By Helen Wright, Manager, CRA-I At the Computing Research Association – Industry (CRA-I), we have launched a new initiative to explore two critical areas shaping the computing industry: enterprise cybersecurity and storage technologies. This project aims to generate key insights and recommendations that address specific challenges in both fields, ultimately guiding research and industry efforts […]
Moshe Y. Vardi, Computer Science Professor at Rice University and Senior Editor of Communications of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), wrote an article in the November 2022 issue of the Communications of the ACM magazine, Accountability and Liability in Computing. The article articulates his concerns for the slow progress and lack of conclusive knowledge on how to build secure information systems. Vardi speculates the issue is not due to a lack of technical advancements but a lack of incentives encouraging hardware security developments and solutions. It is becoming vital to address this “market failure” as we become more reliant on technical systems and become increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks.
In this article, CCC Council members and distinguished researchers share their thoughts on how the nation can lead embedded security research and education rather than follow and be surprised by the next medical device or automobile cybersecurity recall.
The Computing Community Consortium (CCC) will be sponsoring a visioning activity on Sociotechnical Cybersecurity. As a part of this effort, the workshop organizing committee has released a call for white papers in order to both assist us in organizing the workshop and in selecting attendees. Authors of informative and well-crafted white papers may be invited to the Sociotechnical Cybersecurity workshop.
