Information security management systems (ISMSs) are used to manage information about their customers and themselves by governments or business organizations following advances in e-commerce, open networks, mobile networks, and Internet banking. This paper explains the existing ISMSs and presents a comparative analysis. The discussion deals with different types of ISMSs. We addressed issues within the existing ISMSs via analysis. Based on these analyses, then we proposes the development of an information security management evaluation system (ISMES). The method can be applied by a self-evaluation of the organization and an evaluation of the organization by the evaluation committee. The contribution of this study enables an organization to refer to and improve its information security levels. The case study can also provide a business organization with an easy method to build ISMS and the reduce cost of information security evaluation.

Growing information threats have threatened organization to lose information security controls in these days. Many organizations have accepted the various information security management systems does mention necessity of a continuous evaluation process for the executions of information security management in a theoretical aspect. This study suggests a continuous evaluation process for information security management reflecting the real execution of managers and employees in organizations.

Recently, as evaluation of information security (IS) management become more diverse and complicated, the contents and procedure of the evidence to prepare for actual assessment are rapidly increasing. As a result, the actual assessment is a burden for both evaluation agencies and institutions receiving assessments. However, most of them reflect the evaluation system used by foreign government agencies, standard organizations, and commercial companies. It is necessary to consider the evaluation system suitable for the domestic environment instead of reflecting the overseas evaluation system as it is. The purpose of this study is as follows. First, we will present the problems of the existing information security assessment system and the improvement direction of the information security assessment system through analysis of existing information security assessment system. Second, it analyzes the technical guidance for information security testing and assessment and the evaluation of information security management in the Special Publication 800-115 'Technical Guide to Information Security Testing and Assessment' of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Third, we will build a framework to implement the evidence collection system and present a system implementation method for the '6. Information System Security' of 'information security management actual condition evaluation index'. The implications of the framework development through this study are as follows. It can be expected that the security status of the enterprises will be improved by constructing the evidence collection system that can collect the collected evidence from the existing situation assessment. In addition, it is possible to systematically assess the actual status of information security through the establishment of the evidence collection system and to improve the efficiency of the evaluation. Therefore, the management system for evaluating the actual situation can reduce the work burden and improve the efficiency of evaluation.

The Enterprise Security Management system is a centralized control system based on predefined security policies by organizations. In Korea, there is a Common Criteria security certification according to the strict standards for various features. As the needs of information security product are increasing, the ESM system should be evaluated with quality characteristics. In this paper, we propose evaluation items for functionality and performance of Enterprise Security Management system, and the best practices for evaluation.

정보통신시스템에 대한 기술적 보안만으로는 안전한 정보통신시스템 운영을 보장할 수 없다. 따라서, 안전한 정보통신시스템 운영을 위한 정보보안관리시스템(ISMS)에 대한 연구와 표준화가 활발히 전개되고 있다 우리나라는 2005년 "국가사이버안전관리규정"을 제정하고, "국가사이버안전매뉴얼"의 "보안관리 기준"에 의하여 국가 공공기관이 자체적으로 "보안관리수준 평가"를 수행토록 함으로써 체계적인 정보보안관리 활동이 이루어지도록 하고 있다. 본 논문은 관련 표준들과 호주, 미국의 보안관리 체계에 대하여 조사하고, "보안관리수준 평가" 체계를 효율적인 보안관리 측면에서 분석하고, 이를 통하여 "보안관리수준 평가"의 개선방향에 대하여 연구하였다. 기존의 체계에 추가항목(A/C ; Additional Control), 선택적 보안관리 기준(Selective Controls)구성을 도입하고 평가 준비 절차의 개선을 통하여 각 기관에 최적화된 보안관리 기준을 작성할 수 있도록 함으로써, 기관에 적합한 효율적 보안관리의 수행이 가능하고, 급변하는 정보통신 환경에 유연하게 대응할 수 있도록 하였다.

