学术讲座：From Hacking to Cyber Terrorism and Cyber War

报告人：Jian Hua(化剑)，Associate Professor，University of the District of Columbia, USA

Abstract: A general static game theoretical model and a general dynamic game theoretical model are proposed to study the optimal information systems (IS) security investment and then applied to compare the losses caused by cyber terrorists and common hackers. Simulations with varying levels of hackers’ preference, breach function sensitivity, and deterrence level are carried out to determine the sensitivity to the optimal IS security investment. Our results reveal that organizations need to invest more to protect their strategic information systems against the cyber terrorists who have long-term goals.

Presenter: Dr. Jian Hua is an associate professor in the Department of Management, Information Systems and Marketing, at the School of Business and Public Administration, the University of the District of Columbia. His research interests and expertise are information security and cyber internal control.

As the first author, Dr. Hua has won the Best Interdisciplinary Research Paper in 2009 Decision Science Institute Annual Conference, and the Best Application Research Paper in 2011 Decision Science Institute Annual Conference.
