• Authors: Giampaolo Bella, Gianpietro Castiglione, Daniele Francesco Santamaria
• Abstract summary: The paper frames this problem in the context of recent European security directives. The complexity of their language is here thwarted by the extraction of the relevant information, namely of the parts of speech from each clause. The method is showcased on a practical problem, namely to derive an ontology representing the NIS 2 directive, which is the peak of cybersecurity prescripts at the European level.

• Abstract: Large documents written in juridical language are difficult to interpret, with long sentences leading to intricate and intertwined relations between the nouns. The present paper frames this problem in the context of recent European security directives. The complexity of their language is here thwarted by automating the extraction of the relevant information, namely of the parts of speech from each clause, through a specific tailoring of Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques. These contribute, in combination with ontology development principles, to the design of our automated method for the representation of security directives as ontologies. The method is showcased on a practical problem, namely to derive an ontology representing the NIS 2 directive, which is the peak of cybersecurity prescripts at the European level. Although the NLP techniques adopted showed some limitations and had to be complemented by manual analysis, the overall results provide valid support for directive compliance in general and for ontology development in particular.

  Sentence Pattern Structure (SPS) parsing is a syntactic analysis method primarily employed in language teaching. Existing SPSs rely heavily on textbook corpora for training, lacking cross-domain capability. This paper proposes an innovative approach leveraging large language models (LLMs) within a self-training framework.

  Instruct2Attack (I2A) is a language-guided semantic attack that generates meaningful perturbations according to free-form language instructions. We make use of state-of-the-art latent diffusion models, where we adversarially guide the reverse diffusion process to search for an adversarial latent code conditioned on the input image and text instruction. We show that I2A can successfully break state-of-the-art deep neural networks even under strong adversarial defenses.

• An Ontological Approach to Compliance Verification of the NIS 2 Directive [0.0]
  This paper introduces an approach that leverages techniques of semantic representation and reasoning, hence an ontological approach, towards the compliance check with the security measures that textual documents prescribe. The formalisation of entities and relations from the directive, and the consequent improved structuring with respect to sheer prose is dramatically helpful for any organisation through the hard task of compliance verification.