As Cyber threats are rising, the scope of information Security (IS) is extending from technical protection of a single information system to organizational comprehensive IS capability. The ministry of National Defense (MND) has established the IS evaluation for defense organization in 'the Directive for Defense Informatization Affairs.' However, no information about an evaluation method, process and organization is provided. We surveyed information security management system (ISMS) and related best practices in public sector and other countries, and analysed the military information security affairs. Thus, this paper recommends the IS evaluation method and process. The trial IS evaluation is in progress this year and the MND will expand this IS evaluation to the entire organization.

최근 국내 기업에서 보안사고가 지속적으로 증가함에 따라 기업의 특성과 환경을 고려한 체계적인 보안관리체계의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 그러나 기업별 보안수준 측정의 대상, 목적, 방법 등이 다름에도 불구하고 현재 다수의 기업이 기존의 정보보호 관리체계인 K-ISMS를 단편 일률적으로 적용하고 있는 것이 실정이며, 이에 따른 보안관리체계 도입에 대한 실효성에 대해서도 많은 문제가 제기되어지고 있다. 본 논문에서 선행연구 분석을 통해 정보보호, 산업보안, 연구보안에 대한 개념을 정립하고, 정보보호 관리체계, 산업보안관리체계, 연구보안관리 체계의 통제항목을 비교 분석하여 산업 전반의 보안을 수행할 수 있는 보안수준 평가항목 개발하였다. 또한 세부적으로 기 존재하는 보안수준평가 모형을 분석하여, 산업의 특성을 고려한 산업 중심의 보안수준평가 모형 설계 방향성을 제시하였다.

The 129 public institutions in Korea are subject to Information Security Management Condition Evaluation (ISMCE) as a part of the government management evaluation system by the Ministry of Economy and Finance. ISMCE is started in 2006 with the central government institutions, and applied to the all public institutions in 2009. This evaluation is annually conducted by the National Intelligence Service through the site visits, and the number of the evaluated institutions is increasing year by year. However, the process of ISMCE - identifying existing vulnerabilities in the information system - is conducted manually. To improve this inconvenience, this paper introduces the various evaluation system in the major countries, especially in the United States, and analyzes the Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP) by NIST. SCAP is automation protocol for the system vulnerability management (in technical fields) and security policy compliance evaluation. Based on SCAP, this paper suggests an improvement plan for the ISMCE of Korea.

A diversity of wireless networks, with rapidly evolving wireless technology, are currently in service. Due to their innate physical layer vulnerability, wireless networks require enhanced security components. WLAN, WiBro, and UMTS have defined proper security components that meet standard security requirements. Extensive research has been conducted to enhance the security of individual wireless platforms, and we now have meaningful results at hand. However, with the advent of ubiquitous service, new horizontal platform service models with vertical crosslayer security are expected to be proposed. Research on synchronized security service and interoperability in a heterogeneous environment must be conducted. In heterogeneous environments, to design the balanced security components, quantitative evaluation model of security policy in wireless networks is required. To design appropriate evaluation method of security policies in heterogeneous wireless networks, we formalize the security properties in wireless networks. As the benefit of security protocols is indicated by the quality of protection (QoP), we improve the QoP model and evaluate hybrid security policy in heterogeneous wireless networks by applying to the QoP model. Deriving relative indicators from the positive impact of security points, and using these indicators to quantify a total reward function, this paper will help to assure the appropriate benchmark for combined security components in wireless networks.

보안평가 시스템은 다양한 요소로 구성된 대규모 네트워크 도메인 전체의 보안성을 평가하고 이를 바탕으로 보안 관리자 혹은 보안관리 시스템이 네트워크 보안관리를 수행하는데 필요한 의사결정을 지원하는 시스템이다. 이 시스템은 보안상 취약점들로 인한 공격을 방지하기 위해 어떻게 네트워크의 보안 관련 설정을 해주어야 하는지에 관한 의사결정을 지원해 준다. 보안평가 시스템은 네트워크의 “현재 상태”를 분석하고 공격 가능성을 찾아내어 불법적인 침해 행위를 사전에 예방하도록 보안관리의 의사결정을 지원해 준다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 요소로 구성된 대규모 네트워크의 보안성 평가를 자동화하고 침해사고 예방을 위해 보안관리의 의사결정을 도와주는 보안평가 시스템에 대한 요구 사항을 분석하고 이를 반영한 보안평가 시스템을 설계한다.
