Hello, I am a student of MSc Cyber Security. I need to select a project for my dissertation. I am a bit confused to generate ideas but my initial plan is to do a project based on a cyber security management pathway. Such as regarding policy procedures, incident management framework, ransomware attacks, etc. I am not so interested to do coding stuff but for the project purpose, it's okay. My strength:
1. Policy procedure
2. International framework
3. Payment card security, like PCI DSS.
Please, try to help me with some good ideas.
I am currently undertaking a computer science with cyber security MSc and have been trying to find topics of study for the independent research project which would be interesting to me and I am struggling and am looking for a pointer in the right direction.
I would like to undertake something that is in some way practical in nature to keep it interesting, and the topic has to include some elements of security.
My interests through work are mainly developing serverless applications on AWS and event driven applications and cloud computing but I am really struggling to find something that is both interesting and isn't purely research based and theoretical.
Any pointers would be gratefully received, I still have another four months until I need to write the project proposal but I have already been trying to find something that sparks my interest for the last month or two with little success.
Dear Paul Ockleford,
I propose the following topic for the master's thesis on cybersecurity issues: Applications of blockchain and machine learning technologies and other Industry 4.0 technologies as part of improving the cybersecurity risk management of IT systems operating in computing cloud computing environments, in systems based on the Internet of Things, Big Data, and smart technology solutions etc. The research topic may also concern the improvement of techniques and risk management of cybersecurity of information systems used in internet banking and mobile banking.

Dear Researchers,
I'm a student on Ph.D. studies at the University of Ljubljana, and I work on research for detecting APT attacks, but in the early stages of the attack, when attackers mostly use social engineering methods and human vector attacks to infiltrate in some system. Our focus is the Cloud environment and detecting the attacks in the Cloud environment. One of the essential parts of this research is aggregating data from logs and cloud metrics in daily format and data in the form used to detect the attacks.
The problem with this approach is that it requires logs and Cloud metrics collected during a more extended period (at least one year). Still, all publicly available datasets contain data collected in 10 to 15 days.
To you know, how could I find a Cloud project (real project or project in a sandbox environment) from which I could retrieve logs and metrics of hosts deployed on the system (virtual machines, containers, serverless functions, ...), network logs and metrics, and logs of IAM?
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
Yours Respectfully,
According to IBM Security X-Force (2021), server access was the third most common attack type in 2020. Nearly 36% of the server access attacks X-Force Incident Response observed in 2020 targeted the finance and insurance sector, with business services (14%), manufacturing (7%), and healthcare (7%) also getting hard hit.
The threats of server access attacks do not seem to go away or rather slow down, BUT they seem to get more complicated.
Are the current mitigation techniques for preventing server access attacks well-designed?
Besides that, Do you think adopting the Zero Trust security strategy will prevent this phenomenon? According to your experience. What are your thoughts on the matter?
COVID-19 has had a significant impact on the educational sector, resulting in a shift from face-to-face to a decentralized learning environment, creating a unique opportunity for network-based academic dishonesty. Prior research has shown that during the COVID-19 pandemic, students engaged in network-based academic dishonesty as a consequence of the breach of weak and legacy software programs that monitor network-based academic dishonesty.
Are the current mitigation techniques for preventing network-based academic dishonesty well-designed? What are your thoughts on the matter?
Can you explain it there is any future of cyber security?
Distributed denial of service attacks(DDoS)
According to a survey conducted by Sophos, 2020 was a tough year for education, with the sector experiencing the highest level of ransomware attacks of all industries. Ransomware attacks have been on the top list of dangerous threats to information systems for over a decade. The threats of ransomware attack do not seem to go away or rather slow down BUT seems to get more complicated.
Are the current mitigation techniques well designed to prevent the attacks? What are your thoughts?
Will cybercrime in the coming years affect hacker attacks aimed at technology devices of the Internet of Things?
Will cybercrime in the future mainly concern the technology of the Internet of Things?
Will the improvement of the risk management process of the Internet information transfer in the future concern mobile devices and Internet of Things technology?
Is the online mobile banking currently offered mainly on smartphones also extended to other devices functioning as part of the Internet of Things technology?

Dear Md. Abdur Rashid,
Thanks for the answer. I also believe that in the coming years there will be an increase in the importance of cybercrime and the improvement of cybercrime risk management and the improvement of cybersecurity systems in the field of information systems used in devices equipped with the Internet of Things technologies. The importance of this issue is also growing due to the development of e-logistics systems developed as part of computerized systems of international supply and procurement logistics equipped with ICT and Industry 4.0.

Which Q1 and Q2 research journal of computer science and cybersecurity area journal are most suitable for speedy review and publication process preferably not the paid journal?
Appropriate datasets for cyber security.
In my opinion, the information posted on social media portals are not 100 percent. safe.
There have been cases of hacking and stealing information from thousands of records, user profiles of these portals.
In addition, there are developed techniques for building programs that read information from commentators entered into thousands of profiles of social media portals.
Then this information is a research material for the sentiment analyzes carried out, i.e. analyzes of opinions prevailing among users of these portals on specific companies, brands, products and services.
Do you agree with my opinion?

