  • The problem of corruption and the spread of corruption crime today is not only one of the main social problems, but also an obstacle to the implementation of reforms in Ukraine. Given the complexity, scale and diversity of the impact of corruption, it is an undisputed threat to national security. At the state level, corruption threatens, firstly, state security as a result of its spread in public authorities and the combination of political and business spheres; secondly, in the domestic political sphere as a result of non-compliance and violation by officials of public authorities and local governments of the laws of Ukraine; thirdly, in the economic sphere as a result of the dominance of personal interests of civil servants over national ones; fourthly, in other spheres, namely, military, social, ecological, informational, foreign policy, etc. The origins of corruption are diverse and are formed not only in the country but also abroad. The current corruption threat is the result of the country's ineffective domestic and foreign anticorruption policies. Acceleration of the spread and manifestation of external corruption threats is associated with a number of unresolved foreign policy issues against the background of the development of globalization and integration processes, in particular: economic and financial dependence of the country on international financial institutions and organizations; as well as from foreign countries that pose a potential threat due to their ambitious plans to expand our country; unresolved issues regarding the international legal consolidation of borders, etc. It is noted that the current conditions for the development of state security, due to new challenges and threats, need to improve and implement new measures to prevent corruption as a negative impact of the main threats to national economic security. As a result of the study, the main measures to counter the main threats to the economic security of the state were identified.

  • In this study, we have discussed and illustrated the security issues of WiMAX technology including vulnerabilities, threats and some security solution. Both physical layer and data link layer have been considered. Jamming is a major threat in physical layer, and in data link layer we study an authentication problem and see the problem of some unencrypted messages leading to lack of confidentiality. Some of these vulnerabilities have been solved in the recent amendment of 802.16 and some still remain. Moreover WiMax is a new technology yet.

  • In this study, general outline of P2P(peer to peer) application was analyzed dealing with security attacks and threats on the P2P environment. Information security service was studied to provide secure P2P service under the information threats. This study proposes two methods to provide secure information security service. One is a method to use personal firewall software on the peer. The other is a method to use key distribution protocol for confidentiality and integrity.

  • Mobile services which are applied PC performance and mobile characteristics are increased with spread of the smartphone. Recently, mobile cloud service is getting the spotlight as a solution of mobile service problems that mobile device is lack of memory, computing power and storage and mobile services are subordinate to a particular mobile device platform. However, mobile cloud service has more potential security threats by the threat inheritance of mobile service, wireless network and cloud computing service. Therefore, security threats of mobile cloud service has to be removed in order to deploy secure mobile cloud services and user and manager should be able to respond appropriately in the event of threat. In this paper, We define mobile cloud service threats by threat analysis of mobile device, wireless network and cloud computing and we propose mobile cloud service countermeasures in order to respond mobile cloud service threats and threat scenarios in order to respond and predict to potential mobile cloud service threats.

  • As both medical and IT technologies advance, convergent medical technologies such as implantable medical devices are receiving a lot of attentions from the research and medical appliance market. On the other hand, such a new medical service is facing several new security threats including patient privacy breach since the service is based on the wireless communication. Especially, the new security threat could induce the patient's life threatening accident, so that more secure measures should be provided. In this paper, a variety of security threats associated with the implantable medical devices are pinpointed and a new security mechanism against such threats is proposed.

  • This is the world of computer science and innovations. In this modern era, every day new apps, webs and software are being introduced. As well as new apps and software are being introduced, similarly threats and vulnerable security matters are also increasing. Web apps are software that can be used by customers for numerous useful tasks, and because of the developer experience of good programming standards, web applications that can be used by an attacker also have multiple sides. Web applications Security is expected to protect the content of critical web and to ensure secure data transmission. Application safety must therefore be enforced across all infrastructure, including the web application itself, that supports the web applications. Many organizations currently have a type of web application protection scheme or attempt to build/develop, but the bulk of these schemes are incapable of generating value consistently and effectively, and therefore do not improve developers' attitude in building/designing stable Web applications. This article aims to analyze the attacks on the website and address security scanners of web applications to help us resolve web application security challenges.

  • 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.

  • Security threats to information services are increasingly being developed, and the frequency and damage caused by security threats are also increasing. In particular, security threats occurring inside the organization are increasing significantly, and the size of the damage is also large. A zero trust model has been proposed as a way to improve such a security environment. In the zero trust model, a subject who has access to information resources is regarded as a malicious attacker. Subjects can access information resources after verification through identification and authentication processes. However, the initially proposed zero trust model basically focuses on the network and does not consider the security environment for systems or data. In this study, we proposed a zero trust-based access control mechanism that extends the existing zero trust model to the file system. As a result of the study, it was confirmed that the proposed file access control mechanism can be applied to implement the zero trust model.
