Dear All, We submitted 2 new papers related to Sparta/Safair. 1. Title: The effects of data balancing procedures on surrogate explainability methods in network cybersecurity-related streamed difficult data By: Szczepanski, Komisarek, Pawlicki, Kozik, Choras. Venue: IJCNN 2021 conference Abstract: Handling the data imbalance problem is one of the crucial steps in a machine learning pipeline. The research community is well aware of the effects of data imbalance on machine learning algorithms. At the same time, there is a rising need for explainability of AI, especially in difficult, high-stakes domains like network intrusion detection. In this paper, the effects of data balancing procedures on two explainability procedures implemented to explain a neural network used for network intrusion detection are evaluated. The discrepancies between the two methods are highlighted and important conclusions are drawn. 2. Title:Is the COVID-19 pandemic helping to bridge the digital skill and cybersecurity awareness-related gender gap? By: A. Pawlicka, R. Tomaszewska, E. Krause, D. Jaroszewska-Choras, M.Pawlicki, M.Choras ́ Venue: IEEE Security and Privacy Abstract: Women tend to possess lower digital competence than men. This may lead to them being socially excluded and vulnerable to cybersecurity threats. This study concerned the digital literacy and the cybersecurity awareness of Polish women who have been forced to work online due to the COVID-19 pandemic. If accepted we plan to acknowledge SPARTA. Kind Regards, Prof. Michal Choras

[SPARTA - bodies.dissemination-committee] article submission

by Mohammad Reza Norouzian

Dear all, We are submitting a paper to the "IFIP SEC" conference this year. If it is accepted, we acknowledge SPARTA. Title: Hybroid: Toward Android Malware Detection and Categorization with Program Code and Network Traffic Abstract: Android malicious applications have become so sophisticated that they can bypass endpoint protection measures. Therefore, it is safe to admit that traditional anti-malware techniques have become cumbersome, thereby raising the need to develop efficient ways to detect Android malware. In this paper, we present Hybroid, a hybrid Android malware detection and categorization solution that utilizes program code structures as static behavioral features and network traffic as dynamic behavioral features for detection (binary classification) and categorization (multi-label classification). For static analysis, we introduce a natural language processing-inspired technique based on function call graph embeddings and design a graph neural network-based approach to convert the whole graph structure of an Android app to a vector. In dynamic analysis, we extract network flow features from the raw network traffic by capturing each application's network flow. Finally, Hybroid utilizes the network flow features combined with the graphs' vectors to detect and categorize the malware. Our solution gets 99.6% accuracy on average for malware detection and 97.6% accuracy for malware categorization.

[SPARTA - bodies.dissemination-committee] [SPARTA] A publication with acknowledgment of SPARTA

by Artsiom Yautsiukhin

Dear All I would like to let you know that we have a paper under evaluation of "Computers & Security" acknowledging SPARTA. The title and abstract are the following (the pre-print is attached): Title: Optimisation of cyber insurance coverage with selection of cost effective security controls. Abstract: Nowadays, cyber threats are considered among the most dangerous risks by top management of enterprises. One way to deal with these risks is to insure them, but cyber insurance is still quite expensive. The insurance fee can be reduced if organisations improve their cyber security protection, i.e., reducing the insured risk. In other words, organisations need an investment strategy to decide the optimal amount of investments into cyber insurance and self-protection. In this work, we propose an approach to help a risk-averse organisation to distribute its cyber security investments in a cost-efficient way. What makes our approach unique is that next to defining the amount of investments in cyber insurance and self-protection, our proposal also explicitly defines how these investments should be spent by selecting the most cost-ecffiient security controls. Moreover, we provide an exact algorithm for the control selection problem considering several threats at the same time and compare this algorithm with other approximate algorithmic solutions. -- ___________ best regard, Artsiom Yautsiukhin
