Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) has grown in popularity as a low-cost, flexible alternative to the classic public switched telephone network (PSTN) that offers advanced digital features. However, additional security vulnerabilities are introduced by the VoIP system's flexibility and the convergence of voice and data networks. These additional challenges add to the normal security challenges that a VoIP system's underlying IP data network infrastructure confront. As a result, the VoIP network adds to the complexity of the security assurance task faced by businesses that use this technology. It's time to start documenting the many security risks that a VoIP infrastructure can face, as well as analyzing the difficulties and solutions that could help guide future efforts in research & development. We discuss and investigate the challenges and requirements of VoIP security in this research. Following a thorough examination of security challenges, we concentrate on VoIP system threats, which are critical for present and future VoIP deployments. Then, towards the end of this paper, some future study directions are suggested. This article intends to guide future scholars and provide them with useful guidance.

Industrial control systems in nuclear facilities are facing increasing cyber threats due to the widespread use of information and communication equipment. To implement cyber security programs effectively through the RG 5.71, it is necessary to quantitatively assess cyber risks. However, this can be challenging due to limited historical data on threats and customized Critical Digital Assets (CDAs) in nuclear facilities. Previous works have focused on identifying data flows, the assets where the data is stored and processed, which means that the methods are heavily biased towards information security concerns. Additionally, in nuclear facilities, cyber threats need to be analyzed from a safety perspective. In this study, we use the system theoretic process analysis to identify system-level threat scenarios that could violate safety constraints. Instead of quantifying the likelihood of exploiting vulnerabilities, we quantify Security Control Measures (SCMs) against the identified threat scenarios. We classify the system and CDAs into four consequence-based classes, as presented in NEI 13-10, to analyze the adversary impact on CDAs. This allows for the ranking of identified threat scenarios according to the quantified SCMs. The proposed framework enables stakeholders to more effectively and accurately rank cyber risks, as well as establish security and response strategies.

최근의 보안 관련 공격들은 시스템의 취약점을 악용하는 공격보다는 시스템을 운영하는 사람을 목표로 하는 공격들이 다양하게 발생하고 있다. 그러나 현재 사람을 주요 공격 목표로 하는 사회공학 공격들의 위험도를 분석하여 전략적으로 대응하고자 하는 연구는 매우 부족한 현실이다. 본 논문에서는 사회공학 공격의 위험도를 평가하기 위해 공격 경로, 공격 수단, 공격 단계, 공격 도구, 공격 목표 측면에서 사회공학 공격들을 분석한다. 아울러 동일한 공격에 대해 조직의 특성과 환경에 따라 위험도는 다름을 반영하여 사회공학 공격 위험도와 함께 조직의 특성과 환경을 고려한 조직의 위험도를 평가한다. 뿐만 아니라, 일반적인 공격 위험도 평가 방법인 CVSS, CWSS, OWASP Risk Rating Methodology를 분석하여 사회공학 공격에 대한 조직의 위험도 평가 방안을 제안한다. 제안한 방법론은 조직의 환경 변화에 따라 조직에 적절한 사회공학 공격에 대한 조치를 취할 수 있도록 평가 유연성이 있다.

The nuclear supply chain attack surface is a large, complex network of interconnected stakeholders and activities. The global economy has widened and deepened the supply chain, resulting in larger numbers of geographically dispersed locations and increased difficulty ensuring the authenticity and security of critical digital assets. Although the nuclear industry has made significant strides in securing facilities from cyber-attacks, the supply chain remains vulnerable. This paper discusses supply chain threats and vulnerabilities that are often overlooked in nuclear cyber supply chain risk analysis. A novel supply chain cyber-attack surface diagram is provided to assist with enumeration of risks and to examine the complex issues surrounding the requirements for securing hardware, firmware, software, and system information throughout the entire supply chain lifecycle. This supply chain cyber-attack surface diagram provides a dashboard that security practitioners and researchers can use to identify gaps in current cyber supply chain practices and develop new risk-informed, cyber supply chain tools and processes.

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the risks of an over-concentration of supply chains in one country. It has motivated stakeholders to pursue diversification strategies. However, a paradox exists. Stakeholders have shied away from a complete decoupling and preferring to selectively enhance economic ties with China. This article explores this paradox by examining supply chain concentration in China as a form of asymmetric interdependence and the countermeasures from the U.S., Japan, Australia, and India to minimize vulnerabilities. It argues that while the COVID-19 disruptions have brought to light the risk of supply chain overconcentration in China, countermeasures are also driven by coercive diplomacy and the deepening U.S.-China rivalry. The paper also examines the feasibility of diversification efforts by focusing on the capacity and capabilities of alternative supply chain hubs. It finds that while states are actively seeking ways to prevent China from using asymmetric interdependence of supply chains and trade to gain political leverage, there are structural limits to the degree of diversification in the short to mid-term.

There are some cases when SOAP message, where WS-Security and WS-Policy elements are included, may consist of a sensitive and important data. In these cases, the message is highly recommended to be secured. The question exists of how to quickly identify that SOAP message satisfies security requirement and security level of a SOAP message. In this paper, we propose a technique called Bit-Stream which depends on the importance of SOAP elements to automatically identify the vulnerabilities and risks while offering advice for higher security.

Medical records must be well protected because they are needed to care for the health of patients. For that reason, user authentication and medical data encryption are essential for the security of both wired and wireless Healthcare Information Systems (HIS). The main focus of this paper is on the analysis of the numerous possible attacks and the countermeasures to overcome these attacks in Mobile Healthcare Environment (MHE) with an appropriate security protocols. To draw a conclusion, this will propose why a healthcare architecture should establish a multi-layered defense against the risks.

In this paper, we surveyed SSO based security management including the knowledge domain of the area of cloud and its relevant components. Cloud computing refers to the delivery of software and other technology services over the Internet by a service provider. SSO refers to the ability to log on to a single security system once, rather than logging on separately to multiple security systems. Existing SSO solutions in cloud computing environment suggest several methods. SSO-based security Issues illustrate these key items in cloud computing environment such as risks and security vulnerabilities of SSO. SSO supports for multiple and different domains in cloud computing environment.
