Investigating Security Situation Awareness against Ransomware Attacks

This industry collaboration project aims to investigate and design a Security Situation Awareness Platform (SSAP) for ransomware attacks and to develop a security scoring algorithm that quantifies industry effectiveness in mitigating such attacks.

Impact: 

2 technologies developed:

• Security Situation Awareness Platform (SSAP) against ransomware attacks 
• Security Scoring Algorithm against ransomware attacks
   

2 prototypes implemented:

• Security scores and recommended mitigation schemes displayed in dashboard
• Simulated pre-ransomware attacks on active directory.
