With the development of information and communication technologies like internet, the environment where people are able to access internet at any time and at any place has been established. As a result, cyber threats have been tried through various routes. Of cyber threats, DDoS is on the constant rise. For DDoS prediction modeling, this study drew a DDoS security index prediction formula on the basis of event data by using a statistical technique, and quantified the drawn security index. It is expected that by using the proposed security index and coming up with a countermeasure against DDoS threats, it is possible to minimize damage and thereby the prediction model will become objective and efficient.

Software defined networking technology allows centralized and powerful network control by separating packet processing and network control. However, powerfulness of software-defined networking technology threats the network itself. Most security researches of software-defined networking focus on discovering and defending network vulnerabilities. But, there is not much security for this technology itself. In this paper, the security vulnerabilities that can occur in this networking technology are analyzed and the security requirements of it are proposed. The biggest threats are the threats to the controller, the reliability problem between the controller and the switch must be solved, and a technique to detect attacks that malfunction by manipulating configuration information are needed.

A Protection Profile(PP) is a common security and assurance requirements for a specific class of Information Technology security products such as firewall and smart card. A PP should be included "TOE(Target of Evaluation) Security Environment", which is consisted of subsections: assumptions, treat, organizational security policies. This paper presents a new threats statement generation method for developing TOE security environment section of PP. Our survey guides the statement of threats in CC(Common Criteria) scheme through collected and analysed hundred of threat statements from certified and published real PPs and CC Tool Box/PKB that is included a class of pre-defined threat and attack statements. From the result of the survey, we present a new asset classification method and propose a threats statement generation model. The former is a new asset classification method, and the later is a production rule for a well formed statement of threats.

With the development of computer systems, there has been a sharp increase in the threats on these systems including attacks by malicious programs such as virus, vandal, etc. Currently virus vaccines are widely used to thwart these threats, but they have many weaknesses. They cannot guard against unknown threats and sometimes, they also cannot detect the existence of malicious programs before these malicious programs make any destructive results. For lack of an efficient security model, the existing security programs have the problem that they raise many false-positive alarms in spite of normal action. So it becomes very important to develop the improved security program that can make up for the weakness of the existing computer security program and can detect many threats of malicious programs as early as possible. In this paper we describe the design of an improved security model and the implementation of a security program that can filter and handle the threats on computer systems at the kernel level in real time.

With the convergence of communications network between control system and public network, such threats like information leakage/falsification could be fully shown in control system through diverse routes. Due to the recent diversification of security issues and violation cases of new attack techniques, the security system based on the information database that simply blocks and identifies, is not good enough to cope with the new types of threat. The current control system operates its security system focusing on the outside threats to the inside, and it is insufficient to detect the security threats by insiders with　the authority of security access. Thus, this study conducted the importance analysis based on the main event log list of "Spotting the Adversary with Windows Event Log Monitoring" announced by NSA. In the results, the matter of importance of event log for the detection of insider threats to control system was understood, and the results of this study could be contributing to researches in this area.

Major countries are trying to expand the construction of smart factories by introducing ICT such as the Internet of Things, cloud, and big data into the manufacturing sector to secure national-level manufacturing competitiveness in the era of the 4th industrial revolution. In addition, Germany is pushing for Industry 4.0 to build a fully automatic production system through the Internet of Things, and China is pushing for the expansion of smart factories to enhance the country's industrial competitiveness through Made in China 2025, Japan's intelligent manufacturing system, and the Korean government's manufacturing innovation 3.0. In this study, considering the increasing security connectivity of smart factories, we would like to identify security threats in the external connection part of smart factories and suggest security enhancement measures based on domestic and international standard security models to respond to the identified security threats. Eventually the proposed method can be applied by accurately identifying the smart factory security status, diagnosing vulnerabilities, establishing appropriate improvement plans, and expanding security strategies to respond to security threats.

The continuous evolution and proliferation of computer technology and our increasing dependence on computer technology have created a new class of threats: "cyber threats." These threats can be defined as activities that can undermine a society's ability to maintain internal or external order while using information technology. Cyber threats can be mainly divided into two categories, namely cyber-terrorism and cyber-warfare. A variety of malware programs are often used as a primary weapon in these cyber threats. A significant amount of research work has been published covering different aspects of cyber threats, their countermeasures, and the policy-making for cyber laws. This article aims to review the research conducted in various important aspects of cyber threats and provides synthesized information regarding the fundamentals of cyber threats; discusses the countermeasures for such threats; provides relevant details of high-profile cyber-attacks; discusses the developments in global policy-making for cyber laws, and lastly presents promising future directions in this area.
