Investigation of Cyber Incidents

Cyber Incidents Investigation Research

In the realm of investigating cyber incidents, our research interests are diverse. A key focus is on detecting malware that exploits encryption schemes, a growing concern with the increasing use of encrypted traffic. Similarly, investigating ransomware threats, understanding their propagation on network and their impact on different types of malware. At the same time, exploiting packet-level information to predict the risk of cybercrimes based on existing threats, offering a more proactive approach to cybersecurity. These varied interests collectively contribute to our ongoing work and research in the rapidly evolving field of cyber incident investigation, as we strive to address some of the most pressing challenges in cybersecurity.

Vulnerabilities of AI Algorithms

AI Vulnerabilities Research

In the context of vulnerabilities associated with AI algorithms, our research interests encompass several vital areas. A primary focus lies in performing exhaustive execution to unearth hidden vulnerabilities that may, otherwise, go unnoticed, thereby bolstering the security of AI systems. Alongside this, we are engaged in investigating inference data poisoning attacks that can severely compromise AI operations. Additionally, we are engaged in investigating inference data poisoning attacks. Additionally, we emphasize on deploying effective countermeasures to mitigate such threats. Lastly, we are conducting research on generating adversarial Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) for critical applications, a topic of immense importance given the growing reliance on GANs in various domains. These collective areas of inquiry form our pursuit of addressing the threats, weaknesses, and design challenges associated with the deployment of AI systems.
