* '''TITLE:''' &nbsp;''The Fundamental Reasons Information Technological Systems are Insecure'' <br/>'''SPEAKER:''' &nbsp;''Prof. Yvo Desmedt''&nbsp; (University of Texas at Dallas)<br/>'''ABSTRACT:''' <br />To achieve cyber security, we need besides research and education, implementations, but even more important are deployment and proper regulations.  The lecture surveys the state of the art in these five aspects of real life cyber security. Although we see a lot of research in the field, its impact might be smaller than ever before. For example, we see a lot of research on privacy, but the population at large is indifferent to the almost total loss of privacy. Regulations that have been put in place are often ineffective (such as the one of the EU regarding cookies). Worse, deregulation has made the West so vulnerable that hackers from a Chinese IP address stole information about all US federal employees. The lecture concludes with some positive notes and surveys positive applications of cyber security technology and the impact of education.
