Dr. Haya Shulman
German IT Security Award for cyber security researcher
Cybersecurity expert Dr. Haya Shulman has won the German IT Security Award, which is endowed with 100,000 euros. The prize is awarded by the Horst Görtz Foundation and is considered the most prestigious and most highly endowed prize for IT security in Germany.
The award winner works as a cyber security researcher at the Fraunhofer Institute for Secure Information Technology SIT and the National Research Center for Applied Cyber Security ATHENE in Darmstadt.
She received the award for the development of "Cache Test", a cyber security solution for the protection of Internet infrastructures.
Cache Test is a market-ready solution that can significantly improve internet security worldwide and was developed by Dr. Haya Shulman. Using Cache Test, manufacturers and operators can automatically test the security of their DNS products and infrastructures against so-called cache poisoning attacks. These attacks can, for example, lead to Internet users being redirected to fake websites and thus tricked into disclosing sensitive data and passwords.
They are also the basis for very far-reaching attacks that can be used to eavesdrop on telephone conversations or forge web certificates.
Haya Shulman is one of the world's leading scientists in cyber security. She studied computer science in Israel and came to Germany after completing her doctorate in 2014. At the Fraunhofer Institute for Secure Information Technology SIT, she heads the scientific department of Cybersecurity Analytics and Defense and is a member of the board of directors of ATHENE, the National Research Center for Applied Cybersecurity. She is also a visiting professor at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, where she heads the Fraunhofer Project Center for Cybersecurity. She also organizes the German Israeli Partnership Accelerator GIPA, which brings together young German and Israeli cybersecurity experts. She also regularly organizes events aimed at inspiring women in particular for cybersecurity, such as the Women in Cybersecurity conference series.
