My research project
Ethical and Auditable AI Decision-Making in Automated Cyber Threat Response: A Framework for Trustworthy Cyber Resilience.I’m interested in exploring the growing gap between how AI-driven cyber threat response systems actually operate in large-scale environments and how they are governed, audited, and ethically justified. In practice, AI is already influencing or making automated response decisions that have real operational and societal impact, particularly in critical and high-availability systems, yet these decisions are often opaque and difficult to audit or align with emerging regulatory expectations.
My research is focused on developing a practical framework for ethical and auditable AI decision-making in automated cyber threat response, grounded in real operational cyber resilience scenarios. The aim is to bridge cyber operations, AI governance, and regulation this will then show how organisations can maintain speed and effectiveness while ensuring transparency, accountability, and trust in AI-enabled resilience.
