Facing increasingly sophisticated attacks from external adversaries, networked systems owners have to judiciously allocate their limited security budget to reduce their cyber risks. However, when modeling human decision-making, behavioral economics has shown that humans consistently deviate from classical models of decision-making. Most notably, prospect theory, for which Kahneman and Tversky won the 2002 Nobel memorial prize in economics, argues that humans perceive gains, losses and probabilities in a skewed manner. Furthermore, bounded rationality and imperfect best-response behavior has been frequently observed in human decision-making within the domains of behavioral economics and psychology. While there is a rich literature on these human decision-making factors in economics and psychology, most of the existing work studying ​ security of networked systems does not take into account these biases and noises. In this talk, we show our proposed novel behavioral security game models for the study of human decision-making in networked systems modeled by attack graphs. We show that behavioral biases lead to suboptimal resource allocation patterns. We also analyze the outcomes of protecting multiple isolated assets with heterogeneous valuations via decision- and game-theoretic frameworks. We show that behavioral defenders over-invest in higher-valued assets compared to rational defenders. We then propose different learning-based techniques and adapt two different tax-based mechanisms for guiding behavioral decision-makers towards optimal security investment decisions. In particular, we show the outcomes of such learning and mechanisms on different realistic networked systems. In total, our research establishes rigorous frameworks to analyze the security of both large-scale networked systems and heterogeneous isolated assets managed by human decision makers and provides new and important insights into security vulnerabilities that arise in such settings.

Recorded September 22nd   John started NEXT Studios in 2020 after a successful exit on his own venture in the internet of things software space.  One of the things that makes NEXT Studios unique is it's B Corp status with a social mission helping underrepresented founders in Indiana.  The NEXT Studios model allows the firm to accept capital as either donations or investment.  He holds periodic “lean startup bootcamps” to help new founders learn the ropes of starting a business and think through their idea which also serves as a way to find opportunities to fund new ventures.  John provides some interesting statistics on the role of business creation in job growth and how organizations like NEXT are uniquely situated to improve the local economy.  We also learn about the process for local communities to incubate startups through John's paradigm of Capital, Talent, and Place.

This week's guest is Michael B. Cline the Vice President, Administrative Operations which is a mouth full and had to have him help me with his title during the introduction. Michael is a professional engineer with decades of leadership and engineering experience in both the public and private sectors. We talk about the mind shift that happened upon his return to Purdue in 2013 around Planning and Construction by prioritizing customer care, innovation and management accountability, Cline ensures the organization delivers high quality services at the lowest possible cost. Cline, who earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering from Purdue University, returned to the University in July 2013 as the Vice President for Physical Facilities with responsibility for the design and construction of all university facilities, the operation and maintenance of existing buildings, and the Wade Utility Plant. Since 2013, Cline's role expanded to include capital programming, campus master planning, sustainability, real estate, procurement, environmental health and public safety, supplier diversity, parking, transportation, and Purdue's airport. In this role, Cline manages 1,200 employees on the West Lafayette campus, a $250M capital program, and a $150M annual operating budget. Current major capital projects underway include the $140M Dudley and Lambertus Halls for the College of Engineering and Purdue Polytechnic Institute, $22M Hagle Hall for bands and orchestra, $41M Hypersonics and Applied Research Facility, $73M High Speed Propulsion Lab and $52M Schleman Hall and Stewart Center Renovations for data science and student services . From 2015 through its completion in December 2018, Cline played a pivotal leadership role in delivering the $120M State Street Redevelopment Project in an unprecedented ‘town-gown' P3 or Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) with the City of West Lafayette. This project has sparked over $500M in private investment adjacent to Purdue's campus since 2017. Cline was also instrumental in the completion of the 2018 Giant Leaps Master Plan for the West Lafayette campus—the launch of which coincided with the University's Sesquicentennial Anniversary. Prior to joining the University, Cline served as the Commissioner of the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) from 2010-2013, where he was entrusted with overseeing all aspects of one of the state's largest agencies. He successfully led INDOT's delivery of Governor Mitch Daniels' $10B Major Moves infrastructure investment program, while reducing annual operating spending by $70M. Noteworthy projects completed under Cline's leadership include the $700M I-69 project (sections 1-3) and the procurement of the Ohio River Bridges project, a unique $2.4B P3 with the Commonwealth of Kentucky.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
