Measuring Ransomware Lateral Movement Susceptibility Via Privilege-Weighted Adjacency Matrix Exponentiation

Ransomware impact hinges on how easily an intruder can move laterally and spread to the maximum number of assets. We present a graph-theoretic method to measure lateral-movement susceptibility and estimate blast radius. We build a directed multigraph where vertices represent assets and edges...

The Application of Transformer-Based Models for Predicting Consequences of Cyber Attacks

Cyberattacks are increasing, and securing against such threats is costing industries billions of dollars annually. Threat Modeling, that is, comprehending the consequences of these attacks, can provide critical support to cybersecurity professionals, enabling them to take timely action and alloca...
