Dynamic Defense for Adaptive Resilience Against Emerging Threats in Microgrid Cybersecurity Games
… nominal functionality, leading to instability. Rootkits also tend to eavesdrop on nominal system behavior to learn how to hide their actions from the microgrid defender in an effective manner. These abilities can prove to be particularly lethal for the power grid, allowing the malware to achieve …

CPU Transparent Protection of OS Kernel and Hypervisor Integrity with Programmable DRAM
Increasingly, cyber attacks (e.g., kernel rootkits) target the inner rings of a computer system, and they have seriously undermined the integrity of the entire computer system. To eliminate these threats, it is imperative to develop innovative solutions running below the attack surface. This paper …

Proactive abuse prevention in clouds
… etc.), hidden from (as in virtualization-aware rootkits) or altogether turned off (by getting root access). To make matters worse, hackers have invented automated mechanisms that exploit the freemium business model, allowing them to engineer large pools of resources by combining together the …
