Dealing with Advanced Persistent Threats: Case Studies


On April 20, 2022, Professor Wanlei Zhou, Vice President of City University of Macau and Dean of the Faculty of Data Science, gave an academic lecture titled "Resolving Advanced Long-term Threats: Case Study" to the students. Undergraduate, master’s and doctoral students from our college actively participated, and the lecture received an enthusiastic response.

 

At the beginning of this lecture, Professor Zhou led everyone to review the definition of Advanced Persistent Threats, summarized the current status of the problem and pointed out the current status of this type of problem and the security threats it brings, in order to guide students towards APT security. Learn more about the problem. During the lecture, Professor Zhou used three significant scientific research results of his own research as cases to explain in detail "anti-reconnaissance measures", "measures against lateral movement" and "customized dynamic isolation and recovery" to solve APT security risks. (QAR) solutions to minimize the impact of APT” research method.

 

Through on-site demonstration analysis, Professor Zhou combined cutting-edge research theories with actual cases to arouse students' interest in the research direction of privacy security threats. At the end of the lecture, the students asked Professor Zhou for advice on the problems they encountered in their current studies. Professor Zhou answered them in turn and put forward his own opinions. The atmosphere of this lecture was relaxed and lively, and the teaching content was explained in simple and in-depth terms, which cultivated the students' ability to analyze computer privacy security issues and further laid a foundation for subsequent course learning and academic research. In recent years, Professor Zhou has led the research team to overcome many major issues in the field of privacy security research and published 20 top journal papers, which is an outstanding breakthrough and outstanding achievement of our university in this scientific research field.
