Modeling the Human in Cybersecurity |
|
 |
Human behavior and emotion play an important role in the cyber domain and in shaping policy decisions. This stream of research seeks to develop new techniques for analyzing emotion and understanding human behavior in the cyber domain. The results have implications for policy making, cyber intelligence analysis, and decision support. |
Social-Media-based Cyber-Situational Understanding |
|
 |
Social media analytics and network science are increasingly applied to cybersecurity and intelligence analysis. We are developing a new class of social media analytics techniques and systems that incorporate advanced analytics and models to extract and analyze user opinion from voluminous social media data. |
Cyber-Intelligence Informatics, Modeling, and Simulation |
|
 |
The volume, velocity, and variety of data useful in the cyber domain are growing rapidly. New techniques and systems are needed to assist in intelligent analysis, modeling, and simulation of cyber phenomena. This stream of research develops new theories, approaches, and technologies for analyzing and visualizing big data in the cyber domain. |
Vulnerability Assessment and Threat Mitigation of Cyber-Physical Systems |
|
 |
Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are increasingly used in the military and civilian domains. Their security is also of increasing concern. This stream of research is developing new techniques, metrics, and systems to automatically assess and to mitigate vulnerabilities of CPS. |
