With Haya Schulmann, TUD Dresden University of Technology welcomes a cyber security researcher of international standing on December 7th, 2023. As part of the Frontiers in Science Lecture Series, Schulmann will offer reflections on “Digital Advancements and Increasing Cyber Threats.” In the current era of digital advancements, we are confronted with a dual-edged scenario: while technological progress offers unprecedented opportunities, it concurrently presents escalating cyber threats. Schulmann’s talk will dive the evolving landscape of cyber threats, focusing specifically on two primary attack vectors: system vulnerabilities and compromised credentials.

Haya Schulmann is Professor of Cybersecurity at the Institute of Computer Science at Johann Wolfgang Goethe University Frankfurt am Main. She is a member of the board of directors of the National Research Center for Applied Cybersecurity ATHENE, where she coordinates the research area "Analytics Based Cybersecurity". She is also a visiting professor at Tel Aviv University and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Schulmann is one of the most renowned and successful cybersecurity researchers in Germany. She was awarded a LOEWE professorship in 2022, the German IT Security Prize of the Horst Görtz Foundation in 2021 and the Applied Networking Research Prize of the IETF/IRTF in 2015. She also regularly writes articles and columns for the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) and Tagesspiegel Background Cybersecurity to bring the topic of cybersecurity to a wider audience.

The Frontiers in Science Lecture Series aims at taking up current trends and questions from the field of international cutting-edge research and conveying them to a broad, multidisciplinary audience within the university.
