I Heart My Robot Overlords Infosec Challenges in Emerging Technologies

I Heart My Robot Overlords Infosec Challenges in Emerging Technologies Dan Klinedinst Abstract: This talk describes some of the most important emerging technologies of the next 5 - 10 years and what information security challenges they will pose. This work is based on the CERT Coordination Center’s 2016 Emerging Technology Domains Risk Survey report, of which Dan is a co-author. (http://resources.sei.cmu.edu/library/asset-view.cfm?assetid=453809) This report identifies technologies that are both likely to become mainstream within the next decade (based on the Gartner Hype cycle), and likely to have security ramifications above and beyond those of traditional IT technologies. Some of the technologies we’ll discuss include Intelligent Transportations Systems, Autonomous Vehicles, Artificial Intelligence / Big Data, Virtual and Augmented Reality, Smart Robots, Smart Medical Devices and Human Augmentation, the Internet of Things, and more. Bio: Dan Klinedinst is a vulnerability researcher at Carnegie Mellon University's CERT Coordination Center. His work includes performing vulnerability analysis of government and critical infrastructure assets. He is currently focused on researching security vulnerabilities in autonomous vehicles, edge computing platforms and embedded devices. Prior to this role, he was the technical lead for developing a national scale penetration testing program for a major U.S. Government sponsor. Klinedinst is also the author of the Gibson3D visualization tool, a co-founder of the BSides Pittsburgh security conference, a frequent speaker at security events, and a former security engineer at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
