"A Decision Makers View of Cyber" by Rick Fawcett, Vice President Strategy and Business Development at ADGA.

From a strategic decision makers perspective, cyber security is a business decision, not a technical one. In fact, most decision makers will not understand the technology. Deciding on the investment in cyber protection must balance factors such as the solution implementation and sustainment costs, business process impacts and legal requirements against the risks of a successful attack. An attack could include lost revenue, impact on business reputation, legal liabilities, and the cost of system restoral. Cyber security needs and options must be presented in these terms, not technical terms.

October 18th at 12pm ADT:  "Label Flipping Mitigation in Deep-Learning-Based IoT Profiling" by Dr. Euclides Carlos Pinto Neto, Postdoctoral Fellow, Canadian Institute for Cybersecurity.

Abstract: Internet of Things (IoT) applications have been helping society in several ways. However, challenges still must be faced to enable efficient and secure IoT operations. In this context, IoT profiling refers to the service of identifying and classifying IoT devices' behavior based on different features using different approaches (e.g., Deep Learning). Furthermore, data poisoning attacks are challenging to detect and mitigate and can degrade the performance of a trained model. Thereupon, the main goal of this research is to propose the Overlapping Label Recovery (OLR) framework to mitigate the effects of label flipping attacks in Deep-Learning-based IoT profiling. OLR uses Random Forests (RF) as underlying cleaners to recover labels. After that, the dataset is re-evaluated and new labels are produced to minimize the impact of label flipping. In fact, OLR can be configured using different hyperparameters and we investigate how different values can improve the recovery procedure. The results are obtained by evaluating Deep Learning (DL) models using a poisoned version of the CIC IoT Dataset 2022 and demonstrate that training overlap needs to be controlled to maintain good performance and that the proposed strategy improves the overall profiling performance in all cases investigated.

October 19th at 12pm ADT:  "Enhancing Generalizability in DDoS Attack Detection Systems through Transfer Learning and Ensemble Learning Approaches" by Dr. Mahdi Rabbani, Postdoctoral Fellow, Canadian Institute for Cybersecurity.

Abstract: With the increasing sophistication of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, the need for robust and adaptable detection systems has become imperative. Traditional DDoS detection systems often struggle with adapting to evolving attack strategies and dealing with imbalanced data distributions. Consequently, these challenges often lead to reduced detection accuracy and increased false positives. To address this challenge, we propose a hybrid deep learning framework that leverages the power of transfer learning to transfer knowledge learned from a balanced source domain to improve the performance of a target domain characterized by highly imbalanced data distributions. Additionally, we utilize a Meta classifier based on ensemble learning methods to combine the strengths of multiple base classifiers, effectively mitigating the risk of overfitting, and increasing the overall robustness of the detection system. Through empirical experiments and evaluations on different DDoS attack datasets (CICDoS2019, CICIDS2017), we demonstrate the efficiency and effectiveness of our approach in achieving higher accuracy and improved generalization capabilities.

October 24th, 12pm ADT:  "When Qubits Conquer Bits - Securing the Quantum Future with Hybrid Cryptography" by Karl Holmqvist, Founder & CEO, Lastwall (Vancouver, BC).

Abstract: The advent of quantum computing represents a seismic shift that will break the public-key cryptosystems securing our digital world. Quantum algorithms like Shor’s can efficiently crack widely used encryption schemes including RSA, ECC, and Diffie-Hellman. This poses an unprecedented risk to confidential data, communications, financial systems, intellectual property and more as quantum computers scale up. To counter this threat, we must transition to quantum-safe "post-quantum" (PQ) cryptographic systems. During the migration to quantum-safe systems, hybrid encryption utilizing PQ key establishment and traditional cryptography provides an optimal blend of security, performance and interoperability. To stay ahead of the quantum threat, organizations must evaluate their risk exposure and begin migrating to hybrid quantum-safe encryption, prioritizing high-value data and new deployments. The time to act is now to ensure our data remains secure in the coming quantum age.
