Measuring emotional biases in attention and memory in individuals who fear happiness
A central goal in contemporary clinical science is to measure emotionally driven factors of psychopathology through cognitive experimental methods. However, limitations in previous experimental paradigms have led to a lack of sensitivity and reliability in measuring the biased processing of positive and negative information. Additionally, these biases have not been investigated in individuals who fear happiness. Therefore, this study examined the unique relations between attention and memory biases of emotional stimuli and fear of happiness scores. A more sensitive experimental paradigm tracked eye positions while participants viewed faces over time to measure tendencies to attend to emotional content. A memory task for the viewed faces was also employed to measure biases in the recall of positive and negative faces. There were no overall average differences in attentional biases or memory performance between those low and high in fear of happiness. Both groups displayed quick, automatic attention biases toward all emotional faces, which emerged earlier than identified in past studies. Time course analyses showed that whereas the attentional bias toward happiness sustained in the low fear of happiness group, this positivity bias disappeared after a few seconds in the high fear of happiness group. Additionally, the bias toward sadness reversed into a bias to view neutral faces in the high fear of happiness group. These findings provide evidence of an overall valence or saliency bias, in which all emotional expressions quickly capture initial attention allocation. Additionally, those who fear happiness may avoid positive information after initial appraisal, experience emotional insensitivity, or even fear all emotional experiences that emerge over time
Autonomous generation of IDS rules from threat intelligence
Signature-based Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) detect malicious activities by matching network or host activity against predefined rules. These rules are derived from Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI), which includes attack signatures and behavioral patterns obtained through automated tools and manual threat analysis, such as sandboxing. The CTI is then transformed into actionable rules for the IDS engine, enabling real-time detection and prevention of threats. The constant evolution of cyber threats necessitates frequent rule updates, which delay deployment time and weaken overall security readiness. Recent advancements in autonomous agentic systems powered by Large Language Models (LLMs) offer the potential for automatic IDS rule generation with internal evaluation. This research explores the feasibility of automatically generating deployable IDS rules from CTIs, highlighting their crucial role in enhancing real-time intrusion detection. This research introduces GRAID (Autonomous Intrusion Detection Rule Generation), an agentic framework that generates IDS rules in real-time from CTIs and evaluates them using built-in syntax validators. To demonstrate the versatility of GRAID, this work targets both network (Snort) and host-based (YARA) IDS rule generation and constructs a dataset of rules with their corresponding CTIs
