In today's growing threat environment, rapid and effective detection and response to security events is essential. To solve these problems, many companies and organizations respond to security threats by introducing security control systems. However, existing security control systems are experiencing difficulties due to the complexity and diverse characteristics of security events. In this study, we propose an automated integrated security control system model based on artificial intelligence. It is based on deep learning, an artificial intelligence technology, and provides effective detection and processing functions for various security events. To this end, the model applies various artificial intelligence algorithms and machine learning methods to overcome the limitations of existing security control systems. The proposed model reduces the operator's workload, ensures efficient operation, and supports rapid response to security threats.

Unlike a general IT environment, an industrial control system is an environment where stability and continuity are more important than security. In the event of a security accident in the industrial control system, physical motion can be controlled, so physical damage can occur and physical damage can even result in personal injury. Cyber attacks on industrial control systems are not simply cyber damage, but terrorism. However, the security of industrial control systems has not been strengthened yet, and many vulnerabilities are actually occurring. This paper shows that the PLC can be remotely controlled by analyzing the connection process and packets for the PLC protocol used in the industrial control system and bypassing the security mechanism existing in the protocol. Through this, we intend to raise the security awareness of the industrial control system.

A secured building where only approved personnel can access is sometimes not secured because of the lack of recognition of security. Unapproved personnel enter and access freely to the internal system of the building, and this makes security risks. In order to deal with these problems, the existing entrance-control system had developed by using the RFID card certification and the infrared sensor to measure distance. However, it is difficult for the system to guarantee security due to the weakness of each method. Therefore, this study aimed at providing a new method of guaranteeing security by comparing the double entrance-control system and the existing entrance-control system.

The results from the analysis of recent security breach cases of industrial control systems revealed that most of them were caused by the employees of a partner company who had been managing the control system. For this reason, the majority of the current company security management systems have been developed focusing on their performances. Despite such effort, many hacking attempts against a major company, public institution or financial institution are still attempted by the partner company or outsourced employees. Thus, the institutions or organizations that manage Industrial Control Systems (ICSs) associated with major national infrastructures involving traffic, water resources, energy, etc. are putting emphasis on their security management as the role of those partners is increasingly becoming important as outsourcing security task has become a common practice. However, in reality, it is also a fact that this is the point where security is most vulnerable and various security management plans have been continuously studied and proposed. A system that enhances the security level of a partner company with a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) has been developed in this study through research on the past performances of partner companies stationed at various types of industrial control infrastructures and its performance outcomes were statistically compiled to propose an appropriate model for the current ICSs by comparing vulnerabilities, measures taken and their results before and after adopting the VDI.

Instrumentation and control systems in nuclear power plants have been digitalized for the purpose of maintenance and precise operation. This digitalization, however, brings out issues related to cyber security. In the most recent past, international standard organizations, regulatory institutes, and research institutes have performed a number of studies addressing these systems cyber security.. In order to provide information helpful to the system designers in their application of cyber security for the systems, this paper presents methods and considerations to define attack vectors in a target system, to review and select the requirements in the Regulatory Guide 5.71, and to integrate the results to identify applicable technical security control requirements. In this study, attack vectors are analyzed through the vulnerability analyses and penetration tests with a simplified safety system, and the elements of critical digital assets acting as attack vectors are identified. Among the security control requirements listed in Appendices B and C to Regulatory Guide 5.71, those that should be implemented into the systems are selected and classified in groups of technical security control requirements using the results of the attack vector analysis. For the attack vector elements of critical digital assets, all the technical security control requirements are evaluated to determine whether they are applicable and effective, and considerations in this evaluation are also discussed. The technical security control requirements in three important categories of access control, monitoring and logging, and encryption are derived and grouped according to the elements of attack vectors as results for the sample safety system.

