ECE Assistant Professor Janne Lindqvist received the Most Engaging Talk Award at the 2018 USENIX Summit on Hot Topics in Security (HotSec’18). HotSec summit is arranged with the tier-1 conference USENIX Security Symposium that was held this year at Baltimore, MD. In the talk entitled "Science of security or (Science of security, is it delicious and can I have some of it?)” Prof. Janne Lindqvist argued about challenges and remedies related to the science of security. One of the points Prof. Lindqvist made in his talk is that the field of security needs to move beyond building and evaluating computer systems or statistical group comparison of humans, and instead move towards predictive models, as exemplified by his group’s work published at the main conference.
Congratulations Janne!
