SUMMARY:CISE Faculty Seminar: Eric Pauley
DESCRIPTION:Zoom Link: https://ufl.zoom.us/j/95787788295\n\nBiography: Madi
 sonEric Pauley is a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Wisconsin–Madis
 on\, advised by Patrick McDaniel. His research interests encompass data-dr
 iven approaches to evaluating and improving the security of networked soft
 ware systems\, with a particular focus on cloud computing. His work has le
 d to practical improvements in the security of cloud-based systems through
  both remediations by major providers and services offered by his company\
 , DScope Security. His research in security measurement has earned best pa
 per runner-up at the ACM Internet Measurement Conference\, a finalist spot
  in the CSAW Applied Research Competition\, and the UW–Madison Computer 
 Sciences Outstanding Graduate Researcher Award. Eric is also an avid backp
 acker\, instrument-rated private pilot\, and birder.\n\nTitle of the Talk:
  Leveraging the Wisdom of Clouds for Internet Security\n\nAbstract: Over t
 he past decade\, networked systems have consolidated under just a handful 
 of hyper-scale cloud providers (e.g.\, AWS\, Azure). While this offers log
 istical and economic advantages\, attackers specifically target providers 
 and their customers\, a shift that has left traditional network vantage po
 ints blind to the most sophisticated adversaries. In this talk\, I’ll ex
 plore how we adapt Internet measurement to these new deployment models to 
 regain situational awareness and defend modern service deployments. I’ll
  introduce DScope\, a new Internet telescope that continuously relocates i
 ts vantage point across the public cloud infrastructure. Unlike prior appr
 oaches that use a fixed vantage point\, this allows us to observe the most
  sophisticated attackers that actively avoid existing measurement infrastr
 ucture. Our dynamic approach also achieves a statistically representative 
 view of cloud-based attacks\, a property that we prove for the first time.
  Using data from DScope\, I’ll also discuss how the shared networking en
 vironment of public clouds leads to new vulnerabilities. We’ll examine t
 he problem of latent configuration\, which occurs when cloud customers ref
 erence network resources that other tenants then reuse. Public clouds uniq
 uely enable this new security risk\, but through rigorous analysis and sys
 tems design\, we can make cloud deployments more secure in practice. I’l
 l conclude by discussing open problems and future work in leveraging Inter
 net vantage points for security\, with a focus on intelligent interactivit
 y and rapid response to emergent threats.
