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…
Existing visual grounding benchmarks primarily evaluate alignment between image regions and literal referring expressions, where models can often succeed by matching a prominent named category. We explore a complementary and more…
Software supply chain attacks have increased exponentially since 2020. The primary attack vectors for supply chain attacks are through: (1) software components; (2) the build infrastructure; and (3) humans (a.k.a software practitioners).…
ICS environments are vital to the operation of critical infrastructure such as power grids, water treatment facilities, and manufacturing plants. However, these systems are vulnerable to cyber attacks due to their reliance on interconnected…
Cyber vulnerability management is a critical function of a cybersecurity operations center (CSOC) that helps protect organizations against cyber-attacks on their computer and network systems. Adversaries hold an asymmetric advantage over…
In the evolving landscape of Software Engineering, the paradigm of software ecosystems has emerged, giving rise to proprietary software ecosystems (PSECO), with their central organizations known as keystones. PSECO is characterized by the…
The increasing use of machine learning in safety-critical domains amplifies the risk of adversarial threats, especially data poisoning attacks that corrupt training data to degrade performance or induce unsafe behavior. Most existing…
Large language model (LLM) agents are increasingly capable of autonomously conducting cyberattacks, posing significant threats to existing applications. This growing risk highlights the urgent need for a real-world benchmark to evaluate the…
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…
Content generation that is both relevant and up to date with the current threats of the target audience is a critical element in the success of any Cyber Security Exercise (CSE). Through this work, we explore the results of applying machine…
The Scrum framework has gained widespread adoption in the industry for its emphasis on collaboration and continuous improvement. However, it has not reached a similar relevance in Software Engineering (SE) curricula. This work reports the…
Traditional rule-based cybersecurity systems have proven highly effective against known malware threats. However, they face challenges in detecting novel threats. To address this issue, emerging cybersecurity systems are incorporating AI…
