of cyberattacks at any time. Managing cybersecurity risk is critical for any organization so that informed decisions can be made to tackle risks before they materialize. However, performing effective risk management is always challenging due to the constant changes in organizational infrastructure and security posture, including the adoption of new applications and the reconfiguration or updating of existing assets and their dependencies, as well as the potential exploitation of vulnerabilities. Despite the wider adoption of AI enabled solution in  cybersecurity , but lack of focus on the analysing  dynamic parameters using AI models  and their integration into cybersecurity  risk management. Additionally, AI-enable cybersecurity solution needs to assure the Responsible AI practice for trustworthy AI system development and use 

This talk presents dynamic Cyber Security Risk Management (d-CSRM)) to tackle this challenge by integrating for assessing and managing the risk. It considers hybrid AI-enabled model that combines both linear regression and deep learning,  with responsible AI practice to assess the risk.

Abstract

Cyber-physical systems are often  safety-critical and require a rigorous  development process to reduce  the risk of hazards to an acceptable  level. Traditionally, this meant  isolated components with predictable  run-time behaviour, combined with  redundancy to achieve fault tolerance.  Today, we consider it normal to  have internet-connected cars,  management of critical infrastructure  running in the cloud, and  air-traffic control that operate remotely  with digital screens instead  of windows for the operators. At the same  time, the cyber threats have  grown drastically in frequency and  sophistication putting many of these  connected cyber-physical systems  at risk. Unfortunately, we have not  kept up with the development of  rigorous and verifiable development  methods to match the increased  connectivity and complexity of our  critical systems. In this talk I  will discuss opportunities and  challenges of using formal methods to  verify security properties in  cyber-physical systems. The focus will be  on networked cyber-physical  systems considering three different  abstraction levels, entity  coordination, cryptographic protocol design,  and implementation of  communication protocols. I will discuss how  high-level requirements can  be refined and translated to low-level  properties, show some examples of  what we can show, and where we are  still struggling to find suitable  abstractions and models.

How the digital transformation is changing our lives

Our society relies more and more on information and operational technologies. Examples include water, energy, heat and cooling supply, communications, healthcare, production and processing of goods, transportation, national security, banking, research and education, and food production.

What all these areas have in common is that they make intensive use of networked distributed computer systems. These systems can be attacked in many ways. This is no longer just a problem for computer “pros” because computer systems are essential to all of us. The effects of “cyber-attacks” range from power outages to the collapse of the health care or banking sectors.
