معرفی
Dr. Marco Cook is a Research Associate (academic rank mapped to Researcher) at the School of Computing Science, University of Glasgow. He is an active member of the GLAsgow Systems Section (GLASS) and affiliated with the Netlab (Networked Systems Research Laboratory) and Cyber Defence Lab research groups. Cook completed his PhD in 2023 through an EPSRC iCASE studentship award supported by the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl).
Research Focus
Cook's research specializes in cyber-physical systems security with emphasis on:
- Industrial Control System (ICS) anomaly detection and forensics
- Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) vulnerability analysis
- Cyber resilience for Critical National Infrastructure
- eBPF-based network security solutions
- Operational Technology (OT) protection mechanisms
Publication Analysis
Cook's 15 most recent publications (2020-2025) demonstrate consistent focus on industrial control system security, with emerging emphasis on eBPF-based network programmability for OT environments. Dominant themes include: anomaly detection frameworks (40%), PLC security (33%), ICS forensics (20%), and programmable network architectures (27%), frequently intersecting cyber-physical systems concepts.
Research Groups & Funding
Active in Glasgow's Netlab (networked systems) and Cyber Defence Lab. PhD funded by EPSRC iCASE studentship with Dstl partnership. Current projects involve eBPF-based OT resilience and ICS anomaly diagnosis frameworks.
