The exponential growth of the Internet of Things in recent years has created an ever larger cyber attack surface, introducing new security vulnerabilities for all computerized systems. Among the most significant of those systems are industrial control systems (ICS) consisting of many cyber physical components, and smart grids are a prominent example of ICS, whose failures have potential to cause major disruptions in all aspects of our daily lives. In this paper, we provide an overview of smart grid cybersecurity standards, and review major threats to smart grid environments at the physical, network and application layers. In order to overcome the current lack of standards for security evaluation of smart grids, we propose a digital twins based approach for the complete lifecycle of a smart grid, which accurately models the functioning of the physical grid and avoids service disruptions caused by running security tests on the actual grid. A digital twins based approach is promising to provide a common ground for the development of standardized models for continuous and comprehensive penetration testing of smart grids

A novel online approach to detect DDOS attacks using mahalanobis distance and Kernel-based learning Daneshgadeh Çakmakçı, Salva; Baykal, Nazife; Department of Information Systems (2019) Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks are continually evolving as the computer and networking technologies and attackers’ motivations are changing. In recent years, several supervised DDoS detection algorithms have been proposed. However, these algorithms require a priori knowledge of the classes and cannot automatically adapt to the frequently changing network traffic trends. This emphasizes the need for the development of new DDoS detection mechanisms that target zero-day and sophisticated DDoS att...
An Effective Forest Fire Detection Framework Using Heterogeneous Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks Kizilkaya, Burak; Ever, Enver; Yatbaz, Hakan Yekta; Yazıcı, Adnan (2022-05-01) With improvements in the area of Internet of Things (IoT), surveillance systems have recently become more accessible. At the same time, optimizing the energy requirements of smart sensors, especially for data transmission, has always been very important and the energy efficiency of IoT systems has been the subject of numerous studies. For environmental monitoring scenarios, it is possible to extract more accurate information using smart multimedia sensors. However, multimedia data transmission is an expensi...
Online DDoS attack detection using Mahalanobis distance and Kernel-based learning algorithm Cakmakci, Salva Daneshgadeh; Kemmerich, Thomas; Ahmed, Tarem; Baykal, Nazife (Elsevier BV, 2020-10-01) Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks are constantly evolving as the computer and networking technologies and attackers' motivations are changing.

A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW ON SMART CITY SERVICES AND IOT-BASED TECHNOLOGIES Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi (2019-03-21) Due to the technological developments, Internet of things (IoT) has become a real phenomenon. Accordingly, many IoT-based smart concepts appeared in our daily lives such as smart home, smart healthcare and smart city. There are several factors accelerating or hindering the adoption of such new services and concepts. So, the acceptance of IoT-based smart services is critical and should be analyzed carefully. In this study, we aimed to prepare a proper starting point for future studies on end user acceptance ...
A Decision Support System for Optimal Selection of Enterprise Information Security Preventative Actions Özdemir Sönmez, Ferda ; Günel Kılıç, Banu (2021-09-01) Types and complexity of information security related vulnerabilities are growing rapidly and present numerous challenges to the enterprises. One of the key challenges is to identify the optimal set of precautions with limited budget. Despite the fact that majority of enterprises have a budget constraint for installing and maintaining the protection systems, the majority of the previous work only focus on prioritization of security targets and do not consider the preventative actions and budget constraints. ...
