Label-Efficient Training Updates for Malware Detection over Time

Machine Learning ML-based detectors are becoming essential to counter the proliferation of malware. However, common ML algorithms are not designed to cope with the dynamic nature of real-world settings, where both legitimate and malicious software evolve. This distribution drift causes models...

Understanding Concept Drift with Deprecated Permissions in Android Malware Detection

Permission analysis is a widely used method for Android malware detection. It involves examining the permissions requested by an application to access sensitive data or perform potentially malicious actions. In recent years, various machine learning ML algorithms have been applied to Android...

REAL-IoT: Characterizing GNN Intrusion Detection Robustness under Practical Adversarial Attack

Graph Neural Network GNN-based network intrusion detection systems NIDS are often evaluated on single datasets, limiting their ability to generalize under distribution drift. Furthermore, their adversarial robustness is typically assessed using synthetic perturbations that lack realism. This...
