Side Channel Detection Of Pc Rootkits Using Nonlinear Phase Space, Rebecca Clark

Poster Presentations

Cyberattacks are increasing in size and scope yearly, and the most effective and common means of attack is through malicious software executed on target devices of interest. Malware threats vary widely in terms of behavior and impact and, thus, effective methods of detection are constantly being sought from the academic research community to offset both volume and complexity. Rootkits are malware that represent a highly feared threat because they can change operating system integrity and alter otherwise normally functioning software. Although normal methods of detection that are based on signatures of known malware code are the standard line of defense, …

Using Torchattacks To Improve The Robustness Of Models With Adversarial Training, William S. Matos Díaz

Cybersecurity: Deep Learning Driven Cybersecurity Research in a Multidisciplinary Environment

Adversarial training has proven to be one of the most successful ways to defend models against adversarial examples. This process consists of training a model with an adversarial example to improve the robustness of the model. In this experiment, Torchattacks, a Pytorch library made for importing adversarial examples more easily, was used to determine which attack was the strongest. Later on, the strongest attack was used to train the model and make it more robust against adversarial examples. The datasets used to perform the experiments were MNIST and CIFAR-10. Both datasets were put to the test using PGD, FGSM, and …

Information Systems For Business And Beyond, David T. Bourgeois, James L. Smith, Shouhong Wang, Joseph Mortati

Open Textbooks

This book is written as an introductory text, meant for those with little or no experience with computers or information systems. While sometimes the descriptions can get a bit technical, every effort has been made to convey the information essential to understanding a topic while not getting overly focused in detailed terminology.

The text is organized around thirteen chapters divided into three major parts, as follows:

• Part 1: What Is an Information System?

◦ Chapter 1: What Is an Information System? – This chapter provides an overview of information systems, including the history of how information systems got to …
