应pc加拿大预测准确率李周平副教授邀请，美国伊利诺伊州立大学数学系徐茂超教授于近期访问我校并作学术报告。

      报告题目：Cybersecurity Insurance: Modeling and Pricing
      报告时间：6月9日（星期六）上午9：30
      报告地点：齐云楼911报告厅
      摘      要：Cybersecurity has become a problem that is threatening the economy, human privacy, and even national security. The cybersecurity insurance, which is designed to mitigate losses from a variety of cyber incidents, including data breaches, business interruption, and network damage, has received much attention recently. However, the contributions to modeling the cybersecurity risk in the literature are largely descriptive, which is mainly because the cyber risk is very different from the traditional financial risks. The significant property that distinguishes cyber risk from the conventional risk is that information and communication technology resources are interconnected in a network, and therefore the analysis of risk and its related potential losses needs to take into the network topology.
In this talk, we will discuss the challenges in modeling the cybersecurity risks including the high-dimensional dependence, and cyber epidemic spreading. The pricing strategy for the insurance companies based on the proposed epidemic spreading model and related simulation will be discussed as well.
This is a joint work with Dr. Lei Hua from Northern Illinois University.
