  • Owing to the convergence of the communication network with the control system and public network, security threats, such as information leakage and falsification, have become possible through various routes. If we examine closely at the security type of the current control system, the operation of the security system focuses on the threats made from outside to inside, so the study on the detection system of the security threats conducted by insiders is inadequate. Thus, this study, based on "Spotting the Adversary with Windows Event Log Monitoring," published by the National Security Agency, found that event logs can be utilized for the detection and maneuver of threats conducted by insiders, by analyzing the validity of detecting insider threats to the control system with the list of important event logs.

  • This study expands the current body of research by exploring multiple scenarios of insufficient and excessive IT security investments caused by interdependent risks and the interplay between IT security investments and cyber insurance. A key finding is that organizations experiencing interdependent risks with different types of cyber attacks (i.e., targeted and untargeted attacks) use different strategies in making IT security investment decisions and in purchasing cyber insurance policies for their information security risk management than firms that are facing independent risks. The study further provides an economic rationale for employing insurance mechanisms as a risk management solution for information security.

  • To establish an effective security strategy, business enterprises need a security benchmarking tool. The strategy helps to lessen an impact and a damage in any threat. This study analyses many aspects of information security management and suggests a way to deal with security investments by considering important factors that affect security manager's decision. To address the different threats resulting from a major cause of accidents inside an enterprise, we investigate an approach that followed ISO17799. We unfold a criminology theory that has designated many measures against the threat as suggested by General Deterrence Theory. The study proposes a coherent model of the theory to improve the security measures especially in handling and protecting company assets and human lives as well.

  • The main purpose of the study is to analyze the current state of the organization's information security system in the context of COVID-19 on the basis of public-private partnership. The development of public-private interaction in information security is one of the priorities of the state policy of many estates. Among the priorities of public-private partnership in cybersecurity and information security, there is an expansion of interaction between government agencies and private scientific institutions, public associations and volunteer organizations, including in training, as well as increasing the digital literacy of citizens and the security culture in cyberspace. As a result of the study, the foundations of the organization's information security system in the context of COVID 19 were formed on the basis of public-private partnership.

  • Security is concerned with the protection of assets from threats, where threats are categorised as the potential for abuse of protected assets. All categories of threats should be considered, but in the domain of security greater attention is given to those threats that are related to malicious or other human activities ISO/IEC 15408 requires the TOE(Target of Evaluation) Security Environment section of a Protection Profile(PP) or Security Target(ST) to contain a list of threats about the TOE security environment or the intended usage of the TOE. This paper presents a specific physical threats should be considered in the smart card PP which developers of smart card PP must consider.

  • 최근 정보보안을 전공하는 대학생과 보안 업무를 담당하는 내부자가 사이버범죄의 유혹에 넘어가 범죄에 가담하는 사건이 잇따라 발생함에 따라 컴퓨터 및 보안전문가들의 직업윤리의식 부재가 심각하다는 지적이 나오고 있다. 본 논문에서는 정보보안을 전공하는 대학생들을 대상으로 보안윤리에 대한 인식과 교육 실태를 조사하여 분석하고, 인성과 자질을 갖춘 인재양성을 위한 보안윤리 교육 방안을 고찰하였다. 정보화 사회 기반이 확대될수록 직업윤리가 더욱 중요해지고 있는 시점에서 정보보안을 전공하는 대학생들의 보안윤리에 대한 인식과 교육, 그리고 정보보안 전문가의 일탈행위에 대한 인식 등 윤리성과 직업의식이 미흡한 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위한 방안으로 제안한 정보보안 전공 대학생들의 보안윤리를 제고하는 교육 방안을 통해 소명의식을 갖춘 보안전문가의 양성이 가능할 것으로 기대된다. 논문에서 제안한 보안윤리 교육체계에 따라 교육을 받은 그룹에서 보안윤리 의식이 현저하게 개선된 것으로 분석되었다.

  • 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.

  • Financial firms, especially large scaled firms such as KB bank, NH bank, Samsung Card, Hana SK Card, Hyundai Capital, Shinhan Card, etc. should be securely dealing with the personal financial information. Indeed, people have tended to believe that those big financial companies are relatively safer in terms of information security than typical small and medium sized firms in other industries. However, the recent incidents of personal information privacy invasion showed that this may not be true. Financial firms have increased the investment of information protection and security, and they are trying to prevent the information privacy invasion accidents by doing all the necessary efforts. This paper studies how effectively a financial firm will be able to avoid personal financial information privacy invasion that may be deliberately caused by internal staffs. Although there are several literatures relating to information security, to our knowledge, this is the first study to focus on the behavior of internal staffs. The big financial firms are doing variety of information security activities to protect personal information. This study is to confirm what types of such activities actually work well. The primary research model of this paper is based on Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) that describes the rational choice of human behavior. Also, a variety of activities to protect the personal information of financial firms, especially credit card companies with the most customer information, were modeled by the four-step process Security Action Cycle (SAC) that Straub and Welke (1998) claimed. Through this proposed conceptual research model, we study whether information security activities of each step could suppress personal information abuse. Also, by measuring the morality of internal staffs, we checked whether the act of information privacy invasion caused by internal staff is in fact a serious criminal behavior or just a kind of unethical behavior. In addition, we also checked whether there was the cognition difference of the moral level between internal staffs and the customers. Research subjects were customer call center operators in one of the big credit card company. We have used multiple regression analysis. Our results showed that the punishment of the remedy activities, among the firm's information security activities, had the most obvious effects of preventing the information abuse (or privacy invasion) by internal staff. Somewhat effective tools were the prevention activities that limited the physical accessibility of non-authorities to the system of customers' personal information database. Some examples of the prevention activities are to make the procedure of access rights complex and to enhance security instrument. We also found that 'the unnecessary information searches out of work' as the behavior of information abuse occurred frequently by internal staffs. They perceived these behaviors somewhat minor criminal or just unethical action rather than a serious criminal behavior. Also, there existed the big cognition difference of the moral level between internal staffs and the public (customers). Based on the findings of our research, we should expect that this paper help practically to prevent privacy invasion and to protect personal information properly by raising the effectiveness of information security activities of finance firms. Also, we expect that our suggestions can be utilized to effectively improve personnel management and to cope with internal security threats in the overall information security management system.
