Security metrics have received significant attention. However, they have not been
systematically explored based on the understanding of attack-defense interactions, which …

Forecasting future attacks is a big challenge for network administrators because future is
generally unknown. Nevertheless, some information about the future can help us make …

With the increasing frequency and sophistication of network attacks, network administrators
are facing tremendous challenges in making fast and optimum decisions during critical …

This paper introduces an autonomic model-based cyber security management approach for
the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystems. The approach aims at realizing a self-protecting …

The increasing amount of network-based attacks evolved to one of the top concerns
responsible for network infrastructure and service outages. In order to counteract these …

Multi-step attacks have been widely adopted by attackers, resulting in privacy leakage.
Although many cost-sensitive approaches have been proposed to respond to the multi-step …

We propose a novel approach for automated intrusion response systems to assess the value
of the loss that could be suffered by a compromised resource. A risk assessment component …

An important requirement of an intrusion detection system (IDS) is that it be effective and
efficient; that is, it should detect a large percentage of intrusions, while still keeping the false …

This book chapter reviews the history of Healthcare Information Systems (HISs), discusses
recent cyber security threats affecting HISs, and then introduces the autonomic computing …

Finding adequate responses to ongoing attacks on ICT systems is a pertinacious problem
and requires assessments from different perpendicular viewpoints. However, current …
