Threat hunting, definition and frameworkLiliengren, Theodor, Löwenadler, Paul January 2018 (has links)
Being pioneers comes with advantages and responsibility. The concept of threathunting is currently being subsidized by businesses promoting their products. Additionally,there is little or no information regarding the implementation and theeffects, which vary depending on the organization. Threat hunting needed an unbiaseddefinition in accordance with employees in IT security. Consequently, theframeworks used when assessing threat hunting had to be objective. This thesispresents a definition of threat hunting, composed using impartial opinions. Furthermore,the thesis provides unique frameworks to assist when implementing andassessing threat hunting at an organization. This thesis has several areas of application:as a knowledge base for threat hunting, as the recommended practice forimplementing threat hunting and as groundwork for a more comprehensive evaluationof threat hunting capabilities. Ultimately, the thesis offers unprecedentednonpartisan information and recommendations on threat hunting.

An investigation into contextual approaches to requirements captureJirotka, Marina January 2001 (has links)
Designing innovative computer systems is no longer simply a technical issue. There is now a growing awareness that a grounded understanding of the social and organisational context into which these systems are to be deployed, until recently overlooked, may be critical, particularly in the early phases of design. It is in these stages, known as requirements elicitation, capture or analysis, or more generally Requirements Engineering, that researchers have begun to acknowledge both social and technical concerns in the requirements for systems. This thesis aims to mediate between a detailed appreciation of the social organisation of the workplace and the technical structure of information technology. In order to do this, we explore the relevance of recent developments in the social sciences, principally ethnomethodology and interaction analysis, for providing an alternative analytic orientation for requirements capture. In particular, we outline the principal characteristics of an approach that takes into account the details of the moment-to-moment production of work activities and communicative practices. It is argued that attendance to such interactional features will improve requirements practice, and hence will ultimately lead to more sensitive designs for supporting collaborative work. To illustrate this approach, we take as an example the development of particular technologies for a complex work setting - financial trading rooms. Results of the analysis are then used to discuss requirements for systems to support trading. In particular, we consider how issues emerging from this analysis, developed from an ethnomethodological orientation, could inform requirements analysis. In this regard, we investigate approaches to modelling interactional resources, including the use of formal notations developed for sequential and communicating processes, and provide requirements analysts with sensitivities by which to consider naturalistic settings. This forms the basis for mutually dependent investigations: on the system design side, drawing on the model to allow consideration of conflicts introduced by technological choices; and on the social science side, providing an agenda for renewed investigation into the domain. We conclude by discussing the pre-requisites necessary so that approaches in this thesis could be integrated within the software development process.

Model checking for regressions when variables are measured with errorsXie, Chuanlong 28 August 2017 (has links)
In this thesis, we investigate model checking problems for parametric single-index regression models when the variables are measured with different types of errors. The large sample behaviours of the test statistics can be used to develop properly centered and scaled model checking procedures. In addition, a dimension reduction model-adaptive strategy is employed, with the special requirements for the models with measurement errors, to improve the proposed testing procedures. This makes the test statistics converge to their weak limit under the null hypothesis with the convergence rates not depending on the dimension of predictor vector. Furthermore, the proposed tests behave like a classical local smoothing test with only one-dimensional predictor. Therefore the proposed methods have potential for alleviating the difficulties associated with high dimensionality in hypothesis testing.. Chapter 2 provides some tests for a parametric single-index regression model when predictors are measured with errors in an additive manner and validation dataset is available. The two proposed tests have consistency rates not depending on the dimension of predictor vector. One of these tests has a bias term that may become arbitrarily large with increasing sample size, but has smaller asymptotic variance. The other test is asymptotically unbiased with larger asymptotic variance. Both are still omnibus against general alternatives. Besides, a systematic study is conducted to give an insight on the effect of the ratio between the size of primary data and the size of validation data on the asymptotic behavior of these tests. Simulation studies are carried out to examine the finite-sample performances of the proposed tests. Also the tests are applied to a real data set about breast cancer with validation data obtained from a nutrition study.. Chapter 3 introduces a minimum projected-distance test for a parametric single-index regression model when predictors are measured with Berkson type errors. The distribution of the measurement error is assumed to be known up to several parameters. This test is constructed by combining the minimum distance test with a dimension reduction model-adaptive strategy. After properly centering, the minimum projected-distance test statistic is asymptotically normal at a convergence rate of order nh^(1/2) and can detect a sequence of local alternatives distinct from the null model with a rate of order n^(-1/2) h^(-1/4) where n is the sample size and h is a sequence of bandwidths tending to 0 as n tends infinity. These rates do not depend on the dimensionality of predictor vector, which implies that the proposed test has potential for alleviating the curse of dimensionality in hypothesis testing in this field. Further, as the test is asymptotically biased, two bias-correction methods are suggested to construct asymptotically unbiased tests. In addition, we discuss some details in the implementation of the proposed tests and then provide a simplified procedure. Simulations indicate desirable finite-sample performances of the tests. Besides, we illustrate the proposed model checking procedures by using two real datasets to illustrate the effects of air pollution on Emphysema.. Chapter 4 provides a nonparametric test for checking a parametric single-index regression model when predictor vector and response are measured with distortion errors. We estimate the true values of response and predictor, and then plug the estimated values into a test statistic to develop a model checking procedure. The dimension reduction model-adaptive strategy is also employed to improve its theoretical properties and finite sample performance. Another interesting observation in this work is that, with properly selected bandwidths and kernel functions in a limited range, the proposed test statistic has the same limiting distribution as that under the classical regression setup without distortion measurement errors. Simulation studies are conducted.

Efficient and portable multi-tasking for heterogeneous systemsMargiolas, Christos January 2015 (has links)
Modern computing systems comprise heterogeneous designs which combine multiple and diverse architectures on a single system. These designs provide potentials for high performance under reduced power requirements but require advanced resource management and workload scheduling across the available processors. Programmability frameworks, such as OpenCL and CUDA, enable resource management and workload scheduling on heterogeneous systems. These frameworks fully assign the control of resource allocation and scheduling to the application. This design sufficiently serves the needs of dedicated application systems but introduces significant challenges for multi-tasking environments where multiple users and applications compete for access to system resources. This thesis considers these challenges and presents three major contributions that enable efficient multi-tasking on heterogeneous systems. The presented contributions are compatible with existing systems, remain portable across vendors and do not require application changes or recompilation. The first contribution of this thesis is an optimization technique that reduces host-device communication overhead for OpenCL applications. It does this without modification or recompilation of the application source code and is portable across platforms. This work enables efficiency and performance improvements for diverse application workloads found on multi-tasking systems. The second contribution is the design and implementation of a secure, user-space virtualization layer that integrates the accelerator resources of a system with the standard multi-tasking and user-space virtualization facilities of the commodity Linux OS. It enables fine-grained sharing of mixed-vendor accelerator resources and targets heterogeneous systems found in data center nodes and requires no modification to the OS, OpenCL or application. Lastly, the third contribution is a technique and software infrastructure that enable resource sharing control on accelerators, while supporting software managed scheduling on accelerators. The infrastructure remains transparent to existing systems and applications and requires no modifications or recompilation. In enforces fair accelerator sharing which is required for multi-tasking purposes.
