Cybersecurity experts scan the internet and face security events that influence user and institutions. An information security analyst regularly examines sources to stay up to date on security events in the domain of expertise. This may lead to a heavy workload for the information analysts if they do not have proper tools for security event investigation. For example, an information analyst may want to stay aware of cybersecurity events, such as a DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack on a government agency website. The earlier they detect and understand the threats, the longer the time remaining to alleviate the obstacle and to investigate the event. Therefore, information security analysts need to establish and keep situational awareness active about the security events and their likely effects. However, due to the large volume of information flow, it may be difficult for security analysts and researchers to detect and analyze security events timely. It is important to detect security events timely. This study aims at developing tools that are able to provide timely reports of security incidents. A recent challenge is that the internet community use different languages to share information. For instance, information about security events in Turkey is mostly shared on the internet in Turkish. The present study investigates automatic detection of security incidents in Turkish by processing data from Twitter and news media. It proposes an automatic prototype, Turkish-specific software system that can detect cybersecurity events in real time.

Automatic detection of cyber security events from Turkish twitter stream and Turkish newspaper data Ural, Özgür; Acartürk, Cengiz; Department of Cyber Security (2019) Cybersecurity experts scan the internet and face security events that influence users, institutions, and governments. An information security analyst regularly examines sources to stay up to date on security events in her/his domain of expertise. This may lead to a heavy workload for the information analysts if they do not have proper tools for security event investigation. For example, an information analyst may want to stay aware of cybersecurity events, such as a DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) atta...
Increasing trustworthiness of security critical applications using trusted computing Uzunay, Yusuf; Baykal, Nazife; Bıçakcı, Kemal; Department of Information Systems (2014) In this thesis work, we aim to increase the trustworthiness of security critical applications by utilizing trusted computing technologies. We focus on two case applications; authentication proxy systems and e-voting systems. Our first case application is authentication proxy systems which store users’ sensitive credentials and submit them to the servers of the service providers on their behalf. To increase the trustworthiness of authentication proxy systems, we propose Trust-in-the-Middle a trusted platform...
Malicious user input detection on web-based attacks with the negative selection algorithm Karataş, Mustafa Mer; Acar, Aybar Can; Department of Cyber Security (2019) In the cyber security domain, detection and prevention of intrusions is a crucial task. Intrusion attempts exploiting vulnerabilities in an organization’s servers or applications may lead to devastating consequences. The malicious actor may obtain sensitive information from the application, seize database records or take over the servers completely. While protecting web applications/services, discrimination of legitimate user inputs from malicious payloads must be done. Taking inspiration from the Human Imm...
A Digital Twins Approach to Smart Grid Security Testing and Standardization Atalay, Manolya; Angın, Pelin (2020-06-01) 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 cybersec...
Static Malware Detection Using Stacked Bi-Directional LSTM Demirci, Deniz; Acartürk, Cengiz; Department of Cybersecurity (2021-8-19) The recent proliferation in the use of the Internet and personal computers has made it easier for cybercriminals to expose Internet users to widespread and damaging threats. In order protect the end users against such threats, a security system must be proactive. It needs to detect malicious files or executables before reaching the end-user. To create an efficient and low-cost malware detection mechanism, in the present study, we propose stacked bidirectional long short-term memory (Stacked BiLSTM) based de...
