DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Cyber attacks have now invaded our daily lives. Accor
 ding to a report by the European police agency Europol\, cybercrime threat
 s are exploding in Europe. Not a day goes by without discovering that an i
 nstitution or a company has been attacked. In this talk we will explore ho
 w research in systems and distributed systems may improve the resilience t
 o cyber attacks following 3 axes targeting  mobile systems\, distributed s
 ystems\, and operating systems\; (I) The astonishingly widespread adoption
  of the Android operating system has been accompanied by the spread of mal
 ware across the Android ecosystem at an alarming rate leading to study how
  to strengthen the robustness of mobile systems such as Android\; (II) Pee
 r sampling is a key component of distributed systems for overlay managemen
 t and information dissemination. It is regularly challenged by Byzantine n
 odes\, leading to a revisiting of the field by introducing new algorithms 
 and investigating how SGX hardware enclaves can improve resilience to thre
 ats. (III) A significant amount of research focuses on defending against c
 yber attacks such as ransomware but little on getting systems back up and 
 running once they have been attacked. In this talk\, we will explore speci
 fically the first axe.Short bio: David Bromberg is a professor in distribu
 ted computing systems at the University of Rennes (IRISA) since 2015. He h
 eads the large-scale systems department at the computer science research l
 aboratory of Rennes (IRISA). He is one of the initiators and leaders of th
 e Inria national challenge on systems research\, which started in 2022\, a
 nd whose objective is to federate the dispersed actors in systems in order
  to revive and promote research on operating systems in France. In the sam
 e vein\, he was the general chair of Eurosys'22 which was held in person i
 n Rennes to revitalize system research in Europe after two years of pandem
 ics and virtual editions.  Further\, David is also strongly involved in th
 e promotion of research in Computer Science in Africa via its INRIA associ
 ated team with Cameroon which he has been leading from 2021 to 2024.  Sinc
 e then\, David has become Scientific head of LIRIMA\, INRIA's internationa
 l research laboratory. Previously\, he was an associate professor at the U
 niversity of Bordeaux\, and a member of the LaBRI software engineering res
 earch that he led from 2013 to 2015. His main interests are in scalability
  and programmability of complex distributed systems (e.g.\, overlays)\, so
 ftware engineering applied to systems\, distributed systems\, systems and 
 network programming. These last years\, David has operated a shift to prom
 ote and focus on cyber security from a system perspective. David is the au
 thor of over 40 peer-reviewed publications\, and has regularly accepted pa
 pers at SRDS\, DSN\, ICDCS\, Middleware\, Percom\, Infocom\, NSDI. He has 
 served on a number of program committees in his field. In particular\, he 
 was a member of the program committee for many years at the ACM/IFIP/USENI
 X International Conference on Middleware\, and ultimately at Usenix NSDI f
 or 2024\, and EuroSys for 2025
