Explainable Attention-Based LSTM Framework for Early Detection of AI-Assisted Ransomware Via File System Behavioral Analysis

Ransomware continues to evolve as one of the most disruptive cyber threats, with recent variants increasingly leveraging automated and AI-assisted techniques to evade traditional signature-based defenses. Early detection of such attacks remains a significant challenge, particularly when malicious...

Temporal Analysis Framework for Intrusion Detection Systems: A Novel Taxonomy for Time-Aware Cybersecurity

Most intrusion detection systems still identify attacks only after significant damage has occurred, detecting late-stage tactics rather than early indicators of compromise. This paper introduces a temporal analysis framework and taxonomy for time-aware network intrusion detection. Through a...

SoK: a Systematic Review of Context- and Behavior-Aware Adaptive Authentication in Mobile Environments

As mobile computing becomes central to digital interaction, researchers have turned their attention to adaptive authentication for its real-time, context- and behavior-aware verification capabilities. However, many implementations remain fragmented, inconsistently apply intelligent techniques, an...

Multi-Domain Anomaly Detection in a 5G Network

With the advent of 5G, mobile networks are becoming more dynamic and will therefore present a wider attack surface. To secure these new systems, we propose a multi-domain anomaly detection method that is distinguished by the study of traffic correlation on three dimensions: temporal by analyzing...

Fishwrap Campaign Sways Social Media Users with Old News

An influence operation that recycles old news about terror incidents and re-publishes them as if they were new is making the rounds on social media, according to Recorded Future analysis. The technique, which the researchers have dubbed Fishwrap since it repurposes old news, is also using a speci...
