Recently, as the use of smart devices is becoming more common, various and convenient services are being developed. Among these services, the Social Network Service(SNS) is easily accessible anywhere, anytime. In particular, as well as sharing information, it forms a social relationship in cyberspace to expand new connections, and the SNS account is used as an authentication means of other services to provide users with speed and convenience at all times. However, despite the many advantages of SNS, due to security vulnerabilities occurring in the interworking process with various services, accidents of personal information are constantly occurring, and it is urgent to prepare countermeasures against potential risk factors. It is a necessary situation. Therefore, in this paper, the use of SNS is expected to increase rapidly in the future, and it is expected that it will be used as the basic data for developing the countermeasures by learning the countermeasures according to the security threats of the SNS.

In an environment where computer-related technologies are rapidly changing, cyber threats continue to emerge as they are advanced and diversified along with new technologies. Therefore, in this study, we would like to collect security-related news articles, conduct LDA topic modeling, and examine trends. To that end, news articles from January 2020 to August 2023 were collected and major topics were derived through LDA analysis. After that, the flow by topic was grasped and the main origin was analyzed. The analysis results show that ransomware attacks in 2021 and hacking of virtual asset exchanges in 2023 are major issues in the recent security sector. This allows you to check trends in security issues and see what research should be focused on in the future. It is also expected to be able to recognize the latest threats and support appropriate response strategies, contributing to the development of effective security measures.

With the development of ICT and network, security management of IT infrastructure that has grown in size is becoming very difficult. Many companies and public institutions are having difficulty managing system and network security. In addition, as the complexity of hardware and software grows, it is becoming almost impossible for a person to manage all security. Therefore, AI is essential for network security management. However, since it is very dangerous to operate an attack model in a real network environment, cybersecurity emulation research was conducted through reinforcement learning by implementing a real-life network environment. To this end, this study applied reinforcement learning to the network environment, and as the learning progressed, the agent accurately identified the vulnerability of the network. When a network vulnerability is detected through AI, automated customized response becomes possible.

National-scale industrial control systems for gas, electric power, water processing, nuclear power, and traffic control systems increasingly use open networks and open standards protocols based on advanced information and communications technologies. The frequency of cyberattacks increases steadily because of the use of open networks and open standards protocols, but follow-up actions are limited. Therefore, the application of security solutions to an industrial control system is very important. However, it is not possible to apply security solutions to a real system because of the characteristics of industrial control systems. And a security system that can detect attacks without affecting the existing system is imperative. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an intrusion detection system based on packet analysis that can detect anomalous behaviors without affecting the industrial control system, and we verify the effectiveness of the proposed intrusion detection system by applying it in a test bed simulating a real environment.

The object of this study is to propose a study on the Private Investigator usage for Cyber Crime. The latest trend of cyber crime is being evolve in sophisticated and complex way over the global, like internet fraud, cyber gambling, hacking and etc. Hence national investigative authority mobilize high specialized skills and method of criminal investigation by each nation. But it is hard to respond in rapid and effective way because of propoor, distribution of group and insufficient of related legal system. Already in other countries, not considerable amount of services are given to private investigators in detection and tracking part which is inefficient by nation. So it has significantly meaningful to compensate the defect and study about private investigator usage as companion of cooperation policing for effectively respond to cyber-crime. The way to effectively deal with the cyber-crime is reevaluate meaning of partnership policing and need of private investigator usage. Also it is to analyze the main issue about introduction of a system and suggest the effective way of introduction. First, legislation of private investigator usage which is based upon partnership policing should be made up. Moreover, to establish the range of private investigator's business and enhance the reliability, it is to propose introduction of leading professional global certificate and license system with sufficient education and test. We are expecting introduction of private investigator usage can improve efficiency of investigation and promote effective countermeasures of cyber-crime.

