  • The purpose of the study is to contribute to the positive development of blockchain technology by providing data to examine security vulnerabilities and threats to blockchain-based services and review countermeasures. The findings of this study are as follows. Threats to the security of blockchain-based services can be classified into application security threats, smart contract security threats, and network (P2P) security threats. First, application security threats include wallet theft (e-wallet stealing), double spending (double payment attack), and cryptojacking (mining malware infection). Second, smart contract security threats are divided into reentrancy attacks, replay attacks, and balance increasing attacks. Third, network (P2P) security threats are divided into the 51% control attack, Sybil attack, balance attack, eclipse attack (spread false information attack), selfish mining (selfish mining monopoly), block withholding attack, DDoS attack (distributed service denial attack) and DNS/BGP hijacks. Through this study, it is possible to discuss the future plans of the blockchain technology-based ecosystem through understanding the functional characteristics of transparency or some privacy that can be obtained within the blockchain. It also supports effective coping with various security threats.

  • This paper studied security measures to protect the SCADA network from the increasingly sophisticated threats. Currently, SCADA system security uses methods that are almost like regular IT security systems. While there may be some common security techniques, security techniques are needed only for SCADA systems that are different from typical IT systems. Therefore, this paper will explore the security techniques currently used in SCADA systems, and the problems that arise when the current security techniques are used will be identified through the damage cases resulting from attacks in SCADA systems. Finally, as a new solution to ensure the availability and integrity required for current SCADA systems, we proposed linking Blockchain and SCADA systems.

  • Because IT security guidelines for universities and colleges mostly focus on hardware aspects, the problems such as security incidents by a user's mistake and personal information leakage by hacking are serious in our higher educational institutes. In order to solve these information protection and security problems in the educational institutes, realizable and implementable information protection and security guidelines which will contribute to escalate information protection level should be established and at the same time, specific guidelines should be provided to make the guidelines efficient. In this paper, the information security problems and cases are categorized to develop information security guidelines for the higher educational institutes in terms of short, mid, and long term aspects and the solutions to the problems are sought. In addition, a serious of approaches to the information security are proposed such as the improvement measures for the employees of the institute to have desirable security-minded, security problem prevention and resolving methods, developing conflict coordination procedure and law and regulation system establishment for making the educational institutes be information-oriented.

  • Enterprise security management system proposed to properly manage heterogeneous security products is the security management infrastructure designed to avoid needless duplications of management tasks and inter-operate those security products effectively. In this paper, we defined the security policies using Z-Notation and the detection algorithm of policy conflict for managing heterogeneous firewall systems. It is designed to help security management build invulnerable security policies that can unify various existing management infrastructures of security policies. Its goal is not only to improve security strength and increase the management efficiency and convenience but also to make it possible to include different security management infrastructures while building security policies. With the process of the detection and resolution for policy conflict, it is possible to integrate heterogeneous security policies and guarantee the integrity of them by avoiding conflicts or duplications among security policies. And further, it provides convenience to manage many security products existing in large networks.

  • This paper focuses on the study of a development direction of the industrial security Expert system. First of all, in order to manage Industrial security system, we need to have law, criminology, business and engineering professionals as well as IT experts, which are the multi-dimensional convergence professionals. Secondly, industrial organizations need to have workforce who can perform security strategy; security plan; security training; security services; or security system management and operations. Industrial security certification system can contribute to cultivate above mentioned professional workforce. Currently Industrial Security Expert(ISE) is a private qualification. However, the author argued that it have to be changed to national qualification. In addition, it is necessary that the system should be given credibility with verifying the personnel whether they are proper or not in the their field. In terms of quality innovation, it is also necessary that distinguish the levels of utilization of rating system of the industrial security coordinator through a long-term examination. With respect to grading criteria, we could consider the requirements as following: whether they must hold the degree of the industrial security-related areas of undergraduate or postgraduate (or to be); what or how many industrial security-related courses they should complete through a credit bank system. If the plan of completing certain industrial security-related credits simply through the credit bank system, without establishing a new industrial security-related department, has established, then industrial security study would be spreaded and advanced. For private certification holders, the problem of the qualification succeeding process is important matter. Additionally, it is necessary to introduce the certifying system of ISMS(Industrial Security Management System) which is a specialized system for protecting industrial technology. To sum up, when the industrial security management system links the industrial security management certification, industrial security would realize in the companies and research institutions dealing with national key technology. Then, a group synergy effect would occurs.

  • In order to protect the business information of the enterprise, the company is engaged in various information security activities, such as establishing an information security management system, establishing and operating an information security system, checking vulnerabilities and security controls. It is an enterprise information security governance that organizes various information security activities for enterprise business, and it needs to be systematized to operate them effectively. In this study, to systematize the enterprise information security governance, we would like to explore the existing Enterprise Information Portal(EIP) model and propose an Enterprise Information Security Portal(EISP) model based on it. The Enterprise Information Security Portal(EISP) model provides an integrated environment for supporting the activities of the information security departments by systemizing the enterprise information security governance, which is a variety of information security activities of the enterprises, so that the information security activities of the enterprises can participate directly from CEO to executives and employees, not just from the information security departments.

  • Recently, many South Korean firms have suffered financial losses and damaged corporate images from the data breaches. Accordingly, a firm should manage their IT assets securely through an information security investment. However, the difficulty of measuring the return on an information security investment is one of the critical obstacles for firms in making such investment decisions. There have been a number of studies on the effect of IT investment so far, but there are few researches on information security investment. In this paper, based on a sample of 76 investment announcements of firms whose stocks are publicly traded in the South Korea's stock market between 2001 and 2017, we examines the market reaction to information security investment by using event study methodology. The results of the main effects indicate that self-developed is significantly related to cumulative average abnormal returns (CAARs), while no significant effect was observed for discloser, investment characteristics and firm characteristics. In addition, we find that the market reacts more favorably to the news announced by the subject of investment than the vendor, in case of investments with commercial exploitation. One of main contributions in our study is that it has revealed the factors affecting the market reaction to announcement of information security investment. It is also expected that, in practice, corporate executives will be able to help make an information security investment decision.
