  • This paper proposes security architecture, security audit framework, and audit check item. These are based on the security requirement that has been researched in the information system audit. The proposed information security architecture is built in a way that it could defend a cyber attack. According to its life cycle, it considers a security service and security control that is required by the information system. It is mapped in a way that it can control the security technology and security environment. As a result, an audit framework of the information system is presented based on the security requirement and security architecture. The standard checkpoints of security audit are of the highest level. It was applied to the system introduction for the next generation of D stock and D life insurance company. Also, it was applied to the human resources information system of K institution and was verified. Before applying to institutions, system developers and administrators were educated about their awareness about security so that they can follow guidelines of a developer security. As a result, the systemic security problems were decreased by more than eighty percent.

  • Data security is the planning, implementation and implementation of security policies and procedures for the proper audit and authorization of access to and use of data and information assets. In addition, data serviced through internal / external networks, servers, applications, etc. are the core objects of information protection and can be said to focus on the protection of data stored in DB and DB in the category of information security of database and data. This study is a preliminary study to design a proper Data Security Management System (DSMS) model based on the data security certification system and the US Federal Security Management Act (FISMA). And we study the major security certification systems such as ISO27001 and NIST's Cybersecurity Framework, and also study the state of implementation in the data security manager solution that is currently implemented as a security platform for preventing personal data leakage and strengthening corporate security.

  • The change of attack techniques paradigm was begun by fast extension of the latest Internet and new attack form appearing. But, Most intrusion detection systems detect only known attack type as IDS is doing based on misuse detection, and active correspondence is difficult in new attack. Therefore, to heighten detection rate for new attack pattern, the experiments to apply various techniques of anomaly detection are appearing. In this paper, we propose an behavior profiling method using Bayesian framework based on graphics from audit data and visualize behavior profile to detect/analyze anomaly behavior. We achieve simulation to translate host/network audit data into BF-XML which is behavior profile of semi-structured data type for anomaly detection and to visualize BF-XML as SVG.

  • Recently in information business, managing and auditing are getting more difficult because of enlargement, intellectualization and convergence. In addition, ordering organizations have been having a difficult time choosing a service because not only there is a huge overlap between information audit system and PMO but also the work boundaries of those two are not clear enough. As the demand that a business managing and auditing frame work need to be more developed in terms of independence, quality, economic feasibility and responsibility has been increased, the Korea Association Of Information Systems Audit has been attempting to improve business management and audit system by proposing Unified Project Management Framework whose process is approximately constructed. This study introduces Unified Project Management Framework which is all-encompassing from the ordering at the very beginning of business to the operating in the post-processing step and then verifies its work scope through a comparative analysis with existing management systems. Also, this thesis examines the necessity of unification of audit system and PMO by analysing existing similar systems. At the end, this study, analyses the suitability of Unified Project Management Framework by evaluating it with IT goal frame of COBIT5 which is constructed based on BSC performance management index. The result of the analysis is expected to help people in charge understanding the features of Unified Project Management Framework before they apply it to practical business.

  • Information technology have led to change the automation of large industrial control system as well as business system and environments. Industrial control system(ICS) is vital components of most nation's critical infrastructures such as electricity, natural gas, water, waste treatment, transportation and communication that are based of national security, safety of citizen and development of national economy According to the change of business environment, organizational management pushed integration all of the system include MIS and ICS. This situation led to use standard information technologies for ICS, this transition has been to expose ICS to the same vulnerabilities and threats that plague business system. Recently government obliged owners of the public information system to audit for safety, efficiency and effectiveness, and also obliged the owners of national infrastructure to improve their system security as a result of vulnerability analysis. But there doesn't prepare a security architecture and information security auditing framework of ICS fur auditing. In this paper, I suggested the security architecture and information security auditing framework for ICS in order to prepare the base of industrial system security auditing.

