The challenge of this paper is to underline the capability of an Event-Cloud Platform to support efficiently an emergency situation. We chose to focus on a nuclear crisis use case. The proposed approach consists in modeling the business…
In this work, we analyze to what extent actors target poorly-secured cloud storage buckets for attack. We deployed hundreds of AWS S3 honeybuckets with different names and content to lure and measure different scanning strategies. Actors…
The internet landscape is growing and at the same time becoming more heterogeneous. Services are performed via computers and networks, critical data is stored digitally. This enables freedom for the user, and flexibility for operators. Data…
Serverless computing has revolutionized cloud computing by offering users an efficient, cost-effective way to develop and deploy applications without managing infrastructure details. However, serverless cloud users remain vulnerable to…
The recent past has seen the adoption of multi-cloud deployments by enterprises due to availability, features, and regulatory requirements. A typical deployment involves parts of an application/workloads running inside a private cloud with…
In cloud computing environments with many virtual machines, containers, and other systems, an epidemic of malware can be highly threatening to business processes. In this vision paper, we introduce a hierarchical approach to performing…
Algorithmic complexity vulnerabilities are a class of security problems that enables attackers to trigger the worst-case complexity of certain algorithms. Such vulnerabilities can be leveraged to deploy low-volume, asymmetric, CPU-based…
