报告摘要:

    Cybersecurity Data Analytics is an emerging field of extreme importance, and is one of the integral parts of the emerging Science of Cybersecurity.  In this talk, I will discuss the research effort that we have initiated toward a systematic framework and understanding of Cybersecurity Data Analytics. As examples, I will report some of our results in analyzing cyber attack data collected by two kinds of cyber defense instruments: honeypot and telescope. I will highlight the interesting phenomena that are found to be relevant in the cybersecurity domain for the first time, such as Long-Range Dependence (LRD). I will also discuss our results toward characterizing the predictability of cyber attacks.

    Shouhuai Xu is a Full Professor in the Department of Computer Science, University of Texas at San Antonio. He is the Director of the Laboratory for Cybersecurity Dynamics (http://www.cs.utsa.edu/~shxu/LCD/index.html) at UTSA. His research is primarily in making cyberspace more secure and trustworthy. He is especially interested in mathematical modeling and analysis of cybersecurity, and devising practical cyber defense technologies (including both provably-secure cryptographic protocols and advanced cyber defense mechanisms). His research has been funded by AFOSR, ARO, NSF and ONR. He is a Program Committee co-chair of NSS’15, and was a Program Committee co-chair of Inscrypt’13 as well as several international workshops. He has served on the Program Committees of 90+ international conferences/workshops. He is currently an Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Dependable and Secure Computing (IEEE TDSC) and IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security (IEEE T-IFS). He earned his PhD in Computer Science from Fudan University.
