Nowadays, Terrorism has become bloodier. Unlike the past, the recent terrorism has been indiscriminate in the purpose of mass- killing. Given this aspect, the threat of a CBRN attack is the biggest one to modern society. Notably, the possibility of terrorist attacks in Korea by international terrorist groups such as ISIL is higher than ever in consideration of its allusion; crusades and the devil's allied forces. To overcome these circumstances, various measures have been taken for counter terrorism at the state level including anti-terrorist legislation. Under the anti-terrorist act, police have to lead relevant inter agencies when it comes to the CBRN terror. At first glance, current countermeasures would work well. However, in order to respond quickly, the standing cooperations system of related departments need to be set up. In this sense, this article proposed a coagulatory body that could not only consider institutional-oriented organizational restructuring and response but also integrate and operate functions of various specialized institutions. It also stressed that the council should move toward a consultative body of information gathering, distribution and working- level consultation. With this cooperation system, counter-terrorism agencies can respond rapidly, stop wasting their effort and assets by about 30%. Also, they could design the atypical aspect of terrorism into standardized.

Today, the rapid advance of scientific technologies has brought about fundamental changes to the types and levels of terrorism while the war against the world more than one thousand small and big terrorists and crime organizations has already begun. A method highly likely to be employed by terrorist groups that are using 21st Century state of the art technology is cyber terrorism. In many instances, things that you could only imagine in reality could be made possible in the cyber space. An easy example would be to randomly alter a letter in the blood type of a terrorism subject in the health care data system, which could inflict harm to subjects and impact the overturning of the opponent's system or regime. The CIH Virus Crisis which occurred on April 26, 1999 had significant implications in various aspects. A virus program made of just a few lines by Taiwanese college students without any specific objective ended up spreading widely throughout the Internet, causing damage to 30,000 PCs in Korea and over 2 billion won in monetary damages in repairs and data recovery. Despite of such risks of cyber terrorism, a great number of Korean sites are employing loose security measures. In fact, there are many cases where a company with millions of subscribers has very slackened security systems. A nationwide preparation for cyber terrorism is called for. In this context, this research will analyze the current status of Korea's cyber security systems and its laws from a policy perspective, and move on to propose improvement strategies. This research suggests the following solutions. First, the National Cyber Security Management Act should be passed to have its effectiveness as the national cyber security management regulation. With the Act's establishment, a more efficient and proactive response to cyber security management will be made possible within a nationwide cyber security framework, and define its relationship with other related laws. The newly passed National Cyber Security Management Act will eliminate inefficiencies that are caused by functional redundancies dispersed across individual sectors in current legislation. Second, to ensure efficient nationwide cyber security management, national cyber security standards and models should be proposed; while at the same time a national cyber security management organizational structure should be established to implement national cyber security policies at each government-agencies and social-components. The National Cyber Security Center must serve as the comprehensive collection, analysis and processing point for national cyber crisis related information, oversee each government agency, and build collaborative relations with the private sector. Also, national and comprehensive response system in which both the private and public sectors participate should be set up, for advance detection and prevention of cyber crisis risks and for a consolidated and timely response using national resources in times of crisis.

Cyber attacks expose sensitive information and cause fatal damage in both the public and the private sectors. Therefore, MKE (Ministry of Knowledge Economy) Cyber Security Center was founded on July 25, 2008, to perform three major roles. First, it detects and analyzes cyber attacks for the both sectors. Second, its ISAC (Information Sharing & Analysis Center) service analyzes and evaluates the vulnerability of the communication and network infrastructure to security threats, including control systems. Third, it provides CERT/CC (Computer Emergency Response Team Coordination Center) service to prevent and to respond to computer security incidents. This study focuses on the MKE Cyber Security Center's service analysis, which is playing an increasingly larger role in the both sectors. Based on this analysis, after grasping the response services activity and pointing out the problems, this study suggests improvements to the MKE Cyber Security Center.

As the post-cold war era and globalization go on, national security problems which were not traditional national security problems such as terrorism, crime, environmental disasters, economic crises, cyber-terrorism, diseases, and energy problems threat humanity and nations and demands changes. Also, with the change, the concept of "big government" has emerged as the role of nation expanded. The modern society sees every country change from small government to big government in order to realize the establishment of welfare state. A comprehensive interpretation of security is needed in order to comprehensive protection of citizens beyond outside invasion such as crime, new disaster, terrorism. In Korea, incidents such as Cheonan-Ham, Yeonpeyong-Do, foot-and-mouth disease, Ddos terrorism, pirates hostages, mad cow disease, AI are happening and the humanitarian support for North Korea and the summit of South and North Korea are at a standstill. Also, National emergency management system, comprehensive emergency management center, countrol tower, national security system, cooperation with citizens, establishment of legal and institutional system are needed. The importance of this research is on the reestablishment of new national security and emergency management system according to the comparison between the national security and counter-terrorism system of Korea and that of the United States which is a leading country in this field. Also, the establishment of national emergency management act is needed as a statute for effective function as currently various laws and administrative organizations are dispersed.

