2 About the Summit The 2008 GTISC Security Summit on Emerging Cyber Security Threats is the sixth security summit hosted at Georgia Tech since The summits began as an effort to engage the broader community in the Atlanta area and at the national level to better understand threats to digital information and to develop strategies for securing it. The summits bring together thought leaders in the information technology and security fields to explore key cyber security threats and ways for countering them. The annual GTISC Security Summit has evolved into one of the most forward-looking cyber security events, with a focus on emerging threats that you and your company should be prepared to recognize and respond. This is not a product-focused meeting. Instead, more than 250 attendees from academia, government and industry gather to discuss emerging cyber threats and explore potential solutions. Past GTISC Security Summits have addressed issues in VoIP security, identity management, wireless security and the role of regulation in addressing threats like spam. This year, our keynote speaker and panelists will look ahead to discuss and debate threats and vulnerabilities that will emerge or become serious problems over the next few years. The 2008 GTISC Security Summit on Emerging Cyber Security Threats also marks the second issuance of the annual GTISC Emerging Cyber Threats Report for the year ahead.

6 Wenke Lee Wenke Lee, associate computer science professor in the Georgia Tech Information Security Center, focuses on systems and network security and is motivated by the challenges of building effective and efficient intrusion detection and response systems. His research in intrusion detection involves developing algorithms for automating the process of feature extraction and model construction, studying the theories and techniques of anomaly detection, building highspeed sensors that are scalable with networking technologies, and designing new algorithms and system architectures for emerging environments and applications such as mobile ad hoc networks. Lee is motivated by the need to make security services work together seamlessly. His work involves developing techniques for integrating network management and intrusion detection, and algorithms for alert correlation and scenario analysis. Lee also is studying new and emerging threats, such as internet worms, and developing techniques to counter these threats. He earned a bachelor s degree in computer science at Sun Yat-Sen University in Guangzhou, China, and a Ph.D. in computer science from Columbia University.

7 Morris Moore Morris Moore is vice president of security technology in Motorola s Applied Research and Technology Center, where he is responsible for research in security technology.
