Educational games have been widely used to teach children about cyber security. This systematic literature review reveals evidence of positive learning outcomes, after analysing 91 such games reported in 68 papers published between 2010 and…
Hands-on training sessions become a standard way to develop and increase knowledge in cybersecurity. As practical cybersecurity exercises are strongly process-oriented with knowledge-intensive processes, process mining techniques and models…
Game theory is an established branch of mathematics that offers a rich set of mathematical tools for multi-person strategic decision making that can be used to model the interactions of decision makers in security problems who compete for…
This paper provides an efficient computational scheme to handle general security games from an adversarial risk analysis perspective. Two cases in relation to single-stage and multi-stage simultaneous defend-attack games motivate our…
A red team simulates adversary attacks to help defenders find effective strategies to defend their systems in a real-world operational setting. As more enterprise systems adopt AI, red-teaming will need to evolve to address the unique…
Security exploits can include cyber threats such as computer programs that can disturb the normal behavior of computer systems (viruses), unsolicited e-mail (spam), malicious software (malware), monitoring software (spyware), attempting to…
Teaching industry staff on cybersecurity issues is a fundamental activity that must be undertaken in order to guarantee the delivery of successful and robust products to market. Much research attention has been devoted to this topic over…
Serious games are defined as applied games that focus on the gamification of an experience (e.g., learning and training activities) and are not strictly for entertainment purposes. In recent years, serious games have become increasingly…
In recent times deep learning has been widely used for automating various security tasks in Cyber Domains. However, adversaries manipulate data in many situations and diminish the deployed deep learning model's accuracy. One notable example…
Numerous studies confirm Cybersecurity Awareness Games (CAGs) effectively bolster organisational security against cyberattacks. This article introduces a serious CAG, integrating the traditional South African Morabaraba board game into…
Multiplayer online gaming has witnessed an explosion in popularity over the past two decades. However, security issues continue to give rise to in-game cheating, deterring honest gameplay, detracting from user experience, and ultimately…
This chapter reports an empirical teaching experience integrating newsgame creation-serious games addressing current events and contributing to public debate-into an introductory game design course for engineering students. From 2010 to…
The gaming industry has experienced substantial growth, but cheating in online games poses a significant threat to the integrity of the gaming experience. Cheating, particularly in first-person shooter (FPS) games, can lead to substantial…
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in games on graphs within the research community, fueled by their relevance in applications such as economics, politics, and epidemiology. This paper aims to comprehensively detail the…
This paper explores the distinctions and connections between cybersecurity and ethical hacking, two vital disciplines in the protection of digital systems. It defines each field, outlines their goals and methodologies, and compares the…
Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated strong performance on tasks with short time frames, but struggle with tasks requiring longer durations. While datasets covering extended-duration tasks, such as software engineering tasks or…
Selecting the combination of security controls that will most effectively protect a system's assets is a difficult task. If the wrong controls are selected, the system may be left vulnerable to cyber-attacks that can impact the…
Cybersecurity increasingly relies on threat hunters to proactively identify adversarial activity, yet the cognitive work underlying threat hunting remains underexplored or insufficiently supported by existing tools. Building on prior…
Technology development efforts in autonomy and cyber-defense have been evolving independently of each other, over the past decade. In this paper, we report our ongoing effort to integrate these two presently distinct areas into a single…
To protect the systems exposed to the Internet against attacks, a security system with the capability to engage with the attacker is needed. There have been attempts to model the engagement/interactions between users, both benign and…
