Description of the research topic:

Attacks against all digital systems are becoming increasingly sophisticated

thanks to well-funded actors, as well as the emergence of advanced AI systems.

This research is aimed at understanding, quantifying and proposing solutions

to mitigate this emerging threat especially in exposed cloud infrastructures

and organizations.

The candidate will develop solutions to better harden digital systems using

different machine learning algorithms, and Large Language Models (LLMs). The

candidate will be required to explore the complex world of digital security,

developing strategies to withstand the quickly changing environment of cyber

threats. The research will involve extensive analysis of current security

measures and their vulnerabilities, particularly in relation to cloud-based

systems. It will also involve the development of innovative techniques to

predict and prevent potential breaches.

Additionally, the candidate will explore how the principles of secure design

can be applied to existing systems to improve their resilience. This will

involve studying the architecture of digital systems, identifying weak points,

and proposing modifications to improve security.

Finally, the candidate will be expected to propose policy recommendations

based on their findings. These recommendations ought to aim to guide

organizations in adopting security measures and mitigating risks associated

with the use of AI and machine learning tools by threat actors. The goal of

this research is to contribute to the development of more secure digital

systems and to advance our understanding of the evolving cyber threats.
