[] Internet traffic modeling and analysis is critical for network design and for cybersecurity. Internet traffic differs from Telephone traffic insofar as it characterized by long range dependent scale-free temporal dynamics. In this talk, we will describe multiscale analysis as a state-of-the-art tool to assess and quantify scale-free dynamics. We will also that show that wavelet analysis mut be combined with random projection strategies to permit a statistical characterization of Internet background traffic both accurate and robust to anomalies. In turn, these random projections can be further involved into automated anomaly detection and into the identification of the IP addresses involved. However, scale-free analysis remained so far mostly univariate, applied independently to directional counts of either bytes or packets, while challenges in cybersecurity naturally call for multivariate analysis. Elaborating on recent theoretical developments on eigenvalue-based multivariate self-similarity analysis, this talk will provide evidence for multivariate self-similarity in 17 years of Internet traffic data from the MAWI repository and will discuss the potential use of multivariate self-similarity for low volume anomaly detection.

Abstract: The rapid evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in cybersecurity is reshaping how digital threats are detected, mitigated, and prevented. AI-driven security solutions enhance threat intelligence, automate responses, and strengthen cyber defense mechanisms. However, as AI becomes more embedded in cybersecurity frameworks, it raises critical concerns about human rights, privacy, and ethical governance. The use of AI in surveillance, data monitoring, and decision-making has sparked debates about its potential to infringe on fundamental freedoms, leading to questions about accountability, fairness, and transparency. This webinar will explore the intersection of cybersecurity, AI, and human rights, addressing how AI-driven security measures impact digital privacy, freedom of expression, and the ethical responsibilities of organizations and governments. Experts from cybersecurity, law, and ethics will discuss key challenges such as algorithmic bias, the risks of AI-powered surveillance, and the implications of cybersecurity policies on human rights. Additionally, the session will examine regulatory frameworks and best practices to ensure AI technologies are deployed responsibly while upholding democratic values and societal trust.
