Cybersecurity is a multifaceted phenomenon, encompassing technological, societal and organizational vulnerabilities and practices that can lead to data leakage and loss, including hardware and software malfunction.

Over the last two decades, my group has deployed and operated cybersecurity testbeds to addresses unique problems in cybersecurity through experimentation with novel hardware, tools, and datasets. This talk will discuss several research projects that leverage testbed technologies for experiment-based cybersecurity research.
