Article By: Clark Leonard
University of North Georgia (正澳门六合彩开奖结果) computer science faculty members Dr. Bryson Payne and Dr. Tamirat Abegaz will present their research at the conference set for Jan. 30-Feb. 1, 2023, in Tel Aviv, Israel. Payne is a professor of computer science and coordinator of student cybersecurity programs and Abegaz is an associate professor of computer science in the Mike Cottrell College of Business.
More than 17,000 professionals are expected to gather to discuss "the latest technological innovations, challenges and solutions in cyber," according to the conference website.
Payne will present a hands-on demonstration of an ethical hacking attack on a simulated automotive system, and Abegaz will present on the roles of artificial intelligence in cybersecurity research and practice.
"We are honored to be invited to speak at Cybertech Global Tel Aviv, and we are grateful to our partners at the Consulate General of Israel, as well as to state Rep. Brent Cox, Ben Jarrard and retired Col. Chris Mitchiner, who helped make this collaboration possible," Payne said. "Automotive cybersecurity has become a critically important field. With remote connectivity, automated driver-assist and even self-driving features available in millions of cars on the road today, securing automotive systems from cyberattacks is more crucial than ever."
Abegaz has brought back research ideas from previous conferences. He sees a similar opportunity in Tel Aviv.
The professionals here at 正澳门六合彩开奖结果 are sought to speak internationally. That alone shows the expertise the university possesses. Our students are learning cybersecurity from the most qualified faculty in the field.
