Improving Router Security using BERT
John Carter, Spiros Mancoridis, Pavlos Protopapas +2
Previous work on home router security has shown that using system calls to train a transformer-based language model built on a BERT-style encoder using contrastive learning is effe…
Towards Type Agnostic Cyber Defense Agents
Erick Galinkin, Emmanouil Pountrourakis, Spiros Mancoridis
With computing now ubiquitous across government, industry, and education, cybersecurity has become a critical component for every organization on the planet. Due to this ubiquity o…
The Price of Pessimism for Automated Defense
Erick Galinkin, Emmanouil Pountourakis, Spiros Mancoridis
The well-worn George Box aphorism ``all models are wrong, but some are useful'' is particularly salient in the cybersecurity domain, where the assumptions built into a model can ha…
Simulation of Attacker Defender Interaction in a Noisy Security Game
Erick Galinkin, Emmanouil Pountourakis, John Carter +1
In the cybersecurity setting, defenders are often at the mercy of their detection technologies and subject to the information and experiences that individual analysts have. In orde…
Evaluation of an Anomaly Detector for Routers using Parameterizable Malware in an IoT Ecosystem
John Carter, Spiros Mancoridis
This work explores the evaluation of a machine learning anomaly detector using custom-made parameterizable malware in an Internet of Things (IoT) Ecosystem. It is assumed that the…
Evaluating Attacker Risk Behavior in an Internet of Things Ecosystem
Erick Galinkin, John Carter, Spiros Mancoridis
In cybersecurity, attackers range from brash, unsophisticated script kiddies and cybercriminals to stealthy, patient advanced persistent threats. When modeling these attackers, we…
Behavioral Malware Classification using Convolutional Recurrent Neural Networks
Bander Alsulami, Spiros Mancoridis
Behavioral malware detection aims to improve on the performance of static signature-based techniques used by anti-virus systems, which are less effective against modern polymorphic…
