Talk 1, to be held on July 18, is titled, ‘Beyond Cybersecurity - Behavioral Approaches to Information Assurance’. While many people know about aspects of cybersecurity such as hackers and viruses, there is much more beyond these under the umbrella of Information Assurance (IA). IA concerns operations that protect information systems by ensuring availability, integrity, authentication, confidentiality and nonrepudiation. In addition, it brings to attention human nature which is now a legitimate part of the study of cyber security. In this talk, Prof. Raghav Rao will touch upon various behavioral aspects of IA through anecdotes. This will be of interest to academics and professionals from all walks of industry.
Talk 2, to be held on July 19, is titled, ‘Preparing for Publishing in Top Journals - Some Thoughts’. Publishing in top journals has a lot to do with the research stream that is chosen. Candidates aspire to choose a stream that has not been over saturated or one that is a great fit for the researcher’s natural skills and talents. In this seminar, Prof. Raghav Rao will articulate his views on what to look out for in choosing an interesting research problem followed by some examples from his own past and current research. This will be of big value to young researchers.
