[March 7th] IEEE Ottawa Lunch and Learn Presents: "Catching Bad Guys with Math" by Stephan Jou (CTO, Interset)
There is a lot of buzz about the potential of data science, machine learning and analytics in cyberattack and advanced persistent threat (APT) threat detection, but what are the techniques and tools in use and working in the real world? Properly implemented, data science can be a highly effective tool against APT, cyberattacks, and fortify an organization's interior defense. Stephan Jou leads the technology and data science teams at Interset, a leading edge Ottawa company that has developed an award-winning solution, based on machine learning, to detect and prevent cyberattacks. This seminar shall describe the feature engineering, mathematical models, visualizations, development techniques and open source tools in real world implementations developed over the past two years, illustrated through four real-world customer examples. The information and techniques will be presented with visualizations, real (anonymized) data, and accessible descriptions of the mathematics, so that deep experience in statistics or mathematics is not required. Attendees will learn about how data science has been used to detect data theft from a manufacturing company, insider theft in a military defense contractor, system admin data loss in a life sciences company, and compromised account detection in a media company.

[April, Registration Opening Soon!] IEEE Ottawa Lunch and Learn Presents: "Internet of Things - Things You Need to Know" by Walter Knitl (Principal, Praxiem)
The Internet of Things (IoT) is upon us and with it the beginnings of the biggest techno-socio-economic paradigm shift since the printing press. It will touch us all irrespective of our sphere of endeavour or way of life. It's poised to deliver great benefits, but also some cautionary side effects. So what is it? The answer is likely coloured by your background, biases and your first touchpoints with IoT, resulting in many siloed perspectives. Individual silos may separately hold that IoT is mainly about sensors, or data, or 5G, or machine learning, or security risk, or social risk, and so on. A hardware designer's silo is different from the data scientist's, which is different from that of the government policy wonk. Ever hear of "to a hammer everything's a nail" or "six blind men and the elephant" - it also applies to IoT. This seminar breaks down the siloes by exploring the full IoT space through its several dimensions, and its impacts.
Looking for volunteers: Ottawa Humanitarian Initiatives
The Ottawa section Special Interest Group on Humanitarian Technology (SIGHT) would like to re-start its activities and is looking for volunteers for the following roles: chair, vice-chair, treasurer, secretary/communications. Membership is free to all IEEE members: http://bit.ly/SIGHT-NewMbr IEEE’s Special Interest Group on Humanitarian Technology (SIGHT) provides IEEE members with the opportunity to work on impactful humanitarian activities at the local level; often, this work is done in collaboration with SIGHT’s large network of volunteers around the world. IEEE SIGHT focuses on sustainable solutions that make a long-term difference in the lives of people. SIGHT operates through local volunteers and partners working with local communities. Membership in IEEE SIGHT is available to all customers at no additional charge.
If you are interested, please contact the outgoing group chair, Alfredo Herrera (alfredo.herrera@ieee.org).
