On Wednesday, March 6, the UC Berkeley Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity (CLTC) and CNA’s Institute for Public Research hosted a session at the 28th annual RSA Conference (RSAC), one of the world’s largest information technology security conferences, at the Moscone Center, in San Francisco. The session, “Future of Cybersecurity Scenarios:…
This report was published by the UC Berkeley Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity in partnership with researchers from the Internet of Things Privacy Forum. The report provides an overview of some of the key privacy issues resulting from the expansion of the IoT, as well as emerging frameworks that could help policymakers and corporate leaders reduce potential harms through regulation and product design.
Recorded on November 10, 2021, this video features a conversation between Steven Weber, Faculty Director of the University of California, Berkeley’s Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity, and Kate Charlet, Director for Data Governance at Google, addressing a wide range of questions related to how organizations can “future-proof” themselves in a dynamic security and privacy landscape.
The proliferation of automated decision-making systems has yielded much commercial success, but the potential of such systems to systematically generate biased decisions threatens to exacerbate the vulnerability of certain subgroups. Especially as the aim of machine learning algorithms shifts from making predictions for consumption by humans to making the very…
Regulators and product makers need to do more to protect consumer data in the Internet of Things (IoT), as the rapid proliferation of web-connected devices is leading to the potentially irreversible erosion of our personal privacy. That is among the key findings of a new research report, Privacy and the Internet of Things: Emerging Frameworks for Policy and Design, published by the UC Berkeley Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity in partnership with researchers from the Internet of Things Privacy Forum.
Security vulnerabilities pose a grave danger to the integrity of any system because they can undermine almost any protection mechanism organizations put in place to defend themselves against potential attacks. As such, finding vulnerabilities before the software gets deployed or after putting software in production is a critical task in…
In the United States, people are increasingly turning to online sources to find information about elections. Election information includes everything from mail-in ballot instructions to candidate Facebook page posts. In the U.S., as well as around the world, online misinformation threatens democratic systems. Politicians, technology companies, journalists, and voters all…
