Offensive security-tests are a common way to pro-actively discover potential vulnerabilities. They are performed by specialists, often called penetration-testers or white-hat hackers. The chronic lack of available white-hat hackers prevents…
Cloud computing provisions computer resources at a cost-effective way based on demand. Therefore it has become a viable solution for big data analytics and artificial intelligence which have been widely adopted in various domain science.…
Cloud providers typically charge for their services. There are diverse pricing models which often follow a pay-per-use paradigm. The consumers' payments are expected to cover all cost which incurs to the provider for processing, storage,…
Cloud systems are dynamic environments which make it difficult to keep track of security risks that resources are exposed to. Traditionally, risk assessment is conducted for individual assets to evaluate existing threats; their results,…
The history behind the development of cloud computing is more than several decades of technological progress in the fields of virtualization, distributed systems, and high-speed networking, but its current application is much broader than…
Organizations employ various adversary models in order to assess the risk and potential impact of attacks on their networks. Attack graphs represent vulnerabilities and actions an attacker can take to identify and compromise an…
In this work we start walking the path to a new perspective for viewing cyberwarfare scenarios, by introducing conceptual tools (a formal model) to evaluate the costs of an attack, to describe the theater of operations, targets, missions,…
