Title: ACM KDD AI4Cyber/MLHat: Workshop on AI-enabled Cybersecurity Analytics and Deployable Defense
Federal funding agencies and industry entities are seeking innovative approaches to address the ever-growing cybersecurity crisis. Increasingly, numerous cybersecurity thought leaders are indicating that Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enabled analytics can help tackle key cybersecurity tasks and deploy defenses. This half-day workshop, co-located with ACM KDD, sought to attain significant research contributions to various aspects of AI-enabled analytics for cybersecurity applications and deployable defense solutions from academics and practitioners. This workshop was a joint workshop of the 2021 AI-enabled Cybersecurity Analytics and 2021 International Workshop on Deployable Machine Learning for Security Defense. As such, we developed an interdisciplinary Program Committee with significant experience in various aspects of AI, cybersecurity, and/or deployable defense.  more » « less

    Despite significant contributions to various aspects of cybersecurity, cyber-attacks remain on the unfortunate rise. Increasingly, internationally recognized entities such as the National Science Foundation and National Science & Technology Council have noted Artificial Intelligence can help analyze billions of log files, Dark Web data, malware, and other data sources to help execute fundamental cybersecurity tasks. Our objective for the 1st Workshop on Artificial Intelligence-enabled Cybersecurity Analytics (half-day; co-located with ACM KDD) was to gather academic and practitioners to contribute recent work pertaining to AI-enabled cybersecurity analytics. We composed an outstanding, inter-disciplinary Program Committee with significant expertise in various aspects of AI-enabled Cybersecurity Analytics to evaluate the submitted work. Significant contributions to the half-day workshop were made in the areas of CTI, vulnerability assessment, and malware analysis.

    Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are key domains whose intersection gives great promises and poses significant threats. Indeed, the National Academy of Science (NAS), the National Science Foundation (NSF), and othßer respected entities have noted the significant role that AI can play in cybersecurity, and the importance of ensuring the security of AI-enabled algorithms and systems. This minitrack focuses on AI and Cybersecurity that works in broader domains, collaborative inter-organizational realms, shared collaborative domains, or with collaborative technologies. The papers in this minitrack have the potential to offer interesting and impactful solutions to emerging areas, including unmanned aerial vehicles and open source software security.

    Cybersecurity has rapidly emerged as a grand societal challenge of the 21st century. Innovative solutions to proactively tackle emerging cybersecurity challenges are essential to ensuring a safe and secure society. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly emerged as a viable approach for sifting through terabytes of heterogeneous cybersecurity data to execute fundamental cybersecurity tasks, such as asset prioritization, control allocation, vulnerability management, and threat detection, with unprecedented efficiency and effectiveness. Despite its initial promise, AI and cybersecurity have been traditionally siloed disciplines that relied on disparate knowledge and methodologies. Consequently, the AI for Cybersecurity discipline is in its nascency. In this article, we aim to provide an important step to progress the AI for Cybersecurity discipline. We first provide an overview of prevailing cybersecurity data, summarize extant AI for Cybersecurity application areas, and identify key limitations in the prevailing landscape. Based on these key issues, we offer a multi-disciplinary AI for Cybersecurity roadmap that centers on major themes such as cybersecurity applications and data, advanced AI methodologies for cybersecurity, and AI-enabled decision making. To help scholars and practitioners make significant headway in tackling these grand AI for Cybersecurity issues, we summarize promising funding mechanisms from the National Science Foundation (NSF) that can support long-term, systematic research programs. We conclude this article with an introduction of the articles included in this special issue.

    This lightning talk addresses the pressing need to enhance cybersecurity measures for Hawaii's critical infrastructure, focusing particularly on healthcare and transportation sectors. These sectors have faced significant cybersecurity challenges, with Oahu's transportation services experiencing major breaches and healthcare institutions like Queen's Health System and Malama I Ke Ola suffering from ransomware attacks since 2021. These incidents have led to severe disruptions and compromised sensitive data. Hawaii's geographic isolation, natural disaster risks, legacy systems, and workforce shortages exacerbate these issues. Additionally, emerging technologies such as AI and IoT further expand vulnerabilities. A comprehensive cybersecurity strategy is essential to mitigate these risks. This talk introduces the concept of a volunteer-supported Human-AI Synergy Hotline, which provides proactive advice, crisis management, and emotional support during and after cyber incidents. This innovative approach aims to enhance cybersecurity preparedness and resilience in Hawaii's critical sectors.

    Deepfake technology presents a significant challenge to cybersecurity. These highly sophisticated AI-generated manipulations can compromise sensitive information and erode public trust, privacy, and security. This has led to broader societal impacts, including decreased trust and confidence in digital communications. This paper will discuss public knowledge, understanding, and perception of AI-generated deepfakes, which was obtained through an online survey that measured people's ability to identify video, audio, and images of deepfakes. The findings will highlight the public's knowledge and perception of deepfakes, the risks that deepfake media presents, and the vulnerabilities to detection and prevention. This awareness will lead to stronger defense strategies and enhanced cybersecurity measures that will ultimately enhance deepfake detection technology and strengthen overall cybersecurity measures that will effectively mitigate exploitation risks and safeguard personal and organizational interests.
