Objective and Scope
The aim of this workshop is to promote research aspects in internet security, familiarize with tools available for network scanning (anti-virus, anti-spam and anti-spyware scans), identify and synthesize needs for internet security techniques (firewall, honeypots etc.), share information and practical awareness for data and system protection from cyber-attacks (prevent, detect and respond) etc. The workshop will start with an overview of cybersecurity, information security and cryptography aspects to help the audience understand importance of these aspects in real life scenarios. This workshop is planned into two parts: technical session and handson session. The technical session part of the workshop will focus on the most challenging contemporary issues in cybersecurity (cyber threat, cyber incidents, cyber threat sharing, cyber technology evolution etc.), data science (collection, analysis and visualisation) and cryptography. The hands-on session part will extend the discussion to address the practical evaluation of security tools and techniques, machine learning for data analysis and data forensics, and implementation of cryptography primitives and protocols. After each session, a small group breakout session will be conducted where key topics from the current session are addressed with participants helping identify recent trends and research gaps. At the end of workshop, summary of key findings and takeaways will be presented.
Topics to be covered
Short Technical Session-I: Overview of Cybersecurity, its security architectures, and security implications and adoption of evolving technology.
Hands-on Session-I: Open Source Data Scanning and Security Tools (Nmap, Wireshark, OpenVAS, Security Onion)
Hands-on Session-II: Data Science and Python Machine Learning for Time Series Analysis (cybersecurity datasets, designing packet sniffer, preparing datasets, training-validating-testing datasets, reading datasets for data frame analysis, applying data analytics, visualising network and attack statistics)
Hands-on Session-III: Data Analysis, Forensics and Visualization (Tableau, statistical analysis, forensic algorithms (MD5, SHA256, SSDEEP etc.), analysing Window and Linux event logs, Python programming for network, virtualization, mobile and memory forensics, D shell, Scapy, Interactive data visualization (Node.js, D3.js, Chart.js and dc.js) and Visualization tools (ggplot, Bokeh, Plotly, Vega, MetricsGraphics etc.))
