Cyber Security Technical Panel Kathleen Kramer
Introduction to Cyber Security Panel • Vision of the panel is to serve as a hub of AESS cyber security activities, to highlight and promote awareness of activities, technical understanding, and developments in this increasingly important field. • The panel promotes and supports cyber security technical interests, technical articles and conference activities, and educational activities in those aspects of cyber security most relevant to complex systems for space, air, ocean, or ground environments. • The purpose of the panel is currently stated as “to promote the creation of standard terminology and specification formats, to promulgate understanding of the impact of cyber security in industry and government and to define resultant policy requirements.” It is said to be organized into three separate committees. [Urgently in need of revision.]
Cyber Security Panel • Cyber & Panel Roles (Bob/Ron) • What standards should panel support? • Conferences – DASC and ICNS • What are best AESS-related fora to share developments? -Focus for 2015: clarify mission; reinvigorate panel. • Recent Activities • Members include Bill Walsh and Mike Davis • AESS Conferences and cyber security with VP Conferences • DASC involvement • IEEE Cybersecurity Initiative • Near-Term Goals and Objectives • Reframe charter • Hold 2 meetings/year • - Increase AESS reputation • and identify contributions • Conferences, Meetings, Activities
AESS Conferences and Cyber Security • Cyber Security is not central theme or name-related to an AESS conference, but often related topics are • Selecting 1-2 AESS conferences to co-locate with panel meetings • DASC has related sessions and panel chair is involved with organization • ICNS was selected as most suitable for a second conference • Based upon topics and tracks of current AESS conferences (consulted with VP conferences)
IEEE Cybersecurity Initiative • Pre-Council IEEE body (idea is to become like Systems Council, Sensors Council) • cybersecurity.ieee.org/ • Links to various non-IEEE cyber security reports, publications and conferences • Web calls for participation in related standards • IEEE Cybersecurity Interest Group in San Diego (large, 18 months old, only IG) • Which technical societies are currently involved? • Computer Society (overwhelmingly the most significant society involvement) • numerous conferences • SC Magazine and IEEE Transactions on Dependable and Secure Computing (TDSC) • Society Technical Committee on Security and Privacy (Cipher) • Center for Secure Design • Communications Society • Technical co-sponsor on cyber security related computer society activities • IEEE Conference on Communications and Network Security (CNS) • Consumer Electronics Society, Reliability Society • Other IEEE societies have related interests (including special issues) but little evidence of involvement this initiative (Signal Processing, Vehicular Technology)
