Software Intensive Systems Engineering

Machine learning is revolutionizing many industries and forever changing how we interact with computer systems and each other. The revolution is particularly relevant to cyber security, where machine learning is used to help human analysts make sense of increasingly large amounts of data to identify threats and mitigate vulnerabilities. While this symbiotic relationship is improving…

Developing a knowledge management framework for any organization presents a number of challenges and questions. Where do I start? What is the ultimate goal? Is this effort top-down, bottom-up, or middle-out? How many systems do we have and how many do the same thing? When faced with such a task, knowledge managers could be quickly…

Cybersecurity solutions for critical energy infrastructure are imperative and they must be carefully engineered to develop reliable systems. Cybersecurity for the modernized power grid is bringing together two different communities: Information technology (IT) and Operational technology (OT). The IT and OT environments differ in important ways but each has benefits that can be gained from…

In the past five years alone, the amount of mobile data has grown eighteen fold (Cisco Mobile VNI, 2017). Security concerns are at the forefront due to the reliance on mobile devices for both business and personal use, along with the ever-increasing data usage. There are two concepts of mobile security; physical and data. Physical…
