• Title: Comparative Survey of Cyber-Threat and Attack Trends and Prediction of Future Cyber-Attack Patterns
• Authors: Uwazie Emmanuel Chinanu, Oluyemi Amujo,
• Abstract summary: Cyber security breaches are constantly on the rise with huge uncertainty and risks. The diversity of attacks and growing state actors involvement without any sort of regulation is making cyber weapons attractive to the states. States are leveraging the anonymity and attribution flaws to hit hard on perceived adversaries.

• Abstract: This paper presents a comparative survey of cyberthreat and attack trends starting from 2010 till date Cyber security breaches are constantly on the rise with huge uncertainty and risks The trend is causing rife globally because of its consequences to national security and economy With diverse interests and motivations for various categories of threats and attacks we carried out a comparative survey and analysis of security breaches to unravel the patterns and predict what will shape future security challenges The diversity of attacks and growing state actors involvement without any sort of regulation is making cyber weapons attractive to the states States are leveraging the anonymity and attribution flaws to hit hard on perceived adversaries thereby complicating the cyber security equation

• Cyber Risk Taxonomies: Statistical Analysis of Cybersecurity Risk Classifications [0.0]
  We argue in favour of switching the attention from goodness-of-fit and in-sample performance, to focusing on the out-of sample forecasting performance. Our results indicate that business motivated cyber risk classifications appear to be too restrictive and not flexible enough to capture the heterogeneity of cyber risk events.

  Stealth Data Exfiltration is a significant cyber threat characterized by covert infiltration, extended undetectability, and unauthorized dissemination of confidential data. Our findings reveal that conventional defense-in-depth strategies often fall short in combating these sophisticated threats. As we navigate this complex landscape, it is crucial to anticipate potential threats and continually update our defenses.

• Designing an attack-defense game: how to increase robustness of financial transaction models via a competition [69.08339915577206]
  Given the escalating risks of malicious attacks in the finance sector, understanding adversarial strategies and robust defense mechanisms for machine learning models is critical. We aim to investigate the current state and dynamics of adversarial attacks and defenses for neural network models that use sequential financial data as the input. We have designed a competition that allows realistic and detailed investigation of problems in modern financial transaction data. The participants compete directly against each other, so possible attacks and defenses are examined in close-to-real-life conditions.

  The explosive growth of cyber attacks nowadays, such as malware, spam, and intrusions, caused severe consequences on society. Traditional Machine Learning (ML) based methods are extensively used in detecting cyber threats, but they hardly model the correlations between real-world cyber entities. With the proliferation of graph mining techniques, many researchers investigated these techniques for capturing correlations between cyber entities and achieving high performance.
