DEI Talks | “Key Challenges in Cyber Security and Cyber Resilience” by José Alegria

The talk “Key Challenges in Cyber Security and Cyber Resilience” will be presented November 27th, at 14:00, room B021.

 Abstract:

 Cybersecurity and cyber resilience must be viewed holistically under an active doctrine covering five dimensions: A) Governance, B) Prevention, C) Protection, D) Early Detection and Fast Counterresponse, and, finally, F) Quick Recovery. Prevention and Protection are designed as “inhibitor” dimensions to minimize the probability of a cyber-attack materializing and succeeding.

In this talk, we will discuss this active cyber governance doctrine and identify key, challenging, new research areas.
