Dr. Deborah Frincke, Co-founder of the Center for Secure and Dependable Systems, graduated from the University of California, Davis in 1992.  She joined the University of Idaho in 1993 and was tenured in 1998.  She served as Faculty Council Vice Chair in 1998-1999, and then as Faculty Council (Faculty Senate) Chair in 1999-2000. 

 

At the University of Idaho, Dr. Frincke has been actively involved in promoting both research and education in information assurance and computer security.  In 2001, she joined the editorial staff of the Journal of Computer Security.  She is currently serving as guest editor for a special edition of this journal that will emphasize intrusion detection systems.  She also serves on the program committees for RAID 2001, and the 1st Data Mining Workshop for the ACM Conference on Computer Security.  In 2000, she chaired the 1st Workshop on Intrusion Detection Systems, held under the auspices of the ACM Conference on Computer Security, and co-chaired the first student and faculty paper session held by the National Information Systems Security Colloquium on Education.  In 2000, she co-edited a special edition of the Elsevier International Journal of Computer and Telecommunications Networking (Computer Networks) on Recent Advances in Intrusion Detection Systems.  In 1999, Dr. Frincke chaired the 2nd International Workshop on Recent Advances in Intrusion Detection (RAID).  She has been on program committees of served as track chair for a variety of other conferences and workshops, such as the Workshop on Education in Computer Security and the Hawaiian International Conference on Software Systems.  Dr. Frincke has given invited talks for many groups nationally, ranging from the FBI to the State of Idaho’s bootcamp on E-Government for state leaders.  Her continued involvement in such a wide range of workshops and talks illustrates Dr. Frincke’s dedication to the issues of information assurance and security in education.

 

Dr. Frincke’s primary research interests involve intrusion detection and enterprise-wide system defense.  Her recent work emphasizes aspects of collaboration between remote sites and investigatory techniques for cyber attacks that cross enterprise boundaries.  She has additionally been involved in research topics such as testing, graphical user interface and interface management, visualization techniques, and object-oriented design.  Dr. Frincke’s students are currently engaged in research involving large-scale intrusion detection, use of agents to investigate computer crimes spanning multiple administrative domains, partial detection of intrusions, and other related topics.  Dr. Frincke has also served as PI or CoPI on funded research projects totaling nearly $4M in the past five years.

 

Not only did Dr. Frincke establish the Center for Secure and Dependable Systems along with Dr. Alves-Foss but she also co-founded TriGeo Network Security, a small Idaho-based corporation that has recently begun to expand into the realm of computer security and intrusion detection systems software.  She currently works with TriGeo as Director of Managed Security Products to perform technology transfers of security products from the academic laboratory to current practice. 

 

In recognition of her work at the University of Idaho, Dr. Frincke has received a number of awards, including the University’s highest award for Teaching, as well as its highest award for Outreach.  She was named Outstanding Faculty Member of the College of Engineering from 1999-2000 and Outstanding Young (Untenured) Faculty Member for 1998-1999.  The University of Idaho nominated Dr. Frincke as their candidate for CMU’s Distinguished Professor of the Year Award in both 1999 and 2000.
