2020 has been an interesting year for organising a conference. Nevertheless, the 6th Interdisciplinary Cyber Research (#ICR2020) conference will persist and take place in a semi-online format.

7th of December 2020 in Tallinn, Estonia
TalTech MEKTORY

Authors can either present their research in a live stream conference (if present in Tallinn and allowed by public health guidelines) or via a pre-recorded video + live Q&A. The event will be live-streamed to the audience online.

This will result in an exciting day filled with fascinating keynotes, thought provoking presentations of new research, workshops and networking opportunities with experts and researchers in the field of cyber security, information and communication technology, political and social sciences, and law.

The aim of the event is to bring together young as well as established scholars undertaking research in various disciplines related to information and communication technologies such as computer sciences, political and social sciences, and law.

The event is organised with the support of TalTech CyberCentre.

Interview with Dr Joe Burton in Novaator (in Estonian).

Keynote speakers

• Dr Joe Burton, University of Waikato, Marie Curie Fellow at Université libre de Bruxelles - “Security Cultures and Cyber Warfare” 

Abstract

Cyber security culture normally refers to the culture of organisations and how aware and responsive they are to cyber security risks and threats. Drawing on the strategic culture literature, this presentation identifies and critically examines a number of wider and larger security cultures that have had an outsized and underappreciated influence on cyber defence as well as the development and use of offensive cyber capabilities.  In particular, the presentation examines the interrelationship between hacker culture, military culture, and corporate cyber security culture and how ideas, behaviours and security practices in these transnational communities have contributed to a dangerous and unstable international cyber security environment.

BIO

Dr Joe Burton is a Senior Lecturer in International Security at the New Zealand Institute for Security and Crime Science, University of Waikato, New Zealand.  He holds a Doctorate in International Relations and a Master of International Studies degree from the University of Otago and an undergraduate degree in International Relations from the University of Wales, Aberystwyth.  Joe is the recipient of the US Department of State SUSI Fellowship, the Taiwan Fellowship, and has been visiting researcher at the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence (CCDCOE).  He is the author of NATO's Durability in a Post-Cold War World (SUNY Press 2018) editor of the new Routledge volume, Emerging Technologies and International Security: Machines, the State and War (Routledge 2020) and his work has been published in Asian Security, Defence Studies, Political Science and with a variety of other leading academic publishers.  Joe is currently a Marie Curie fellow (MSCA-IF) at Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB) completing the two-year European Commission-funded project Strategic Cultures of Cyber Warfare (CYBERCULT).  He also coordinates the CYDIPLO Jean Monnet Network, which examines the emerging practice of cyber diplomacy.

• Dr Aarthi Krishna, freelance cyber security expert - "Diving into the CISO’s mind" 

Abstract

The CISO in today’s large organization is more than just a security manager. This multifaceted role has evolved over the years from being only technically focused to highly business-focused. CISOs today have found their way to the boardroom and are increasing reporting directly to the CEO. This talk will give an overview of what some of the major focus areas are for the CISOs today. It will highlight how driving strategic initiatives within an organization is a constant balancing act with operational management.

BIO

Dr Aarthi Krishna is an experienced information security specialist who has been working in security for over two decades in different areas including research, consulting and business development. In her most recent role, she was the head of the Security Advisory Services practice for Europe at BT Global, UK where she was responsible for working closely with the security leadership teams of large global clients ensuring the successful delivery of security engagements while growing the business by building a portfolio that meets the needs of the local markets.  Aarthi holds a PhD in IT Security from Macquarie University, Australia, a master’s degree with focus on IT Security from the Technical University of Hamburg, Germany and a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of Madras, India. She currently lives in Tallinn, Estonia with her husband and their high-energy daughter.  

• Prof Samuel Pagliarini, Department of Computer Systems, Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech) - "Trust your hardware (but not really!)"

Abstract

In this talk, prof Pagliarini will address some of the most well known vulnerabilities studied in the domain of Hardware Security. Threats such as piracy of integrated circuits, side-channel attacks, and hardware trojan horses will be introduced, as well as the means to guarantee trustworthiness in the circuits (and systems) that are targeted by these threats. Finally, a discussion between the similarities (and differences) between cyber security and hardware security will be presented. 

BIO

Dr Pagliarini is a professor in the Department of Computer Systems at TalTech (Tallinn, Estonia) where he also leads the the Centre for Hardware Security. He received an MSc degree from UFRGS (Porto Alegre, Brazil) and a PhD degree from Telecom ParisTech (Paris, France). He has also held research appointments at Carnegie Mellon University (Pittsburgh, PA) and at the University of Bristol (Bristol, UK). His work has been funded by several grants from the NSF, AFRL, DARPA, IARPA, the European Commission, and ETAg. His current research interests are mainly focused on integrated circuit design and related security aspects.

ICR2019 (the 5th Interdisciplinary Cyber Research conference) is organised with the support of TalTech Centre for Digital Forensics and Cyber Security. The event is held at the Tallinn University of Technology, Estonia on the 29th of June 2019. The aim of the conference is to bring together young as well as established scholars undertaking research in various disciplines related to information and communication technologies such as computer sciences, political and social sciences, and law.

29th of June, 2019 — Tallinn, Estonia
Tallinna Tehnikaülikool/Tallinn University of Technology,  Akadeemia tee 3, rooms 209&211

Last years’ events have been a great success with conference boasting each year around 25 speakers from 10 countries, together with 150+ participants. 

This year’s conference follows the familiar interdisciplinary format. Our aim is to promote sharing and discussing novel research across different domains, thereby allowing for the creation of new synergies as well as being informed and inspired by “cyber”-research carried out by other disciplines than your own. Foremost, the conference offers a friendly and forward-thinking environment for getting feedback on your ideas from an international pool of researchers. The conference will be running in parallel sessions dedicated to more specific research areas, each session being chaired by established scholars and professionals.

You can participate as a speaker (submitting an abstract+delivering a presentation) or simply join our wonderful audience. Speakers are requested to submit a 1000-word abstract. Abstracts should explain the relevance of the research, outline principle research questions, and expected or achieved results together with your research methods. In addition to young researchers and scholars, we welcome student submissions based on Master or PhD thesis research (and bachelor level students are very welcome to join in as audience). All authors will get feedback from our distinguished peer reviewers and selected authors are invited to present their ideas at the workshop. All selected abstracts will be published as workshop proceedings by Tallinn University of Technology (with an ISBN number). Selected authors are also invited to submit their research as an academic article for established academic journals, subject to additional review process.
