Autonomous browsing agents powered by large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used to automate web-based tasks. However, their reliance on dynamic content, tool execution, and user-provided data exposes them to a broad attack surface.…
SOA is a prominent paradigm for accomplishing reuse of services. Service reusability is one dominant factor which has a greater influence on achieving quality in SOA systems. There exists sufficient research in this area and researchers…
Users of shared control systems change their behavior in the presence of assistance, which conflicts with assumpts about user behavior that some assistance methods make. In this paper, we propose an analysis technique to evaluate the user's…
Insider threats are a particularly tricky cybersecurity issue, especially in zero-trust architectures (ZTA) where implicit trust is removed. Although the rule of thumb is never trust, always verify, attackers can still use legitimate…
As AI systems evolve into distributed ecosystems with autonomous execution, asynchronous reasoning, and multi-agent coordination, the absence of scalable, decoupled governance poses a structural risk. Existing oversight mechanisms are…
Stream-based monitoring is a real-time safety assurance mechanism for complex cyber-physical systems such as unmanned aerial vehicles. The monitor aggregates streams of input data from sensors and other sources to give real-time statistics…
In the service landscape, the issues of service selection, negotiation of Service Level Agreements (SLA), and SLA-compliance monitoring have typically been used in separate and disparate ways, which affect the quality of the services that…
What if a browser agent could learn your work simply by watching you do it? We present cotomi Act, a browser-based computer-using agent that combines reliable multi-step task execution with persistent organizational knowledge learned from…
Cloud computing is significantly reshaping the computing industry built around core concepts such as virtualization, processing power, connectivity and elasticity to store and share IT resources via a broad network. It has emerged as the…
AI control protocols serve as a defense mechanism to stop untrusted LLM agents from causing harm in autonomous settings. Prior work treats this as a security problem, stress testing with exploits that use the deployment context to subtly…
To characterize the structure, dynamics and operational state of the Internet it requires distributed measurements. Although in the last decades several systems capable to do this have been created, the easy access of these infrastructures…
We consider the problem of predictive monitoring (PM), i.e., predicting at runtime future violations of a system from the current state. We work under the most realistic settings where only partial and noisy observations of the state are…
An outstanding challenge with safety methods for human-robot interaction is reducing their conservatism while maintaining robustness to variations in human behavior. In this work, we propose that robots use confidence-aware game-theoretic…
We describe a shared control methodology that can, without knowledge of the task, be used to improve a human's control of a dynamic system, be used as a training mechanism, and be used in conjunction with Imitation Learning to generate…
Computer-use agents are increasingly capable of operating on real operating systems, but this capability has also increased the risks posed by prompt injection, indirect instructions, and visual attacks. Existing defenses typically rely on…
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is a popular authorization model used to manage data-access constraints in a wide range of systems. RBAC usually defines the static view on the access rights. However, to ensure dependability of a system, it…
Graphical user interface (GUI) agents powered by vision language models (VLMs) are rapidly moving from passive assistance to autonomous operation. However, this unrestricted action space exposes users to severe and irreversible financial,…
In organizations, employees work with information stored in files according to their duties and responsibilities. Windows uses resource-based access permissions that any permission for any user has to be set separately per resource. This…
In this article, we examine how security applies to Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). Before we discuss security for SOA, lets take a step back and examine what SOA is. SOA is an architectural approach which involves applications being…
Internet-of-things (IoT) devices are vulnerable to malicious operations by attackers, which can cause physical and economic harm to users; therefore, we previously proposed a sequence-based method that modeled user behavior as sequences of…
