Leading researchers discuss privacy and security in a connected age
As we increasingly rely on the Internet to connect to everything from banks and electrical grids to medical devices and autonomous vehicles, we are exposed to new vulnerabilities that threaten our security and privacy.
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has long supported research to enable transformational advances in cybersecurity--from early NSF investments in cryptography and data protection in the 1980s and 1990s to today's broad portfolio of research investments enabling new paradigms for cybersecurity and consumer protection.
On Thursday, Oct. 30, NSF and IEEE-USA gathered experts in cybersecurity and privacy to explain the nature of these threats and discuss new, innovative ways to combat them.
In a conversation moderated by CISE acting assistant director Suzi Iacono, Lorrie Cranor (Carnegie Mellon University), Roxana Geambasu (Columbia University) and Gary McGraw (Cigital, Inc.) discussed the fundamental research that underlies online privacy and cybersecurity and the translation of ideas from academia to the marketplace.
Said Iacono: "NSF support for cybersecurity research is shaping a future that will give us more individual choice and control."
