In the current technological society, where various technologies are converged into one and being transformed into new technologies, new cyber attacks are being made just as they keep pace with the changes in society. In particular, due to the convergence of various attacks into one, it is difficult to protect the system with only the existing security system. A lot of information is being generated to respond to such cyber attacks. However, recklessly generated vulnerability information can induce confusion by providing unnecessary information to administrators. Therefore, this paper proposes a mechanism to assist in the analysis of emerging cyberattack convergence technologies by providing differentiated vulnerability information to managers by learning documents using deep learning-based language learning models, extracting vulnerability information and classifying them according to the MITRE ATT&CK framework.

The purpose of this study is to analyze cyber security risk modeling of critical infrastructure, draw out limitations and improvement measures. This paper analyzed cyber security risk modeling of national critical infrastructure like as electricity sector, nuclear power plant, SCADA. This paper analyzed the 26 precedent research cases of risk modeling in electricity sector, nuclear power plant, SCADA. The latest Critical Infrastructure is digitalized and has a windows operating system. Critical Infrastructure should be operated at all times, it is not possible to patch a vulnerability even though find vulnerability. This paper suggest the advanced cyber security modeling characteristic during the life cycle of the critical infrastructure and can be prevented.

Cyber attacks can be caused by all equipment that perform communication functions, and the link between ship and land due to the development of communication technology means that the ship sector as well as the land sector can be easily exposed to cyber threat vulnerability. In this paper, we analyze cyber threat trend changes to identify cyber security vulnerabilities in the maritime sector and propose measures to enhance cyber security through other industry case studies.

비트코인은 각국의 중앙은행이 화폐 발행을 독점하고 자의적인 통화 정책을 펴는 것에 대한 반발로 만들어진 암호화 된 디지털 화폐이며, 2008년 10월에 처음 등장하였다. 새로운 전자화폐로 성장한 비트코인은 현재 여러 나라에서 서비스되고 있으나 보안상의 취약점들이 발견되면서 이를 보완해야 할 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 비트코인의 특징과 서비스현황을 알아보고 비트코인의 취약점 중 지나친 익명성, 이기적인 채굴 그리고 51% Attack의 취약점들을 대상으로 분석하고, 대응 방안에 대한 한계를 제시한다.

Satellite based communication is networks in which users in a wide area can access without wired-based ground infrastructure. In particular, the need is emerging due to the recent Ukraine-Russia war. Satellite network systems acquire data that is difficult to observe on Earth as well as communication networks and are also used for research and development, which allows additional data to be produced. However, due to the nature of communication networks existing in outer space, certain vulnerabilities are revealed, and attacks based on them can be exposed. In this paper, we analyze vulnerabilities that may arise due to the nature of satellite communication networks and describes current research, countermeasures, and future research directions.

Common web services have been continuously targeted by hackers due to an access control policy that must be allowed to an unspecified number of people. In order to cope with this situation, companies regularly check web vulnerabilities and take measures according to the risk of discovered vulnerabilities. The risk of these web vulnerabilities is calculated through preliminary statistics and self-evaluation of domestic and foreign related organizations. However, unlike static diagnosis such as security setting and source code, web vulnerability check is performed through dynamic diagnosis. Even with the same vulnerability item, various attack results can be derived, and the degree of risk may vary depending on the subject of diagnosis and the environment. In this respect, the predefined risk level may be different from that of the actual vulnerability. In this paper, to improve this point, we present a web vulnerability risk assessment model based on the attack result centering on the cyber kill chain.

With the development of new ICT technology, smart keys for vehicles are terminals with ICT technology. Therefore, when the vehicle and the smart key communicate with RF, a cyber hacking attack is possible. Cyber-attacks on smart keys can pose a threat to vehicle theft and vehicle control. Therefore, it is necessary to study hacking attacks and vulnerabilities of smart keys for autonomous vehicles. In this paper, we analyze the cyber attack case of RF communication for vehicles and smart keys. In addition, a real RF cyber attack on the smart key is performed, and the vulnerability of radio wave replication in the same frequency band is found. In this paper, we analyze the vulnerability of RF communication between vehicles and smart keys, and propose a countermeasure against cyber security. In the future, plans to strengthen cyber attacks and security through the popularization of autonomous vehicles will become basic data to protect human and vehicle safety.

Nuclear power plants(NPPs) are protected as core facilities managed by major countries. Applying general IT technology to facilities of NPPs, the proportion of utilizing the digitized resources for the rest of the assets except for the existing installed analog type operating resources is increasing. Using the network to control the IT assets of NPPs can provide significant benefits, but the potential vulnerability of existing IT resources can lead to significant cyber security breaches that threaten the entire NPPs. In this paper, we analyze the nuclear cyber security vulnerability regulatory requirements, characteristics of existing vulnerability scanners and their requirements and investigate commercial and free vulnerability scanners. Based on the proposed application method, we can improve the efficiency of checking the network security vulnerability of NPPs when applying vulnerability scanner to NPPs.

The web space where web applications run is the cyber information warfare of attackers and defenders due to the open HTML. In the cyber attack space, about 84% of worldwide attacks exploit vulnerabilities in web applications and software. It is very difficult to detect web vulnerability attacks with security products such as web firewalls, and high labor costs are required for security verification and assurance of web applications. Therefore, rapid vulnerability detection and response in web space by automated software is a key and effective cyber attack defense strategy. In this paper, we establish a security risk management model by intensively analyzing security threats against web applications and software, and propose a method to effectively diagnose web and application vulnerabilities. The testing results on the commercial service are analyzed to prove that our approach is more effective than the other existing methods.

The recent "Log4j Security Vulnerability Incident" has occurred, and the information system that uses the open source "Log4J" has been exposed to vulnerabilities. The incident brought great vulnerabilities in the information systems of South Korea's major government agencies or companies and global information systems, causing problems with open source vulnerabilities. Despite the advantages of many advantages, the current development paradigm, which is developed using open source, can easily spread software security vulnerabilities, ensuring open source safety and reliability. You need to check the open source. However, open source vulnerability scan tools have various languages and functions. Therefore, the existing software evaluation criteria are ambiguous and it is difficult to evaluate advantages and weaknesses, so this paper has developed a new evaluation criteria for the vulnerability analysis tools of open source
