My current research interest is in decision making systems; why certain decisions are made, and how decision processes can be improved upon.
I am looking at this primarily through a cyber security lens at present.
So my current focus is on cyber attacks against decision making systems, human or artificial. This can be hacking people through spear phishing attacks, or hacking AI through data input manipulation. The goal is the same; to manipulate the default algorithm. I find this area quite interesting because it is an integrity based attack. It isn’t aimed at confidentiality like a data ex-filtration attempt, or availability like a denial of service attack.
I am also interested in non persistent attacks, and evasion of detection algorithms. Where the first attack attempt achieves the objective, and there is no leading indicator allowing for preventative control modification.
