  • Currently, the leakage of internal information has emerged as one of the most significant security concerns in enterprise computing environments. Especially, damage due to internal information leakage by insiders is more serious than that by outsiders because insiders have considerable knowledge of the system's identification and password (ID&P/W), the security system, and the main location of sensitive data. Therefore, many security companies are developing internal data leakage prevention techniques such as data leakage protection (DLP), digital right management (DRM), and system access control, etc. However, these techniques cannot effectively block the leakage of internal information by insiders who have a legitimate access authorization. The security system does not easily detect cases which a legitimate insider changes, deletes, and leaks data stored on the server. Therefore, we focused on the insider as the detection target to address this security weakness. In other words, we switched the detection target from objects (internal information) to subjects (insiders). We concentrated on biometrics signals change when an insider conducts abnormal behavior. When insiders attempt to leak internal information, they appear to display abnormal emotional conditions due to tension, agitation, and anxiety, etc. These conditions can be detected by the changes of biometrics signals such as pulse, temperature, and skin conductivity, etc. We carried out experiments in two ways in order to verify the effectiveness of the emotional recognition technology based on biometrics signals. We analyzed the possibility of internal information leakage detection using an emotional recognition technology based on biometrics signals through experiments.

  • The purpose of a data leakage prevention system is to protect corporate information assets. The system monitors the packet exchanges between internal systems and the Internet, filters packets according to the data security policy defined by each company, or discretionarily deletes important data included in packets in order to prevent leakage of corporate information. However, the problem arises that the system may monitor employees' personal information, thus allowing their privacy to be violated. Therefore, it is necessary to find not only a solution for detecting leakage of significant information, but also a way to minimize the leakage of internal users' personal information. In this paper, we propose two models for representing the level of personal information disclosure during data leakage detection. One model measures only the disclosure frequencies of keywords that are defined as personal data. These frequencies are used to indicate the privacy violation level. The other model represents the context of privacy violation using a private data matrix. Each row of the matrix represents the disclosure counts for personal data keywords in a given time period, and each column represents the disclosure count of a certain keyword during the entire observation interval. Using the suggested matrix model, we can represent an abstracted context of the privacy violation situation. Experiments on the privacy violation situation to demonstrate the usability of the suggested models are also presented.

  • One of important concerns in information security is to control information flow. It is whether to protect confidential information from being leaked, or to protect trusted information from being tainted. In this paper, we present Piosk (Physical blockage of Information flow Kiosk) that addresses both the problems practically. Piosk can forestall and prevent the leakage of information, and defend inner tangible assets against a variety of malwares as well. When a visitor who carries a re-writable portable storage device, must insert the device into Piosk installed next to the security gate. Then, Piosk scans the device at the very moment, and detects & repairs malicious codes that might be exist. After that, Piosk writes the contents (including sanitized ones) on a new read-only portable device such as a compact disk. By doing so, the leakage of internal information through both insiders and outsiders can be prevented physically. We have designed and prototyped Piosk. The experimental verification of the Piosk prototype implementation reveals that, Piosk can accurately detect every malware at the same detection level as Virus Total and effectively prevent the leakage of internal information. In addition, we compare Piosk with the state-of-the-art methods and describe the special advantages of Piosk over existing methods.

  • The organization shall minimize business risks associated with customer information leaks. Enhance information security activities through voluntary pre-check and must find a way to detect the personal information leakage caused by carelessness and neglect accident. Recently, many companies have introduced an information leakage prevention solution. However, there is a possibility of internal data leakage by the internal user who has permission to access the data. By this thread it is necessary to have the environment to analyze the habit and activity of the internal user. In this study, we use the SFI analytical technique that applies RFM model to evaluate the insider activity levels were carried out case studies is applied to the actual business.

  • The development of modern ICT and network technologies has made the business environment smart.and under such circumstances, a great deal of data is being generated, stored and used. The important information that becomes an energy source for corporate management creates economic profit and value and is also utilized as a basis for strong influence. Therefore, important information must ensure its availability and convenience while ensuring confidentiality and integrity, which is the basic objective of information protection. However, most companies are seeing more and more incidents of serious damage due to the leakage of important internal information. In this study, we deal with the Data Loss Prevention (DLP) technologies and solutions to prevent internal information leakage and establish stable data security and information protection management.

  • None of the recent cases of military secret leakages have leaked internal information using networks. This is because the Internet and the Intranet are physically separated, and has a difficult process when transmitting and receiving data through the Internet. Therefore, most of the leaked paths are to copy and hand over secrets, shoot and send them with a smartphone, or disclose after remembering them. So, the technology of blocking and detecting military secret leakages through the network is not effective. The purpose of this research is to propose a method to prevent information leakage by focusing on the insider behaviors, the subject of leakage, rather than the military secret. The first is a preventive measure to prevent the leakage behavior of military secrets, the second is to block suspicious access to the military secret data, and the last is to detect the leakage behavior by insiders.

  • This paper describes a low-voltage dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) focusing on subthreshold leakage reduction during self-refresh (sleep) mode. By sharing a power switch, multiple iterative circuits such as row and column decoders have a significantly reduced subthreshold leakage current. To reduce the leakage current of complex logic gates, dual channel length scheme and input vector control method are used. Because all node voltages during the standby mode are deterministic, zigzag super-cutoff CMOS is used, allowing to Preserve internal data. MTCMOS technique Is also used in the circuits having no need to preserve internal data. Sub-1.2-V 1-Gb mobile DDR DRAM employing all these low-power techniques was designed in a 60 nm CMOS technology and achieved over 77% reduction of overall leakage current during the self-refresh mode.

  • Recently internal information leakage in industries is severely increasing in spite of industry security policy. Thus, it is essential to prepare an information leakage prevention measure by industries. Most of the leaks result from the insiders, not from external attacks. In this paper, a real-time internal information leakage prevention system via both storage and network is implemented in order to protect confidential file leakage. In addition, a Hadoop-based user behavior analysis and statistics system is designed and implemented for storing and analyzing information log data in industries. The proposed system stores a large volume of data in HDFS and improves data processing capability using RHive, consequently helps the administrator recognize and prepare the confidential file leak trials. The implemented audit system would be contributed to reducing the damage caused by leakage of confidential files inside of the industries via both portable data media and networks.

  • As society has evolved to the knowledge and information society, the importance of internal information of the company has increased gradually. Especially in financial institutions which must maintain the trust of customers, the disclosure of inside information is a big problem beyond the a company's business information disclosure level to break down sales-based businesses because it contains personal or financial transaction information. Recently, since massive outflow of internal information are occurring in several enterprises, many companies including financial companies have been working a lot in order to prevent the leakage of customer information. This paper describes the internal information leakage incidents occurred in the finance companies, the PC security vulnerabilities exists despite the main security system and internal information leakage prevention and suggests countermeasures against increasing cyber infringement threats.

  • Recently, internal information leaks is increasing rapidly by internal employees and authorized outsourcing personnel. In this paper, we propose a method to integrate internal control systems like system access control system and Digital Rights Managements and so on through expansion model of SIEM(Security Information Event Management system). this model performs a analysis step of security event link type and validation process. It develops unit scenarios to react illegal acts for personal information processing system and acts to bypass the internal security system through 5W1H view. It has a feature that derives systematic integration scenarios by integrating unit scenarios. we integrated internal control systems like access control system and Digital Rights Managements and so on through expansion model of Security Information Event Management system to defend leakage of internal information and customer information. We compared existing defense system with the case of the expansion model construction. It shows that expanding SIEM was more effectively.
