Global cyber threats to industrial control systems are increasing. As a result, related research and cooperation are actively underway. However, we are focusing on strengthening security for physical network separation and perimeter. Internal threats are still vulnerable. This is because the easiest and strongest countermeasure is to enhance border security, and solutions for enhancing internal security are not easy to apply due to system availability problems. In particular, there are many vulnerabilities due to the large number of legacy systems remaining throughout industrial control systems. Unless these vulnerable systems are newly built according to the security framework, it is necessary to respond to these vulnerable systems, and therefore, a security solution considering availability has been verified and suggested. Using Sysmon and ELK, security solutions can detect Cyber-threat that are difficult to detect in unstructured ICS.

Recently, discussions for the eradication of illegal shooting have been carried out in a socially-oriented way. The government has established comprehensive measures to eradicate cyber sexual violence crimes such as illegal shooting. Although the social interest in illegal shooting has increased, the illegal film shooting case is evolving more and more due to the development of information and communication technology. Applications that can hide confused videos are constantly circulating around the market and community sites. As a result, field investigators and professional analysts are experiencing difficulties in collecting and analyzing evidence. In this paper, we propose an evidence collection and analysis framework for illegal shooting cases in order to give practical help to illegal shooting investigation. We also proposed a system that can detect hidden applications, which is one of the main obstacles in evidence collection and analysis. We developed a detection tool to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed system and confirmed the feasibility and scalability of the system through experiments using commercially available concealed apps.

IoT(Internet of Things) 디바이스가 상호연결됨에 따라 융합환경인 IoBE(Internet of Things Blended Environment)가 발전하고 있다. 그러나 IoBE 내 IoT 디바이스가 상호연결되고, 네트워크가 복잡해짐에 따라 공격 표면도 증가하고 있다. 이를 통해 증가한 공격 표면에서 서로 다른 취약점들이 복합된 보안위협인 BT(Blended Threat)가 나타날 수 있다. 기존에 보안위협 대응을 위한 프레임워크 중 하나로 Cyber Kill Chain이 활용되고 있지만, 이는 공격자가 한 번의 공격을 수행하는 과정을 분석하므로 IoBE에서 발생 가능한 BT에 적용하기 어렵다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 IoBE 내 BT 기반 공격에 대한 분석이 가능한 IoBE Kill Chain을 제안한다.

As various services are linked to IoT(Internet of Things) and portable communication terminals, cyber attacks that exploit security vulnerabilities of the devices are rapidly increasing. In particular, cyber attacks targeting heterogeneous devices in large-scale network environments through advanced persistent threat (APT) attacks are on the rise. Therefore, in order to improve the effectiveness of the response system in the event of a breach, it is necessary to apply a data enrichment mechanism for the collected artifact data to improve threat analysis and detection performance. Therefore, in this study, by analyzing the data supplementation common elements performed in the existing incident management framework for the artifacts collected for the analysis of intrusion accidents, characteristic elements applicable to the actual system were derived, and based on this, an improved accident analysis framework The prototype structure was presented and the suitability of the derived data supplementary extension elements was verified. Through this, it is expected to improve the detection performance when analyzing cyber incidents targeting artifacts collected from heterogeneous devices.

In this paper, we aim to propose a comprehensive framework for cyber threat analysis of urban air mobility (UAM) or advanced air mobility (AAM) communications, navigation, surveillance, and information system infrastructure. By examining potential vulnerabilities and threat vectors, we seek to enhance the security and resilience of UAM infrastructure. We conduct a detailed cyber threat analysis to identify and categorize various types of cyber threats, assess their impact on the CNSi systems, and evaluate the vulnerabilities within these systems that may be exploited by such threats. This analysis will provide valuable insights for stakeholders involved in the deployment and operation of UAM systems, ultimately contributing to the safe and efficient integration of urban air transportation.

In the mordern society, the reliance on the cyber domain and the cyber connectivity has been increasingly strengthened. Due to this phenomenon, the cyberterror against critical infrastructures and state organs might lead to fatal consequences. Lately, North Korea's cyberattacks against South Korea's national organizations and financial computer networks are becoming more and more intelligent and sophisticated. The cyberattacks against such critical infrastructures have caused enormous economic loss and social disorder. This paper is designed to examine comparatively the cyberterror related laws and organizations of the advanced countries such as U.S. and U.K. and to draw implications. Although those countries are under different institutional and cultural backgrounds with varying security envrionments, they are identically pursuing measures by establishing government-wide counterterror system for coordination and cooperation. They are also commonly focusing upon creating new organizations equipped with new system and upon enhancing intelligence performance and devising punishment regulations. Korea is lack of framework laws regulating cyber security, having only scattered individual laws. Since such legal base is far from efficient counterterror activities, it is necessary that the legal and policy response of the advanced countries should be closely studied for selective introduction. That will eventually lead to legislation of cyber security law. With such legislation on hand, it is subsequently required to strengthen crisis management for prevention of cyberterror and to create joint response team, cooperating with private organizations.

This Study aims to propose a new information security governance model design method for streamlining security governance at national strategic level. The research method of this study is to diagnose our operational experience and to derive a new model design method. In the meantime, national information security activities were perceived to be focused on knowledge transfer, and motivation of activities and securing of executive power were weak. As a result, security blind spots and frequent occurrence of large security incidents have become unresolved challenges. National cyber security governance should be grouped together as a whole systematically from the upper policy to the lower level of performance under the responsibility of the national leader. Based on this approach, this study presented the comprehensive framework of Korean security governance model and embodied it into four architectural designs such as vision, goal, process, and performance, thus deriving the foundation for future national governance model design. Further research is needed to diagnose problems in life cycle flow, security policies based on environmental changes, and new frameworks in which all subjects participate.

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.

It has become more difficult to correspond an cyber attack quickly as patterns of attack become various and complex. However, current security mechanisms just have passive defense functionalities. In this paper, we propose new network security architecture to respond various cyber attacks rapidly and to chase and isolate the attackers through cooperation between security zones. The proposed architecture makes it possible to deal effectively with cyber attacks such as IP spoofing or DDoS(Distributed Denial of Service), by using active packet technology including a mobile code on active network. Also, it is designed to have more active correspondent than that of existing mechanisms. We implemented these mechanisms in Linux routers and experimented on a testbed to verify realization possibility of attacker response framework using mobile code. The experimentation results are analyzed.
