Towards Taming Cyber Risks
Shouhuai Xu, PhD, UCCS Dept. of Computer Science
Summary: Cyberspace is a man-made “universe” that is indispensable to our daily lives. While ushering in previously unthinkable convenience and services, cyberspace, like other advanced technologies, is a doubled-edged sword. In this talk, I will discuss cyber risks imposed by cyber attackers on the public and society, ranging from smart homes to space infrastructures / systems (e.g., satellites) and from individuals to nation-state. Then, I will discuss approaches to mitigating cyber risks (including what can be contributed by each citizen) and our own research towards taming cyber risks from a holistic perspective.
Dr. Shouhuai Xu is the Gallogly Chair Professor in Cybersecurity, Department of Computer Science, University of Colorado Colorado Springs (UCCS). His research has won several awards, including First Place at the 2019 worldwide adversarial malware classification challenge organized by the MIT Lincoln Lab, the USCYBERCOM CyberRecon’2023 Analyst Award, the USCERCOM CyberRecon’2024 Hunter Award, and First Place at 2024 DoD NSIN/UC2 Cyber Innovators Challenge. His research has been funded by AFOSR, AFRL, ARL, ARO, DOE, NSA, NSF and ONR. He co-initiated the International Conference on Science of Cyber Security (SciSec) and is serving as its Steering Committee Chair.
