NCITE Insights – Cyber Threats: Deepfakes, Cyberattacks, and Critical Infrastructure

In back-to-back episodes of the podcast, host Erin Grace discusses the terrorist threat to the cyber domain.

Part 1: Deepfakes and Critical Infrastructure

Erin sits down with Deanna House, Ph.D., head of NCITE's Cyber Threat Analysis Lab and UNO assistant professor in the College of Information Science and Technology. House discusses her research as a co-PI on a University of Oklahoma-led team seeking to understand how deepfakes could be used to undermine the critical infrastructure sector's organizational reputation, financial health, and data security. See the team's project page to find out more.

Part 2: Cyberattacks and Critical Infrastructure

Erin sits down with NCITE researchers and political scientists Ryan Shandler, Ph.D., and Jon Lindsay, Ph.D., both of the Georgia Institute of Technology's School of Cybersecurity and Privacy. They discuss their research on the level of risk posed to each of the nation's 16 critical infrastructure sectors and their effort to model which sectors would be most attractive to malevolent actors.