  • Globally researchers at medical institutions are actively sharing COHORT data of patients to develop vaccines and treatments to overcome the COVID-19 crisis. OMOP-CDM, a common data model that efficiently shares medical data research independently operated by individual medical institutions has patient personal information (e.g. PII, PHI). Although PII and PHI are managed and shared indistinguishably through de-identification or anonymization in medical institutions they could not be guaranteed at 100% by complete de-identification and anonymization. For this reason the security of the OMOP-CDM database is important but there is no detailed and specific OMOP-CDM security inspection tool so risk mitigation measures are being taken with a general security inspection tool. This study intends to study and present a model for implementing a tool to check the security vulnerability of OMOP-CDM by analyzing the security guidelines for the US database and security controls of the personal information protection of the NIST. Additionally it intends to verify the implementation feasibility by real field demonstration in an actual 3 hospitals environment. As a result of checking the security status of the test server and the CDM database of the three hospitals in operation, most of the database audit and encryption functions were found to be insufficient. Based on these inspection results it was applied to the optimization study of the complex and time-consuming CDM CSF developed in the "Development of Security Framework Required for CDM-based Distributed Research" task of the Korea Health Industry Promotion Agency. According to several recent newspaper articles, Ramsomware attacks on financially large hospitals are intensifying. Organizations that are currently operating or will operate CDM databases need to install database audits(proofing) and encryption (data protection) that are not provided by the OMOP-CDM database template to prevent attackers from compromising.

  • Secure operating system is a special operating system that integrates some security functions(i.e. access control, user authentication, audit-trail and etc.) with normal operating system in order to protect system from various attacks. But it doesn't consider my security of network traffic. To guarantee the security of the whole system, network traffic must be protected by a certain way and IPsec is a representative technology for network security. However, it requires administrator's carefulness in managing security policies and the key management mechanism is very heavy as well as complicated. Moreover, it doesn't have a suitable framework for delivery of security information for access control mechanism. So we propose a simple trusted channel mechanism for secure communication between secure operating systems. It provides confidentiality md authentication for network traffic and ability to deliver security information. It is implemented at the kernellevel of IP layer and the simplicity of the mechanism can minimize the overhead of trusted channel processing.

  • Cloud accounting represents a new area of accounting information systems. Past research has often focused on accounting information systems and its antecedents, rather than factors that adopt cloud accounting system. The purpose of this paper is to explain the factors that influence the adoption of cloud accounting in the financial sectors. This paper applied the technology acceptance model (TAM), technology-organization-environment, and the De Lone and Mc Lean model, coupled with proposed factors relevant to cloud accounting. The proposed model was empirically evaluated using survey data from 187 managers (financial managers, IT department managers, audit managers, heads of accounting departments, and head of internal control departments) in Jordanian bank branches. Based on the SEM results, top management support, organizational competency, service quality, system quality, perceived usefulness, and perceived ease of use had a positive relationship with the intention of using cloud accounting. Cloud accounting adoption positively affected cloud accounting usage. This paper contributes to a theoretical understanding of factors that activate the adoption of cloud accounting. For financial firms in general the results enable them to better develop cloud accounting framework. The paper verifies the factors that affect the adoption of cloud accounting and the proposed cloud accounting model.

  • The U.S. Department of Defense, leading global cybersecurity policies, has two main cybersecurity frameworks: the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) for external defense industry certification, and the Risk Management Framework (RMF) for internal organizational security assessments. For Republic of Korea military, starting from 2026, the Korean version of RMF (K-RMF) will be fully implemented. Domestic defense industry companies participating in projects commissioned by the U.S. Department of Defense must obtain CMMC certification by October 2025. In this paper, a new standard compliance meta-model (R3C) development methodology that can simultaneously support CMMC and RMF security audit readiness tasks is introduced, along with the implementation results of a compliance solution based on the R3C meta-model. This research is based on practical experience with the U.S. Department of Defense's cybersecurity regulations gained during the joint project by the South Korean and U.S. defense ministries' joint chiefs of staff since 2022. The developed compliance solution functions are being utilized in joint South Korean-U.S. military exercises. The compliance solution developed through this research is expected to be available for sale in the private sector and is anticipated to be highly valuable for domestic defense industry companies that need immediate CMMC certification.
