"Since 1980, the IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy has been the premier forum for presenting developments in computer security and electronic privacy, and for bringing together researchers and practitioners in the field. Following this story of success, IEEE initiated the European Symposium on Security and Privacy (EuroS&P), which is organized every year in a European city."
"Since 1980, the IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy has been the premier forum for presenting developments in computer security and electronic privacy, and for bringing together researchers and practitioners in the field. The 2025 Symposium will mark the 46th annual meeting of this flagship conference."
"IEEE MILCOM 2024 technical program consists of rigorously peer-reviewed technical papers, selected tutorials, workshops, and technical panels on current and emerging topics applicable to all facets of military communications."
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to cybersecurity.
"The annual IEEE Green Technologies Conference was conceived by IEEE Region 5 in 2008 to address the challenges of securing energy needs for the future. Recent advancements in machine learning, pattern recognition, and artificial intelligence have expanded the horizon beyond energy and include industry 4.0, green computing, transportation, agriculture, et cetera. In line with these advancements, GreenTech 2025 intends to bring experts in secure and sustainable systems to share their findings."
Prof. Dan (Linda) Lin of Vanderbilt University received the 2024 IEEE Big Data Security Senior Research Award. This prestigious award, established in 2019, is presented annually to one individual who has made outstanding and sustained research contributions in Big Data Security and Privacy for over 10 years.
A team of computer scientists from the University of California San Diego and Northeastern University found that high-end bicycles used for high-profile road races are vulnerable to cyberattacks targeting their wireless gear-shifting system. Bicycle manufacturers have increasingly implemented wireless gear-shifting technology, giving riders better control over changing gears. How these wireless systems have been developed has created critical cybersecurity vulnerabilities.
Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther recently announced that hackers recently stole data from Ohio’s largest city, but what they got was not usable and no personal information about city workers was made available online. The mayor noted that the city never received a ransom request. The city learned that most of the data published to the dark web by the ransomware group Rhysida was corrupted or encrypted. The ransomware group claimed to have 6.5 terabytes of stolen data, including log-in information, emergency service files, and city camera access.
AutoCanada, a major Canadian car dealership, recently announced that it was affected by a cyberattack that may result in some disruptions. The incident was discovered on August 11 and impacted some internal IT systems. The company noted that the investigation is ongoing and that the full scope, nature, impact of the incident, and whether customer, supplier, or employee data has been accessed is still unknown. AutoCanada operates 70 dealerships in Canada and 18 in Illinois, in the United States, selling tens of thousands of new and used vehicles every year.
Kevin Leach, a Science of Security Virtual Institute Principal Investigator, and James Weimer, both researchers from Vanderbilt University, have been awarded a $2 million contract from the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H). Their project, “BALAM-D: Binary Analysis Lodestar for Assuring Medical Devices,” focuses on improving software security in medical devices like insulin pumps and pacemakers.
