Just like the evil market of Cybercrime, Digital Forensic is a fast-growing field with a significant demand both for skilled professionals and smart researchers.
Whether we consider “traditional” crime or information security breaches, stalking or cyber attacks, we note that culprits leave behind a huge amount of digital traces, frequently much more digital than physical traces. Following those traces and turning them into court evidence is the business of digital investigators and forensic scientists.
The European Network for Cybersecurity (NECS) was formed in response to the increased need of highly qualified experts. It addresses the issues of training and development of talented junior researchers as indicated in the European Cyber-security strategy and highlighted in the EC’s Digital Agenda.
This course introduces the students to general issues of ethics and professionalism as they apply in a cyber security context, as well as the main relevant laws at European level, including data protection (GDPR) and the NIS directive.
We will have our next Webex seminar on Wednesday 1st of February.
The speakers will be:
- Sandeep Gupta (UNITN)- Attack vectors and cyber threats- A study
- Ganbayar Uuganbayar (CNR)- Risk assessment for cyber-insurance
The Wednesday, 2nd of November Salman Manzoor from Technische Universitaet Darmstadt (TUD), gave the talk called “Security risk measurement & SLAs” addressed to researchers on cybersecurity community.
The course is particularly recommended to ESRs in the risk mangement workpackage as it has been taylored to people with a Computer Science Background. Professor WIlliams will also discuss with you key project ideas in terms of security risks.
The International School on Foundations of Security Analysis and Design (FOSAD) will held its 16th edition from 29th August to 3rd of September at the University Residential Center of Bertinoro as in the previous editions.
Cybercamp 2015 is the meeting place for young talents, families, entrepreneurs and anyone interested in cybersecurity. It was held in the BarclayCard Center of the Community of Madrid from 27 to 29 November.
Carmen Gago, postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Languages and Computer Science of the University of Malaga, gave a talk in Cybercamp last Sunday, 28th November to explain how NeCS will create an active research and training community in Europe for Cyber Security.
