GoibhniUWE: A lightweight and modular container-based cyber range (2024)
Journal Article

Cyberattacks are rapidly evolving both in terms of techniques and frequency, from low-level attacks through to sophisticated Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs). There is a need to consider how testbed environments such as cyber ranges can be readily... Read More about GoibhniUWE: A lightweight and modular container-based cyber range.

Longitudinal risk-based security assessment of docker software container images (2023)
Journal Article

As the use of software containerisation has increased, so too has the need for security research on their usage, with various surveys and studies conducted to assess the overall security posture of software container images. To date, there has been v... Read More about Longitudinal risk-based security assessment of docker software container images.

Unsupervised one-class learning for anomaly detection on home IoT network devices
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In this paper we study anomaly detection methods for home IoT devices. Specifically, we address unsupervised one-class learning methods due to their ability to learn deviations from a single normal class. In a home IoT environment, this consideration...

Evaluating data distribution strategies in federated learning: A trade-off analysis between privacy and performance for IoT security
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Federated learning is an effective approach for training a global machine learning model. It uses locally acquired data without having to share local data with the centralised server. This method provides a machine learning model beneficial for all p...
