  • Smart grid (SG) software platforms and communication networks that run and manage the entire grid are increasingly concerned about cyber security. Characteristics of the smart grid networks, including heterogeneity, time restrictions, bandwidth, scalability, and other factors make it difficult to secure. The age-old strategy of "building bigger walls" is no longer sufficient given the rise in the quantity and size of cyberattacks as well as the sophisticated methods threat actor uses to hide their actions. Cyber security experts utilize technologies and procedures to defend IT systems and data from intruders. The primary objective of every organization's cybersecurity team is to safeguard data and information technology (IT) infrastructure. Consequently, further research is required to create guidelines and methods that are compatible with smart grid security. In this study, we have discussed objectives of of smart grid security, challenges of smart grid security, defensive cybersecurity techniques, offensive cybersecurity techniques and open research challenges of cybersecurity.

  • This study has been conducted to provide data that contribute to increasing efficiency of 'Private Security', which is cooperated by customer, security companies and the police which carried out 'Public Law Enforcement' and controls security companies. To reach this purpose, we investigated the status of the 'Security Alarm Systems' operated by security service companied in Korea, analyzed arising problems, considered the polices for improving the operational quality. 'Electronic Security Systems' will increase working efficiency in performing 'Private Security'. There can be no two opinions on this matter. Therefore, it can be supposed that the improvement of operational quality of 'Electronic Security System' is an important factor to accomplish security services. 'Security Alarm System' is one of the 'Electronic Security System'. The critical problems in operating 'Security Alarm system' are unnecessary response by false alarm and nuisance alarm. To reduce the problems, it is suggested that security specialist officially licensed should improve security planning, installation and maintenance, and the 'Alarm Verification System' should be introduced with appropriate facilities.

  • In this paper, we introduce a smart city-cyber-security-grid-matrix methodology, as a result of research on overall cyber security of smart cities. The identified cyber security risks that threaten smart cities and smart-city-cyber-security-threat list are presented. The smart-city-cyber-security-requirements necessary to secure the smart city cyber security with the developed smart city-cyber-security-grid-matrix are given in this paper. We show how the developed smart city-cyber-security-grid-matrix methodology can be applied to real world. For it, we interlocked the developed smart city-cyber-security-grid-matrix methodology with the cyber-security-framework of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and developed a framework-based smart city-cyber-security-grid-matrix. Using it, it is easy and comfortable to check the level of cyber security of the target smart ciy at a glace, and the construction and operation of the smart city security system is systematized.

  • In the era of the Internet and ubiquitous computing, IS users are still facing a variety of threats. Therefore, a need of more tightened information security service increases unprecedentedly. In this sense, this study is aimed at proposing a new research model in which IT assets (i.e., network, system, and information influence) and Information Security Service (i.e., confidentiality, integrity, nonrepudiation, authentication) affect information security qualty positively, leading to users' satisfaction eventually To prove the validity of the proposed research model, PLS analysis is applied with valid 177 questionnaires. Results reveal that both IT assets and Information Security Service influence informations security quality positively, and user satisfaction as well. From the results, it can be concluded that Korean government's recent orchestrated efforts to boost the IT assets and Information Security Service helped great improve the information security quality and user satisfaction.

  • Recently, many Korean firms have suffered financial losses and damaged firm's trust due to information security incidents. Hence, a lot of firms have realized the importance of the information security. In particular, the demand for information security certification has increased. This study examined the effect of information security certification using the event study methodology. Our research shows that the announcement of the information security certification significantly influences the market value of the corresponding firm. The certified firms rise, on average, o.4993% (-2 day), 0.5462% (+1 day) of their market value. Further, we found that the financial sector in our data showed a 1.4% higher abnormal returns than the nonfinancial sector. On the other hand, whether a firm first acquired the information security certification is not significant. Our paper presents that it is possible to analyze the effect of the information security certification using the event study. We are expected to be used in making a decision for the investment of information security. Also, our results indicate that the firm which have acquired the information security certification should actively announce that fact.

  • Physical security protecting people from physical threats, such as a person or vehicle, has received a great attention. However, it has many risks of hacking and other security threats because it is highly dependent on automated management systems. In addition, a representative system of physical security, a CCTV control system has a high risk of hacking, such as video interceptions or video modulation. So physical security needs urgent security measures in accordance with these threats. In this paper, we examine the case of security threats that have occurred in the past, prevent those from threatening the physical security, and analyze the security problem with the threats. Then we study the countermeasures to prevent these security threats based on the problems found in each case. Finally we study for the method to apply these countermeasures.

  • In order to efficiently and preemptively respond to financial security threats that are becoming more sophisticated and intelligent, and to enable financial users to receive financial services safely, financial information security professionals are needed. However, as of 2015, the number of financial IT security personnel was 4.9%, which is slightly lower than the previous year, but still low. In this study, it is expected that the number of experts in financial security will increase gradually. In order to verify the minimum performance of financial security professionals and enhance the security consciousness, the subjects of the existing security qualification system, Curriculum and inspection techniques to analyze the necessity of introducing information security specialization specialized in financial sector.

  • Standardization of the security operation dashboard is essential for efficient operation of security operation center. The security operation dashboard should be configured so that it is widely used by security operation workers who have to live together 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. In addition, it must be able to comprehensively express the business activities of the security operation center. In addition, it should be possible to easily explain the business activities of the security operation center. Therefore, in this paper, we would like to explain the design of a security control dashboard based on blockade, detection, and response that is actually applied to case organizations in the power sector. Through this, it is intended to reduce the effort and time required for configuring a custom dashboard for VIPs, and contribute to the efficient operation of the security operation center.
