Mining Threat Intelligence about Open-Source Projects and Libraries from Code Repository Issues and Bug Reports
Open-Source Projects and Libraries are being used in software development
while also bearing multiple security vulnerabilities. This use of third party
ecosystem creates a new kind of attack surface for a product in development. An
intelligent attacker can attack a product by exploiting one of the
vulnerabilities present in linked projects and libraries.
In this paper, we mine threat intelligence about open source projects and
libraries from bugs and issues reported on public code repositories. We also
track library and project dependencies for installed software on a client
machine. We represent and store this threat intelligence, along with the
software dependencies in a security knowledge graph. Security analysts and
developers can then query and receive alerts from the knowledge graph if any
threat intelligence is found about linked libraries and projects, utilized in
their products
AI Security Threats against Pervasive Robotic Systems: A Course for Next Generation Cybersecurity Workforce
Robotics, automation, and related Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems have
become pervasive bringing in concerns related to security, safety, accuracy,
and trust. With growing dependency on physical robots that work in close
proximity to humans, the security of these systems is becoming increasingly
important to prevent cyber-attacks that could lead to privacy invasion,
critical operations sabotage, and bodily harm. The current shortfall of
professionals who can defend such systems demands development and integration
of such a curriculum. This course description includes details about seven
self-contained and adaptive modules on "AI security threats against pervasive
robotic systems". Topics include: 1) Introduction, examples of attacks, and
motivation; 2) - Robotic AI attack surfaces and penetration testing; 3) -
Attack patterns and security strategies for input sensors; 4) - Training
attacks and associated security strategies; 5) - Inference attacks and
associated security strategies; 6) - Actuator attacks and associated security
strategies; and 7) - Ethics of AI, robotics, and cybersecurity
