Title: Data-Driven Resilience: A Double-Edged Sword for Security and Privacy
Abstract: In an increasingly connected and data-rich world, resilience is no longer just about withstanding failures — it’s about adapting, learning, and recovering in real time. At the heart of this evolution lies data: vast, dynamic, and increasingly central to decision-making in secure and dependable systems. But while data-driven strategies have opened new frontiers in threat detection, system adaptation, and anomaly prediction, they have also introduced new vulnerabilities. From training set poisoning in machine learning models to metadata leaks in system logs, data can empower both defenders and adversaries. This keynote explores the paradox of data-driven resilience — how the datasets that enable adaptive defense and fault tolerance can also expose systems to novel attack vectors and privacy breaches. Drawing from real-world case studies, research insights, and lessons from critical infrastructures, we will examine the trade-offs inherent in building resilient systems through data.
Bio: Michele Nogueira is an Associate Professor in the Computer Science Department at Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG), Brazil. She received her doctorate in Computer Science from the University Pierre et Marie Curie – Sorbonne Université, France. She was on a sabbatical leave at Carnegie Mellon University, USA (2016-2017). Her research interests include wireless networks, network security and dependability. She has worked on providing resilience to self-organized, cognitive and wireless networks by adaptive and opportunistic approaches. Today, her research focuses on creating network security intelligence supported by data science. Dr. Nogueira was one of the pioneers in addressing survivability issues in self-organized wireless networks, being the work “A Survey of Survivability in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks”, one of her prominent scientific contributions. She has been a recipient of Academic Scholarships from Brazilian Government in her undergraduate and graduate years, and of international grants such as from the ACM SIGCOMM Geodiversity program. She served as Associate Technical Editor for the IEEE Communications Magazine. She served as chair for the IEEE ComSoc Internet Technical Committee. She is an ACM and IEEE Senior Member.
