Detecting and Quantifying Malicious Activity with Simulation-based Inference
We propose the use of probabilistic programming techniques to tackle the malicious user identification problem in a recommendation algorithm. Probabilistic programming provides numerous advantages over other techniques, including but not limited to providing a disentangled representation of how malicious users acted under a structured model, as well as allowing for the quantification of damage caused by malicious users. We show experiments in malicious user identification using a model of regular and malicious users interacting with a simple recommendation algorithm, and provide a novel simulation-based measure for quantifying the effects of a user or group of users on its dynamics.

Detecting malicious logins as graph anomalies
Authenticated lateral movement via compromised accounts is a common adversarial maneuver that is challenging to discover with signature- or rules-based intrusion detection systems. In this work a behavior-based approach …
Intrusion DetectionA Consensus-Bayesian Framework for Detecting Malicious Activity in Enterprise Directory Access Graphs
This work presents a consensus-based Bayesian framework to detect malicious user behavior in enterprise directory access graphs. By modeling directories as topics and users as agents within a multi-level interaction grap…
Detecting Malicious Accounts showing Adversarial Behavior in Permissionless Blockchains
Different types of malicious activities have been flagged in multiple permissionless blockchains such as bitcoin, Ethereum etc. While some malicious activities exploit vulnerabilities in the infrastructure of the blockch…
The GANfather: Controllable generation of malicious activity to improve defence systems
Machine learning methods to aid defence systems in detecting malicious activity typically rely on labelled data. In some domains, such labelled data is unavailable or incomplete. In practice this can lead to low detectio…
