Abhilasha Bhargav-Spantzel, "Fearless Computing"




CERIAS Weekly Security Seminar - Purdue University show

Summary: “Wouldn’t it be great if we could download anything, explore anything and build anything without the annoying feeling that you are going to get hacked?”   This was a question from my kids, who are currently in elementary school. Have you experienced similar questions from kids and adults alike? Computing is becoming such an integral part of our lives, wouldn’t it be great to use compute resources fully for all aspects of our lives. This includes work, education, healthcare and finance; be creative and innovate without the constant fear of backlash? This is what we mean by fearless computing: where we investigate how the very design of compute has security and privacy features built into the design of the platform. We will also explore how through education and awareness we can help nurture the freedom of thought and innovation to not only protect ourselves but create a cyber talent that builds the next generation systems and solutions. Join us for a discussion on the technology and solutions that helps us work towards our vision for fearless computing.
