[T38] Security Aspects in the Evolved IoT-Edge-Cloud Continuum Paradigm – Valeria Loscri

On Fri, Sep 27th, 2024, 2pm CET, we welcome Valeria Loscri from INRIA Lille, France for another edition of TALK.CYBERcni.fr on “Security Aspects in the Evolved IoT-Edge-Cloud Continuum Paradigm”. Share and join!

As our connected world expands with advanced services and applications, the IoT-Edge-Cloud Continuum has emerged as a key paradigm, seamlessly integrating IoT devices, edge computing, and cloud services. But with this evolution comes new security challenges, exposing vulnerabilities across heterogeneous devices. Valeria will dive into the security landscape of this paradigm, highlighting how IoT-device vulnerabilities can escalate into powerful attacks on higher layers of the continuum.

Abstract

Living in our perpetually connected world presents us with an abundance of novel advanced services and automated applications. In order to meet the increasing demand of advanced services and applications, significant activity has been dedicated in the recent years to build the IoT-Edge-Cloud Continuum paradigm. 

This paradigm shift comes with a change in the security landscape, enabling new and more powerful attacks relying on vulnerabilities of heterogeneous devices, where not all the devices cannot be with same level of security. 

It is paramount to analyze this new security landscape and estimate the potential impact of attacks at IoT-devices on the upper layers.

Valeria Loscri is researcher director in the FUN Team at Inria Lille (France), that she joined in 2013. From Dec. 2006 to Sept. 2013, she was Research Fellow in the TITAN Lab of the University of Calabria, Italy. She received her MSc and PhD degrees in Computer Science in 2003 and 2007, respectively, from the University of Calabria and her HDR (Habilitation à diriger des recherches) in 2018 from Université de Lille (France). Her research interests focus on emerging technologies for new communication paradigms such as Visible Light Communication (VLC), mmWave, cooperation and coexistence of wireless heterogeneous devices and cyber security in wireless networks. She is involved in the activity of several European Projects (Horizon Europe MLSysOps, H2020 CyberSANE, FP7 EU project VITAL, etc.).
She has been nominated to the 2021 Women Stars in Computer Networking and Communications Communications by the IEEE Communication Society. She is in the editorial board of IEEE COMST, Transactions on Information Forensics and Security, Elsevier ComNet, ComCom. She is serving as TPC members in several primary international conferences, such as IEEE ESORICS, IEEE CNS, IEEE INFOCOM, IEEE PerCom.
She is Action Chair and scientific Holder of BEiNG-WISE COST Action (since 2023). Since 2019, she is Scientific International Delegate for Inria Lille

About INRIA

Inria is the French national institute for research in digital science and technology, and since January 2024 has been responsible for the Agence de programmes dans le numérique (Digital Programs Agency), designed to strengthen the collective dynamics of higher education and research. Its DNA is based on world-class research, technological innovation and entrepreneurial risk. Within 220 project teams, most of which are shared with major research universities, more than 3,800 scientists are exploring new avenues, often in interdisciplinary collaboration with industrial partners, to meet ambitious challenges. As a technology institute, Inria supports a wide range of innovation paths: from open source software publishing to the creation of technology startups (Deeptech).

Talk.cybercni.fr

The Cyber CNI Lecture Series is a free monthly event that typically takes place on the last Friday of the month from 2pm to 3h30pm CET.

The Cyber CNI Speaker series aims to raise awareness and understanding of cyber security issues among all audiences. It aims to enable an ongoing dialogue between experts from industry and academia and the general public (citizens, families, small and large businesses, public organizations, etc.). All of us are concerned.

The events are broadcast live on Youtube (https://talk.cybercni.fr/) and LinkedIn, allowing worldwide remote participation – including a tool to participate in the discussion.

You can add the event calendar via ICS, webcal, HTML.

How the digital transformation is changing our lives

Our society relies more and more on information and operational technologies. Examples include water, energy, heat and cooling supply, communications, healthcare, production and processing of goods, transportation, national security, banking, research and education, and food production.

What all these areas have in common is that they make intensive use of networked distributed computer systems. These systems can be attacked in many ways. This is no longer just a problem for computer “pros” because computer systems are essential to all of us. The effects of “cyber-attacks” range from power outages to the collapse of the health care or banking sectors.
