Cybersecurity vulnerabilities in operational technology
… X as a case study. From our case study, the vulnerabilities arise in the third-party software and could be resolved by either updating the software with patches or using other alternative software. Linux kernel is the most vulnerable components with the Common Vulnerability Scoring System …

Examining metabolic vulnerabilities for cancer therapy
Metabolic reprogramming is essential for cancer cells to balance energetics, maintain redox homeostasis, and synthesize biosynthetic precursors. Many chemotherapeutics that target metabolism are essential components of standard cancer treatment regimens, arguing that there is a therapeutic window …

Transforming Vulnerabilities into Context-Aware, Visible Risks
<p>To mitigate known vulnerabilities in cybersecurity, organizations are in a desperate need for critical information, such as exploit code maturity, confidence about exploits, remediation capability, and own environmental contexts. Threats need to be contextualized so that they become visible …

Countering Cybersecurity Vulnerabilities in the Power System
<p>Security vulnerabilities in software pose an important threat to power grid security, which can be exploited by attackers if not properly addressed. Every month, many vulnerabilities are discovered and all the vulnerabilities must be remediated in a timely manner to reduce the chance of being …

Software and Hardware Techniques for Masking Security Vulnerabilities
… The thesis first studies real world security vulnerabilities via an analysis of available security data and experimentation. Results of the study show that: (i) Nearly 60% of the successful attacks exploit design defects in target applications that allow attackers to tamper with critical …

Automated detection of injection vulnerabilities in web applications
… forgery (XSRF), etc. are some examples of vulnerabilities that could allow malicious attacks on web applications and their infrastructure. Of the many attacks on web applications, injection attacks are one of the most popular ones. In this dissertation, we describe two different analysis …

Discovering Novel Microarchitectural Security Vulnerabilities in Modern Processors
… Many of these security issues are caused by vulnerabilities in software allowing for memory corruption, a kind of attack where the contents of a computer’s memory are corrupted by an attacker to change a program’s behavior. While much research has been done on how to improve software …

Demonstration of Vulnerabilities in Globally Distributed Additive Manufacturing
Globally distributed additive manufacturing is a relatively new frontier in the field of product lifecycle management. Designers are independent of additive manufacturing services, often thousands of miles apart. Manufacturing data must be transmitted electronically from designer to manufacturer to …

Investigating mitotic vulnerabilities that arise upon oncogenic cell transformation
During mitosis, cells must accurately divide their duplicated chromosomes into two new daughter cells. This process is highly regulated and much of this regulation is centered around kinetochores. Kinetochores are large proteinaceous structures built upon centromeric heterochromatin that must form …

Mapping the Landscape of Acquired Vulnerabilities in Ovarian Cancer
… unique to each tumor. To investigate more public vulnerabilities, I focused mechanistic studies on miRNAs displaying penetrance in greater than 5 cell lines. miR-517a reduced cell viability in over 30% of the panel and also reduced tumor burden in vivo. Functional analysis of the predicted targets …
