  • Threat intelligences collected from cyber incident sharing system and security events collected from Security Information & Event Management system are analyzed and coped with expanding malicious code rapidly with the advent of big data. Analytical classification of the threat intelligence in cyber incidents requires various features of cyber observable. Therefore it is necessary to improve classification accuracy of the similarity by using multi-profile which is classified as the same features of cyber observables. We propose a multi-profile ensemble model performed similarity analysis on cyber incident of threat intelligence based on both attack types and cyber observables that can enhance the accuracy of the classification. We see a potential improvement of the cyber incident analysis system, which enhance the accuracy of the classification. Implementation of our suggested technique in a computer network offers the ability to classify and detect similar cyber incident of those not detected by other mechanisms.

  • As regulatory bodies require full implementation of security controls in nuclear power plants (NPPs), security functions for critical digital assets are currently being developed. For the ultimate introduction of security controls, not alternative measures, it is important to understand the relationship between possible cyber threats to NPPs and security controls to prevent them. To address the effectiveness of the security control implementation, this study investigated the types of cyber threats that can be prevented when the security controls are implemented through the mapping of the reorganized security controls in RS-015 to cyber threats on NPPs. Through this work, the cyber threat that each security control can prevent was confirmed, and the effectiveness of several strategies for implementing the security controls were compared. This study will be a useful reference for utilities or researchers who cannot use design basis threat (DBT) directly and be helpful when introducing security controls to NPPs that do not have actual security functions.

  • Damage caused by ransomware has continued to increase since last year, but cyber operations are managed without any separate classification of ransomware types in the military's guidelines for carrying out cyber operations. However, unlike other malware, ransomware is a threat that could paralyze all defense operations in one moment, and the military should reevaluate ransomware and take countermeasures. Accordingly, this paper aims to analyze the assets, vulnerabilities, and threats related to defense information service based on information security risk management, and propose alternatives to ensure continuity of defense work from ransomware threats.

  • Cyber incident collected from cyber-threat-intelligence sharing Center is growing rapidly due to expanding malicious code. It is difficult for Incident analysts to extract and classify similar features due to Cyber Attacks. To solve these problems the existing Similarity Analysis Method is based on single or multiple cyber observable of similar incidents from Cyber Attacks data mining. This method reduce the workload for the analysis but still has a problem with enhancing the unreality caused by the provision of improper and ambiguous information. We propose a incident analysis model performed similarity analysis on the hierarchically classified cyber observable based on cyber incident that can enhance both availability by the provision of proper information. Appling specific cyber incident analysis model, we will develop a system which will actually perform and verify our suggested model.

  • Phishing website has become a crucial concern in cyber security applications. It is performed by fraudulently deceiving users with the aim of obtaining their sensitive information such as bank account information, credit card, username, and password. The threat has led to huge losses to online retailers, e-business platform, financial institutions, and to name but a few. One way to build anti-phishing detection mechanism is to construct classification algorithm based on machine learning techniques. The objective of this paper is to compare different classifier ensemble approaches, i.e. random forest, rotation forest, gradient boosted machine, and extreme gradient boosting against single classifiers, i.e. decision tree, classification and regression tree, and credal decision tree in the case of website phishing. Area under ROC curve (AUC) is employed as a performance metric, whilst statistical tests are used as baseline indicator of significance evaluation among classifiers. The paper contributes the existing literature on making a benchmark of classifier ensembles for web phishing detection.

  • Cyber threats of the ICS(Industrial Control System) has been researched on the level to the threat to the network service as well as a specific system, even if the extent of damage was not intended. Although some range of "security" just include the protection of systems against the deliberate attacks of terrorists or cyber hackers, often more damage is done by carelessness, and equipment failures than by those deliberate attacks. This paper presented a taxonomy for classifying all abnormal behaviors of ICS, including deliberate attacks, inadvertent mistakes, equipment failures, and software problems. The classification criteria of ICS abnormal behaviors was selected to highlight commonalities and important features of deliberate attacks as well as inadvertent actions.

  • Cyber Kill Chain is derived from Kill chain of traditional military terms. Kill chain means "a continuous and cyclical process from detection to destruction of military targets requiring destruction, or dividing it into several distinct actions." The kill chain has evolved the existing operational procedures to effectively deal with time-limited emergency targets that require immediate response due to changes in location and increased risk, such as nuclear weapons and missiles. It began with the military concept of incapacitating the attacker's intended purpose by preventing it from functioning at any one stage of the process of reaching it. Thus the basic concept of the cyber kill chain is that the attack performed by a cyber attacker consists of each stage, and the cyber attacker can achieve the attack goal only when each stage is successfully performed, and from a defense point of view, each stage is detailed. It is believed that if a response procedure is prepared and responded, the chain of attacks is broken, and the attack of the attacker can be neutralized or delayed. Also, from the point of view of an attack, if a specific response procedure is prepared at each stage, the chain of attacks can be successful and the target of the attack can be neutralized. The cyber command and control system is a system that is applied to both defense and attack, and should present defensive countermeasures and offensive countermeasures to neutralize the enemy's kill chain during defense, and each step-by-step procedure to neutralize the enemy when attacking. Therefore, thist paper proposed a cyber kill chain model from the perspective of defense and attack of the cyber command and control system, and also researched and presented the threat classification/analysis/prediction framework of the cyber command and control system from the defense aspect
