Negotiating Your Professional Services Agreement: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly In this free webinar, we will discuss the importance of a well-drafted professional services agreement. We will talk about some of the critical risk management provisions that should be addressed in all professional services agreements and discuss ways to deal with poorly drafted provisions proposed by clients. - Discuss the importance of contract negotiations and insight that may be gained from the process; - Identify important contract provisions that are frequently the subject of difficult negotiations; - Consider the risk management implications associated with poorly worded provisions and ways to modify the language; and - Learn about the potential advantages associated with favorably-drafted provisions.

Printing custom DNA sequences is essential to scientific and biomedical research, but the technology can be used to build plagues as well as cures. Just as ink printers recognize and reject attempts to counterfeit money, DNA synthesizers and assemblers should deny requests to make viral DNA that could be used to ignite another pandemic. There are three complications. First, we don't need to update printers to deal with newly discovered currencies, whereas we’ll constantly learn of new viruses and other biological threats. Second, anti-counterfeiting specifications on a local printer can’t be extracted and used to help terrorists – unlike DNA blueprints for hazards. Third, a list of all the DNA orders placed by a biotech company could paint a detailed portrait of its R&D program, so any screening system must protect the privacy of each customer’s orders as reliably as their banks safeguards their finances. Cryptography, the foundation of modern computer security, can do the same for synthesis screening. We will discuss SecureDNA, an internationally developed and fully automated system capable of securely screening all DNA synthesis that will be made freely available by the end of 2023.

Dr. Nikki Robinson is a Security Architect as well as a Professor of Practice, and holds a Doctorate of Science in CyberSecurity, as well as several industry certifications (CISSP, CEH, MCITP, etc). She recently completed a PhD in Human Factors and focused her research in blending psychology and cybersecurity. She has a background in IT Operations and Engineering, and moved into Security several years ago. Her expertise is in vulnerability management, security architecture and design, as well as integrating human factors into security engineering practices. Nikki will discuss the technology aspects of her career, from both the technological and people perspective. She will cover how psychology has played a major role in her technology career from IT operations through cybersecurity. Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/361907

Distinguished Lecture: Title: Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces for Communications and Radars Abstract: In recent years, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) have shown promising abilities to control and manipulate electromagnetic (EM) waves through modified surface boundary conditions. These surfaces are electrically thin and comprise an array of spatially varying sub-wavelength scattering elements (or meta-atoms). Through careful engineering of each meta-atom, RISs can transform an incident EM wave into an arbitrarily tailored transmitted or reflected wavefront. Recent developments in RISs have opened exciting new opportunities in antenna design, as well as communications and radar systems. RISs - wherein meta-atoms are embedded with active components - lead to the development of low-cost, lightweight, and compact systems that can produce programmable radiation patterns, jointly perform multi-function communications, and enable advanced radars for next-generation military platforms. This talk will introduce RISs and their various applications in designing simplified communications and radar systems, wherein the RF aperture and transceiver are integrated within the RIS. For example, dynamic reconfiguration of the RIS aperture in a wireless communications transmitter facilitates beam steering, frequency agility, and phase modulation without conventional front-end devices such as phase-shifters, mixers, and switches. We will present our recent work on reconfigurable RIS control, RIS-enabled direct signal modulation, and deep learning-based RIS design. Finally, we will present deploying RIS as a reflector in the wireless channel for aiding non-line-of-sight radar and joint radar-communications.
