  • The organization shall minimize business risks associated with customer information leaks. Enhance information security activities through voluntary pre-check and must find a way to detect the personal information leakage caused by carelessness and neglect accident. Recently, many companies have introduced an information leakage prevention solution. However, there is a possibility of internal data leakage by the internal user who has permission to access the data. By this thread it is necessary to have the environment to analyze the habit and activity of the internal user. In this study, we use the SFI analytical technique that applies RFM model to evaluate the insider activity levels were carried out case studies is applied to the actual business.

  • Previous e-financial anomalies analysis and detection technology collects large amounts of electronic financial transaction logs generated from electronic financial business systems into big-data-based storage space. And it detects abnormal transactions in real time using detection rules that analyze transaction pattern profiling of existing customers and various accident transactions. However, deep analysis such as attempts to access e-finance by insiders of financial institutions with large scale of damages and social ripple effects and stealing important information from e-financial users through bypass of internal control environments is not conducted. This paper analyzes the management status of e-financial security programs of financial companies and draws the possibility that they are allies in security control of insiders who exploit vulnerability in management. In order to efficiently respond to this problem, it will present a comprehensive e-financial security management environment linked to insider threat monitoring as well as the existing e-financial transaction detection system.

  • The Internet of Things (IoT) has gotten a lot of research attention in recent years. IoT is seen as the internet's future. IoT will play a critical role in the future, transforming our lifestyles, standards, and business methods. In the following years, the use of IoT in various applications is likely to rise. In the world of information technology, cyber security is critical. In today's world, protecting data has become one of the most difficult tasks. Different type of emerging cyber threats such as malicious, network based and abuse of network have been identified in the IoT. These can be done by virus, Phishing, Spam and insider abuse. This paper focuses on emerging threats, various challenges and vulnerabilities which are faced by the cyber security in the field of IoT and its applications. It focuses on the methods, ethics, and trends that are reshaping the cyber security landscape. This paper also focuses on an attempt to classify various types of threats, by analyzing and characterizing the intruders and attacks facing towards the IoT devices and its services.

  • In recent years, personal information leakage and technology leakage accidents are frequently occurring. According to the survey, the most important part of this spill is the 'insider' within the organization, and the leakage of technology by insiders is considered to be an increasingly important issue because it causes huge damage to the organization. In this paper, we try to learn the normal behavior of employees using machine learning to prevent insider threats, and to investigate how to detect abnormal behavior. Experiments on the detection of abnormal behavior by implementing an Autoencoder composed of Recurrent Neural Network suitable for learning time series data among the neural network models were conducted and the validity of this method was verified.

  • The leakage of sensitive information by an insider within the organization becomes a serious threat nowadays. Sometimes, these insider threats are more harmful to an organization than external attack. Companies cannot afford to continue ignoring the potential of insider attacks. The purpose of this study is to design an integrated log analysis system that can detect various types of information leakages. The system uses threat rules generated through risk analysis, and monitors every aspect of the online activities of authorized insider. Not only should system have the ability to identify abnormal behavior, they should also be able to predict and even help to prevent potential risk. The system is composed of three modules, which are log collector, log analyzer and report generator.

  • Due to the advance of ICT, a variety of attacks have been developing and active. Recently, APT attacks using malicious codes have frequently occurred. Advanced Persistent Threat means that a hacker makes different security threats to attack a certain network of a company or an organization. Exploiting malicious codes or weaknesses, the hacker occupies an insider's PC of the company or the organization and accesses a server or a database through the PC to collect secrets or to destroy them. The paper suggested a countermeasure to cope with APT attacks through an APT attack process. It sought a countermeasure to delay the time to attack taken by the hacker and suggested the countermeasure able to detect and remove APT attacks.

  • In a situation where an unauthorized SW brought into the organization without being authorized is emerging as a threat to the network security, the security of the network based on the SDN(Software-Defined Network) can be strengthened through the development of the security application considering the organization's characteristics. Security technology of existing SDN environment has been studied to protect internal network from external networks such as firewalls and Intrusion Detection Systems, but the research for resolving insider threat was insufficient. Therefore, We propose a system that protects the internal network from unauthorized SW, which is one of the insider threats in the SDN environment.

  • SOA(service oriented architecture) based ESB(enterprise service bus) model is widely adopted in many companies for the safe processing of enormous data and the integration of business system. The existing web service technologies for the construction of SOA, however, show unsatisfactory in practical applications though the standardization of web service security technologies is in progress due to their limitations in safe exchange of data. Internal end users using a large business system based on such environment are composed of the variety of organizations and roles. Companies might receive more serious damage from insider threat than that from external one when internal end users get unauthorized information beyond the limits of their authority for private profit and bad purposes. In this paper, we propose a security architecture capable of identifying and coping with the security threats of web service technologies arouse from internal end users.
