Abstract
DDoS attacks are one of the currently most pressing cybersecurity problems. In these attacks, attackers flood their targets with unwanted traffic to exhaust the available resources, e.g., bandwidth. Over time, DDoS attack volumes The rapid development of personal systems and devices such as smartphones and smart home devices have changed people’s daily lives significantly. At the same time, the ubiquitous existence of Internet connected smart devices in private homes and offices also raised huge security and privacy concerns. The compromised smart devices can be utilized to launch large-scale distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks against online severs. In this talk, I will address the above issues and discuss my recent research effort that provide solutions to help general non-technical-savvy users to protect their security and privacy of their smart devices. I will also provide a scalable solution by utilizing new network technologies to combat DDoS attacks.

How the digital transformation is changing our lives
The COVID-19 pandemic has shown all of us the benefits of information technology. It allows us to work at a distance, to live at a distance, and most importantly, to keep in touch at a distance – with younger and older people, those closest to us, and even make new contacts.
Our society relies more and more on information and operational technologies. Examples include water, energy, heat and cooling supply, communications, healthcare, production and processing of goods, transportation, national security, banking, research and education, and food production.
What all these areas have in common is that they make intensive use of networked distributed computer systems. These systems can be attacked in many ways. This is no longer just a problem for computer “pros” because computer systems are essential to all of us. The effects of “cyber-attacks” range from power outages to the collapse of the health care or banking sectors.
