Forensic Implications in the Continuous Discontinuity of IoT Innovations

IoT innovations produce interesting opportunities, impact ethical and social aspects towards human society and influence operational and global aspects towards technical systems. These innovations appear a relevant case that opens new frontiers for electro forensic engineering and claims a “new regulatory approach” to promote analysis for testing in progress the evolution of the same innovations.

Alerting Users About Phishing Attacks

Cyber attacks are emerging as problems caused not only by tech- nological aspects but also by human factors neglected when designing inter- active systems. In this paper, we show how one of the most popular attacks on the Web, phishing, is very much related to UI aspects and how a wrong UI design determines a greater vulnerability of users. We performed a heuristic evaluation to assess the most recent applications such as browsers and mail clients that adopt warning messages as prevention of phishing attacks.

MAD: A visual analytics solution for Multi-step cyber Attacks Detection

Software vulnerabilities represent one of the main weaknesses of an Information Technology (IT) system w.r.t. cyber attacks and nowadays consolidated official data, like the Common Vulnerability Exposure (CVE) dictionary, provide precise and reliable details about them. This information, together with the identification of priority systems to defend allows for inspecting the network structure and the most probable paths an attacker is likely to follow to reach sensible resources, with the main goal of identify suitable mitigation actions that reduce the risk of an attack.

The future of Cybersecurity in Italy: Strategic focus area

This volume has been created as a continuation of the previous one, with the aim of outlining a set of focus areas and actions that the Italian Nation research community considers essential. The book touches many aspects of cyber security, ranging from the definition of the infrastructure and controls needed to organize cyberdefence to the actions and technologies to be developed to be better protected, from the identification of the main technologies to be defended to the proposal of a set of horizontal actions for training, awareness raising, and risk management.

Il Futuro della Cybersecurity in Italia: Ambiti Progettuali Strategici

Il presente volume nasce come continuazione del precedente, con l’obiettivo di delineare un insieme di ambiti progettuali e di azioni che la comunità nazionale della ricerca ritiene essenziali a complemento e a supporto di quelli previsti nel DPCM Gentiloni in materia di sicurezza cibernetica, pubblicato nel febbraio del 2017. La lettura non richiede particolari conoscenze tecniche; il testo è fruibile da chiunque utilizzi strumenti informatici o navighi in rete.
