Abstract

The sophistication of cyberattacks has significantly increased, making it almost certain that organizations can be victims of cyberattacks at any time. Managing cybersecurity risk is critical for any organization so that informed decisions can be made to tackle risks before they materialize. However, performing effective risk management is always challenging due to the constant changes in organizational infrastructure and security posture, including the adoption of new applications and the reconfiguration or updating of existing assets and their dependencies, as well as the potential exploitation of vulnerabilities. Despite the wider adoption of AI enabled solution in  cybersecurity , but lack of focus on the analysing  dynamic parameters using AI models  and their integration into cybersecurity  risk management. Additionally, AI-enable cybersecurity solution needs to assure the Responsible AI practice for trustworthy AI system development and use 

This talk presents dynamic Cyber Security Risk Management (d-CSRM)) to tackle this challenge by integrating for assessing and managing the risk. It considers hybrid AI-enabled model that combines both linear regression and deep learning,  with responsible AI practice to assess the risk.

The Cyber CNI Speaker series aims to raise awareness and understanding of cyber security issues among all audiences. It aims to enable an ongoing dialogue between experts from industry and academia and the general public (citizens, families, small and large businesses, public organizations, etc.). All of us are concerned.

The events are broadcast live on Youtube (https://talk.cybercni.fr/) and LinkedIn, allowing worldwide remote participation – including a tool to participate in the discussion.

How the digital transformation is changing our lives

Our society relies more and more on information and operational technologies. Examples include water, energy, heat and cooling supply, communications, healthcare, production and processing of goods, transportation, national security, banking, research and education, and food production.

What all these areas have in common is that they make intensive use of networked distributed computer systems. These systems can be attacked in many ways. This is no longer just a problem for computer “pros” because computer systems are essential to all of us. The effects of “cyber-attacks” range from power outages to the collapse of the health care or banking sectors.

[T35] Formally verifying security properties of cyber-physical systems – Mikael Asplund

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Fri, June 28th, 2024, 2h00pm CET, we welcome Mikael Asplund from Linköping University for another edition of TALK.CYBERcni.fr on “Formally verifying security properties of cyber-physical systems”. Share and join!

Join Mikael Asplund from Linköping University as he delves into the critical need for rigorous and verifiable development methods in our increasingly connected world. In his talk on “Formally Verifying Security Properties of Cyber-Physical Systems,” Asplund will explore how formal methods can be leveraged to ensure the security of networked systems at multiple abstraction levels. Discover the challenges and breakthroughs in translating high-level security requirements into low-level implementations, and learn why keeping up with the sophistication of cyber threats is more crucial than ever. After the talk, engage directly with Asplund in a lively 45-minute discussion. Bring your questions and ideas to this interactive session and be part of the conversation shaping the future of cyber-physical security!

Abstract

Cyber-physical systems are often  safety-critical and require a rigorous  development process to reduce  the risk of hazards to an acceptable  level. Traditionally, this meant  isolated components with predictable  run-time behaviour, combined with  redundancy to achieve fault tolerance.  Today, we consider it normal to  have internet-connected cars,  management of critical infrastructure  running in the cloud, and  air-traffic control that operate remotely  with digital screens instead  of windows for the operators. At the same  time, the cyber threats have  grown drastically in frequency and  sophistication putting many of these  connected cyber-physical systems  at risk. Unfortunately, we have not  kept up with the development of  rigorous and verifiable development  methods to match the increased  connectivity and complexity of our  critical systems. In this talk I  will discuss opportunities and  challenges of using formal methods to  verify security properties in  cyber-physical systems. The focus will be  on networked cyber-physical  systems considering three different  abstraction levels, entity  coordination, cryptographic protocol design,  and implementation of  communication protocols. I will discuss how  high-level requirements can  be refined and translated to low-level  properties, show some examples of  what we can show, and where we are  still struggling to find suitable  abstractions and models.
