Congratulations to Dr. Jason Jaskolka on his appointment as an Academic Fellow in the Rogers Cybersecure Catalyst Fellowship program!

The Rogers Cybersecure Catalyst Fellowship provides a unique opportunity to advance the CyberSEA Research Lab’s research and expand its real-world impact through engagement with industry, government, and policy stakeholders. The program supports research that addresses national cybersecurity priorities while fostering knowledge mobilization and innovation.

Through this fellowship, Dr. Jaskolka and the CyberSEA Research Lab will develop a consequence-driven analysis framework for AI-enabled critical infrastructure. The project seeks to help decision-makers understand how AI-related failures or compromises can affect critical functions, how their consequences can propagate through complex systems, and how those consequences can be effectively mitigated and bounded.

We look forward to engaging with critical infrastructure operators, industry partners, government stakeholders, and fellow Catalyst researchers throughout this initiative. Visit our Current Projects page to learn more.

Another of our recent papers “” is now available online. In this work, we create a tool that enables scalable automation for control selection approaches. The tool is based on a previously proposed game-theoretic approach, but could be modified to support any other control selection approach. Scalability is achieved by the development of a novel algorithm that finds suggested security control combinations for a system while considering control dependencies and budgetary constraints. As the problem addressed by the algorithm is a variation of the bounded 0–1 knapsack problem with dependencies between items, we prove the functionality of the algorithm and demonstrate that it has computational complexity O(n) in special cases. This paper was presented at the . See Publications for more details!
