Conference Video: Deveeshree Nayak - What is Security in Data Science?
This is Deveeshree Nayak’s tech talk at the WiDS Puget Sound Conference 2020. Enjoy!
ABSTRACT:
In this talk, I will be focusing on the importance of Cyber Security in data science. As we all know data is power in the present time and with data we have the potential to predict our future. Data security in data science plays a vital role and we require Cyber Security practitioners who have solid domain knowledge on data risk assessment, vulnerability management, network security, pen-testing, identity management, and other subject knowledge of information security. In this talk, attendees get to learn the security perspective of data and how they can pursue a career in security while continuing their passion for data science.
I am passionate about teaching CyberSecurity subjects especially the Security perspective of Data and Information Quality aspect of it. I began my career as an Information Security analyst and has been involved in various roles related to Cyber Security before joining UW Tacoma. I grew up in India before moving to the U.S. for further studies in Information Systems and Criminology from the University of Memphis in Tennessee. I have been a member of Anita Borg Institute, IEEE, Women in Engineering, Women in Cybersecurity and Women in Data Science. I encourage and help people to pursue their careers in the STEM field.
