As modern technology advances and the proliferation of the internet continues, cyber threats are also on the rise. To effectively counter these threats, the importance of utilizing Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) is becoming increasingly prominent. CTI provides information on new threats based on data from past cyber incidents, but the complexity of data and changing attack patterns present significant analytical challenges. To address these issues, this study aims to utilize graph data that can comprehensively represent multidimensional relationships. Specifically, the study constructs a heterogeneous graph based on malware data, and uses the metapath2vec node embedding technique to more effectively identify cyber attack groups. By analyzing the impact of incorporating topology information into traditional malware data, this research suggests new practical applications in the field of cyber security and contributes to overcoming the limitations of CTI analysis.

Nowadays, nations cyber security capabilities play an important role in a nation's defense. Security-critical infrastructures such as national defenses, public services, and financial services are now exposed to Advanced Persistent Threats (APT) and their resistance to such attacks effects the nations stability. Currently Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) is widely used by organizations to mitigate and deter APT for its ability to proactively protect their assets by using evidence-based knowledge. The evidence-based knowledge information can be exchanged among organizations and used by the receiving party to strengthen their cyber security management. This paper will discuss on the business process reengineering of the CTI information exchange management for a nationwide scaled control and governance by the government to better protect their national information security assets.

With the advancement of modern technology, cyber-attacks are always rising. Specialized defense systems are needed to protect organizations against these threats. Malicious behavior in the network is discovered using security tools like intrusion detection systems (IDS), firewall, antimalware systems, security information and event management (SIEM). It aids in defending businesses from attacks. Delivering advance threat feeds for precise attack detection in intrusion detection systems is the role of cyber-threat intelligence (CTI) in the study is being presented. In this proposed work CTI feeds are utilized in the detection of assaults accurately in intrusion detection system. The ultimate objective is to identify the attacker behind the attack. Several data sets had been analyzed for attack detection. With the proposed study the ability to identify network attacks has improved by using machine learning algorithms. The proposed model provides 98% accuracy, 97% precision, and 96% recall respectively.

2018년까지 알려진 표적공격 그룹은 꾸준히 증가하여 현재 155개로 2016년 대비 39개가 증가하였고, 침해사고의 평균 체류시간(dwell-time)은 2016년 172일에서 2018년 204일로 32일이 증가하였다. 점점 다양해지고 심화되고 있는 APT(Advanced Persistent Threat)공격에 대응하기 위하여 국내외 기업들의 사이버 위협 인텔리전스(CTI; Cyber Threat Intelligence) 활용이 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 현재 KISA에서는 글로벌 동향에 발맞춰 CTI를 활용할 수 있는 시스템을 개발 중에 있다. 본 논문에서는 효율적인 CTI 활용을 위한 OSINT(Open Source Intelligence)기반 사이버 위협 정보 수집 및 연관관계 표현 시스템을 소개하고자 한다.

There is little research on actual business activities in the field of security control. Therefore, in this paper, we intend to present a practical research methodology that can contribute to the calculation of the size of the appropriate input personnel through the modeling of the threat information detection response time of the security control and to analyze the effectiveness of the latest security solutions. The total threat information detection response time performed by the security control center is defined as TIDRT (Total Intelligence Detection & Response Time). The total threat information detection response time (TIDRT) is composed of the sum of the internal intelligence detection & response time (IIDRT) and the external intelligence detection & response time (EIDRT). The internal threat information detection response time (IIDRT) can be calculated as the sum of the five steps required. The ultimate goal of this study is to model the major business activities of the security control center with an equation to calculate the cyber threat information detection response time calculation formula of the security control center. In Chapter 2, previous studies are examined, and in Chapter 3, the calculation formula of the total threat information detection response time is modeled. Chapter 4 concludes with a conclusion.

