GTISC, Intel Work to Improve Security Education
December 3, 2012
Members of the Georgia Tech Information Security Center have recently
teamed up with Intel to improve cyber security education. With the
help of multiple gifts from Intel, faculty at GTISC have begun work that incorporates security concepts throughout the general undergraduate Computer Science curriculum. This work has led to pilots that augment the Fall 2012 CS1301, CS2110, and CS2340 classes with security-specific content. GTISC sincerely appreciates Intel's contributions and commitment to cyber security education.
Intel CPU Donation
September 24, 2012
Earlier this month, GTISC received a donation of high-performance, multi-core E7-4870 processors from Intel. These processors will be used to conduct large-scale, virtualization-based malware analysis research, which can yield threat intelligence on the many thousands of malware samples GTISC collects each day. Previous malware research performed using Intel processors has produced intelligence that lead to the takedown of large botnets and the arrest of the criminal operators behind them. GTISC thanks Intel for its generous donation.
New GTISC Director
August 15, 2012
Wenke Lee has been named director of the Georgia Tech Information Security Center (GTISC). Lee, whose appointment became effective August 13, is a professor in the School of Computer Science and has been at Georgia Tech since 2001. He earned his Ph.D. in computer science from Columbia University in 1999 and taught at North Carolina State for two years before coming to Atlanta. Among Lee's awards and honors are an NSF CAREER Award in 2002 and the College of Computing's Outstanding Senior Faculty Research Award in 2009, and he has published more than 100 scholarly articles.

"The Internet is Insecure and Will Likely Remain So - What Now?"
Henning Schulzrinne
Chief Technology Officer,
US Federal Communications Commission

ABSTRACT: A common claim is that the Internet should be redesigned to make it "more secure". However, I believe that attempts to fix security problems at the network level are likely misguided and futile. We need to take into account the motivations of real-world attackers and capabilities of non-technical users. In the talk, I will propose some of the principles and approaches that combine new technical capabilities, public policy and incentives to reduce the overall impact of security vulnerabilities. I will also describe some of the FCC public policy approaches in the area of botnet mitigation, routing security, wireless infrastructure security and DNSsec deployment, as well as the threats posed by caller ID spoofing and the opportunity offered by the redesign of the phone system. Public safety systems such as the next-generation 9-1-1 system illustrate new security threats, such as location spoofing and human resource exhaustion.
BIO: Henning Schulzrinne received degrees in economics and electrical engineering from the Darmstadt University of Technology, Germany, the University of Cincinnati, Ohio and the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, Massachusetts. He was a member of technical staff at AT&T Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill and an associate department head at GMD-Fokus (Berlin), before joining the Computer Science and Electrical Engineering departments at Columbia University, New York. He is currently serving as the Chief Technology Officer of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
