Modern security operations centers (SOCs) employ a variety of tools for intrusion detection, prevention, and widespread log aggregation and analysis. While research efforts are quickly proposing novel algorithms and technologies for cyber security, access to actual security personnel, their data, and their problems are necessarily limited by security concerns and time constraints. To help bridge the gap between researchers and security centers, this paper reports results of semi-structured interviews of 13 professionals from five different SOCs including at least one large academic, research, and government organization. The interviews focused on the current practices and future desires of SOC operators about host-based data collection capabilities, what is learned from the data, what tools are used, and how tools are evaluated. Questions and the responses are organized and reported by topic. Then broader themes are discussed. Forest-level takeaways from the interviews center on problems stemming from size of data, correlation of heterogeneous but related data sources, signal-to-noise ratio of data, and analysts time.

Today, the prominence of data science within organizations has given rise to teams of data science workers collaborating on extracting insights from data, as opposed to individual data scientists working alone. However, we still lack a deep understan
ding of how data science workers collaborate in practice. In this work, we conducted an online survey with 183 participants who work in various aspects of data science. We focused on their reported interactions with each other (e.g., managers with engineers) and with different tools (e.g., Jupyter Notebook). We found that data science teams are extremely collaborative and work with a variety of stakeholders and tools during the six common steps of a data science workflow (e.g., clean data and train model). We also found that the collaborative practices workers employ, such as documentation, vary according to the kinds of tools they use. Based on these findings, we discuss design implications for supporting data science team collaborations and future research directions.
Learning data storytelling involves a complex web of skills. Professional and academic educational offerings typically focus on the computational literacies required, but professionals in the field employ many non-technical methods; sketching by hand
on paper is a common practice. This paper introduces and classifies a corpus of 101 data sketches produced by participants as part of a guided learning activity in informal and formal settings. We manually code each sketch against 12 metrics related to visual encodings, representations, and story structure. We find evidence for preferential use of positional and shape-based encodings, frequent use of symbolic and textual representations, and a high prevalence of stories comparing subsets of data. These findings contribute to our understanding of how learners sketch with data. This case study can inform tool design for learners, and help create educational programs that introduce novices to sketching practices used by experts.
This paper summarizes recent contributions of the authors and their co-workers in the area of information-theoretic security.
IP-based Surveillance systems protect industrial facilities, railways, gas stations, and even ones own home. Therefore, unauthorized access to these systems has serious security implications. In this survey, we analyze the systems (1) threat agents,
(2) attack goals, (3) practical attacks, (4) possible attack outcomes, and (5) provide example attack vectors.
Blockchain protocols come with a variety of security guarantees. For example, BFT-inspired protocols such as Algorand tend to be secure in the partially synchronous setting, while longest chain protocols like Bitcoin will normally require stronger sy
nchronicity to be secure. Another fundamental distinction, directly relevant to scalability solutions such as sharding, is whether or not a single untrusted user is able to point to *certificates*, which provide incontrovertible proof of block confirmation. Algorand produces such certificates, while Bitcoin does not. Are these properties accidental? Or are they inherent consequences of the paradigm of protocol design? Our aim in this paper is to understand what, fundamentally, governs the nature of security for permissionless blockchain protocols. Using the framework developed in (Lewis-Pye and Roughgarden, 2021), we prove general results showing that these questions relate directly to properties of the user selection process, i.e., the method (such as proof-of-work or proof-of-stake) which is used to select users with the task of updating state. Our results suffice to establish, for example, that the production of certificates is impossible for proof-of-work protocols, but is automatic for standard forms of proof-of-stake protocols. As a byproduct of our work, we also define a number of security notions and identify the equivalences and inequivalences among them.
