About

Filipa Ferrada is a researcher at the forefront of cybersecurity for the Internet of Things (IoT), specializing in the development of ontology-based frameworks to monitor and assess system behavior. Her work addresses a critical challenge in modern computing: how to systematically track and evaluate cybersecurity risks as new devices and components are introduced into complex IoT environments. Ferrada’s most-cited paper, “An Ontology-Based Solution for Monitoring IoT Cybersecurity” (2022), has garnered 5 citations and lays the groundwork for a structured, domain-aware approach to threat detection. She further refined this methodology in her 2023 paper, “DAEMON: A Domain-Based Monitoring Ontology for IoT Systems,” which introduces a formal, reusable ontology designed to capture the semantics of IoT domains and enable real-time behavioral assessment from a cybersecurity perspective. Though early in her career, Ferrada’s contributions are already shaping how researchers and practitioners think about proactive, ontology-driven monitoring—moving beyond reactive security measures toward intelligent, context-aware oversight. Her work is particularly notable for bridging theoretical ontology engineering with practical IoT security challenges, offering a scalable foundation for future smart systems.
