Can an attacker cause physical damage without hacking a controller? Georgia Tech researchers developed ICSFlux, a tool that uses physics to uncover hidden cyber threats in ICS. Tested across 6 sectors, it found 20 real safety violations. cc.gatech.edu/news/icsflux-u…

Hear from Associate Professor Saman Zonouz about what it takes to secure a major sporting event, the role AI plays in this environment, and the research his team is conducting at the Cyber Physical Systems Security Lab (CPSec), which he leads! pe.gatech.edu/blog/industry-…

These high-profile events attract large crowds and depend on numerous interconnected digital and physical systems to operate smoothly. Even small vulnerabilities in these systems can create opportunities for widespread disruption in the public and private sectors.

Over the past several years, major events like the World Cup have become prime targets for cybercriminals, political hacktivists, and state-sponsored adversaries seeking to interrupt operations, threaten safety, and steal money and data.

The Georgia Tech team’s research, led by Amrita Singh Rajput and Professor Vijay K. Madisetti, offers a practical way to clean up these systems before they are used in the real world. Read the Paper: ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.js… 4/4

Modern AI models, like those used to help with hiring or healthcare, often pick up harmful stereotypes about race, gender, and religion from the massive amounts of internet data they are trained on. 3/4

Scientists at the Georgia Tech have developed a new way to make Artificial Intelligence (AI) fairer by identifying and removing the specific internal parts responsible for social bias. 1/4
