John Chuang, Associate Professor, UC Berkeley School of Information
Abstract:
Are we investing too little in information security? Are we investing too much? Since Anderson and Varian posed these questions in 2002, much progress has been made in understanding rational decision-making in information security. In this talk, I will discuss the challenges of applying risk management to security, highlight the public goods nature of interdependent security, explore the tradeoffs between protection and insurance, and motivate a new “weakest target” game to investigate the incentive dynamics of botnets and other classes of attacks.
Bio:

Google Tech Talk
December 3, 2009
ABSTRACT
Presented by Robert Edmonds, Eric Ziegast, and Paul Vixie.
ISC SIE (Security Information Exchange) is a trusted, private framework for information sharing in the Internet Security field. Participants can operate real time sensors that upload and/or inject live data to SIE, and other participants can subscribe to this data either in real time, or by query access, or by limited and anonymized download. While SIE began in 2007 with a method for collecting and sharing raw packet captures for Passive DNS in near real time, correlation with other data types and data sources was required. SIE needed a way to efficiently pass structured data between participating nodes in the loosely-coupled broadcast ethernet message bus. We would like to present why SIE selected Google Protocol Buffers, how we utilize the technology within SIE, and how security researchers can use the libraries (libnmsg), APIs and tools for real-time analysis of disparate data sources.

Siemens provides itegrated security and safety solutions for tunnelsIntelligent Video Security Solutions
As human observers find it very difficult to monitor the increasing number of video channels typical for todays surveillance systems, video sensory analysis has quickly become a key element in todays security applications.
Innovative digital product and system concepts centred on intelligent video analysis and sensor fusion allow the best possible coordination of system functionality with operator requirements, which becomes increasingly important for extensive and complex sites with varying security needs. The efficiency of security operations is enhanced by policy-based alarming, object identification, automatic flagging and preventive risk indication based on high-quality and reliable image analysis. These automated surveillance solutions allow security personnel to focus fully on critical situations, while the system supports decision making processes by providing critical information required to reliably detect, manage and prevent potential security breaches in real time.
Especially large sites with an extended perimeter typically represent a large number of video streams and other alarming/sensor devices. Ensuring the safety and security of these sites requires either a large number of personnel (guards or operators) or technology able to aggregate and filter available data to an extent that a single operator can handle and manage available information without fatigue.
Our security solutions assist security professionals with protecting human life, valuable assets and critical Infrastructure around the clock with high accuracy and short response times enabling security forces to prevent incidents before they occur. Our open systems architecture allows us to link to access control and intruder detection solutions for rooms, offices, buildings, even cities, enabling efficient control of interfaces.
Integrated Intelligent video security solutions are generally based on a combination of risk-appropriate protective measures. Siemens develops, produces and designs these measures against intrusion and attacks. User requirements analysis, capability description and project definition to project design, implementation, and commissioning, training and real life support services are all part of our offering.
Siemens with its global presence, know-how and experience provides the most appropriate solution that is operationally effective, cost-efficient, and rapidly implemented anywhere in the world.

Paul J. Cosgrave was appointed Commissioner of the Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications (DoITT) by Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg on June 14, 2006. Throughout his more than 30 years of experience in both the public and private sectors, Commissioner Cosgrave has devoted his career to using the power of technology to make people and the organizations they serve more effective. At DoITT, Commissioner Cosgrave is committed to ensuring that City services are transparent, accountable and accessible to all New Yorkers.
Among his accomplishments at DoITT is PlanIT: Better Government through Customer Service, the Citys first-ever comprehensive technology strategy for coordinated, effective and efficient citywide IT implementation. PlanIT builds on the Citys technology accomplishments during the Bloomberg Administration and creates a strategic approach to new initiatives going forward. With an overarching theme of customer service, PlanIT strives to change the focus of e-government to that which first and foremost serves the customer. Success to date has been achieved in a number of ways:
•The New York City Wireless Network (NYCWiN) represents an historic enhancement to public safety communications by enabling data transfer rates 50 times faster than before. It will give the Citys emergency responders high-speed data access to support large file transfers, fingerprints, mug shots, city maps, and full-motion, streaming video; and will also support a host of other public service applications that will provide a significant improvement over existing technologies.
•The Emergency Communications Transformation Program (ECTP), is a multi-year, multi-agency initiative to modernize virtually all aspects of the Citys Emergency 911 system—from the phone lines that carry 911 calls, to the facilities where those calls are handled, to the communications systems that dispatch first responders to an emergency. As a result, NYPD and FDNY staffs who handle emergency calls from the public—people who perform an incredibly important function—will for the first time be seated side-by-side under the same roof and use the same telephone system, greatly improving emergency communication and coordination.
•To improve information sharing across the City’s health and human services agencies, the City has created a new Health and Human Services Office (HHS Connect). Reporting to Deputy Mayor Linda Gibbs and housed at DoITT, HHS Connect connects the dots between clients, agencies, and providers to create a more client-centric approach to service delivery, increase the accessibility of information, and maximize the use of modern technologies.
Prior to his appointment, Commissioner Cosgrave served as the Executive Vice President for Crown Consulting, Inc., where he directed an Enterprise Architecture team to design the overall structure of the Next Generation Air Transportation System for the Federal Aviation Administration. Before that, he worked with Federal Department of Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta on the formation of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).
From 1998 to 2001, he served as Chief Information Officer at the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), an organization with an annual budget of $1.6 billion and a staff of 7,900, where he led a major restructuring and centralization of information systems. During his tenure at the IRS, he also facilitated the largest civilian Y2K conversion effort ($1.3 billion) and worked on designing a multi-billion dollar strategic modernization program aimed at improving core processing capabilities, streamlining operations, and introducing e-commerce services to taxpayers.
Prior to joining the IRS, Commissioner Cosgrave was the Chairman, President and CEO of the Claremont Technology Group, a start-up IT Company that he took public in 1996. Commissioner Cosgrave has served as Executive Board member for the Information Technology Association of America.
Commissioner Cosgrave earned a BS and MS in Industrial Engineering from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He is a native New Yorker, born in Flushing, Queens, and is the father of three grown children. He currently resides in lower Manhattan.

Financial Markets (ECON 252)
Technology and innovation underlie finance. In order to manage risks successfully, particularly long-term, we must pool large amounts of risk among many, diverse people and overcome barriers such as moral hazard and erroneous framing. Inventions such as insurance contracts and social security, and information technology all the way from such simple things as paper, and the postal service to modern computers have helped to manage risks and to encourage financial systems to address issues pertaining to risk. The tax and welfare system is one of the most important risk management systems.
