Cybersecurity Research Challenges (ID: CYB08010)

Author(s):

Jeannette Wing (National Science Foundation)

Origin:

Presented at Cybersecurity Summit (05/07/2008)

Type:

Presentations/Speeches

Abstract:

Today’s most prevalent and widely discussed attacks exploit code-level flaws such as buffer overruns and type-invalid input. We need to anticipate tomorrow’s attacks and think beyond buffer overruns, beyond code-level bugs, and beyond the horizon. To be ready for threats of the future, we need to be doing more basic research in cybersecurity today. This talk will outline a few suggestions for important research directions in cybersecurity: the foundations of trustworthy computing, security architectures, privacy, usability, and security metrics.

The goal of the commission is to identify a strategy and set of recommendations for the next administration to move ahead in securing cyberspace. This session will provide a status report on the commission's work to date. It will also provide an opportunity to offer input regarding progress that has been made in the higher education sector, remaining challenges and opportunities, and the role of the federal government to help improve cybersecurity at colleges and universities.
