The threat hunter’s gambit

Welcome to this week's edition of the Threat Source newsletter. " Study hard what interests you the most in the most undisciplined, irreverent and original manner possible." ― Richard Feynman " I had discovered that learning something, no matter how complex, wasn't hard when I had a reason to wan...

Exploiting Timing Side-Channels in Quantum Circuits Simulation Via ML-Based Methods

As quantum computing advances, quantum circuit simulators serve as critical tools to bridge the current gap caused by limited quantum hardware availability. These simulators are typically deployed on cloud platforms, where users submit proprietary circuit designs for simulation. In this work, we...

Mitigating Data Poisoning Attacks to Local Differential Privacy

The distributed nature of local differential privacy LDP invites data poisoning attacks and poses unforeseen threats to the underlying LDP-supported applications. In this paper, we propose a comprehensive mitigation framework for popular frequency estimation, which contains a suite of novel...

Columbo - A Computer Forensic Analysis Tool Used To Simplify And Identify Specific Patterns In Compromised Datasets

Columbo is a computer forensic analysis tool used to simplify and identify specific patterns in compromised datasets. It breaks down data to small sections and uses pattern recognition and machine learning models to identify adversaries behaviour and their possible locations in compromised Window...

Monitor More, Worry Less. Outpace Threats With Machine Learning.

In the past two years, enterprises have created more data than has been created in the entire history of humankind. At scale, securing this amount of data requires a re-think of how we grant and revoke access to sensitive files and, more importantly, how we identify and track the inevitable acces...
