Active Research Projects

​

1. Component Integrity Engineering (CIE)

 

Objective: Establish a security engineering framework to ensure the integrity of data flows and component interactions in enterprise architectures.

Scope:

• Researching failure points in cloud-based and hybrid security architectures.

• Developing validation models for secure component-to-component communication.

• Creating guidelines for controlled data flow management.

 

2. Privileged Access Containment System (PACS)

 

Objective: Design a security containment model to limit the lateral movement of privileged access in case of a security breach.

Scope:

• Developing containment zones for high-privilege access management.

• Implementing security layers to mitigate insider threats and credential abuse.

• Testing PACS effectiveness against real-world attack scenarios.

 

3. AI-Driven Threat Response Automation

 

Objective: Leverage artificial intelligence to autonomously detect, analyze, and mitigate cyber threats in real time.

Scope:

• Integrating AI with security monitoring tools for proactive defense.

• Developing machine learning models to enhance anomaly detection.

• Testing AI-driven decision-making for incident response automation.

 

4. Adversary-Centric Defensive Architecture (ACDA)

 

Objective: Shift the cybersecurity defense paradigm by focusing on the methodologies and tactics used by adversaries.

Scope:

• Mapping attack surfaces in cloud and on-premise networks.

• Implementing MITRE ATT&CK framework into enterprise security architectures.

• Creating an 'outside-in' defense strategy against evolving threats.
