A talk presented by the IEEE Women in Engineering Ottawa:

Cybersecurity  Evaluation and Assurance for IoT-Enabled Systems

Date: April 8th, 2019

Time: 6:00 to 7:30 PM

Location: 4359 Mackenzie Building, Carleton University

Registration: email to RSVP: anastassiagharib@ieee.org



Abstract
The advent of the Internet of Things (IoT) has enabled the development of systems capable of collecting and processing vast amounts of data to enhance system operation and/or to predict or tailor user experiences. The development, adoption, and evolution of systems with more complex software and increased connectivity enabled by IoT technologies has led to a new frontier of cybersecurity vulnerabilities from which such systems were previously shielded. As a result, there is an ever-growing need to evaluate and assure the cybersecurity of IoT-enabled systems, and the information that they use, store, and communicate, in the face of cyber-attacks and failures.

In this talk, Dr. Jaskolka will explore the growing range of complex challenges faced when evaluating and assuring the cybersecurity of IoT-enabled systems. Dr. Jaskolka will also discuss the opportunities that this presents in developing new and innovative ways to engineer more secure and trustworthy IoT-enabled systems. In particular, Dr. Jaskolka will present recent advances in addressing system-level cybersecurity evaluation and assurance using an example IoT-enabled system.



Speaker Bio
Dr. Jason Jaskolka is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Systems and Computer Engineering at Carleton University, Ottawa, ON, Canada. He received his Ph.D. in Software Engineering in 2015 from McMaster University, Hamilton, ON, Canada. His research interests include cybersecurity evaluation and assurance, security-by-design, and formal methods and algebraic approaches for software and security engineering. He is interested in applying his research to critical infrastructures, cyber-physical and distributed systems, and the Internet of Things (IoT).

Call for Volunteers - IEEE Ottawa Robotics Competition 2019

Arduinos, 3D printing, networking with professionals, Lego Mindstorms, Lego displays, FREE LUNCH … what more can you ask for?

The IEEE Ottawa Robotics Competition (ORC) is Ottawa’s largest non-profit robotics competition for students from Grades 5 to 12, that attracts 500+ attendees annually.


To enrich your volunteering portfolio, to network with industry professionals, to apply for future leadership positions within our organization, and to inspire the next generation of STEM leaders, sign up NOW as a volunteer at http://orc.ieeeottawa.ca/volunteering. Mark your calendars for this year’s competition, Sunday June 2nd, 2019! All you need to be a great volunteer is enthusiasm and a contagious smile; no programming/robotics knowledge required.

Check out a previous competition at http://bit.ly/ORC2016OTTCITIZEN. Students design and build robots to compete in a day filled with exciting Lego Mindstorms and Arduino challenges. One of our most popular challenges, Sumo wrestling involves a UFC-style fight between two robots!

For more information on the ORC, please visit http://orc.ieeeottawa.ca or email us at orcinfo@ieeeottawa.ca.

Thank you for your time.
