This talk will explore the technology and lessons learned by UMBC alumnus Richard Carback from his experience co-founding and closing the security startup Lexumo, which provided the only automated service that continuously monitors IoT software platforms for the latest public vulnerabilities. In addition to covering some of the hard problems and Lexumo’s technical approach for monitoring all the world’s open-source software to assist companies in managing their vulnerabilities, Dr. Carback will discuss the mistakes and complexities of getting funded, delivering a product, and finding customers.
Dr. Richard Carback is a UMBC Alumnus (CS Ph.D., 2010) who is an entrepreneur who currently runs a private consultancy for computer security, computer forensics, cryptography, and smart contracts. He is a privacy-preserving systems expert with a background in elections and anonymity networks. While the group leader for the embedded systems security group at Charles Stark Draper Laboratories, he spun out an IoT vulnerability startup called Lexumo that provided the only automated service that continuously monitored IoT software platforms for the latest public vulnerabilities. At UMBC, he worked with Alan Sherman on secure elections and was the primary researcher behind Takoma Park’s deployment of the Scantegrity voting system, the first usage of voter-verifiable end-to-end election technology in a municipal election. email: *protected email*
