Cybersecurity Research Frontiers: From Binary Analysis to Network Defense

Defending the modern digital landscape requires more than just firewalls—it demands automated reasoning, advanced binary analysis, and next-generation vulnerability management. Join the ASU Center for Cybersecurity and Digital Forensics for an intensive session on the future of offensive and defensive security research.

Distinguished Speakers We are honored to host leading experts in the field:

Prof. Gail-Joon Ahn: Professor, SCAI; Director, Center for Cybersecurity and Digital Forensics
Prof. Adam Doupé: Associate Professor, SCAI; Associate Director, Center for Cybersecurity and Digital Forensics
Prof. Yan Shoshitaishvili: Associate Professor, SCAI; Expert in binary analysis and cyber reasoning systems
Adil Ahmad, Hokeun Kim, & Michel Kinsy: Faculty experts in systems and security
PhD Researchers from ASU cybersecurity labs

Research Highlights This session will cover the full spectrum of modern cybersecurity challenges:

1) Vulnerability & Risk: Explore authentication, access control, and formal models for computer security with Prof. Ahn.
2) Automated Analysis: Dive into web security and automated vulnerability detection with Prof. Doupé, and discover how Prof. Shoshitaishvili is pioneering human-computer collaboration through autonomous cyber reasoning systems.
3) Next-Gen Frontiers: Learn about emerging threats in FutureG wireless networks, IoT security, and AI-driven mobile defense from our panel of experts and PhD students.

Whether your interest lies in reverse engineering, government defense sectors, or the startup ecosystem, this event provides a roadmap to high-level cybersecurity careers and the DoD Center of Excellence opportunities.
