  • In this paper, we design and implement PADIL(Prediction And Detection of Information Leakage) system that predicts and detect information leakage behavior of insider by analyzing network traffic and applying a variety of machine learning methods. we defined the five-level information leakage model(Reconnaissance, Scanning, Access and Escalation, Exfiltration, Obfuscation) by referring to the cyber kill-chain model. In order to perform the machine learning for detecting information leakage, PADIL system extracts various features by analyzing the network traffic and extracts the behavioral features by comparing it with the personal profile information and extracts information leakage level features. We tested various machine learning methods and as a result, the DecisionTree algorithm showed excellent performance in information leakage detection and we showed that performance can be further improved by fine feature selection.

  • Military secrets or confidential data of any organization are extremely important assets. They must be discluded from outside. To do this, methods for detecting anomalous attacks and intrusions inside the network have been proposed. However, most anomaly-detection methods only cover aspects of intrusion from outside and do not deal with internal leakage of data, inflicting greater damage than intrusions and attacks from outside. In addition, applying conventional anomaly-detection methods to data exfiltration creates many problems, because the methods do not consider a number of variables or the internal network environment. In this paper, we describe issues considered in data exfiltration detection for anomaly detection (DEDfAD) to improve the accuracy of the methods, classify the methods as profile-based detection or machine learning-based detection, and analyze their advantages and disadvantages. We also suggest future research challenges through comparative analysis of the issues with classification of the detection methods.
