Automated Sensor Node Malicious Activity Detection with Explainability Analysis.

Cybersecurity has become a major concern in the modern world due to our heavy reliance on cyber systems. Advanced automated systems utilize many sensors for intelligent decision-making, and any malicious activity of these sensors could potentially lead to a system-wide collapse. To ensure safety and security, it is essential to have a reliable system that can automatically detect and prevent any malicious activity, and modern detection systems are created based on machine learning (ML) models.

WHISPER: A Location Privacy-Preserving Scheme Using Transmission Range Changing for Internet of Vehicles.

Internet of Vehicles (IoV) has the potential to enhance road-safety with environment sensing features provided by embedded devices and sensors. This benignant feature also raises privacy issues as vehicles announce their fine-grained whereabouts mainly for safety requirements, adversaries can leverage this to track and identify users. Various privacy-preserving schemes have been designed and evaluated, for example, mix-zone, encryption, group forming, and silent-period-based techniques.

Security Defense Strategy for Intelligent Medical Diagnosis Systems (IMDS).

Aims: The Intelligence Medical Diagnosis System (IMDS) has been targeted by the cyber terrorists, who aim to destroy the Critical National Infrastructure (CNI). This paper is motivated by the most recent incidents happened worldwide and have resulted in the compromise of diagnosis results. This study was undertaken to show how the IMDS could be attacked and diagnosis results compromised and present a set of cyber defense strategies to prevent against such attacks.

Evaluating information security core human error causes (IS-CHEC) technique in public sector and comparison with the private sector.

Background: The number of reported public sector information security incidents has significantly increased recently including 22% related to the UK health sector. Over two thirds of these incidents pertain to human error, but despite this, there are limited published related works researching human error as it affects information security.

Method: This research conducts an empirical case study into the feasibility and implementation of the Information Security Core Human Error Causes (IS-CHEC) technique which is an information security adaptation of Human Error Assessment and Reduction Technique (HEART).

Electronic medical records and risk management in hospitals of Saudi Arabia.

Objective: Electronic medical records systems and the associated risks have been well studied in developed countries; the same cannot be said for systems in developing countries. Previous research in Saudi Arabian health-care organizations has shown a low level of quality in hospital services due to ineffective risk management. The objective of this research is to apply the Systems Theoretic Accident Modelling and Processes (STAMP) risk management technique in Saudi Arabia and evaluate its implementation.

Critical theory as an approach to the ethics of information security.

Information security can be of high moral value. It can equally be used for immoral purposes and have undesirable consequences. In this paper we suggest that critical theory can facilitate a better understanding of possible ethical issues and can provide support when finding ways of addressing them.
