The talk entitled “A Journey Through Cybersecurity: Research on IDPS for NC enabled systems and Real-World Automotive Security Challenges” will be presented by Dr. Reza ParsaMehr, december the 17th, at 17:00, in room B021.
Abstract:
My journey in cybersecurity began in the classroom. For more than five years, I served as a university lecturer and faculty member in Iran, teaching and supervising students in computer networks, network security, and secure system design. My path then moved into advanced research, where I contributed to the EU Horizon 2020 SECRET project funded under Horizon Europe’s Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme. I developed some intrusion detection and prevention mechanisms for network coding–enabled 5G mobile small cells.
Transitioning to industry introduced a new reality, where cybersecurity directly affects safety, regulation, and large-scale engineering. Today, as Security and Privacy Team Leader at Aumovio Engineering Solution, I work as a security and privacy specialist and oversee blue-team, penetration testing, and cybersecurity maintenance across automotive platforms while ensuring compliance with ISO/SAE 21434, UNECE R155/R156.
In this keynote, I’ll introduce my research on intrusion detection and prevention mechanisms for network-coding–enabled systems, followed by an overview of real automotive cybersecurity challenges and potential solutions.
