Seminar: Cyber Security Modeling and Analysis of Internet of Things

19 Dec 2018 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
Presenter/Speaker: Dr Dan DongSeong Kim, Senior Lecturer in Cybersecurity, University of Canterbury, NZ
Location: G.1.15

A lot of Internet of Things (IoT) devices are vulnerable to cyber attacks. It is important to assess and enhance the security of IoT devices and IoT networks and service. The Cybersecurity Lab at the University of Canterbury (UC) along with other universities have received an MBIE grant on “advanced security technologies for the Internet of Things” (http://iotresearch.org/) as international collaborations between NZ universities (UC, Auckland University of Technology, Massey University, and Victoria University of Wellington) and Universities in Korea (Korea University and Sungkyunkwan University). In this talk, I will introduce on-going research topics under the MBIE grant and (1) a cybersecurity modeling and evaluation framework will be presented, (2) security assessment of IoT networks with non-patchable IoT nodes and mobile IoT nodes and (3) network level security defense techniques including moving target defenses and deception techniques. Finally, future work research revenues will be discussed.
