ATHENE Distinguished Lecture mit Sascha Fahl | hybrid

Prof. Sascha Fahl von CISPA ist zu Gast bei der ATHENE Distinguished Lecture Series. Er spricht über: "A Holistic Approach to Human Factors in Cyber­security"

Zu den ATHENE Distinguished Lectures sind etablierte nationale und inter­nationale Cyber­security-Expert*innen gelade, die Einblicke in ihre neuesten Foschungsergebnisse geben.
Die Distinguished Lectures finden meist hybrid (vor Ort am Fraunhofer SIT in Darmstadt) statt, so dass auch die Möglichkeit besteht, sich nach dem Vortrag bei leckeren Snacks und Getränken persönlich mit den wichtigsten Akteuren der Cybersicherheit zu treffen und auszutauschen. Die Vortragssprache ist Englisch.
Die ATHENE Distinguished Lecture Series wird organisiert von Prof. Haya Shulman, ATHENE | Goethe-Universität Frankfurt | Fraunhofer SIT.

Am 4. Juli spricht Sascha Fahl von CISPA

Vortrag: Simply Secure: 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.

Combination of search terms

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.

Brackets

You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).

Phrases

Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.

Selection criteria

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).
