Tria Federal enjoyed supporting the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs' FTS Hackathon, an exciting three-day event that brought together federal employees, industry experts and college students for three days in Austin, Texas earlier this fall.   College students had the rare chance to solve some of the federal government’s toughest fraud and cybersecurity challenges. Teams worked on cutting-edge projects including an AI-powered fraud detection platform, a risk management dashboard, and a tool that identifies providers engaging in medical billing fraud. 💡 What so great about hackathons? They provide a framework for problem-solving without the biases that can come with professional experience, says Tria CTO John Cho and an FTS Hackathon judge. “Everyone wins at a hackathon,” Cho says. “Hard problems get tackled. Creative collaboration between academia, government and industry can flourish. Students can gain tremendous knowledge and experience. And everyone learns.” 💯 Kudos to the participants and everyone who made the inaugural event a success!

The promise of AI to surpass human intelligence and replace humans in the decision-making loop is challenged in our recent work titled 𝘊𝘺𝘣𝘦𝘳 𝘛𝘩𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘐𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘮𝘦𝘦𝘵𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘺𝘵𝘪𝘤 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘧𝘵 (referred to as AMBARGO), published in the best security journal, 𝘼𝘾𝙈 𝙏𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 𝙤𝙣 𝙋𝙧𝙞𝙫𝙖𝙘𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙎𝙚𝙘𝙪𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙮 (𝘼𝘾𝙈 𝙏𝙊𝙋𝙎). This collaborative research between the University of Glasgow and RISE Research Institutes of Sweden demonstrates that, in the presence of ambiguous evidence and potentially deceptive threat actors, human intelligence remains essential 👨🎓.

The cybersecurity landscape is changing, and so are the skills recruiters are looking for. In his keynote address at the NICE Conference and Expo, Cyberbit CEO, Caleb Barlow, dives deep into the evolving experience gap. Key takeaways:  🛡️Forget textbook learning alone- Hands-on experience with commercial security tools is what separates candidates.  🛡️Closing the gap: Universities and businesses need to bridge the gap with practical training using real-world tools.  🛡️Resumes need a refresh! To get the job, cybersecurity graduates need to highlight their experience with commercial tools and quantify their usage with hours spent.  🛡️Cybersecurity is a team effort. Sharpen teamwork with communication skills that stand out.
