Big data is gaining overwhelming attention since the last decade. Almost all the fields of science and technology have experienced a considerable impact from it. The cloud computing paradigm has been targeted for big data processing and…
The growth of local data annually implies extra charges for the customers, which makes their business slowing down. Cloud computing paradigm comes with new technologies that offer a very economic and cost-effective solution, but the…
Business analytics processes are often composed from orchestrated, collaborating services, which are consumed by users from multiple cloud systems (in different security realms), which need to be engaged dynamically at runtime. If…
Securing cloud configurations is an elusive task, which is left up to system administrators who have to base their decisions on ``trial and error'' experimentations or by observing good practices (e.g., CIS Benchmarks). We propose a…
It is very challenging part to keep safely all required data that are needed in many applications for user in cloud. Storing our data in cloud may not be fully trustworthy. Since client doesn't have copy of all stored data, he has to depend…
The 5th generation (5G) network adopts a great number of revolutionary technologies to fulfill continuously increasing requirements of a variety of applications, including ultra-high bandwidth, ultra-low latency, ultra-massive device…
The advent of distributed computing systems will offer great flexibility for application workloads, while also imposing more attention to security, where the future advent and adoption of quantum technology can introduce new security…
Attack-Defence Trees (ADTs) are well-suited to assess possible attacks to systems and the efficiency of counter-measures. In this paper, we first enrich the available constructs with reactive patterns that cover further security scenarios,…
Moving target defense (MTD) in power grids is an emerging defense technique that has gained prominence in the recent past. It aims to solve the long-standing problem of securing the power grid against stealthy attacks. The key idea behind…
The emerging trend towards distributed (cloud) systems (DS) has widely arrived whether in the automotive, public or the financial sector, but the execution of services of heterogeneous service providers is exposed to several risks. Beside…
Secure cloud storage is an issue of paramount importance that both businesses and end-users should take into consideration before moving their data to, potentially, untrusted clouds. Migrating data to the cloud raises multiple privacy…
Deploying machine learning (ML) in dynamic data-driven applications systems (DDDAS) can improve the security of industrial control systems (ICS). However, ML-based DDDAS are vulnerable to adversarial attacks because adversaries can alter…
Cloud computing is a trending technology in the field of Information Technology as it allows sharing of resources over a network. The reason Cloud computing gained traction so rapidly was because of its performance, availability and low…
The growing system complexity from microservice architectures and the bilateral enhancement of artificial intelligence (AI) for both attackers and defenders presents increasing security challenges for cloud-native operations. In particular,…
There is an exponential growth of connected Internet of Things (IoT) devices. These have given rise to applications that rely on real time data to make critical decisions quickly. Enterprises today are adopting cloud at a rapid pace. There…
Safety and reliability are important in the cloud computing environment. This is especially true today as distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks constitute one of the largest threats faced by Internet users and cloud computing…
With the emergence of industrial IoT and cloud computing, and the advent of 5G and edge clouds, there are ambitious expectations on elasticity, economies of scale, and fast time to market for demanding use cases in the next generation of…
In this article, we propose a 3D mobile crowdsensing (3D-MCS) framework aimed at sustainable urban digital twins (UDTs). The framework comprises four key mechanisms: (1) the 3D-MCS mechanism, consisting of active and passive models; (2) the…
Cloud service owners need to continuously monitor their services to ensure high availability and reliability. Gaps in monitoring can lead to delay in incident detection and significant negative customer impact. Current process of monitor…
Moving mission-oriented enterprise applications to cloud environments is a major IT strategic task and requires a systematic approach. The foci of this paper are to review and examine existing cloud migration approaches from the process…
