Specialized machine learning (ML) models tailored to users’ needs and requests are increasingly being deployed on smart devices with cameras, provide personalized intelligent services taking advantage of camera data. However, two primary challenges hinder the training such models: lack publicly available labeled data suitable for specialized tasks inaccessibility private due concerns about user privacy. To address these challenges, we propose a novel system SpinML, where server generates...
Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) networks (e.g., a smart grid industrial control system) are increasingly on the rise, especially in cities around globe. They contribute to meeting day-to-day needs power, water, manufacturing, transportation) civilian society, alongside making societal businesses more efficient, productive, and profitable. However, it is also well known that IoT devices often operate poorly configured security settings. This increases chances occurrence...
The COVID-19 pandemic (e.g., especially the first and second COVID waves) had forced firms (organizations) to radically shift a considerable (if not all) proportion of their employees serve in work-from-home (WFH) mode. Industry statistics showcase that despite ushering significant work-flexibility (and other) benefits, WFH mode has also expanded an organization’s cyber-vulnerability space, increased number cyber-breaches IT IT-OT systems ICSs). This leads us important fundamental question:...
The COVID-19 pandemic has radically transformed the work-from-home (WFH) paradigm, and expanded an organization's cyber-vulnerability space. We propose a novel strategic method to quantify degree of sub-optimal cybersecurity in organization employees, all whom work heterogeneous WFH "siloes". Specifically, we model per-unit cost asymmetric employees invest security-improving effort units as time-discounted exponential martingales over time, derive benchmark - centrally-planned socially...
