  • Recently, Cyber Physical System (CPS) is one of the core technologies for realizing Internet of Things (IoT). The CPS is a new paradigm that seeks to converge the physical and cyber worlds in which we live. However, the CPS suffers from certain CPS issues that could directly threaten our lives, while the CPS environment, including its various layers, is related to on-the-spot threats, making it necessary to study CPS security. Therefore, a survey-based in-depth understanding of the vulnerabilities, threats, and attacks is required of CPS security and privacy for IoT. In this paper, we analyze security issues, threats, and solutions for IoT-CPS, and evaluate the existing researches. The CPS raises a number challenges through current security markets and security issues. The study also addresses the CPS vulnerabilities and attacks and derives challenges. Finally, we recommend solutions for each system of CPS security threats, and discuss ways of resolving potential future issues.

  • Financial service industry has introduced and operated management systems such as information security management system (ISMS), personal information security management system, business continuity management system to protect and maintain suitably customer's financial information and financial service. This study started that it's desirable financial industry takes consideration of ISMS and it can be different types among various organizations taking consideration of culture, practical work, and guideline of information security. The study derives primary control areas of ISMS through analyzing non-conformity trends and control factors according to certification audit for finance-related organizations introduced international ISMS of ISO27001 which is well known and commonly applicable irrespective of areas in financial service industry. Through case analyses for five finance-related organizations operating ISMS, this study analyzed improvement effects of ISMS. It has a meaning as an initial research though it was difficulty in acquiring data for empirical study because of rare organizations maintaining certification in financial sector. As a result, number of non-confirmity from the first audit to three years' elapse was decreased every year. Physical and environmental security, communication and operations management, and access control having the highest frequency of non-conformity each presented 23%, 19%, and 17%, which reached 59% in total and they are derived into primary control areas. ISMS can fulfill technical, managerial, physical security issues, which have not been treated importantly in financial industry. In addition, this study presented that ISMS can be an effective management system applicable for financial service industry.

  • Chaos communication system can improve a system security due to characteristics of non-periodic, non-predictability, broadband signal and easy implementation. Also, chaos signal is sensitive to initial conditions of chaos map. By these reasons, security of chaos communication system is superior to digital communication system. BER performance of COOK modulation system is better than other chaos modulation systems, even if COOK modulation system uses an asynchronous receiver. However, security and safety of COOK modulated signal are worse than other chaos modulation systems, because information bits can be easily predicted from COOK modulated signal. In this paper, for security improvement of COOK modulated signal, we propose a novel Scrambling COOK modulation system by applying the scrambling method. Conventional COOK modulated signal can be predicted, because chaos signal is generated when data is only 1. However, proposed system cannot be predicted, because chaos signal is generated when data is 0 or 1. Therefore, security and safety of transmitted signal in scrambling COOK modulation system is superior to conventional COOK modulation system.

  • The control system is accomplishing very important role in our life currently as the national critical Infrastructure and large scale industry plant. We manage SCADA system to manage generally the control system interconnected with the information system. The operating system of SCADA is changing also to the well-known OS like Windows or UNIX for offer various convenience and facility to the user. We offered the reason why such change of the system makes so that it is exposed to cyber terror. In the traditional SCADA system is managed safely by an isolated network system physically. It is the trend to increase gradually though a cyber terror possibility is thinner on a control system than a information system but the cyber terror gives a nation or community wide damage influence of large scale if it happens. Therefore this paper presents a security safeguard plan about SCADA system and helps prepare systematic security strategy and enhance the security level implement.

  • The occurrence of cyber crime is on the rise every year, and the security control center, which should play a crucial role in monitoring and early response against the cyber attacks targeting various information systems, its importance has increased accordingly. Every endeavors to prevent cyber attacks is being attempted by information security personnel of government and financial sector's security control center, threat response Center, cyber terror response center, Cert Team, SOC(Security Operator Center) and else. The ordinary method to monitor cyber attacks consists of utilizing the security system or the network security device. It is anticipated, however, to be insufficient since this is simply one dimensional way of monitoring them based on signatures. There has been considerable improvement of the security control system and researchers also have conducted a number of studies on monitoring methods to prevent threats to security. In accordance with the environment changes from ESM to SIEM, the security control system is able to be provided with more input data as well as generate the correlation analysis which integrates the processed data, by extraction and parsing, into the potential scenarios of attack or threat. This article shows case studies how to detect the threat to security in effective ways, from the initial phase of the security control system to current SIEM circumstances. Furthermore, scenarios based security control systems rather than simple monitoring is introduced, and finally methods of producing the correlation analysis and its verification methods are presented. It is expected that this result contributes to the development of cyber attack monitoring system in other security centers.

  • The purpose of this study is to develop a framework for evaluating security levels in hospitals. We classify security indicators into administrative, technical and physical safeguards. The security evaluation model for hospital information systems was applied to three general hospitals. The analysis of the results showed a low security level in information systems. In particular, requirements for administrative and physical safeguards were very low. Hospitals need strict security policies more than other organizations because their information systems contain patients' highly confidential data. The evaluation model developed in this study can be used for guidelines and as a checklist for hospitals. The security evaluation in hospital informational systems needs to be an essential element of hospital evaluation.

  • The destruction and prejudice of major infrastructure such as energy, broadcast, communication and transportation could result in a threat to individual rights and liberties, as well as social and economic losses. If a traffic signal control facilities have been violated, the lives of the citizens discomfort as well as causing social disruption such as traffic accident. Because the control system is operating as a closed network and you think it is safe, the information protection system has not been built or security patches and anti-virus updates do not work properly. So, cyber attacks by security vulnerabilities are exposed. Therefore, there is a need to identify the characteristics of the system, and develop appropriate countermeasures in order to prevent cyber attacks and prejudices incidents. This paper examines the vulnerabilities of Intelligent Transport Systems and proposes the improvement of security vulnerabilities.
