Abstract Database systems have consistently been prime targets for cyber-attacks and threats due to the critical nature of the data they store. Despite the increasing reliance on database management systems, this field continues to face numerous cyber-attacks. Database management systems serve as the foundation of any information system or application. Any cyber-attack can result in significant damage to the database system and loss of sensitive data. Consequently, cyber risk classifications and assessments play a crucial role in risk management and establish an essential framework for identifying and responding to cyber threats. Risk assessment aids in understanding… More >

Abstract The use of the Internet of Things (IoT) is expanding at an unprecedented scale in many critical applications due to the ability to interconnect and utilize a plethora of wide range of devices. In critical infrastructure domains like oil and gas supply, intelligent transportation, power grids, and autonomous agriculture, it is essential to guarantee the confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of data collected and exchanged. However, the limited resources coupled with the heterogeneity of IoT devices make it inefficient or sometimes infeasible to achieve secure data transmission using traditional cryptographic techniques. Consequently, designing a lightweight secure More >

Abstract Recently, Internet of Things (IoT) devices produces massive quantity of data from distinct sources that get transmitted over public networks. Cybersecurity becomes a challenging issue in the IoT environment where the existence of cyber threats needs to be resolved. The development of automated tools for cyber threat detection and classification using machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) tools become essential to accomplish security in the IoT environment. It is needed to minimize security issues related to IoT gadgets effectively. Therefore, this article introduces a new Mayfly optimization (MFO) with regularized extreme learning machine (RELM)… More >

Abstract In this paper, a cybersecurity threat warning model based on ant colony algorithm is designed to strengthen the accuracy of the cybersecurity threat warning model in the warning process and optimize its algorithm structure. Through the ant colony algorithm structure, the local global optimal solution is obtained; and the cybersecurity threat warning index system is established. Next, the above two steps are integrated to build the cybersecurity threat warning model based on ant colony algorithm, and comparative experiment is also designed. The experimental results show that, compared with the traditional qualitative differential game-based cybersecurity More >

Abstract Cybersecurity threats, including those involving machine learning, malware, phishing, and cryptocurrency, have become more sophisticated. They target sensitive information and put institutions, governments, and individuals in a continual state of risk. In 2019, phishing attacks became one of the most common and dangerous cyber threats. Such attacks attempt to steal sensitive data, such as login and payment card details, from financial, social, and educational websites. Many universities have suffered data breaches, serving as a prime example of victims of attacks on educational websites. Owing to advances in phishing tactics, strategies, and technologies, the end-user is… More >
