Experts Weigh In On Shrinking Female Cybersecurity Workforce

In a blog posted on 26 May by editor in chief Kathy Pretz in IEEE Roundup, two experts in cybersecurity discuss ways to boost the number of women engineers. To give some perspective, females comprised only 11% of the 2013 information security work populace. According to the largest organization certifying cyberprofessionals, that percentage has now dropped to 10%. The field of information security desperately needs more specialists, in general, so this modest drop is of concern to the experts.

Doug Maughan ActiveCyber Interview Discusses DETER: ‘Dynamic Defense Research Infrastructure’

In an online article published on April 21 by cyber defense site ActiveCyber.net, Dr. Douglas Maughan who is the Cyber Security Division Director in the Homeland Security Advanced Research Projects Agency (HSARPA) – within the Science and Technology (S&T) Directorate of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) – sat down with ActiveCyber founder Chris Daly to answer some questions on cyber research programs within HSARPA and plans to tackle evolving cyber threats.

Cyber-physical System Experimentation Using DETER

DeterLab provides the capability to conduct risk evaluations of cyber-physical systems where the controllable variables range from IP level dynamics to introduction of malicious entities such as DDoS attacks. I recently co-authored an article published in the IEEE Magazine that discusses how the cyber aspects and the physical aspects of such systems can be integrated together to provide a CPS risk assessment environment.
