At the ATHENE Distinguished Lectures, we invite established national and international cybersecurity experts to give us insights into their latest research findings.
The Distinguished Lectures are mostly held hybrid (on-site at Fraunhofer SIT in Darmstadt), so that there is also the possibility to meet and exchange with the key players in cybersecurity in person after the lecture with tasty snacks and drinks.
The language of the lecture is English.
ATHENE Distinguished Lecture Series is organized by Prof. Haya Shulman, ATHENE | Goethe University Frankfurt | Fraunhofer SIT.
On July 4, Sascha Fahl from CISPA will be our guest.
Title: A Holistic Approach to Human Factors in Cybersecurity
Abstract:
The field of information security and privacy has taught us that developing functional and practical security mechanisms requires more than just technological innovation. Human factors play a crucial role in the success or failure of security and privacy systems. The persistent gap between the theoretical security of cryptographic algorithms and real-world vulnerabilities, data breaches, and possible attacks has highlighted the need for a holistic approach to security and privacy research.
As a researcher in this field, I have focused on identifying crucial weak points and empowering all actors involved in creating and using security and privacy-preserving technology. This includes end-users, developers, and system operators. My research has involved working with secure messaging, security indicators, and authentication mechanisms to empower end-users, improving APIs, documentation, and developer tools to support developers, and improving configuration languages and tools to benefit system operators.
In this talk, I will demonstrate how this holistic approach to human factors in cybersecurity research helps close the gap between theoretical security, privacy, and real-world deployments. I will present my past and current work on supporting expert users and protecting end-users and outlining my goals and strategies for future research. Through a combination of technical innovation and consideration of human factors, I believe we can successfully prevent involuntary loss of control over data and empower users to retain power over their security and privacy.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
