SafeConfig Symposium Student Travel Award

配置错误导致65%的网络攻击，并导致62%的基础设施停机。本次SafeConfig是为期两天的配置分析和自动化研讨会，重点讨论如何应对挑战和未来解决方案，以开发可保证、可衡量和可用的安全和网络配置（www.safeconfig.org）。该项目的主要目标是鼓励研究生参与SafeConfig 2011，该项目将汇集研究，工业和政府社区，交流经验，讨论挑战并提出研究方向。早期的教师研究人员和学生将有一个独特的机会与来自所有三个社区的领域的高级研究人员进行互动。他们将通过学习最先进的解决方案，并与行业和政府活动联系，从NIST安全自动化会议中受益匪浅。今天的研究生将在塑造网络和安全技术的未来方面发挥核心作用。他们是未来的管理员，开发人员和研究人员，他们将管理，实施和创建解决方案，以解决我们当前和未来开发安全和可保证的网络和系统配置系统的挑战。参加这一领域的专业和重点活动是让学生了解这一领域当前挑战和未来发展的最有效途径。该项目将促进年轻研究人员和学生参加SafeConfig 2011，并与来自学术界，工业界和政府的顶级研究人员进行互动。

It has been widely cited that configuration errors enable 65% of cyber attacks and cause 62% of infrastructure downtime. This SafeConfig is a 2-day Symposium on Configuration Analytics and Automation that focuses on addresses challenges and future solution to develop assurable, measurable and usable security and network configurations (www.safeconfig.org). The main objective of this project is to encourage graduate student participation in SafeConfig 2011, which will bring together the research, industry and government communities to exchange experiences, discuss challenges and propose research directions. Early faculty researchers and students will have a unique opportunity to interact with senior researchers in the field from all three communities. They will greatly benefit from the collocation with NIST Security Automation Conference by learning about the state-of-the-art solutions, and connect to industry and government activities. Today's graduate students will play a central role in shaping the future of networking and security technologies. They are the future the administrators, developers, and researchers who will manage, implemented and create solutions to address our current and future challenges of developing secure and assurable network and system configuration systems. Attending specialized and focused event on this area is the most effective way to expose students to the current challenges and future development of this area. This project will facilitate the attendance of young researchers and students to attend SafeConfig 2011 and interact with top researchers from academic, industry and government.
