DESCRIPTION:The Centre for Intellectual Property Policy welcomes Alana Maur
 ushat (University of New South Wales).\n\nAbstract\n\nThis presentation lo
 oks at how big data analytics are used to monitor security vulnerability d
 isclosures in the dark market\, and how to prevent the zero day vulnerabil
 ities from becoming escalated acts of persistent advanced cybersecurity th
 reats. A software vulnerability is a weakness in a computer system that ca
 n be exploited by an attacker.  A zero data exploit is a vulnerability tha
 t is exploited against a target on the day on which public awareness of th
 e existence of the vulnerability occurs (that is\, zero days have elapsed 
 since between the awareness and the use).\n\nVulnerabilities are lucrative
  commodities in the dark market as well as in legitimate markets. For exam
 ple\, the US government purchased vulnerabilities to launch the Stuxnet vi
 rus that slowed down Iran’s nuclear power program. This also includes moni
 toring of hacktivists and ethical hackers through social media\, the dark 
 market\, 4chan\, and through FBI infiltrated technology services.\n\nThe p
 aper draws on work undertaken over the last six years both in the fields o
 f security vulnerabilities\, and ethical hacking drawing on analytics from
  the media and blogs\, as well as analytics run on a number of hacking and
  cyber jihad dark market forums. It will be demonstrated that there are fe
 wer safeguards in place for this type of big data surveillance than there 
 are for more traditional (and the focus of media stories) big data uses in
  national security\, and in particular for terrorism. It will be argued th
 at more transparency and safeguards are required for less known forms of b
 ig data surveillance.\n\nAbout the speaker\n\nAlana Maurushat\, BCL'01\, L
 LB'01\, is currently Senior Lecturer at the Faculty of Law\, and Director 
 of The Cyberspace Law and Policy Centre at the University of New South Wal
 es. Her areas of expertise include big data for national security and law 
 enforcement\; cybersecurity\, cybercrime and cyberwar\; ethical hacking\; 
 digital copyright\; and online civil liberties.\n\nEvent is open to all. A
  request for accreditation for 1.5 hours of continuing legal education has
  been made. For jurists seeking CLE hours\, a fee of 30$ is requested. \n
