Recently, as evaluation of information security (IS) management become more diverse and complicated, the contents and procedure of the evidence to prepare for actual assessment are rapidly increasing. As a result, the actual assessment is a burden for both evaluation agencies and institutions receiving assessments. However, most of them reflect the evaluation system used by foreign government agencies, standard organizations, and commercial companies. It is necessary to consider the evaluation system suitable for the domestic environment instead of reflecting the overseas evaluation system as it is. The purpose of this study is as follows. First, we will present the problems of the existing information security assessment system and the improvement direction of the information security assessment system through analysis of existing information security assessment system. Second, it analyzes the technical guidance for information security testing and assessment and the evaluation of information security management in the Special Publication 800-115 'Technical Guide to Information Security Testing and Assessment' of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Third, we will build a framework to implement the evidence collection system and present a system implementation method for the '6. Information System Security' of 'information security management actual condition evaluation index'. The implications of the framework development through this study are as follows. It can be expected that the security status of the enterprises will be improved by constructing the evidence collection system that can collect the collected evidence from the existing situation assessment. In addition, it is possible to systematically assess the actual status of information security through the establishment of the evidence collection system and to improve the efficiency of the evaluation. Therefore, the management system for evaluating the actual situation can reduce the work burden and improve the efficiency of evaluation.

Information security management systems (ISMSs) are used to manage information about their customers and themselves by governments or business organizations following advances in e-commerce, open networks, mobile networks, and Internet banking. This paper explains the existing ISMSs and presents a comparative analysis. The discussion deals with different types of ISMSs. We addressed issues within the existing ISMSs via analysis. Based on these analyses, then we proposes the development of an information security management evaluation system (ISMES). The method can be applied by a self-evaluation of the organization and an evaluation of the organization by the evaluation committee. The contribution of this study enables an organization to refer to and improve its information security levels. The case study can also provide a business organization with an easy method to build ISMS and the reduce cost of information security evaluation.

As Cyber threats are rising, the scope of information Security (IS) is extending from technical protection of a single information system to organizational comprehensive IS capability. The ministry of National Defense (MND) has established the IS evaluation for defense organization in 'the Directive for Defense Informatization Affairs.' However, no information about an evaluation method, process and organization is provided. We surveyed information security management system (ISMS) and related best practices in public sector and other countries, and analysed the military information security affairs. Thus, this paper recommends the IS evaluation method and process. The trial IS evaluation is in progress this year and the MND will expand this IS evaluation to the entire organization.

The Enterprise Security Management system is a centralized control system based on predefined security policies by organizations. In Korea, there is a Common Criteria security certification according to the strict standards for various features. As the needs of information security product are increasing, the ESM system should be evaluated with quality characteristics. In this paper, we propose evaluation items for functionality and performance of Enterprise Security Management system, and the best practices for evaluation.

Growing information threats have threatened organization to lose information security controls in these days. Many organizations have accepted the various information security management systems does mention necessity of a continuous evaluation process for the executions of information security management in a theoretical aspect. This study suggests a continuous evaluation process for information security management reflecting the real execution of managers and employees in organizations.

Many researchers have proved that information systems auditing is a very effective tool for improving information systems quality. However, information system auditing in Korea still includes many subjective judgements. This study deals with applying a quantitative model to improve information system auditing quality on security domain. First of all, we have looked at previous researches on information systems audit, especially on security audit. Based on this survey, we have come up with solutions to improve the evaluation efficiency on security audit. We have merged the security audit guidelines of NCA and KISA, and developed a quantified evaluation scheme. We have proved the validity of this model by interviews with experts and by case studies.

Advanced persistent threats (APTs) are constant attacks of specific targets by hackers using intelligent methods. All current internal infrastructures are constantly subject to APT attacks created by external and unknown malware. Therefore, information security officers require a framework that can assess whether information security systems are capable of detecting and blocking APT attacks. Furthermore, an on-line evaluation of information security systems is required to cope with various malicious code attacks. A regular evaluation of the information security system is thus essential. In this paper, we propose a dynamic updated evaluation framework to improve the detection rate of internal information systems for malware that is unknown to most (over 60 %) existing static information security system evaluation methodologies using non-updated unknown malware.

정보통신시스템에 대한 기술적 보안만으로는 안전한 정보통신시스템 운영을 보장할 수 없다. 따라서, 안전한 정보통신시스템 운영을 위한 정보보안관리시스템(ISMS)에 대한 연구와 표준화가 활발히 전개되고 있다 우리나라는 2005년 "국가사이버안전관리규정"을 제정하고, "국가사이버안전매뉴얼"의 "보안관리 기준"에 의하여 국가 공공기관이 자체적으로 "보안관리수준 평가"를 수행토록 함으로써 체계적인 정보보안관리 활동이 이루어지도록 하고 있다. 본 논문은 관련 표준들과 호주, 미국의 보안관리 체계에 대하여 조사하고, "보안관리수준 평가" 체계를 효율적인 보안관리 측면에서 분석하고, 이를 통하여 "보안관리수준 평가"의 개선방향에 대하여 연구하였다. 기존의 체계에 추가항목(A/C ; Additional Control), 선택적 보안관리 기준(Selective Controls)구성을 도입하고 평가 준비 절차의 개선을 통하여 각 기관에 최적화된 보안관리 기준을 작성할 수 있도록 함으로써, 기관에 적합한 효율적 보안관리의 수행이 가능하고, 급변하는 정보통신 환경에 유연하게 대응할 수 있도록 하였다.

In the paper, we designed an automatic security diagnostic evaluation System(SeDES) based on a security diagnostic evaluation model(SeDEM) for an organization's security assurance. The SeDEM evaluates a security level of an organization quantitatively by a security evaluation formula which is composed of security variables and security index as applying the statistical CAEL model for evaluate risk level of banks. The SeDES has a good expandability as changing security variables according to an organization scale, characteristics and so on. And it also has a excellent usage because it inputs only numeric data got from statistical technique to security index. We can understand more a security level correctly than the existent risk assessment system because it is possible to assess quantitatively with an security grade as well as score. analysis.
