Enhancing Cybersecurity Risk Assessment using Temporal Knowledge Graphs

My recent publication in Decision Support Systems (Elsevier, 2025) focuses on temporal knowledge graph-based explainable DSS for cybersecurity.

We created a dataset of cybersecurity policies from 190 global firms and built a temporal knowledge graph to capture entity relations over time. The model then used attention-based mechanisms to classify policy vulnerabilities.

Highlights:

• Introduced the first temporal cybersecurity policy dataset.
• Automated attention unit selection for interpretability.
• Developed an explainable DSS that identifies and explains vulnerabilities.

Why it matters

Modern enterprises face evolving threats. Our framework doesn’t just flag a risky policy — it explains which rule and why it’s risky, helping companies improve their cybersecurity posture proactively.
