Teaching a computer to hack... all by itself

Allan Meltzer: Economics Professor at Carnegie Mellon University

In this podcast, Joe Elm discusses the results of a recent technical report, The Business Case for Systems Engineering, which establishes clear links between the application of systems engineering (SE) best practices to projects and programs and the performance of those projects and programs. The report clearly shows that projects that do more SE perform better in terms of meeting budgets, schedules, and technical requirements. The survey population consisted of projects and programs executed by system developers reached through the National Defense Industrial Association Systems Engineering Division, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Aerospace and Electronic Systems Society, and the International Council on Systems Engineering.

The Business Case for Systems Engineering

Computers and information technology are getting more and more integrated into our daily lives, so they need to be easy to use. But recent, historically large data breaches have demonstrated the need to make systems more secure and to protect information about individuals. How will the security−privacy−usability triangle successfully accommodate the challenges that the future will bring? In this podcast, Dr. Lorrie Faith Cranor, director of CyLab, sits down with Bobbie Stempfley, director of the SEI’s CERT Division, to talk about the future of cyber in security and privacy.

The Future of Cyber: Security and Privacy

"Make It Real" is a podcast that features in-depth conversations with researchers leading innovative research projects in Carnegie Mellon's College of Engineering.
