*HICSS 2021 "Machine Learning and Cyber Threat Intelligence and Analytics
Minitrack"*

With the digitalization of things, a significant amount of data is
collected from different security monitoring solutions as well as systems
that were compromised or have been used to facilitate an attack (e.g. a
cloud server). Thus, advanced cyber threat intelligence and analytical
techniques (e.g. threat intelligence, big data and machine learning
techniques) are key to real-time detection and mitigation of cyber security
incidents, and to the collection and analysis of cyber security incident
related information.

This minitrack will focus on cutting-edge research from both academia and
industry, with a particular emphasis on novel techniques and tools to
perceive, reason, learn and act on a wide range of data collected from
different attack (or attempts), sophisticated advanced persistent threat
campaigns, etc. Only theoretical and technical papers describing previously
unpublished, original, state-of-the-art research, and not currently under
review by a conference or a journal will be considered.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Blockchain and its application in cyber security
- Detection and analysis of advanced threat actors tactics, techniques
and procedures
- Application of machine learning tools and techniques in cyber threat
intelligence
- Theories and models for detection and analysis of advanced persistent
threats
- Automated and smart tools for collection, preservation and analysis of
digital evidences
- Threat intelligence techniques for constructing, detecting, and
reacting to advanced intrusion campaigns
- Applying machines learning tools and techniques for malware analysis
and fighting against cyber crimes
- Intelligent incident response tools, techniques and procedures for
contemporary technologies, such as cloud and cyber-physical systems
- Intelligent analysis of different types of data collected from
different layers of network security solutions
- Threat intelligence in cyber security domain utilising big data
solutions such as Hadoop
- Intelligent methods to manage, share, and receive logs and data
relevant to variety of adversary groups
- Interpretation of cyber threat and forensic data utilising intelligent
data analysis techniques
- Infer intelligence of existing cyber security data generated by
different monitoring and defence solutions
- Automated and intelligent methods for adversary profiling
- Automated integration of analysed data within incident response and
cyber forensics capabilities
