Momen Oqaily
Cyber Security Researcher

Bio

Momen Oqaily is currently pursuing a Ph.D. at the Concordia Institute for Information System Engineering, Concordia University. He earned his bachelor's degree in Network Engineering and Security from Jordan University of Science and Technology, followed by a master's degree in Information System Engineering at Concordia University. His research is centered on the development of scalable and intelligent technologies aimed at enhancing the transparency and reliability of real-world computing systems. Additionally, he focuses on cloud computing security, NFV/5G security and privacy.

Research Mission

Our objective is to build a framework for automating compliance verification for virtual infrastructure components in a privacy-preserving manner. Propose efficient methods for collecting, aggregating, filtering and fusing input data from the different virtual infrastructure and components. Design approaches for predicting and detecting security violations proactively and preserves the privacy audit input and output retroactively.
