Securing information systems against advanced persistent threats (APTs).
Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) have been a major challenge in securing both Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) systems. APTs are sophisticated attacks that masquerade their actions to navigate around defenses, breach networks, often over multiple network hosts, and …

ALFA-Chains: An Artificial Intelligence Approach to Exploit Chain Discovery in Networks
Exploit chains play a crucial role in advanced persistent threats (APTs) and other malicious cyber campaigns. Sophisticated attackers can navigate across a network, escalate their privileges, and compromise valuable targets by executing the right exploits in the right order. However, finding these …
