The Department of Computer Science and Statistics is hosting a presentation on A Human-Centric Approach to Software Vulnerability Discovery. Software vulnerabilities persist as an important and costly challenge. Significant effort has been exerted toward automatic vulnerability discovery, but human intelligence generally remains required, and will remain so for the foreseeable future. The pool of experts qualified to perform vulnerability discovery is small and homogeneous, leading to negative outcomes such as labor shortages and a lack of perspective diversity. Daniel Votipka, the Lin Family Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Tufts University, will present the results of multiple studies investigating the humans at the center of vulnerability discovery, and will discuss the technical (e.g., the processes they follow to find vulnerabilities), and with the social (e.g., how they interact with others and navigate the bug bounty landscape) aspects of their work. He will discuss interventions in tool development and education to make vulnerability discovery more approachable and inclusive.
