[T38] Security Aspects in the Evolved IoT-Edge-Cloud Continuum Paradigm – Valeria Loscri

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Fri, Sep 27th, 2024, 2pm CET, we welcome Valeria Loscri from INRIA Lille, France for another edition of TALK.CYBERcni.fr on “Security Aspects in the Evolved IoT-Edge-Cloud Continuum Paradigm”. Share and join!

As our connected world expands with advanced services and applications, the IoT-Edge-Cloud Continuum has emerged as a key paradigm, seamlessly integrating IoT devices, edge computing, and cloud services. But with this evolution comes new security challenges, exposing vulnerabilities across heterogeneous devices. Valeria will dive into the security landscape of this paradigm, highlighting how IoT-device vulnerabilities can escalate into powerful attacks on higher layers of the continuum.

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.

The Cyber CNI Lecture Series is a free monthly event that typically takes place on the last Friday of the month from 2pm to 3h30pm CET.

The Cyber CNI Speaker series aims to raise awareness and understanding of cyber security issues among all audiences. It aims to enable an ongoing dialogue between experts from industry and academia and the general public (citizens, families, small and large businesses, public organizations, etc.). All of us are concerned.

The events are broadcast live on Youtube (https://talk.cybercni.fr/) and LinkedIn, allowing worldwide remote participation – including a tool to participate in the discussion.

You can add the event calendar via ICS, webcal, HTML.

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.

[T36] Dynamic Cybersecurity Risk Management with Responsible AI Practice  for Enhancing Security and Resilience of Digital Infrastructure – Shareeful Islam

/0 Comments/in , , /by

On Fri, July 26th, 2024, 2h00pm CET, we welcome Shareeful Islam from Anglia Ruskin University, UK for another edition of TALK.CYBERcni.fr on “Dynamic Cybersecurity Risk Management with Responsible AI Practice  for Enhancing Security and Resilience of Digital Infrastructure – Shareeful Islam”. Share and join!
We are excited to welcome Dr. Shareeful Islam from Anglia Ruskin University for a compelling talk on “Dynamic Cybersecurity Risk Management with Responsible AI Practice for Enhancing Security and Resilience of Digital Infrastructure.” In this session, Dr. Islam will address the growing sophistication of cyberattacks and the critical need for dynamic cybersecurity risk management. Learn how hybrid AI-enabled models, combining linear regression and deep learning, can help manage risks more effectively and ensure the development of trustworthy AI systems.

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.
