Topic: Information Warfare from a hacker's point of view.
Experts say we are in the middle of a cyber war and we are losing. This presentation will look at the conflict from the hacker's viewpoint. Hackers today have a large array of tools and support information to help them carry out their attacks. In this presentation we will look at the processes used by hackers to locate target, identify weaknesses, exploit vulnerabilities and create havoc. Issues of privacy, data protection, and common misconceptions will also be addressed. In addition Mr. Jocobson will provide an overview of the ISEAGE test bed which is designed to help study information security.
Presenter: Mr. Doug Jocobson
Mr. Jocobson is a University Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Iowa State University. Doug is currently the director of the Iowa State University Information Assurance Center, which has been recognized by the National Security Agency as a charter Center of Academic Excellence for Information Assurance Education.