Hello!
I’m Jonathan, an MSc student studying Cyber Security at Edge Hill University. As part of my project thesis, I’m conducting a short questionnaire on small and medium enterprise cyber security and, in particular, the opinions of professional individuals on the topic of vulnerability assessment and penetration testing as a way of securing IT infrastructure. The survey also details some features of the project, including the active design and development of an autonomous VAPT tool for SMEs.
Your help on providing answers and opinions is greatly appreciated and will deliver a fundamental basis for my research. Permission is also granted if you wish to notify others that may be interested in the project.
If you wish to contribute, you can do so using this link: https://vaptian.com/go/survey. The survey is hosted by Qualtrics.
The survey is entirely optional, and all data collected is anonymous. You can terminate your participation at any time for any reason.
Thank you in advance.
The increasing energy demand and the necessity to reduce CO2 emissions are worldwide problems. This motivates the increasingly "green" choices, in order to reduce the anthropogenic environmental impact, made by companies and governments of many countries in the world. Nonetheless, among the clean energy options currently available on the world market, only nuclear power can provide constant energy, regardless of weather or geological conditions, making nuclear one of the most promising low-carbon energy options. However, the nuclear fission reactors are characterized by the formation of radioactive waste, and this problem can be partially solved through the spent fuel reprocessing.
"In its 2020 edition of Energy, Electricity and Nuclear Power Estimates for the Period up to 2050, the International Atomic Energy Agency's (IAEA's) high case projection has global nuclear generating capacity increasing from 392 GWe in 2019 to 475 GWe by 2030, 622 by 2040 and 715 by 2050".
The main points that can then be discussed:
- total installation costs and the time to build a nuclear power plant;
- long-term profitability and maintenance costs;
- storage of the last waste ;
- research on spent fuel recycling optimization and next-generation reactors;
- industrial and cyber security;
- deep prejudices in many countries due to singular accidents;
- nuclear fusion possibility.

The analysis of banking Trojans consists in researching methods of cybercrime in the field of infecting the bank's information systems, both those which are intra-bank and those that serve bank customers as part of online mobile banking. Analysis of attacks by cybercriminals, for example, viruses popular in recent years, trojans of the ransomware type, which after encrypting computers encrypt data disks. In addition, other types of Trojan horses are used to steal sensitive data, personal customers or embezzlement of money from clients' bank accounts, extorting loans, etc. After analyzing methods used by cybercriminals, banks strengthen security systems, protect banking systems against these attacks, improve security and authorization tools online banking clients. In addition, the next step is to improve the risk management process of IT systems. I described these issues, among others, in the following publications:
In addition, cybercriminal attacks on electronic banking systems are probably much more than official statistics provide, because banks do not boast of these events if they do not have to.
This is because many of these cybercrime attacks are ineffective or have relatively low costs, and the identified gaps in the e-banking system are quickly repaired.
however, if the bank customers knew all these events of cyber-criminals, this could reduce the level of confidence in banks.
Then, bank customers could start to withdraw bank deposits from banks and dopiers on a massive scale, then a serious problem for banks would appear associated with a sharp increase in the level of liquidity risk.
In view of the above, the current question is: What would be the consequences for banks to fully inform banks' clients about cybercrime attacks on electronic online banking systems?
I invite you to discussion.

In my opinion, sensitive personal data concerning individual users who set up profiles, collected on social media portals, are not fully secure. This is confirmed by the occurrence of data leaks, data theft by cybercriminals.
In connection with the above, the issue of information security on the Internet is becoming an increasingly global problem and therefore, in the global approach, institutions and security systems for the transfer of information on the Internet should be developed. The security of information on the Internet can refer to many aspects of data security both at the level of central state institutions and international organizations as well as the security of personal data of individual citizens, sensitive data of citizens collected on various websites, including social media portals.
The improvement of risk management and information security systems at the supranational level is also a key issue. Technological companies managing social media portals on the one hand try to improve data security systems about users setting up accounts on social media portals. On the other hand, it is also important to cooperate with key, central data security institutions on the Internet that operate transnational. This is important from the point of view of improving information security systems on the Internet in order to limit the possibility of using social media portals by cybercriminals operating transnational, using various social engineering techniques.
Please, answer, comments.

In some countries, rumors of cybercriminals with Ransomware are reportedly again being reported again. These viruses spread via e-mails, which automatically send themselves out from infected e-mail accounts and send out infected e-mails to all e-mail contacts of a virus mailbox infected with the virus. The virus is very dangerous because after opening a fake e-mail, the virus installs deeply into the computer and encrypts access to the disks by blocking access to the contents of the disks. I wrote scientific publications on this subject.
In view of the above, I am asking you the following question: Are cybercriminals now attacking personal and corporate computers using Ransomware viruses again?