Recently, as the threat of cyber crime increases, the importance of security control to cope with cyber attacks on the information systems in the first place such as real-time detection is increasing. In the name of security control center, cyber terror response center and infringement response center, institutional control personnel are making efforts to prevent cyber attacks. Especially, we are detecting infringement accident by using network security equipment or utilizing control system, but it's not enough to prevent infringement accident by just controlling based on device-driven simple patterns. Therefore, the security control system is continuously being upgraded, and the development and research on the detection method are being actively carried out by the prevention activity against the threat of infringement. In this paper, we have defined the method of detecting infringement of major component module in order to improve the problem of existing infringement detection method. Through the performance tests for each module, we propose measures for effective security control and study effective infringement threat detection method by upgrading the control system using Security Information Event Management (SIEM).

전력시스템에 IT를 결합한 스마트그리드에 대한 연구가 최근 활발히 진행되고 있다. 스마트그리드 중 전력시스템의 핵심이라 할 수 있는 전력시스템 제어센터 간 통신을 담당하는 것이 ICCP 프로토콜이며, 주로 중앙급전소와 지역급전소간의 전력망 정보들을 교환하는데 사용되고 있다. 이 프로토콜은 단지 전력망의 정보교환 뿐 아니라 전력기기제어 기능도 가지고 있다. ICCP 프로토콜은 TCP/IP 프로토콜을 기반으로 동작하기 때문에 잠재적으로 다양한 형태의 사이버 공격이 가능하다. 또한 이 프로토콜을 사용하는 중앙급전소의 경우 주요 국가기반시설로써 사이버테러에 더욱더 공고한 대응체계를 갖추어야 할 필요가 있다. 현재 ICCP 프로토콜을 사용하는 통신 구간은 일반적으로 외부 네트워크와 분리되어 그 안전성을 담보하고 있지만, 네트워크 분리를 통한 보안성 향상 기법이 체계적인 관리와 함께 수반되지 않으면 인적 취약성이나 새로운 형태의 모바일 기기를 통한 물리적 취약성에 지속적으로 노출 될 수 있는 잠재적 위험을 내포하고 있다. 따라서 이러한 보안 사고의 잠재적 발생 가능성으로 인해 외부네트워크와 분리된 제어센터들도 향후 더욱더 높은 수준의 보안 기술을 적용할 필요성이 강조되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 전력 제어센터 사이에서 사용되고 있는 ICCP 프로토콜의 사이버 보안 현황에 대해 살펴보고 해당 프로토콜의 보안 위험성과 이에 대한 대응방안을 고찰한다.

Highlighted by recent security breaches including Google, Western Energy Company, and the Stuxnet infiltration of Iranian nuclear sites, Cyber warfare attacks pose a threat to national and global security. In particular, targeted attacks such as APT exploiting a high degree of stealthiness over a long period, has extended their victims from PCs and enterprise servers to government organizations and critical national infrastructure whereas the existing security measures exhibited limited capabilities in detecting and countermeasuring them. As a solution to fight against such attacks, we designed and implemented a security monitoring system, which shares security information and helps cooperative countermeasure. The proposed security monitoring system collects security event logs from heterogeneous security devices, analyses them, and visualizes the security status using 3D technology. The capability of the proposed system was evaluated and demonstrated throughly by deploying it under real network in a ISP for a week.

Since the September 11, 2001, the motives and objectives of terrorism that have been targeted at hard targets such as key national facilities have now shifted towards soft targets such as subways, department stores, and tourist hotels; the attacks on these soft targets are steadily increasing. Simultaneous, unconventional, and indiscriminate terrorist attacks on civilians has also increased. In November, 2010, nearly forty states of the G20 and B20 (Business 20) will join in international summits to be hosted in Seoul. This coming July, an additional 350 troops will be deployed to Afghanistan for the sustainment of public security. Such events are sensitive topics, and there is the possibility of terrorist movement. Korea has successfully hosted various international events such as the APEC and ASEM Summits, and the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup. The experiences from these events must be applied to ensure the safety of public facilities against the dangers of terrorism. First, counter-terrorism center must be established for the long-term, above the General Officer level to ensure the safety and efficiency of multilateral, international summits, as well as promoting policies and legislation aimed at preventing terrorism. Second, a terrorist threat management system must be secured and safety measures must be emphasized. Third, a fundamental structure must be established for the prevention of terrorism on public facilities, as well as legal and government action against the new threat of IED. Fourth, the police and fire fighting networks' must have a firm rapid response posture on the scene of an attack. Fifth, the state of mentality on the recognition of terrorist threats must be changed and restructured by promoting to and educating the population. Sixth, prevention measures must be established via research and academia. Seventh, for the guarantee of security in public facilities, safety management should employ cutting edge technology such as the 3D SICS and further develop and apply such technology. All methods and resources must be fully utilized for the establishment and strengthening terrorism prevention measures.
