  • As the social and financial damages caused by APT attack such as 3.20 cyber terror are increased, the technical solution against APT attack is required. It is, however, difficult to protect APT attack with existing security equipments because the attack use a zero-day malware persistingly. In this paper, we propose a host based anomaly detection method to overcome the limitation of the conventional signature-based intrusion detection system. First, we defined 39 features to identify between normal and abnormal behavior, and then collected 8.7 million feature data set that are occurred during running both malware and normal executable file. Further, each process is represented as 83-dimensional vector that profiles the frequency of appearance of features. the vector also includes the frequency of features generated in the child processes of each process. Therefore, it is possible to represent the whole behavior information of the process while the process is running. In the experimental results which is applying C4.5 decision tree algorithm, we have confirmed 2.0% and 5.8% for the false positive and the false negative, respectively.

  • Recently network based attack technologies are rapidly advanced and intelligent, the limitations of existing signature-based intrusion detection systems are becoming clear. The reason is that signature-based detection methods lack generalization capabilities for new attacks such as APT attacks. To solve these problems, research on machine learning-based intrusion detection systems is being actively conducted. However, in the actual network environment, attack samples are collected very little compared to normal samples, resulting in class imbalance problems. When a supervised learning-based anomaly detection model is trained with such data, the result is biased to the normal sample. In this paper, we propose to overcome this imbalance problem through One-Class Anomaly Detection using an auto encoder. The experiment was conducted through the NSL-KDD data set and compares the performance with the supervised learning models for the performance evaluation of the proposed method.

  • Recently, circulating ransomware is becoming intelligent and sophisticated through a spreading new viruses and variants, targeted spreading using social engineering attack, malvertising that circulate a large quantity of ransomware by hacking advertising server, or RaaS(Ransomware-as-a- Service), from the existing attack way that encrypt the files and demand money. In particular, it makes it difficult to track down attackers by bypassing security solutions, disabling parameter checking via file encryption, and attacking target-based ransomware with APT(Advanced Persistent Threat) attacks. For remove the threat of ransomware, various detection techniques are developed, but, it is very hard to respond to new and varietal ransomware. Accordingly, in this paper, find out a making Signature-based Detection Patterns and problems, and present a pattern automation model of ransomware detecting for responding to ransomware more actively. This study is expected to be applicable to various forms in enterprise or public security control center.

  • Recently ICT, new technologies such as IoT, Cloud, and Artificial Intelligence are changing the information society explosively. But personal information leakage incidents of consignee's company are increasing more and more because of the expansion of consignment business and the latest threats such as Ransomware and APT. Therefore, in order to strengthen the security of consignee's company, this study derived the checklists through the analysis of the status such as the feature of consignment and the security standard management system and precedent research. It also analyzed laws related to consignment. Finally we found out the relative importance of checklists after it was applied to proposed AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) Model. Relative importance was ranked as establishment of an internal administration plan, privacy cryptography, life cycle, access authority management and so on. The purpose of this study is to reduce the risk of leakage of customer information and improve the level of personal information protection management of the consignee by deriving the check items required in handling personal information of consignee and demonstrating the model. If the inspection activities are performed considering the relative importance of the checklist items, the effectiveness of the input time and cost will be enhanced.