The Industrial control system is adopted by various industry field and national infrastructure, therefore if it received cyber attack, the serious security problems can be occured in the public sector. For this reason, security requirements of the industrial control system have been proposed, in accordance with the security guidelines of the electronic control system, and it is operated by separate from the external and the internal network. Nevertheless, cyber attack by malware (such as Stuxnet) targeting to control system have been occurred continuously, and also the real-time detection of untrusted traffic is very difficult because there are some difficulty of keeping up with quickly evolving the advent of new-variant malicious codes. In this paper, we propose the traffic analysis architecture for providing secure industrial control system based on the analyzed the security threats, the security requirements, and our proposed architecture.

The applications of computers and communication system and network technologies in nuclear power plants have expanded recently. This application of digital technologies to the instrumentation and control systems of nuclear power plants brings with it the cyber security concerns similar to other critical infrastructures. Cyber security risk assessments for digital instrumentation and control systems have become more crucial in the development of new systems and in the operation of existing systems. Although the instrumentation and control systems of nuclear power plants are similar to industrial control systems, the former have specifications that differ from the latter in terms of architecture and function, in order to satisfy nuclear safety requirements, which need different methods for the application of cyber security risk assessment. In this paper, the characteristics of nuclear power plant instrumentation and control systems are described, and the considerations needed when conducting cyber security risk assessments in accordance with the lifecycle process of instrumentation and control systems are discussed. For cyber security risk assessments of instrumentation and control systems, the activities and considerations necessary for assessments during the system design phase or component design and equipment supply phase are presented in the following 6 steps: 1) System Identification and Cyber Security Modeling, 2) Asset and Impact Analysis, 3) Threat Analysis, 4) Vulnerability Analysis, 5) Security Control Design, and 6) Penetration test. The results from an application of the method to a digital reactor protection system are described.

This paper proposes security architecture, security audit framework, and audit check item. These are based on the security requirement that has been researched in the information system audit. The proposed information security architecture is built in a way that it could defend a cyber attack. According to its life cycle, it considers a security service and security control that is required by the information system. It is mapped in a way that it can control the security technology and security environment. As a result, an audit framework of the information system is presented based on the security requirement and security architecture. The standard checkpoints of security audit are of the highest level. It was applied to the system introduction for the next generation of D stock and D life insurance company. Also, it was applied to the human resources information system of K institution and was verified. Before applying to institutions, system developers and administrators were educated about their awareness about security so that they can follow guidelines of a developer security. As a result, the systemic security problems were decreased by more than eighty percent.

In the paper, we designed a context aware task-role based access control system(CAT-RACS) which can control access and prevent illegal access efficiently for various information systems in ubiquitous computing environment. CAT-RACS applied CA-TRBAC, which adds context-role concept for achieve policy composition by context information and security level attribute to be kept confidentiality of information. CA-TRBAC doesn't permit access when context isn't coincident with access control conditions, or role and task's security level aren't accord with object's security level or their level is a lower level, even if user's role and task are coincident with access control conditions. It provides security services of user authentication and access control, etc. by a context-aware security manager, and provides context-aware security services and manages context information needed in security policy configuration by a context information fusion manager. Also, it manages CA-TRBAC policy, user authentication policy, and security domain management policy by a security policy manager.

Current paradigm of industrial security is changing into the effective operation and management from simple establishment of security equipments. If the physical security system(entry control system, video security system, etc.) and the IT integrated security control system are conversed, it makes us possible to prevent, disrupt and track afterwards the insider's information leakage through the risk and security management of enterprise. That is, Without the additional expansion of the existing physical security and IT security manpower, the establishment of systematic conversion security management process in a short time is possible and can be expected the effective operation of professional organization system at all times. Now it is needed to build up integrated security management system as an individual technique including the security event collection and integrated management, the post connected tracking management in the case of security accident, the pattern definition and real time observation of information leakage and security violation, the rapid judgement and response/measure to the attempt of information leakage and security violation, the establishment of security policy by stages and systematically and conversion security.
