Cloud Security

Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) are like the Avengers of the road. Autonomous, connected, and ready to revolutionize transportation. But with great tech comes great vulnerabilities. Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks is one of the most serious threats to VANET Cloud systems. These attacks can clog networks, disrupt communication, and make a smart car, well, not-so-smart. Thankfully, researchers are on it. There are studies out there proposing a machine learning-based framework to detect DDoS attacks in VANET Clouds with a jaw-dropping accuracy of 99.59%. ...

Cybersecurity feels like a never-ending game of cat and mouse. Technology evolves and new attack paths open up. This greatly frustrates everyone, especially non-technical top-level executives, flooded with requests to increase the cybersecurity spending. Here’s a personal reflection of the highlights (and lowlights, if I may). By no means is this a complete reference and you also need to acknowledge that this is a point in time view. I will most likely feel different next year. ...
