Overview
I am Professor of Data Science & Cybersecurity in the School of Computer Science & Informatics. I am Director of the Cardiff Centre for Cyber Security Research, which is recognised as an Academic Centre of Excellence in Cyber Security Research (ACE-CSR) by the National Cyber Security Centre and EPSRC.
I am the founding Director of the Wales Cyber Innovation Hub (CIH). Initially funded with £13.8m from Welsh Government and Cardiff Capital Region City Deal (CCRD), CIH is intended to help Wales become a global leader in cybersecurity. The CIH consortium led by Cardiff University with Airbus, Alacrity Cyber, CGI, Thales NDEC, Tramshed Tech, and the University of South Wales aims to boost the number of cyber security businesses anchored in South East Wales, and enhance cybersecurity skills to widen and diversify the cybersecurity talent pool. By 2030, the Hub aims to have:
- Created 25+ cybersecurity start-ups through translation of world leading IP into commercial ventures;
- Attracted more than £20m in private equity investment;
- Upskilled and reskilled approx. 1750 individuals with hands-on cybersecurity skills via bitesize, practical CPD activities.
I have been involved in research grants worth in excess of £23m, leading large awards from EPSRC, ESRC and industry on the topic of cyber security analytics – the fusion of artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and risk.
My work, developed in collaboration with key partners and collaborators, focusses on the development of novel approaches to automated cyber defence. Examples include the development of the first peer reviewed approach to machine-learning based prediction of cyber attack behaviour, within seconds of its execution. Subsequent work focussed on how to capture and kill the computational processes behind the cyber attack. In the case of Ransomware, our method reduced file encryption by 92%. This work is also applicable in the context of critical national infrastructure - including industrial control systems of the kind that operate manufacturing and energy systems.
In addition to AI approaches for enhanced cybersecurity, I put a great deal of emphasis on interrogating the potential harms of AI if inappropriately deployed - i.e. without thorough verification or long-term management. In this context, I have pioneered work in the security of AI in the context of cyber defence. Examples include understanding how attackers can manipulate their behaviour to evade detection by AI-based cyber defence techniques. We have demonstrated the vulnerabilities of AI-based cyber defences, and how to improve the resilience of AI-driven cyber defences in an IoT context as well as for safety critical industrial control systems.
We have also shown that the performance of machine learning models must be subject to enhanced interrogation over time. For example, our work has demonstrated that while data-driven cyber defence approaches work well in lab conditions, they can perform poorly in real-world settings. Moreover, we demonstrated that machine learning models can actually be using "hidden" features within the data used to train them to make decisions - such as malware being detected by its evasive behaviour rather than its actual malicious payload.
I believe research should be driven by real-world problems. I led AI for cybersecurity research at Airbus Cyber Innovation on a part-time secondment basis from 2016 to 2021, and I am still heavily invovled with Airbus' research agenda. I am director of Airbus' only global Centre of Excellence in Cyber Security Analytics. This has led to advanced malware detection algorithms as well as novel models for goal-oriented risk assessment being integrated into the business. Since 2012 we have established an interdisciplinary research team of technical and social researchers. Our collaborative projects have received more than £5m in funding from UK Research Councils (EPSRC, ESRC), Welsh Government (Endeavr Wales) and Industry (Airbus).
I lead the Safety Critical Systems theme in the £14m PETRAS National Centre of Excellence for Internet of Things Systems Cybersecurity, led out of UCL.
I was previously co-director of the WEFO-funded Data Innovation Accelerator (DIA) – a £3.75m investment in upskilling SMEs in South Wales to develop innovative AI-driven products and services.
I sit on the UK Government's AI Council, advising on the implementation of the industrial strategy in AI and the Data Economy.
I also have a strong interest in socio-technical security and the understanding of risks to society from cyber-enabled systems. I work very closely with the Criminology team at the Cardiff School of Social Sciences. We have pioneered innovation in AI for the modelling and understanding of risks to social safety and security in online social networks (e.g. production and propagation of cyber hate speech, suicidal ideation and malicious Web links). We have developed methods to understand the emotional factors contributing to propagation of harmful content, as well as network modeling methods to support the management of online harms. This research is organised under the banner of the Social Data Science Lab and HateLab within which I am a director and the computational lead. The Labs' core funding comes from ESRC and forms part of the £64m ‘Big Data Network’
