  • Social engineering attack means to get information of Social engineering attack means to get information of opponent without technical attack or to induce opponent to provide information directly. In particular, social engineering does not approach opponents through technical attacks, so it is difficult to prevent all attacks with high-tech security equipment. Each company plans employee education and social training as a countermeasure to prevent social engineering. However, it is difficult for a security officer to obtain a practical education(training) effect, and it is also difficult to measure it visually. Therefore, to measure the social engineering threat, we use the results of social engineering training result to calculate the risk by system asset and propose a attack graph based probability. The security officer uses the results of social engineering training to analyze the security threats by asset and suggests a framework for quick security response. Through the framework presented in this paper, we measure the qualitative social engineering threats, collect system asset information, and calculate the asset risk to generate probability based attack graphs. As a result, the security officer can graphically monitor the degree of vulnerability of the asset's authority system, asset information and preferences along with social engineering training results. It aims to make it practical for companies to utilize as a key indicator for establishing a systematic security strategy in the enterprise.

  • The purpose of this study is to develop security subjects that require engineering security knowledge. In particular, Engineering knowledge is required to perform security tasks such as smart factory security. However, although there are similar specialties such as mechanical security instructors, industrial security managers, and industrial security specialists(CPP), they are not based on engineering knowledge. Accordingly, Delphi analysis through expert interviews was used to derive a job analysis of security engineering. And I was able to sort out the necessary knowledge. Research Results 1-Line Security for Perimeter Security Architectural Structure, Architectural Dynamics, Including Septed, Control instrumentation including smart factory security for building security with 2-Line security, With 3-Line security, it was divided into ergonomics and mechanical expenses for indoor security. As a result of the survey, by age, those in their 30s showed the highest response with 75.8%, and by job, industrial security officers with 76.4%. This could be seen as a desire for a environmental security engineering certificate by practitioners in the industrial security field.

  • For reliability and confidentiality of information security systems, the security engineering methodologies are accepted in many organizations. To improve the effectiveness of security engineering, this paper suggests a security methodology ISEM, which considers both product assurance and production processes, takes advantages in terms of quality and cost. To verify the effectiveness of ISEM, this paper introduces the concepts of quality loss, and compares the development costs and quality losses between ISEM and CC through the development of VPN system.

  • 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.

  • As regulatory bodies require full implementation of security controls in nuclear power plants (NPPs), security functions for critical digital assets are currently being developed. For the ultimate introduction of security controls, not alternative measures, it is important to understand the relationship between possible cyber threats to NPPs and security controls to prevent them. To address the effectiveness of the security control implementation, this study investigated the types of cyber threats that can be prevented when the security controls are implemented through the mapping of the reorganized security controls in RS-015 to cyber threats on NPPs. Through this work, the cyber threat that each security control can prevent was confirmed, and the effectiveness of several strategies for implementing the security controls were compared. This study will be a useful reference for utilities or researchers who cannot use design basis threat (DBT) directly and be helpful when introducing security controls to NPPs that do not have actual security functions.

  • In this paper, due to the network security defense is mainly static defense, a dynamic classification network security defense strategy model is proposed by analyzing the security situation of complex computer network. According to the network security impact parameters, eight security elements and classification standard are obtained. At the same time, the dynamic classification algorithm based on fuzzy theory is also presented. The experimental analysis results show that the proposed model and algorithm are feasible and effective. The model is a good way to solve a safety problem that the static defense cannot cope with tactics and lack of dynamic change.

  • The Common Criteria (CC) philosophy is to provide assurance based upon an evaluation of the IT product or system that is to be trusted. Evaluation has been the traditional means of providing assurance. It is essential that not only the customer' srequirements for software functionality should be satisfied but also the security requirements imposed on the software development should be effectively analyzed and implemented in contributing to the security objectives of customer's requirements. Unless suitable requirements are established at the start of the software development process, the re suiting end product, however well engineered, may not meet the objectives of its anticipated consumers. By the security evaluation, customer can sure about the quality of the products or sys tems they will buy and operate. In this paper, we propose a selection guide for If products by show ing relationship between security engineering and security evaluation and make help user and customer select appropriate products or system.

  • The security risk management used by some service providers is not appropriate for effective security enhancement. The reason is that the security risk management methods did not take into account the opinions of security experts, types of service, and security vulnerability-based risk assessment. Moreover, the security risk assessment method, which has a great influence on the risk treatment method in an information security risk assessment model, should be security risk assessment for fine-grained risk assessment, considering security vulnerability rather than security threat. Therefore, we proposed an improved information security risk management model and methods that consider vulnerability-based risk assessment and mitigation to enhance security controls considering limited security budget. Moreover, we can evaluate the security cost allocation strategies based on security vulnerability measurement that consider the security weight.

  • In this paper, we present multi-channel authentication based security card design. Since this security card is written on the transparent paper, security information is extracted by overlaying the card with smartphone screen. This method removes the limitations of physical layout in previous security card and improves the security level. Furthermore, our security card is secure when our card is exposed to malicious users.

  • With the advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the paradigm of finance is also changing. As remote work becomes more active due to cloud computing and coronavirus, the work environment changes and attack techniques are becoming intelligent and advanced, companies should accept new security models to further strengthen their current security systems. Zero trust security increases security by monitoring all networks and allowing strict authentication and minimal access rights for access requesters with the core concept of doubting and not trusting everything. In addition, the use of NAC and EDR for identification subjects and data to strengthen access control of the zero trust-based security system, and strict identity authentication through MFA will be explained. Therefore, this paper introduces a zero-trust security solution that strengthens existing security systems and presents the direction and validity to be introduced in the financial sector.