Recently, cyber threats are frequently occurring in ICS(industrial control systems) of government agencies, infrastructure, and manufacturing companies. In order to cope with such cyber threats, it is necessary to apply CTI to ICS. For this purpose, a security information collection system is needed. However, it is difficult to install security solution in control devices such as PLC. Therefor, it is difficult to collect security information of ICS. In addition, there is a problem that the security information format generated in various assets is different. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an efficient method to collect ICS security information. We utilize CybOX/STIX/TAXII CTI models that are easy to apply to ICS. Using this model, we designed the formats to collect security information of ICS assets. We created formats for system logs, IDS logs, and EWS application logs of ICS assets using Windows and Linux. In addition, we designed and implemented a security information collection system that reflects the designed formats. This system can be used to apply monitoring system and CTI to future ICS.

정보통신 기술의 발달로 무분별한 사이버 공격에 노출되어 있기 때문에 정보보안의 기술이 중요해지고 있다. 이중 침입 탐지 시스템은 방화벽과 더불어 시스템 및 네트워크 보안을 위한 대표적인 수단으로, 현재까지 네트워크 기반인 NIDS와 호스트 기반인 HIDS에 대한 많은 연구가 이루어졌다. 이러한 침입 탐지에 대한 CTI(Cyber Threat Intelligence)를 공유하기 위해 다양한 CTI 프레임워크를 사용하여 CTI 정보를 공유하는 연구가 진행되고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 CVE기반의 OpenIOC와 Snort 및 OSSEC에서 생성된 Raw Data를 결합하여 새로운 CTI 프레임 워크를 제안한다. 제안된 시스템을 테스트하기 위해서는 CVE 분석을 기반으로한 Kali Linux로 공격을 진행한다, 이를 통해 생성된 데이터는 시간이 지남에 따라 축적된 데이터를 저장 및 검색을 위해 대규모 분산 처리 시스템과도 결합이 필요할 것으로 예상되며 추후 딥러닝 기술을 활용하면 지능형 지속 위협을 분석하는데 용이할 것으로 예상된다.

Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI)는 성장하는 사이버 공격에 대응하는 새로운 보안체계 개념으로써 최근 많은 조직에서 보안성을 향상시키기 위해 도입하고 있다. 조직에서 CTI의 도입은 보안 조직간의 위협 정보와 그에 대응할 수 있는 방어 전략을 공유하여 다양한 선제공격을 방어하기 위해 필수적이다. 이에 따라 CTI 위협 정보를 공유하는 조직이 점차 늘어나고 있으며 정보의 양은 점차 많아지고 있다. 하지만 정보를 공유받는 대부분의 조직이 공격자가 악의적으로 잘못된 위협 정보를 수집한 경우 또 다른 사이버 공격으로 이어질 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 CTI 정보 공유에서 사이버 위협 대응 조치 전략을 조직에 적용하기 전에 가상의 네트워크 아키텍처에서 적용시킨 후 평가 및 검증을 통해 공격을 목적으로 한 악의적인 정보가 적용되지 않도록 사전에 방어한다.

With development of computing and communications technologies, IoT environments based on high-speed networks have been extending rapidly. Especially, from home to an office or a factory, applications of IoT devices with sensing environment and performing computations are increasing. Unfortunately, IoT devices which have limited hardware resources can be vulnerable to cyber attacks. Hence, there is a concern that an IoT botnet can give rise to information leakage as a national cyber security crisis arising from abuse as a malicious waypoint or propagation through connected networks. In order to response in advance from unknown cyber threats in IoT networks, in this paper, We firstly define four types of We firstly define four types of characteristics by analyzing darknet traffic accessed from an IoT botnet. Using the characteristic, a suspicious IP address is filtered quickly. Secondly, the filtered address is identified by Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) or Open Source INTelligence (OSINT) in terms of an unknown suspicious host. The identified IP address is finally fingerprinted to determine whether the IP is a malicious host or not. To verify a validation of the proposed method, we apply to a Darknet on real-world SOC. As a result, about 1,000 hosts who are detected and blocked preemptively by the proposed method are confirmed as real IoT botnets.
