WORKSHOP ON
CYBER SECURITY
In today's world where everything is being used, controlled and driven digitally makes
our life simple and efficient which is a boon but also a vulnerable area that leads to many
loopholes which can be exploited " detecting and preventing cyber attacks are vital to
government agencies, private organizations and citizens.

1. CYBER CRIME, FRAUDS AND RISKS:

Todays headlines frequently include the word
cyber, reporting incidents and attacks from the
digital world such as: Cyber bullying, digital
identity theft, malware, botnets, denial-of-
service attacks on corporate and government
entities, cyber-espionage, and cyber attacks on
critical infrastructure facilities. This seminar
will examine a host of security challenges and
mechanisms intended to thwart attacks. It will
also cover key security principles and initiatives
related to cyber security, including cyber crime,
Internet safety, infrastructure protection, cyber
warfare and cyber terrorism.

malware prevention and detection. Techniques from
data science cannot be used directly since the
security domain has some unique challenges: the
active attacker who is constantly trying to defeat
defense mechanisms, the time scale of attacks in
which an attack can happen in a very short time and
real-time detection is needed, the base-rate fallacy,
and others. In this seminar, I will review essential
security knowledge, the unique needs of security
challenges and emphasize key data science
techniques that are well-suited for them.
