Incentives in cybersecurity

2016-2017/II.
Dr. Biczók Gergely

As evidenced in the last 10-15 years, cybersecurity is not a purely technical discipline. Decision-makers, whether sitting at security providers (IT companies), security demanders (everyone using IT) or the security industry, are mostly driven by economic incentives. Understanding these incentives are vital for designing systems that are secure in real-life scenarios [1].

 

The prospective student will identify a cybersecurity economics problem in the domain of cyber-warfare, cyber-insurance or sharing security-related information. The student will use elements of game theory and other domain-specific techniques and software tools to transform the problem into a model and to propose a solution.

 

Required skills: analytic thinking, good command of English, basic programming skills (e.g., python)

Preferred skills: basic knowledge of game theory
