  • In the ICT (Information and Communication Technology) convergence security environment, a lot of companies use an external public web system for the external disclosure and sharing of product information, manufacturing technology, service manualsand marketing materials. In this way, the web system disclosed on the Internet is an important aspect of cyber security management and has an always-on vulnerability requiringan information protection solution and IT vulnerability checks. However, there are limits to vulnerability detection management in anexternal environment. In this study, in order to solvethese problems, we constructed a system based on digital forensics and conducted an empirical study on the detection of important information in enterprises by using forensic techniques. It was found thatdue to the vulnerability of web systems operated in Korea and overseas, important information could be revealed,such as the companies' confidential data and security management improvements. In conclusion, if a system using digital forensic techniques is applied in response to theincreasing number of hacking incidents, the security management of vulnerable areas will be strengthened and the cyber security management system will be improved.

  • These days a lot of cyber attacks are exploiting the vulnerabilities of S/W. According to the trend of vulnerabilities is announced periodically, security directions are suggested and security controls are updated with this trend. Nevertheless, cyber attacks like hacking during the year 2011 are increased by 81% compared to 2010. About 75% of these cyber attacks are exploiting the vulnerabilities of S/W itself. In this paper, we have suggested a VIR model, which is a spread model of malware infection for measuring economic loss by S/W vulnerability, by applying the SIR model which is a epidemic model. It is applied to estimate economic loss by HWP(Hangul word) S/W vulnerabilities.

  • The purpose of this study is to find out quantitative vulnerability assessment about COTS(Commercial Off The Shelf) O/S based I&C System. This paper analyzed vulnerability's lifecycle and it's impact. this paper is to develop a quantitative assessment of overall cyber security risks and vulnerabilities I&C System by studying the vulnerability analysis and prediction method. The probabilistic vulnerability assessment method proposed in this study suggests a modeling method that enables setting priority of patches, threshold setting of vulnerable size, and attack path in a commercial OS-based measurement control system that is difficult to patch an immediate vulnerability.

  • SSE-CMM for security engineering, engineering, assurance, risk is divided into three elements of the process maturity assessment model and the level of information security presented. Maturity measurement of privacy, vulnerability diagnosis and risk analysis methodologies is used in practical field for present a comprehensive conclusion. The common cyber services are internet banking, mobile banking, telephone banking and the like. Transaction structure, a kind of cyber-banking system, information security maturity of the existing measurement methodologies for research purposes, vulnerability diagnosis and risk analysis methodologies to be used in practical field present a comprehensive conclusion. To ensure safety and convenience for the user, convenient to deal with cyber environment is the key to the activation of cyber trading. Particularly by measuring the maturity of cyber banking system to ensure the safety of the practice field much effects are expected as a result.

  • Recent trends for cyber threat such as worm and virus exploit vulnerabilities inherent to main information communication infrastructures like the internet to achieve economical and political goals. It needs to develop checking programs for new vulnerabilities published in prompt and apply them to vulnerable systems for the defense of those cyber threats. In this paper, we study of methodologies for new vulnerability checking module development proper to user level. First, we analyze current 7 methodologies for the development of new vulnerability checking modules including GFI LANGuard and Nessus and then compare them. Second, We define and propose the 5 unique methodologies for the development of new vulnerability checking modules in depth. Finally, we induct the best methodology proper to a certain user level by assessing each methodology according to conditions which is set virtually.

  • There are various cyber attacks on business PCs. In order to reduce the threat of PC security, we are preventing the vulnerability from being diagnosed beforehand. However, this guideline is difficult to cope with because the domestic vulnerability guide does not update the diagnostic items. In this paper, we examine the cyber infringement cases of PCs and the diagnostic items of foreign technical vulnerabilities in order to cope with security threats. In addition, an improved guide is provided by comparing the differences in the diagnostic items of technical vulnerability from abroad and domestic. Through 41 proposed technical vulnerability improvement items, it was found that various security threats can be coped with. Currently, it is mainly able to respond to only known vulnerabilities, but we hope that applying this guideline will reduce unknown security threats.

  • Cyber attacks have rapidly increased by exploiting the underlying vulnerabilities in the target software. However, identifying and correcting these vulnerabilities are extremely difficult and time consuming tasks. To address these problems efficiently, we propose a systematic methodology for security vulnerability assessment process on binary code in the paper. Specifically, we first classified the existing vulnerabilities based on whether the target software run in a Web environment and features of the software. Based on the classification, we determined the list and scope of the vulnerabilities. As our future research direction, we need to further refine and validate our methodology.

  • In modern society, IT technology based systems are introduced and operated in various fields such as home, industry, and finance. To ensure the safety of society, IT systems introduced throughout society should be protected from cyber attacks. Understanding and checking the current security status of the system is one of the important tasks to response effectively against cyber attacks. In this paper, we analyze limitations of Game Theory and Attack Tree methodologies used to inspect for security vulnerabilities. Based on this, we propose a security vulnerability quantification method that complements the limitations of both methodologies. This provides a more objective and systematic way to inspect for security weaknesses.

  • MANET can be applied to various applications as it can autonomously configure the network with only mobile nodes. However, the network can be vulnerable to cyber attacks because it is organized in a distributed environment without central control or management. In this paper, we propose a simulation-based network security vulnerability analysis and verification method. Using this method, we simulated the routing message modification attack, Sybil node attack, and TLV message modification attack that may frequently occur in MANET, and confirmed that similar vulnerabilities can be occurred in the real system. Therefore, the proposed method can be used to improve the accuracy of the protocol design by verifying possible security vulnerabilities through simulation during the protocol design procedure.

  • The cyber attacks of recent attacks that target zero-day exploit security vulnerabilities before the security patch is released (Zero Day) attack, the web site is without the Lord. These attacks, those that use the vulnerability of security that is built into the software itself is in most cases, cyber attacks that use the vulnerability of the security of the source code, in particular, has a characteristic response that are difficult to security equipment. Therefore, it is necessary to eliminate the security vulnerability from step to implement the software to prevent these attacks. In this paper, we try to design a Secure Coding Guide support tool to eliminate the threat of security from the stage of implementation.
