One illustrious career in computer sciences at the University of Wisconsin–Madison can be traced to an anxious mother, a cocktail party conversation, and a “dead boring” job — plus a fascination with low-level machine code, a subject that many computer scientists disdain.
Recognizing the importance of a more integrated approach to combating data breaches and security failures, MIT publicly launched three new MIT research efforts aimed at addressing the technical, regulatory and managerial aspects of cyber security.
The Center for Identity has developed a game for children as part of a curriculum for 8 to 10 year olds. The web-based game allows players to share various types of information on a simulated social media platform. Players gain or points based on their answers.
In a new research report for the National Institute of Justice, Thomas Holt found many hackers and data thieves are operating in Russia or on websites where users communicate in Russian, making it easier to hide from U.S. and European authorities.
Implantable medical devices, brain-machine interfaces and wearable technology all present intensifying privacy and security challenges. Better to build security into such devices rather than trying to layer it over them later.
