Cloud networks are used to provide various services. As services are increasingly deployed using cloud networks, there are a number of resources in the cloud that leverage a variety of environments and protocols. However, there is a security intrusion on these resources, and research on cloud network vulnerability detection is required as threats to cloud resources emerge. In this paper, we propose a vulnerability detection scheme using STRIDE and HARM for vulnerability detection of resources utilizing various environments and protocols, and present cloud network vulnerability detection scheme through vulnerability detection scenario composition.

There are various cyber attacks on business PCs. In order to reduce the threat of PC security, we are preventing the vulnerability from being diagnosed beforehand. However, this guideline is difficult to cope with because the domestic vulnerability guide does not update the diagnostic items. In this paper, we examine the cyber infringement cases of PCs and the diagnostic items of foreign technical vulnerabilities in order to cope with security threats. In addition, an improved guide is provided by comparing the differences in the diagnostic items of technical vulnerability from abroad and domestic. Through 41 proposed technical vulnerability improvement items, it was found that various security threats can be coped with. Currently, it is mainly able to respond to only known vulnerabilities, but we hope that applying this guideline will reduce unknown security threats.

The importance of information security has been increasingly emphasized at the national, organizational, and individual levels due to the widespread adoption of software applications. High-safety software, which includes embedded software, should run without errors, similar to software used in the airline and nuclear energy sectors. Software development techniques in the above sectors are now being used to improve software security in other fields. Secure coding, in particular, is a concept encompassing defensive programming and is capable of improving software security. In this paper, we propose a software security vulnerability detection method using an improved coding standard searching technique. Public static analysis tools were used to assess software security and to classify the commands that induce vulnerability. Software security can be enhanced by detecting Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and patterns that can induce vulnerability.

In this paper, we evaluated web security vulnerability and privacy information management of hospital web sites which are registered at the Korea Hospital Association. Vulnerability Scanner (WVS) based on the OWASP Top 10 was used to evaluate the web security vulnerability of the web sites. And to evaluate the privacy information management, we used ten rules which were based on guidelines for protecting privacy information on web sites. From the results of the evaluation, we discovered tertiary hospitals had relatively excellent web security compared to other type of hospitals. But all the hospital types had not only high level vulnerabilities but also the other level of vulnerabilities. Additionally, 97% of the hospital web sites had a certain level of vulnerability, so a security inspection is needed to secure the web sites. We discovered a few SQL Injection and XSS vulnerabilities in the web sites of tertiary hospitals. However, these are very critical vulnerabilities, so all hospital types have to be inspected to protect their web sites against attacks from hacker. On the other hand, the inspection results of the tertiary hospitals for privacy information management had a better compliance rate than that of the other hospital types.

The importance of the risk analysis tool has been recognized and its use also has been emphasized by a number of researchers recently The methodology were examined but neither algorithms nor practical applications have been implemented or practiced in Korea. In this paper, the architecture of the Buddy System, one of the automated risk assessment tools. is analyzed in depth to provide the algorithmic understanding and to promote the development of the risk analysis methodology. The Buddy System mainly uses three main factors of vulnerability, threat and countermeasures as a nucleus of the qualatative analysis with the modified loss expectancy value. These factors are identified and assessed by the separation of duties between the end user and security analyst. The Buddy System uses five axioms as its bases of assessment algorithm and the assessed vulnerability level is strictly within these axioms. Since the In-place countermeasures reduce the vulnerability level up to a certain level. the security analyst may use "what if " model to examine the impact of additional countermeasures by proposing each to reduce the vulnerability level further to within the acceptable range. The emphasis on the qualitative approach on vulnerability leveling is very well balanced with the quantitative analysis that the system performance is prominent.prominent.

This paper introduces a possibility for attackers to acquire the keyboard scan codes through using the RESEND command provided by the keyboard hardware itself, based on the PS/2 interface that is a dominant interface for input devices. Accordingly, a keyboard sniffing program using the introduced vulnerability is implemented to prove the severeness of the vulnerability, which shows that user passwords can be easily exposed. As one of the intrinsic vulnerabilities found on the existing platforms, for which there were little considerations on the security problems when they were designed, it is required to consider a hardware approach to countermeasure the introduced vulnerability.

The use of open source has the advantage that the development environment is convenient and maintenance is easier, but there is a limitation in that it is easy to be exposed to vulnerabilities from a security point of view. In this regard, the LOG4J vulnerability, which is an open source logging library widely used in Apache, was recently discovered. Currently, the risk of this vulnerability is at the 'highest' level, and developers are using it in many systems without being aware of such a problem, so there is a risk that hacking accidents due to the LOG4J vulnerability will continue to occur in the future. In this paper, we analyze the LOG4J vulnerability in detail and propose a SNORT detection policy technology that can detect vulnerabilities more quickly and accurately in the security control system. Through this, it is expected that in the future, security-related beginners, security officers, and companies will be able to efficiently monitor and respond quickly and proactively in preparation for the LOG4J vulnerability.

When, Software is developed, Applying development methods considering security, it is generated the problem of additional cost. These additional costs are caused not consider security in many developing organization. Even though, proceeding the developments, considering security, lack of ways to get the cost of handling the vulnerability throughput within the given cost. In this paper, propose a method for calculating the vulnerability throughput for using a security vulnerability processed cost-effectively. In the proposed method focuses on the implementation phase of the software development phase, leveraging static analysis tools to find security vulnerabilities in CWE TOP25. The found vulnerabilities are define risk, transaction costs, risk costs and defines the processing priority. utilizing the information in the CWE, Calculating a consumed cost in a detected vulnerability processed through a defined priority, and controls the vulnerability throughput in the input cost. When applying the method, it is expected to handle the maximum risk of vulnerability in the input cost.

The necessity of establishing a more secure cyber security system is emerging to protect NPP against cyber attacks as nuclear facilities become increasingly reliant on digital system. Proper security measures should be established through periodic analysis and evaluation of vulnerabilities. However, as Nuclear facilities has safety characteristics as their top priority and it requires a lot of time and cost to construct regarding the activities for vulnerability analysis, it is difficult to apply the existing vulnerability analysis environment and analysis tools. In this study, We propose a analytical vulnerability assessment method to overcome the limitations of existing vulnerability analysis methods through analysis the existing vulnerability analysis methods and the issues to be considered when applying the vulnerability analysis method.

Web application security problems are addressed by the web vulnerability analysis which in turn supports companies to understand those problems and to establish their own solutions. Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning (MSIP) has released its guidelines for analysis and assessment of the web vulnerability. Although it is possible to distinguish vulnerability items in a manner suggested in the MSIP's guidelines, MSIP's factors and criteria proposed in the guidelines are neither sufficient nor efficient in analyzing specific vulnerability entries' risks. This study discusses analysis of the domestic and international Vulnerability Scoring system and proposes an appropriate evaluating method for web vulnerability analysis.