The field of research and business applications in the field of obtaining, archiving, analyzing and processing data in Big Data database systems has been developing strongly for several years.
There were hacking theft of personal, sensitive and secret data regarding users of social networks.
Are the results of research known, or are you familiar with publications describing risk management processes in the area of obtaining, archiving, analyzing and processing data in Big Data systems run by technological internet companies such as Google, Facebook, etc.
Technological internet companies such as Google, Facebook, etc. have the ability to obtain classified, sensitive and personal data from the Internet about the users of websites, including search engines and social media portals, who use these information services.
For the needs of these considerations, the issue of the security of classified data stored in Big Data database systems run by internet technology companies managing social media portals should be added.
There have been frequent thefts made by cybercriminals who, from these Big Data systems, stole classified and sensitive information about hundreds of thousands or millions of users of particular social media portals.
The development of social media portals therefore generates an increased risk of theft of data on users of social media portals.
Therefore, technological internet companies that run social media portals but also other companies that collect large amounts of data about users of specific, information services should continually develop and improve risk management systems for potential data loss from Big Data information resources.
Due to the above, in many companies, especially in large corporations, integrated risk management systems are built and improved.
Integrated risk management systems combine risk management processes in various areas of a company, institution or other organization.
One of the areas of risk management, the importance of which in many companies is growing, is risk management in the area of obtaining, archiving, analyzing and processing data in Big Data database systems.
In view of the above, I am asking you: Is the risk of cybercriminal attacks on Big Data database systems that contain personal data of social media portal users growing?
Please, answer, comments. I invite you to the discussion.

Hi I looking for cyber security Dataset.
Please Fill this feedback from and circulate in your University and group.
I have a key interest in OSINT and I'm trying to work out how I can combine that technology with cyber security to solve some kind of problem that I can use to carry through for my final year research project. Would anyone have any recommendations. I'm currently looking at tools such as Maltego and I'm trying to consider a potential back-end framework that utilizes some type of machine learning to populate the project.
What could be some fun, inspiring and interesting projects I could look into.
- In order to implement a few immediate measures to effect positive changes, what recommendations should cyber security design principles follow?
- How can cyber security design principles encourage change by engaging in which longer-term initiatives?
- How have we confirmed that we are in compliance with regulatory requirements for our industry?
There is consensus on the principle that cybersecurity can better be achieved through transnational cooperation rather every country or block on its own. Yet, the work undertaken under the auspices of the United Nations, namely under the General Assembly, is progressing at a very slow pace. I recently published a research article on that ongoing work at the UN in the field of cybersecurity, available at : . It confirms that progress is slow, so this raises a few questions. What is needed to improve multilateral cooperation on cybersecurity? Are there some specific topics of cybersecurity that should be prioritized in the multilateral arenas? What format (binding, non-binding, information sharing, confidence-building) should the expected deliverables have?
looking for attacks dataset, intrusion, binaries or anything related to Cyber attacks. It would be appreciated if any body share it. Thankx

Is the security of information collected in social media portals databases currently one of the key determinants of the development of new online media?
Security of social media portals is currently one of the most important topics of social media portals and other new internet media and information services. Therefore, scientists at various universities are involved in researching this issue. Therefore, security tools for information collected in social media portals databases and data security systems on the Internet are being developed. In companies and key public institutions, systems for risk management of information systems and information transfer on the Internet are also developed.
Do you agree with me on the above matter?
In the context of the above issues, the following question is valid:
Is the security of information collected in social media portals databases currently one of the key determinants of the development of new online media?

In my master's Degree I proposed a way to extend the existing privacy enhancing technologies used in Instant messaging in order for the users to be able to publish user-driven services:
This MSc Thesis I want to continue it over into a PhD as a step to implement it. From my point of view it requires lots of research that may also have scientific value as well.
The research I am interested to do it via a MEXT Scholarchip in Japan. But so far what I found only few researchers that either are qualified in cryptography or in cyber security:
But still I have hard time to look over univercities that do a complete research in Privacy Enhancing technologies or in Cybersecurity in Japan. Therefore, I want to ask:
- Which Universities in Japan do research in a related field (Cryptography, Cyber security, Internet Privacy) and which ones would you reccomend and why?
- Should I keep looking for professors-only and create a database with contact info or it is reccomend to look for univercities as well?

Hi!
Looking for some assistance in pinpointing a topic for a literature review focusing on contemporary issues in business.
I am currently looking at topics within the Cyber Security sector, but most papers/research I have conducted so far is largely focused on a computing / technical view. I am looking for ideas on topic within Cyber Security from a business perspective but having some difficulty.
I was thinking along the lines of the risks to businesses that Cyber Security issues pose, possibly a review on cost/benefit analysis of SMEs implementing cybersecurity procedures.
As you can probably tell, I am lost for focus on this topic. I have a keen interest in Cyber Security, however, making this fit a Busines Management Lit Review is proving difficult. If anyone has any ideas, or pointers to narrow down and define a question/topic, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

.i need urgent answer please share link or few of SCI indexed research papers
I am currently trying to obtain data from Cyber Security Malaysia and it hasn't been an easy one. Do you have any advice?
Most of the datasets that I found were labeled just by the attack type, and maybe no one used also the tool used to generate the attack as another way of labeling.
I am searching for an intrusion detection dataset labeled by both attack type and the tool used to generate this attack, any help ?
Thanks in advance !!
