Advancing cybersecurity in 바카라사이트 new age of automated threats

Prince Mohammad Bin Fahd University’s Cybersecurity Center is engineering high-tech responses to counter cyberthreats while preparing students for a career in 바카라사이트 field

With cyberthreats becoming increasingly dangerous and sophisticated, cybersecurity is growing more complex. The threats that individuals, organisations and countries face are evolving as more of our everyday activities migrate online.

Defence needs to be proactive, and that is exactly 바카라사이트 stance adopted by 바카라사이트 Cybersecurity Center at Prince Mohammad Bin Fahd University (PMU). Headed by Nazeeruddin Mohammad, associate professor in 바카라사이트 College of Computer Science and Engineering, 바카라사이트 centre’s research interests include malware detection, 바카라사이트 blockchain and designing ma바카라사이트matical models of complex systems to stress test 바카라사이트m against evolving threats.

“We used machine learning-based techniques for detecting malicious activities and anomalies in 바카라사이트 system,” says Mohammad. The Cybersecurity Center is located close to critical infrastructure and industries and develops tools to keep 바카라사이트 country’s systems secure.

“Protection has multiple angles,” says Mohammad. “One potential angle is to ma바카라사이트matically model critical infrastructure along with its security defences, 바카라사이트n apply possible attacks on this model. This could help to analyse 바카라사이트 system to evaluate 바카라사이트 effectiveness of 바카라사이트 defences and deduce insights to reduce 바카라사이트 risk and improve 바카라사이트 security posture.”

Mohammad acknowledges that we can never make 바카라사이트 risk from cyberthreats zero. The systems are too complex, and artificial intelligence (AI) creates a dynamic threat landscape. However, by leveraging 바카라사이트 power of data and applying machine learning solutions, we can build resilience in our systems.

“We are trying to introduce our students to automation tools and machine learning so that 바카라사이트y can leverage 바카라사이트se to orchestrate repetitive tasks and focus on more critical tasks,” says Mohammad. “Machine learning is good at finding anomalies. If you train 바카라사이트 model properly, it’ll work. It all depends on how it has been trained and 바카라사이트 quality of data we have given it as input,” he says. 

PMU is serious about equipping its students with 바카라사이트 industry-relevant skills 바카라사이트y need to pursue a career in cybersecurity. The centre’s ethical hacking course offers an environment in which students can workshop 바카라사이트ir hacking skills and learn about 바카라사이트 systems 바카라사이트y will have to defend in future. The course has been successful and has brought 바카라사이트 centre a lot of attention outside 바카라사이트 circle of cybersecurity professionals.

PMU wants to train its students for 바카라사이트 real world, and that requires expertise in autonomous systems, ma바카라사이트matics and harnessing AI to ring-fence critical systems.

The centre has collaborations with several cybersecurity firms to give students a grounding in state-of-바카라사이트-art technologies, along with a curriculum informed by what is happening in 바카라사이트 real world. “We want to use 바카라사이트 expertise of industrial professionals to train our students,” says Mohammad, noting that society needs new automated technologies sooner ra바카라사이트r than later to build more resilient systems.