1980년대 아날로그 이동전화서비스로 시작된 이동통신 기술은 매 10년을 주기로 빠르게 발전해 오고 있다. 디지털화를 거쳐 모바일 광대역 서비스에 초점을 맞춘 이전 세대와는 달리, 5G 이동통신서비스는 다양한 미래 정보통신 융합서비스의 플랫폼으로서, 산업구조 혁신을 통해 새로운 스마트 비즈니스 모델 및 산업 생태계를 창출하는 4차 산업혁명의 핵심 인프라로 주목받고 있다. 이러한 변화의 흐름속에서 이동통신서비스는 우리 실생활과 더욱 밀접해지고 있으나, 다른 한편으로 이동통신 환경의 취약점을 악용한 사이버 공격 위험에 노출될 가능성도 점차 확대되고 있다. 이런 배경에는 국제전기통신연합(ITU)의 IMT-2020 비전 및 요구사항을 충족시키기 위한 5G 네트워크의 구조적인 변화에 따라 공격접점이 크게 확대 되었기 때문이다. 본 고에서는 5G 시대의 도래와 함께 가장 큰 구조적 변화를 겪으며 5G 융합서비스의 핵심 인프라로서 새롭게 주목받고 있는 5G 엣지의 주요 특징을 살펴보고, 5G 엣지에서 제기되고 있는 보안위협과 이에 대한 대응 기술의 동향에 대해 살펴보고자 한다.

The U.N. Security Council's North Korea Sanctions Committee estimated that the amount of North Korea's cyberattacks on virtual asset-related companies from 2017 to 2023 was about 4 trillion won. North Korea's cyberattacks have secured funds through cryptocurrency hacking as it has been restricted from securing foreign currency due to economic sanctions by the international community, and it also shows the form of technology theft against defense companies, and illegal assets are being used to maintain the Kim Jong-un regime and develop nuclear and missile development. When North Korea conducted its sixth nuclear test on September 3, 2017, and declared the completion of its national nuclear armament following the launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile on November 29 of the same year, the U.N. imposed sanctions on North Korea, which are considered the strongest economic sanctions in history. In these difficult economic situations, North Korea tried to overcome the crisis through cyberattacks, but as a result of analyzing the changes through the North's cyber attack cases, the strategic goal from the first period from 2009 to 2016 was to verify and show off North Korea's cyber capabilities through the neutralization of the national network and the takeover of information, and was seen as an intention to create social chaos in South Korea. When foreign currency earnings were limited due to sanctions against North Korea in 2016, the second stage seized virtual currency and secured funds to maintain the Kim Jong-un regime and advance nuclear and missile development. The third stage is a technology hacking of domestic and foreign defense companies, focusing on taking over key technologies to achieve the five strategic weapons tasks proposed by Chairman Kim Jong-un at the 8th Party Congress in 2021. At the national level, security measures for private companies as well as state agencies should be established against North Korea's cyberattacks, and measures for legal systems, technical problems, and budgets related to science are urgently needed. It is also necessary to establish a system and manpower to respond to the ever-developing cyberattacks by focusing on cultivating and securing professional manpower such as white hackers.

Information service technology continues to develop, and information service continues to expand based on the IT convergence trend. The premeter-based security model chosen by many organizations can increase the effectiveness of security technologies. However, in the premeter-based security model, it is very difficult to deny security threats that occur from within. To solve this problem, a zero trust model has been proposed. The zero trust model requires authentication for user and terminal environments, device security environment verification, and real-time monitoring and control functions. The operating environment of the information service may vary. Information security management should be able to response effectively when security threats occur in various systems at the same time. In this study, we proposed a security policy distribution system in the object reference method that can effectively distribute security policies to many systems. It was confirmed that the object reference type security policy distribution system proposed in this study can support all of the operating environments of the system constituting the information service. Since the policy distribution performance was confirmed to be similar to that of other security systems, it was verified that it was sufficiently effective. However, since this study assumed that the security threat target was predefined, additional research is needed on the identification method of the breach target for each security threat.

Information security companies were established in earnest from the mid-late 1990s to early 2000s, far shorter than other national key industries. Nevertheless, the information security industry has made rapid progress. It is expected that the proportion of the information security industry will increase rapidly with the development of advanced technology along with the 4th industrial revolution. As COVID-19, which occurred at the end of 2019, spreads around the world in 2020, non-face-to-face services and digital transformation are accelerating, and cyber threats to users are also increasing. However, there are limitations in responding to new Cyber Security threats due to the shortage of information protection manpower, insufficient security capabilities of domestic companies, and the narrow domestic information protection market. This study examines the external environmental factors of information security companies such as government information protection system operation, government influence, government support, partnership between information security companies, and internal environmental factors such as top management support, financial status, human resources, organizational capability, This study was conducted using empirical data to analyze whether it affects innovation capability and whether organizational capability and innovation capability affect financial and non-financial performance. The results of this study can be used as basic data to suggest policies and implications for information security, and to strengthen the competitiveness of the information security industry.
