Games and Cyber Security
- 14:00 22nd May 2015 ( week 5, Trinity Term 2015 )Tony Hoare Room, Robert Hooke Building
The Research Institute on Science of Cyber Security (RISCS) addresses two key questions:
- How to measure how secure a system is
- How to provide better decision support tools
The institute consists of 4 projects led by Imperial, Newcastle, RHUL and UCL. The institute is hosted by UCL.
We will discuss the need for a science of cyber security and review the activities of RISCS. The second part of the seminar will give more details of the work done at Imperial. We have concentrated on developing an approach to use Game Theory as a basis for decision support tools to assist system administrators in protecting their systems against cyber attack. We will review this work and report on recent results.
