[SPARTA - bodies.dissemination-committee] Submission

by Algimantas Venckauskas

Dear all, We have submitted the paper „Technical Threat Intelligence Analytics: What and How to Visualize for Analytic Process“ to the 24th International Conference ELECTRONICS 2020 Abstract: Visual Analytics uses data visualization methods for enabling compelling analysis of data by engaging graphical and visual representation. In the domain of cybersecurity, convincing visual representation of data enables to ascertain valuable observations that allow the domain experts to construct efficient cyberattack mitigation strategies and provide useful decision support. In this paper, we present a survey of the visual analytics tools and methods in the domain of cybersecurity. We explore and discuss Technical Threat Intelligence visualization tools using the Five Question Method. We conclude the analysis of the works using Moody’s Physics of Notations, and VIS4ML ontology as a methodological background of visual analytics process. This paper is still under evaluation. If it gets accepted, we will acknowledge SPARTA. Best, Algimantas Venčkauskas Kauno technologijos universitetas

Dear Dissemination Committee, we have about to publish a paper for which we would like to acknowledge the SPARTA project. Please, find the version that we plan to submit in attachment and a brief description of the content, the venue and the relation with the activities of WP6 below. Please let us know if you have any objections or comments. Best regards Gabriele Costa === Title: WAF-A-MoLE: Evading Web Application Firewalls through Adversarial Machine Learning Venue: ACM Symposium on Applied Computing Relationship with SPARTA: The paper presents a a technique to evade machine learning-based web application firewalls (WAFs). This work shows that ML WAFs are not reliable in discriminating between attack payloads and harmless traffic.

by Eren Cakmak

Dear All, we submitted the paper "Towards Visual Debugging for Multi-Target Time Series Classification" to the**ACM IUI 2020. We request to acknowledge SPARTA if the paper is accepted. Abstract: * Multi-target classification of multivariate time series data poses a challenge in many real-world applications (e.g., predictive maintenance). Machine learning methods, such as random forests and neural networks, support training these classifiers. However, the debugging and analysis of possible misclassifications remain challenging due to the often complex relations between targets, classes, and the multivariate time series data. We propose a model-agnostic visual debugging workflow for multi-target time series classification that enables the examination of relations between targets, partially correct predictions, potential confusions, and the classified time series data. The workflow, as well as the prototype, aims to foster an in-depth analysis of multi-target classification results to identify potential causes of mispredictions visually. We demonstrate the usefulness of the workflow in the field of predictive maintenance in a usage scenario to show how users can iteratively explore and identify critical classes, as well as, relationships between targets.

Best regards Letterio Galletta === Title: Provably Secure Isolation for Interruptible Enclaved Execution on Small Microprocessors Venue: 33rd IEEE Computer Security Foundations Symposium Relationship with SPARTA: The paper studies the problem of extending a microprocessor that supports enclaved execution with new features but without breaking its security guarantees. In particular, the paper proposes a design for interruptible enclaves, and proves that they do not open the way to new attacks. Finally, we implemented our design on Sancus, a platform for developing IoT systems and evaluated its cost in terms of performance and hardware size.

[SPARTA - bodies.dissemination-committee] equest for SPARTA acknowledgment in paper

by Aušrius Juozapavičius

Dear All, we are planning on submitting a paper to the ECCWS conference (19th European Conference on Cyber Warfare and Security 25 - 26 June 2020, Chester, UK). We request to acknowledge SPARTA if the paper is accepted. Here is the title and abstract of the paper: Title: *Information Sharing in Cyber Defence Exercises* Abstract Availability and easy access to sophisticated cyber penetration testing tools enable ex- ploitation of vulnerabilities in different systems globally. Cyber attacks are executed by various actors – from script kiddies to state organisations. Repetitive nature and recognisable signatures of attacks raise demand for effective information sharing. Timely warnings about cyber incidents in other systems make it possible to identify related at- tacks locally. Early identification could save a substantial amount of money and time. International cyber community supports several commercial and open-source threat in- formation sharing platforms. Efficient use of these systems depends both on the quality of submitted information and the ability of the security specialist to receive, interpret, and integrate indicators of compromise into local defence systems. Business stakeholders tend to emphasise the importance of threat hunters, while the information-sharing aspect is overlooked. Therefore, there is a need for professionals who can assess risk levels of cyber incidents in a broad context and share concise information with team members, superiors, relevant institutions, and community. The complex nature of cyber attacks raised the popularity of live cyber defence exercises (CDX), where cybersecurity special- ists are trained using simulated real-life scenarios. However, the exercises are mostly oriented towards the development of technical competences. This paper addresses the problem of proper development of information sharing com- petence during the CDX. We performed a case study of two annual international CDX. Research data were collected using several techniques. First, the participants filled in pre- event and post-event questionnaires. Additionally, each defending team was continuously observed by a dedicated evaluation team member. Finally, incident reports in short and long forms were gathered. We distinguished challenges related to internal team collabora- tion, information sharing among the teams, and reporting to relevant authorities. Based on the findings, we present a methodology to integrate information sharing into the plan- ning and execution of CDX. The methodology encompasses activities, scoring strategies, scenario recommendations, tools, and communication-encouragement components. The presented enhancement creates an observable added value to the CDX training event. Keywords: Cyber defence exercises, incident information sharing, indicators of compromise, collaborative defence Sincerely, *Dr. Aušrius Juozapavičius* *Head of **Department of Defence Technologies* *The General Jonas **Ž**emaitis Military Academy of Lithuania* *Tel.: +370 5 210** 3555* *[image: cid:image005.png@01D1E813.C5E9EDC0]* <http://www.lka.lt/>*[image: cid:image006.png@01D1E813.C5E9EDC0]* <https://www.facebook.com/KaroAkademija/>*[image: cid:image007.png@01D1E813.C5E9EDC0]* <https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwDc7dsEQFc4lIakZqbSiig>
