ICC • Faculty research • CERT capacity building in Africa • Intrusion tolerance • Insider threat • Smart grid security • Building community of interest • Workshops on Cyber Security and Global Affairs • Oxford (09), Zurich (10), Budapest (May 31 – June 2, Budapest) • Breakfast sessions at Mason • Cloud Security and Compliance • International Cyber Security
What is a CERT • Computer Emergency Response Team. • Computer Emergency Readiness Team. • IDS/IPS – Alerts and Warnings. • Signatures. • Anomaly. • Behavioral. • Incident handling. • Forensic evidence collection. • Tracking or tracing. • Incident response. • Situational awareness. • Information sharing. • Remediation. • Vulnerability handling. • Vulnerability analysis . • Vulnerability response.
Top Ten Countries (Cyber Crime Perpetrators) 1. United States 66.1% 2. United Kingdom 10.5% 3. Nigeria 7.5% 4. Canada 3.1% 5. China 1.6% 6. South Africa 0.7% 7. Ghana 0.6% 8. Spain 0.6% 9. Italy 0.5% 10. Romania 0.5%
Why Should we Care? • Cybercrime has international scope • Cyber security has an economic impact • Credit vs debit cards • Carrier payment constraints • National reputation • Our solutions are not working • Constraints in Africa are similar to those in small town America and Europe
Potential for Technology Leapfrogging • Cyber security solutions combine • Process • People • Technology • Cloud computing • Centralized vs Distributed • Efficient use of skilled manpower • Policy Implementation • Cloud security??
