This well-written and easily accessible information (even for those less technical) digs into the role that #LLMs bring to #cybersecurity. It starts off by quoting Marcus Hutchinson of the #NotPetya fame; "exploitable vulnerabilities exist in the space between how cybersystem designers think their system works and how it really works." It has four parts: 1. Review ways by which LLMs are commonly adapted to specific uses, emphasizing instruction and conversational fine-tunes, tasks for which they are evaluated, and their fundamental limitations. 2. A description of what to us are the most salient threats LLMs represent in cybersecurity, be they as tools for #cybercriminals or as novel attack surfaces if integrated into existing software. 3. Attempts to forecast the exposure and the development of technologies and science underpinning LLMs, as well as macro levers available to regulators to further cybersecurity in the age of LLMs. 4. Experts present #mitigation techniques that should allow safe and secure development and deployment of LLMs. Download and check it out!

LLM in cybersecurity - Open Access eBook: "... our goal is to provide cybersecurity practitioners with the knowledge needed to understand the risks of the increased availability of powerful LLMs and how they can be mitigated."

Appearing on the School of Public Affairs, American University's Department Spotlight series, I shared my perspectives on the evolving nature of cyber security, vulnerabilities- i.e., cybersecurity skill gaps and the rapid adaptability and adoption of new capabilities by malicious actors in cyberspace- challenges at the national and international levels. I also provided a brief background of my recent research on how malicious actors, including state and non-state actors- i.e., terrorist organizations- leverage cyberspace. #SPACyber #cyberpolicy #onlineradicalization #terroristuseofcyberspace

SAVE THE DATE 📅: The Cyber Civil Defense Summit returns this June 13, 2024! Join us at The International Spy Museum in Washington, D.C. for the UC Berkeley Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity’s second annual Cyber Civil Defense Summit. This one-of-a-kind gathering of cyber defenders, academics, and policymakers returns in 2024 with the mission of protecting the most vulnerable public infrastructure against cybersecurity threats. The theme of this year’s Summit is Data-Driven Resilience. Our exclusive panels will spotlight empirical research on topics in public interest cybersecurity and explore evidence-informed strategies to bolster the cyber resilience of civic organizations too often left behind in cybersecurity. Summit Registration opens on February 15!

Attitudes towards Cybercrime at UIST Professor Ustijana Rechkoska Shiksoka, Ph.D., Vice-Rector of the University of Information Science and Technology “St. Paul the Apostle,” discussed cybercrime and the challenges that the contemporary information society faces in dealing with this issue on MRT. Recognizing cybercrime as a societal threat, she emphasized the crucial need to educate professionals capable of providing modern solutions to safeguard not only government institutions but also various sectors within the state. The creation of defense solutions is emphasized, given the prohibitively high costs of ready-made solutions available in the global market. UIST stands out as an exemplary institution, showcasing an excellent strategy in the realm of cybersecurity.
