Event Details:

Join us for a special TIM Lecture series evening focusing on three collaborations enabling Cybersecurity:

• Dr. Deborah Frincke, Director of Research, National Security Agency/CSS, will talk about how the NSA supports U.S. decision makers and armed forces by partnering with academia, industry, and other government elements at all levels.

These partnerships are essential to solving worldwide scientific and technical challenges, especially in cybersecurity. You will learn how NSA leverages diverse, interdisciplinary collaborations across the science community to protect the U.S. and its partners.

• Research and dissemination through the publication of a “Best of TIM Review” eBook on Cybersecurity. Co-edited by Dan Craigen (CSE/Carleton University) and Ibrahim Gedeon (TELUS), and a foreword by Eros Spadotto (Executive Vice-President Technology Strategy, TELUS), the eBook includes 15 articles drawn from the five special TIM Review issues on Cybersecurity.

• Entrepreneurial cybersecurity activities, by drawing upon a small collection of companies belonging to the recently announced Lead To Win Cybersecurity Hub (LTW Cyber). Representatives from these companies will give brief presentations on their offerings.

About the Speaker:
As the NSA/CSS Director of Research, Dr. Deborah Frincke leads the NSA/CSS Research Directorate, the only “in-house” research organization in the U.S. Intelligence Community, to create breakthroughs in mathematics, science, and engineering that support and enable the NSA/CSS.

As a world science and technology leader, the Research Directorate engages with leading industries, universities, and national laboratories to both advance core competencies and to leverage work in overlapping disciplines. Through NSA’s Technology Transfer Program, the Directorate licenses and shares internally developed technologies with industry, academia, and other government agencies. Dr. Frincke\'s research spans a broad cross section of computer security, both open and classified, with a particular emphasis on infrastructure defense and computer security education.

Dr. Frincke has been a member of several editorial boards, including: Journal of Computer Security, the Elsevier International Journal of Computer Networks, and the International Journal of Information and Computer Security. She co-edits a Board column for IEEE Security and Privacy. She is a steering committee member for Recent Advances in Intrusion Detection (RAID) and Systematic Advances in Digital Forensic Engineering (SADFE). Dr. Frincke received her PhD from the University of California, Davis in 1992.
