Industrial cyber-physical systems (ICPSs) manage critical infrastructures by controlling the processes based on the "physics" data gathered by edge sensor networks. Recent innovations in ubiquitous computing and communication technologies…
Measures of complex network analysis, such as vertex centrality, have the potential to unveil existing network patterns and behaviors. They contribute to the understanding of networks and their components by analyzing their structural…
Zero-day vulnerabilities represent some of the most critical threats in cybersecurity, as they correspond to previously unknown flaws in software or hardware that are actively exploited before vendors can develop and deploy patches. During…
Various networks such as cloud computing, water/gas/electricity networks, wireless sensor networks, transportation networks, and 4G/5G networks, have become an integral part of our daily lives. A binary-state network (BN) is often used to…
Increased automation has created an impetus to integrate infrastructure with wide-spread connectivity in order to improve efficiency, sustainability, autonomy, and security. Nonetheless, this reliance on connectivity and the inevitability…
Cloud security is one of the biggest concerns for many companies. The growth in the number and size of websites increases the need for better securing those websites. Manual testing and detection of web vulnerabilities can be very time…
Cloud computing has grown in importance in recent years which has led to a significant increase in Data Centre (DC) network requirements. A major driver of this change is virtualisation, which allows computing resources to be deployed on a…
Most of the current software security analysis tools assess vulnerabilities in isolation. However, sophisticated software supply chain security threats often stem from cascaded vulnerability and security weakness chains that span dependent…
Identifying the vulnerabilities exploited during cyberattacks is essential for enabling timely responses and effective mitigation in software security. This paper directly examines the process of predicting software vulnerabilities,…
The number of disclosed vulnerabilities has been steadily increasing over the years. At the same time, organizations face significant challenges patching their systems, leading to a need to prioritize vulnerability remediation in order to…
Centrality is an important notion in network analysis and is used to measure the degree to which network structure contributes to the importance of a node in a network. While many different centrality measures exist, most of them apply to…
With the development of network science, the various properties of complex networks have recently received extensive attention. Among these properties, the vulnerability of the communities (VoCs) is particularly important. In the…
In this paper, we present an approach for quantifying the propagated uncertainty of robot systems in an online and data-driven manner. Especially in Human-Robot Collaboration, keeping track of the safety compliance during run time is…
Traditional security analyses are often geared towards cryptographic primitives or protocols. Although such analyses are necessary, they cannot address a defender's need for insight into {\em which aspects of a networked system having a…
This paper focuses on a tension we discovered in the philosophical part of our multidisciplinary project on values in web-browser security. Our project draws on the methods and perspectives of empirical social science, computer science, and…
Risk assessment is an inevitable step in implementation of a cyber-defense strategy. An important part of this assessment is to reason about the impact of possible attacks. In this paper, we propose a framework for estimating the impact of…
A system vulnerability analysis technique (SVAT) for complex mission critical systems (CMCS) was developed in response to the need to be able to conduct penetration testing on large industrial systems which cannot be taken offline or risk…
Hundreds of defenses have been proposed to make deep neural networks robust against minimal (adversarial) input perturbations. However, only a handful of these defenses held up their claims because correctly evaluating robustness is…
This report presents a taxonomy of vulnerabilities created as a part of an effort to develop a framework for deriving verification and validation strategies to assess software security. This taxonomy is grounded in a theoretical model of…
Companies and network operators perform risk assessment to inform policy-making, guide infrastructure investments or to comply with security standards such as ISO 27001. Due to the size and complexity of these networks, risk assessment…
