| Results and Impact | I gave a talk on game theoretic modelling of cyber attacks (attacker-defender security games) at the 8th International Crime Science Conference in London (Jul 2014). We discussed the advantages and limitations of this mathematical approach in defending against cyber crime. The talk was well received by the audience (mostly with little knowledge of game theory), and attracted some attention from NCA. |

| Results and Impact | I gave a talk at the GameSec 2014 conference in Los Angeles (Nov 2014), to present the paper "Strategic Discovery and Sharing of Vulnerabilities in Competitive Environments". It attracted attention from US government representatives, responsible for establishing a cyber security information exchange platform in the US. I have been contacted by a researcher from Sandia Labs for more information about game theoretic modelling of cyber security information sharing schemes. |
