Bringing the Cyber-Peace: Vortrag auf der DeepIntel in Salzburg

Stefan Schumacher wird auf der DeepIntel in Salzburg die Global Cyber Defence Initiative vorstellen.

DeepSec DeepIntel

Zum ersten Mal wird in diesem Jahr die DeepIntel Konferenz im Hotel Jagdhof in Salzburg/Österreich stattfinden. Die Konferenz findet am 3. und 4.9. statt, einige Karten sind derzeit noch verfügbar.

The DeepINTEL conference is our Summer event focusing on Security Intelligence. Security Intelligence is one the newest disciplines in the IT security zoo. It covers the strategic view, tells you who is intending to attack you where, why and which capabilities your attacker has. Security intelligence is using several different approaches: algorithmic and statistical analysis, infiltration of adversaries, data correlation, meta analysis and related techniques.

Auf der Veranstaltung wird Stefan Schumacher die im letzten Jahr vorgestellte Strategie zum Cyber-Peace vertiefen und mit der Global Cyber Defence Initiative konkrete Schritte vorstellen:

Bringing the Cyber-Peace - Introducing the Global Cyber Defence Initiative

Stefan Schumacher (President of the Magdeburg Institute for Security Research)

Cyber-war, cyber-crime and cyber-security are hot topics nowadays and discussed even in mainstream media. As information technology spreads and emerges into new fields - from smart meter and intelligent homes, intelligent cars and supervisory control and data acquisition system - IT security becomes more and more a vitally important part of our society.

Since discussing Carl von Clausewitz and "cyber war" does not resolve security problems itself, I introduced and discussed the concept for a cyber peace at last year's DeepSec conference.

To resolve security problems and getting things done, we founded the Global Cyber Defence Initiative - an interdisciplinary network of security experts (researchers, consultants, trainers, hacker…) and other organisations (corporations, chambers of commerce, scientific institutes…) who are interested in solving security problems.

Besides setting up the GCDI as a cluster of competence, we also work on a doctrine (including strategy and tactics) to resolve some of the IT security problems. Those include:

getting more interdisciplinary research and work in IT security, esp. psychological and pedagogical
setting up security awareness campaigns and evaluating their succes
creating a didactics of security including methods and tools to teach security
professionalising the field of IT security, e.g. with new job trainings and degree programmes
eliminate the buffer overflow - buffer overflows are easy to prevent, yet they still exist
making Operating Systems more resiliant against malware
raise security awareness among end users and developers of industrial systems
find methods to counter spear phishing
make cryptography usable, making computer more usable in general
stopping governments to undermine security with data retention, computer surveillance and other BS
finally: make security sexy :-)

Stefan Schumacher is president of the Magdeburger Institut für Sicherheitsforschung (Magdeburg Institute for Security Research) and co-editor of the institute's journal on security research. He has been a hacker for almost 20 years and even a NetBSD developer for some time. He studied educational science and psychology and researches information and organisational security with a focus on cyber war/cyber peace, security awareness and social engineering.
