This research defines the degree of the threat caused by the leakage of personal information in a quantitative way. The proposed definition classifies the individual items in a personal data, then assigns a risk value to each item. The proposed method considers the increase of the risk by the composition of the multiple items. We also deals with various attack scenarios, where the attackers seek different types of personal information. The concept of entropy applies to associate the degree of the personal information exposed with the total risk value. In our experiment, we measured the risk value of the Facebook users with their public profiles. The result of the experiment demonstrates that they are most vulnerable against stalker attacks among four possible attacks with the personal information.

One of the hottest issues of security is information leakage of financial institution. Financial institutions including commercial banks are frequently threatened by attempts of leakage through hacking and vulnerability, and this information is centered on personal information of their clients. Through this study, I found out that security managers of financial institutions are trying to prevent the leaking of private information, but in fact most of them barely know where their personal information is. Even if they know where it is and trace the data, it is often found in unexpected places. Because there is a lot of waste in time and human resources as search is done manually, we have understood that responding to IT Compliance requires a lot of effort. This study is to improve IT Compliance response and protect information leakage through monitoring PC and servers, the main storage of personal information by automated system, periodically.

Recently, network forensic research which analyzes intrusion-related information for tracing of attackers, has been becoming more popular than disk forensic which analyzes remaining evidences in a system. Analysis and correlation of logs from firewall, IDS(Intrusion Detect System) and web server are important part in network forensic procedures. This work suggests integrated graphical user interface of network forensic for private information leakage detection. This paper shows the necessity of various log information for network forensic and a design of graphical user interface for security managers who need to monitor the leakage of private information.

After realizing through the three large-scale data leakage incidents that intentional or accidental insider jobs are more serious than external intrusions, financial companies in Korea have been taking measures to prevent data leakage from occuring again. But, the IT system architecture reflecting the domestic financial environment is highly complicated and thereby difficult to grasp. It is obvious that despite administrative, physical, and technical controls, insider threats are likely to cause personal data leakage. In this paper, we present a process that based on metadata defines and manages personally identifiable attribute data, and that through inter-table integration identifies personal information broadly and controls access. This process is to decrease the likelihood of violating compliance outlined by the financial supervisory authority, and to reinforce internal controls. We derive and verify a decision-making model that reflects the proposed process.

The rapid development of mobile technology has increased the use of mobile devices, and the possibility of security incidents is also increasing. The leakage of information through photos is the most representative. Previous methods for preventing this are disadvantageous in that they can not take pictures for other purposes. In this paper, we design and implement a system to prevent information leakage through photos using object recognition and beacon. The system inspects pictures through object recognition based on deep learning and verifies whether security policies are violated. In addition, the location of the mobile device is identified through the beacon and the appropriate rules are applied. Web applications for administrator allow you to set rules for taking photos by location. As soon as a user takes a photo, they apply appropriate rules to the location to automatically detect photos that do not conform to security policies.

The illegal leakage of enterprise digital confidential information will threaten the enterprise with bankruptcy. Today since most small-and-medium companies have no capability to fight against illegally compromising their critically confidential documents in spite of knowing the leakage of them, strongly safe distribution system of the digital confidential documents should be designed so in secure as to prevent any malicious intent of embezzlement from accessing the critical information. Current DRM-based protection system is not always perfect to protect the digital secrets, even seems to leave the secrets open. Therefore our study has analyzed the illegal leakage paths that hackers attack against and the vulnerability of the current protection systems. As result, we study the group communication based system architecture satisfying the security conditions to make even legitimate working employee keep out of the confidential documents, without performance degradation. The main idea of this architecture is to stay every secrets in encrypted form; to isolate the encrypted documents from the crypto-key; to associate every entity with one activity and to authenticate every entity with DSA-based public key system; multiple authentication method make hackers too busy to get a privilege to access the secrets with too many puzzle pieces. This paper deal with the basic architectural structure for the above issues.

According to recent statistics published by the National Industrial Security Center, former and current employees are responsible for 80.4% of companies' technology leakages, and employees of cooperative firms are responsible for another 9.6%. This means that 90% of technology leakages are intentionally or mistakenly caused by insiders. In a recent incident, a credit card company leaked private information, and the person responsible was an employee of a cooperative firm. These types of incidents have an adverse effect not only on a company's assets but also on its reputation. Therefore, most institutions implement various security solutions to prevent information from being leaked. However, security solutions are difficult to analyze and distinguish from one another because their logs are independently operated and managed. A large number of logs are created from various security solutions. This thesis investigates how to prevent internal data leakage by setting up individual scenarios for each security solution, analyzing each scenario's logs, and applying a monitoring system to each scenario.

Recently industry is suffering severe losses of important internal information, and most of the leaks result from the insiders. Thus, various technological counter measures are being studied in order to protect private organization information. In this paper, among various internal information leakage path protection mechanisms, we propose a technique for preventing files which are defined as confidential from being copied or moved through USB. The implemented confidential file loss prevention system is composed of both signature insert manager and confidential file detect manager. The signature insert manager allows a system administrator to insert a special pattern specifying a classified confidential file, while the confidential file detect manager protects confidential file leakage when a user attempts to move or copy a confidential file to the USB memory. This results would be contributed to reducing the damage caused by leakage of confidential files outside of the company via USB.

In recent years, major security data such as research data and confidential documents have been leaked to the outside due to the carelessness of the companies and research institutes performing IT related services such as information technology projects and research and development of financial institutions, companies and public institutions is. Leakage cases are caused by leakage of personal information due to lack of security management of information system maintenance companies, such as unauthorized leakage or storage of related materials in outsourcing service process. In this paper, we analyzed the types and management status of service business through the environmental survey of corporate informatization business and analyzed the problems in development and maintenance using external service companies. Furthermore, in this paper, we provide an information system service that focuses on the business activities based on the items considered, and at the same time, it provides the informatization service for companies that can prevent infiltration of viruses and hacking from the outside. This paper presents a methodology for enhancing security for the system construction.
