In this paper, the plans for improvement of real-time security monitoring accuracy and expansion of control region were investigated through comprehensive and systematic collection and analysis of the anomalous activities that inflow and outflow in the network on a large scale in order to overcome the existing security monitoring system based on stylized detection patterns which could correspond to only very limited cyber attacks. This study established an anomaly observation system to collect, store and analyze a diverse infringement threat information flowing into the darknet network, and presented the information classification system of cyber threats, unknown anomalies and high-risk anomalous activities through the statistics based trend analysis of hacking. If this security monitoring system utilizing darknet traffic as presented in the study is applied, it was indicated that detection of all infringement threats was increased by 12.6 percent compared with conventional case and 120 kinds of new type and varietal attacks that could not be detected in the past were detected.

With the rapid development of IT technology, integration with existing industries has led to an increase in smart manufacturing that simplifies processes and increases productivity based on 4th industrial revolution technology. Security threats are also increasing and there are. In the case of supply chain attacks, it is difficult to detect them in advance and the scale of the damage is extremely large, so they have emerged as next-generation security threats, and research into detection technology is necessary. Therefore, in this paper, we collect, store, analyze, and visualize logs in multiple environments in real time using ELK Stack and Sysmon, which are open source-based analysis solutions, to derive information such as abnormal behavior related to supply chain attacks, and efficiently We try to provide an effective detection method.

Military secrets or confidential data of any organization are extremely important assets. They must be discluded from outside. To do this, methods for detecting anomalous attacks and intrusions inside the network have been proposed. However, most anomaly-detection methods only cover aspects of intrusion from outside and do not deal with internal leakage of data, inflicting greater damage than intrusions and attacks from outside. In addition, applying conventional anomaly-detection methods to data exfiltration creates many problems, because the methods do not consider a number of variables or the internal network environment. In this paper, we describe issues considered in data exfiltration detection for anomaly detection (DEDfAD) to improve the accuracy of the methods, classify the methods as profile-based detection or machine learning-based detection, and analyze their advantages and disadvantages. We also suggest future research challenges through comparative analysis of the issues with classification of the detection methods.

Recently, there is significant increasing of massive attacks, which try to infect PCs that visit websites containing pre-implanted malicious code. When visiting the websites, these hidden malicious codes can gain monetary profit or can send various cyber attacks such as BOTNET for DDoS attacks, personal information theft and, etc. Also, this kind of malicious activities is continuously increasing, and their evasion techniques become professional and intellectual. So far, the current signature-based detection to detect websites, which contain malicious codes has a limitation to prevent internet users from being exposed to malicious codes. Since, it is impossible to detect with only blacklist when an attacker changes the string in the malicious codes proactively. In this paper, we propose a novel approach that can detect unknown malicious code, which is not well detected by a signature-based detection. Our method can detect new malicious codes even though the codes' signatures are not in the pattern database of Anti-Virus program. Moreover, our method can overcome various obfuscation techniques such as the frequent change of the included redirection URL in the malicious codes. Finally, we confirm that our proposed system shows better detection performance rather than MC-Finder, which adopts pattern matching, Google's crawling based malware site detection, and McAfee.

Recently, the leakage of confidential information and personal information is taking place on the Internet more frequently than ever before. Most of such online security incidents are caused by attacks on vulnerabilities in web applications developed carelessly. It is impossible to detect an attack on a web application with existing firewalls and intrusion detection systems. Besides, the signature-based detection has a limited capability in detecting new threats. Therefore, many researches concerning the method to detect attacks on web applications are employing anomaly-based detection methods that use the web traffic analysis. Much research about anomaly-based detection through the normal web traffic analysis focus on three problems - the method to accurately analyze given web traffic, system performance needed for inspecting application payload of the packet required to detect attack on application layer and the maintenance and costs of lots of network security devices newly installed. The UTM(Unified Threat Management) system, a suggested solution for the problem, had a goal of resolving all of security problems at a time, but is not being widely used due to its low efficiency and high costs. Besides, the web filter that performs one of the functions of the UTM system, can not adequately detect a variety of recent sophisticated attacks on web applications. In order to resolve such problems, studies are being carried out on the web application firewall to introduce a new network security system. As such studies focus on speeding up packet processing by depending on high-priced hardware, the costs to deploy a web application firewall are rising. In addition, the current anomaly-based detection technologies that do not take into account the characteristics of the web application is causing lots of false positives and false negatives. In order to reduce false positives and false negatives, this study suggested a realtime anomaly detection method based on the analysis of the length of parameter value contained in the web client's request. In addition, it designed and suggested a WAF(Web Application Firewall) that can be applied to a low-priced system or legacy system to process application data without the help of an exclusive hardware. Furthermore, it suggested a method to resolve sluggish performance attributed to copying packets into application area for application data processing, Consequently, this study provide to deploy an effective web application firewall at a low cost at the moment when the deployment of an additional security system was considered burdened due to lots of network security systems currently used.

JavaScript is a popular technique for activating static HTML. JavaScript has drawn more attention following the introduction of HTML5 Standard. In proportion to JavaScript's growing importance, attacks (ex. DDos, Information leak using its function) become more dangerous. Since these attacks do not create a trail, whether the JavaScript code is malicious or not must be decided. The real attack action is completed while the browser runs the JavaScript code. For these reasons, there is a need for a real-time classification and determination technique for malicious JavaScript. This paper proposes the Analysis Engine for detecting malicious JavaScript by adopting the requirements above. The analysis engine performs static analysis using signature-based detection and dynamic analysis using behavior-based detection. Static analysis can detect malicious JavaScript code, whereas dynamic analysis can detect the action of the JavaScript code.

Cyber-attacks targeting endpoints have developed sophisticatedly into targeted and intelligent attacks, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) targeting the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has increased accordingly. Machine learning-based Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions combine and complement rule-based conventional security tools to effectively defend against APT attacks are gaining attention. However, universal EDR solutions have a high false positive rate, and needs high-level analysts to monitor and analyze a tremendous amount of alerts. Therefore, the process of optimizing machine learning-based EDR solutions that consider the characteristics and vulnerabilities of IIoT environment is essential. In this study, we analyze the flow and impact of IIoT targeted APT cases and compare the method of machine learning-based APT detection EDR solutions.
