Artificial intelligence and machine learning in dynamic cyber risk analytics at the edge

Abstract

We explore the potential and practical challenges in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in cyber risk analytics, for improving organisational resilience and understanding cyber risk. The research is focused on identifying the role of AI in connected devices such as Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Through literature review, we identify wide ranging and creative methodologies for cyber analytics and explore the risks of deliberately influencing or disrupting behaviours to socio-technical systems. This resulted in the modelling of the connections and interdependencies between a system's edge components to both external and internal services and systems. We focus on proposals for models, infrastructures and frameworks of IoT systems found in both business reports and technical papers. We analyse this juxtaposition of related systems and technologies, in academic and industry papers published in the past 10 years. Then, we report the results of a qualitative empirical study that correlates the academic literature with key technological advances in connected devices. The work is based on grouping future and present techniques and presenting the results through a new conceptual framework. With the application of social science's grounded theory, the framework details a new process for a prototype of AI-enabled dynamic cyber risk analytics at the edge.

The ethics of shared Covid-19 risks: an epistemological framework for ethical health technology assessment of risk in vaccine supply chain infrastructures

“…Risk assessment is already a well-defined process, and broadly involves (1) risk analysis – identifying and analysing future negative events; and (2) risk evaluation – predicting the tolerability of such negative events, as subsets of risk management [ 5 ]. Although risk assessment is a well-studied process, current risk assessment approaches are inadequate for IoT [ 6 ], because of the periodic assumptions that systems will stay the same, and in IoT systems with changing boundaries, high risks can be missed or mistaken. The risk from IoT technology is also changing how supply chain operations are structured.…”

What Motivates People to Pay for Online Sports Streaming? An Empirical Evaluation of the Revised Technology Acceptance Model

“…Online media are expected to be a significant source of revenue in the coming years (Liu and Peng, 2017). In contrast, livestream sports platforms face cyber risk, such data risk, cyber-crime and human error (Radanliev et al, 2020;Sheehan et al, 2021). To improve the experience of watching the sports events on the network platform, the online sports streaming medias adopt artificial intelligence technology, but it neglects the security of users' data and aggravate the cyber risk, which can easily lead to the leakage of users' data (Radanliev et al, 2020).…”

Moreover, owing to the anonymity of the "bullet screen" service of the online sports streaming media, cyber-criminal organizations use the "bullet screen" to induce users to illegal websites, resulting in users' financial losses.…”

The Cybersecurity Focus Area Maturity (CYSFAM) Model

“…The consequences of cyber-attacks are often borderless and expand to societies. Recent research in cybersecurity put forward a diversity of areas to investigate, such as: transportation [4,5], IoT, CPS [6,7], and healthcare [8,9]. Nevertheless, due to the ever-changing nature of cyber-risks, and with the continual inclusion of new assets, organizations need a holistic and persistent approach to cybersecurity.…”
