Cyberspace is full of uncertainty in terms of advanced and sophisticated cyber threats which are equipped with novel approaches to learn the system and propagate themselves, such as AI-powered threats. To debilitate these types of threats,…
Cyber threats affect all kinds of organisations. Risk analysis is an essential methodology for cybersecurity as it allows organisations to deal with the cyber threats potentially affecting them, prioritise the defence of their assets and…
Purpose: An essential component of an organisation's cybersecurity strategy is building awareness and education of online threats, and how to protect corporate data and services. This research article focuses on this topic and proposes a…
Securing enterprise networks presents challenges in terms of both their size and distributed structure. Data required to detect and characterize malicious activities may be diffused and may be located across network and endpoint devices.…
As restaking protocols gain adoption across blockchain ecosystems, there is a need for Actively Validated Services (AVSs) to span multiple Shared Security Providers (SSPs). This leads to stake fragmentation which introduces new…
While there is a plethora of cybersecurity and risk management frameworks for different target audiences and use cases, micro-businesses (MBs) are often overlooked. As the smallest business entities, MBs represent a special case with regard…
In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, organisations face escalating cyber threats that can disrupt operations, compromise sensitive data, and inflict financial and reputational harm. A key reason for this lies in the organisations'…
In our digital world, access to personal and public data has become an item of concern, with challenging security and privacy aspects. Modern information systems are heterogeneous in nature and have an inherent security vulnerability, which…
Outsourcing data storage to the remote cloud can be an economical solution to enhance data management in the smart grid ecosystem. To protect the privacy of data, the utility company may choose to encrypt the data before uploading them to…
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Large Language Models (LLMs) are revolutionizing today's business practices; however, their adoption within small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) raises serious trust, ethical, and technical issues. In…
The aviation industry faces significant vulnerabilities from both physical and cybersecurity threats, highlighting the urgent need for enhanced cybersecurity measures amid increasingly sophisticated attacks. This paper systematically…
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) have become the weak spot of our economy for cyber attacks. These companies are large in number and often do not have the controls in place to prevent successful attacks, respectively are not…
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) are considered more vulnerable to cyber-attacks. However, and based on SMEs characteristics, they do not adopt good cybersecurity practices. To address the SMEs security adoption problem, we are…
The primary objective of this research is to examine the current state of digitalization and the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) within small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Italy. There is a significant gap between SMEs…
Traditionally, applications that are used in large and small enterprises were deployed on "bare metal" servers installed with operating systems. Recently, the use of multiple virtual machines (VMs) on the same physical server was adopted…
The rise of large-scale quantum computing poses a significant threat to traditional cryptographic security measures. Quantum attacks undermine current asymmetric cryptographic algorithms, rendering them ineffective. Even symmetric key…
K-means is one of the most widely used clustering models in practice. Due to the problem of data isolation and the requirement for high model performance, how to jointly build practical and secure K-means for multiple parties has become an…
Micro and small enterprises (SMEs) remain structurally vulnerable to cyber threats while facing capacity constraints that make formal compliance burdensome. This article develops a governance design model for proportionate SME…
Quantum computing is emerging as a significant threat to information protected by widely used cryptographic systems. Cryptographic methods, once deemed secure for decades, are now at risk of being compromised, posing a massive threat to the…
We design and develop a secret-sharing-scheme-based cyberattack detection model(S3CDM)that can detect unauthorized or illegal activities (especially insider attacks) and protect sensitive information within complex network infrastructures…
