CSAW 2021-Day 1

November 10, 2021 @ 10:00 am - 6:00 pm

The 18th Annual CSAW Cybersecurity Games and Conference begins five days of individual and team competitions, research presentations, plenary talks, and industry interactions. Opening day events include the opening of the Industry Fair,  and a preview of the presentations from the 2021 Applied Research Competition on display in poster form. Participating companies in the Industry Fair will include all the CSAW sponsors listed below.

Dr. Martin Otto, head of the Cybersecurity Research Group for Siemens Technology, will deliver the keynote address at noon, followed by a presentation from Dr. Johann Knechtel, a research scientist with the Design for Excellence Lab at  NYU Abu Dhabi. Knechtel’s talk will describe the challenging supply chain security issues in the design and production of integrated circuits. In particular, he will address how proactively hardening the IC design can hinder adversarial activities that may occur later on in the supply chain.

Later in the afternoon,  Dr. Siddharth Garg, an Institute Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at NYU Tandon, and  Dr. Sundeep Rangan, the associate director of NYU Wireless, will lead a talk on Security Challenges in 5G Wireless and Beyond. The 5G session will be followed by a presentation about the growing practice of utilizing artificial intelligence-based systems to automatically generate computer code delivered by Dr. Hammond Pearce, a post-doctoral research associate with the NYU Center for Cybersecurity.

Closing out the first day of the competition will be the presentation of this year’s Cyber Journalism Award. Dina Temple-Raston will be honored for her National Public Radio feature entitled A ‘worst nightmare’ cyberattack: The untold story of the SolarWinds hack.

Registration is free and one registration covers all five days of the competition. Go to https://survey.zohopublic.com/zs/j6zqEM to register.
