ABSTRACTS & BIOS:
Dr. Ping Ji (Graduate Center, CUNY) - "Digging Down Under the Surface of the Internet"
In the digital era, we are all used to access the Internet easily through many types of devices at almost any time. The world of Apps has grown from only supporting web browsers & emails to the current gigantic platform supporting over 8.3 million apps globally. However, what are at the core of the Internet? If we dig deeper under the surface of the Internet, would it help us to understand better of the security, privacy & ethics issues of the digital world? In this talk, we'll explore the fundamentals & challenges of the Internet architecture & its design, & discuss ways of observing the activities of the Internet from under its surface.
Dr. Ping Ji is a Full Professor in Computer Science of the City University of New York' John Jay College of Criminal Justice & the Graduate Center. Currently, Dr. Ji also serves as the Executive Officer of the Computer Science PhD Program & the Director of the Data Science Master's Program of CUNY GC. Throughout her 20 years career at CUNY, Dr. Ji has pioneered many initiatives on both academic & administration sides. Dr. Ji is a founding faculty & a key contributor of John Jay College's Digital Forensics Master's program, & the founding director of CUNY Graduate Center's Master's program in Data Science. Dr. Ji's research interests include Network Measurements & Data Analysis, Security Monitoring Strategies for Computer & Wireless Networks, Network Security, Mobile Networks, & Internet of Things (IoT). Her work has been published in well recognized professional journals & conference proceedings including IEEE/ACM Transaction on Networking (ToN), ACM SigComm, ACM SigKDD, Performance Evaluation, etc. Dr. Ji is the recipient of a number of research fundings & awards from the National Science Foundation & other government agencies.
Dr. Quanyan Zhu (NYU) - "Guarding Against Insider Threats (GAIT): Proactive Mitigation of Human Cognitive Vulnerabilities & Ethical Reflection"
Insider threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated, exploiting human vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information. To combat this growing threat, a proactive approach is necessary to strengthen the cognitive security of insiders who may suffer from attention deficits, lack of accountability, & insufficient incentives for compliance. In this talk, our aim is to explore the cognitive vulnerabilities of humans & present various assistive technologies that can mitigate insider threats by creating incentives, guiding attention, & fostering resilience. Additionally, we will examine ethical issues related to privacy & counter-deception, & propose a human-centered design for insider threat mitigation mechanisms using the doctrine of cyber effects as a framework.
Dr. Quanyan Zhu is an associate professor at the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering, New York University (NYU). He is an affiliated faculty member of the Center for Urban Science & Progress (CUSP) & Center for Cyber Security (CCS) at NYU. His current research interests include cognitive security, AI & game theory, cyber & physical system resilience, automation & robotics. He currently serves as the technical committee chair on security & privacy for IEEE Control Systems Society.
