<h4>Andrea Continella (University of Twente)</h4>
<p>
Andrea Continella is an Associate Professor at the University of Twente, where he leads the cybersecurity team of the Semantics, Cybersecurity & Services group (SCS), and he is a member of the International Secure Systems Lab (iSecLab). His research activity focuses on several aspects of systems security, such as malware and threat analysis, mobile and IoT security, software and firmware security, and large-scale measurements of security issues. Andrea is a strong advocate for open and reproducible science, he regularly publishes at top-tier security venues, and he serves on the program committees of major systems security conferences.
<p>Abstract: Embedded devices have become ubiquitous. While they automate and simplify many aspects of users' lives, industrial processes, and critical infrastructures, the firmware running on these devices often presents severe (despite well-known for decades) vulnerabilities. Unfortunately, firmware is heavily hardware-dependent and typically executes in unique, minimal environments with non-standard configurations, making security analysis particularly challenging. In this talk, I will discuss the challenges of applying traditional security analysis and testing methods in the firmware domain, and I will present an overview of the techniques and tools developed for the automated discovery and mitigation of security vulnerabilities in embedded devices. Finally, I will show the results of current research, draw conclusions on the state of security of embedded firmware and the limitations of existing approaches, and highlight directions for future research.<br/><br/>

Bio: Andrea is an Associate Professor at the University of Twente where he leads the cybersecurity team of the Semantics, Cybersecurity & Services group. His research focuses on several aspects of systems security, such as malware and threat analysis, mobile security, or software security.
