  • With the development of the Internet and Information Communication Technology, there has been an increase in the amount of Open Source Intelligence(OSINT). OSINT can be highly effective, if well refined and utilized. Recently, it has been assumed that almost 95% of all information comes from public sources and the utilization of open sources has sharply increased. The ISVG and START programs, for example, collect information about open sources related to terrorism or crime, effectively used to detect terrorists and prevent crime. The open source information related to the cyber attacks is, however, quite different from that in terrorism (or crime) in that it is difficult to clearly identify the attacker, the purpose of attack, and the range of damage. In addition, the data itself of cyber attacks is relatively unstructured. So, a totally new approach is required to establish and utilize an OSINT database for cyber attacks, which is proposed in this paper.

  • As operations that were only conducted in physical space in the past change to operations that include cyberspace, it is necessary to analyze how cyber attacks affect weapon systems using cyber systems. For this purpose, it would be meaningful to analyze a tool that analyzes the effects of physical weapon systems in connection with cyber. The ROK military has secured and is operating the US JMEM, which contains the results of analyzing the effects of physical weapon systems. JMEM is applied only to conventional weapon systems, so it is impossible to analyze the impact of cyber weapon systems. In this study, based on the previously conducted cyber attack damage assessment framework, a framework for analyzing the impact of cyber attacks on physical missions was presented. To this end, based on the MOE and MOP of physical warfare, a cyber index for the analysis of cyber weapon system effectiveness was calculated. In addition, in conjunction with JMEM, which is used as a weapon system effect manual in physical operations, a framework was designed and tested to determine the mission impact by comparing and analyzing the results of the battle in cyberspace with the effects of physical operations. In order to prove the proposed framework, we analyzed and designed operational scenarios through domestic and foreign military manuals and previous studies, defined assets, and conducted experiments. As a result of the experiment, the larger the decrease in the cyber mission effect value, the greater the effect on physical operations. It can be used to predict the impact of physical operations caused by cyber attacks in various operations, and it will help the battlefield commander to make quick decisions.

  • Recently, As ICT technology develops, cyber attacks are becoming more intelligent and advanced. In order to cope with such cyber attacks, the security control system must be maintained 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Security personnel should be able to respond in real time to cyber attacks through shift work for 24 hours, but the workforce law was revised in 2018 to affect manpower and security control work systems. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an effective security control work system by reducing 52 working hours per week.

  • This study expands the current body of research by exploring multiple scenarios of insufficient and excessive IT security investments caused by interdependent risks and the interplay between IT security investments and cyber insurance. A key finding is that organizations experiencing interdependent risks with different types of cyber attacks (i.e., targeted and untargeted attacks) use different strategies in making IT security investment decisions and in purchasing cyber insurance policies for their information security risk management than firms that are facing independent risks. The study further provides an economic rationale for employing insurance mechanisms as a risk management solution for information security.
