While IT security investment of organizations has been increased, the amount of the monetary loss of organizations caused by IT security breaches did not decrease as much as their expectation. Also, from surveys, it was discovered that the poor usage of their security budget thwarted the improvement of the organization's security level. In this paper, to resolve the poor usage of security budget of organizations, we propose a comprehensive economic model for determining the optimal amount of investment in security solutions, including the proactive security solutions(PSSs) and the reactive security solutions(RSSs). Using the proposed analytical model under different parameters of security solutions, we show the optimal condition to maximize the expected net benefits from IT security investment of organizations. Also, we verify the common belief that the optimal level of investment in security solutions is an increasing function of vulnerability. Through simulations, we find the optimal level of IT security investment, given parameters of different characteristics of security solutions.

In order to prevent leakage of personal information by insiders a large number of companies install pc security solutions like DRM(Digital Right Management), DLP(Data Loss Prevention), Personal information filtering software steadily. However, despite these investments anomalies personal information occurred. To establish proper security policy before implementing pc security solutions, companies can prevent personal information leakage. Furthermore by analyzing the log from the solutions, companies verify the policies implemented effectively and modify security policies. In this paper, we define the required security solutions installed on PC to prevent disclosure of personal information in a variety of PC security solution, plan to integrate operations of the solutions in the blocking personal information leakage point of view and propose security policies through PC security solution log analysis.

As damages from phishing have been increased, many anti-phishing solutions and related researches have been studied. Anti-phishing solutions are often built in web-browsers or provided as security toolbars. Other types of solutions are also developed such as email-filtering and solutions strengthening server authentication via secret image sharing. At the same time, researchers have tried to see the reasons why phishing works and how effective anti-phishing solutions are. In this paper, we review relevant anti-phishing solutions, their techniques and other phishing-related researches. Based on these, we summarize recommended ways to improve anti-phishing solutions and suggest the future directions to study to protect users from phishing attacks.

In recent years, domestic electronics, banking, electricity, services, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, corporate type and malicious hackers is corporate security through the accident occurred and the resulting loss of corporate information and the damage each year is steadily increasing. Many companies have responded to domestic business activities and to protect critical information related to laptops, smart phones, tablets, and introduced a variety of Endpoint security solutions within. However, being introduced to senselessly Endpoint security solution across the over-budget, with the same features and performance, such as conflicts and problems arise, resulting in additional maintenance costs, in an effort to resolve the conflict in the operational security of the IT department's new difficulty in becoming. Here is the introduction and operation of these Endpoint security solutions in order to solve the problem on employees's PC into the center of the information security governance based on Endpoint security solution to provide the process for determining the solutions presented.

This research suggests construction processes and security solutions for security control center as management measures for security management improvement in domestic electronic security companies. Security control center (SCC) is the central nerve of electronic security service, and no matter how well the on-site response system has been built, if SCC ceases to work due to an incident or disaster or security control personnel are harmed, the electronic security system cannot perform its proper functions. It is divided to a spatial structure, the infrastructure, control equipment, control solutions and operating structure in a construction process in the security control center. And a solution can be presented for physical security, information security, and personnel security in the way to security solutions.

Internet of Things (IoT) devices connected to the network without appropriate security solutions have become a serious security threat to ICT infrastructure. Moreover, due to the nature of IoT devices, it is difficult to apply currently existing security solutions. As a result, IoT devices have easily become targets for cyber attackers, and malware attacks on IoT devices are actually increasing every year. Even though several security solutions are being developed to protect IoT infrastructure, there is a great risk to apply unverified security solutions to real-world environments. Therefore, verification tools to verify the functionality and performance of the developed security solutions are also needed. Furthermore, just as security threats vary, there are several security solution s that defend against them, requiring suitable verification tools based on the characteristics of each security solution. In this paper, we propose an high-speed malware propagation tool that spreads malware at high speed in the IoT infrastructure. Also, we can verify the functionality of the security solution that detect and quickly block attacks spreading in IoT infrastructure by using the high-speed malware propagation tool.

Once information security solution is implemented, it requires many services other than just general user management, such as malicious code analysis and security updated for consistent security against external threats or attacks, analysis of threat and attack, effectivity management of obtained security assurance, and advisory activities of security technical professionals. However, even if information security solutions provide those extra services, they are not properly treated in real market. Thus, for the security sustainable services, this study analyzes the service status of domestic information security, and suggest policy measure of price which could reflected the characteristics of information security solutions.

Recently, many enterprises are suffering from advanced types of malware and their variants including intelligent malware that can evade the current security systems. This addresses the fact that current security systems have limits on protecting advanced and intelligent security threats. To enhance the overall level of security, first of all, it needs to increase detection ratio of each security solution within a security system. In addition, it is also necessary to implement internetworking between multiple security solutions to increase detection ratio and response speed. In this paper, we suggest a collaborative security response method to overcome the limitations of the previous Internet service security solutions. The proposed method can show an enhanced result to respond to intelligent security threats.

The United States is responding to evolving cyberattacks through the Commercial Solutions for Classified Program (CSfC). Authorized safety evaluation and certification are being carried out so that US government agencies can quickly introduce civilian commercial security products into the national pavilion. Commercial security products registered in the CSfC process can be used by defense agencies through a rapid approval process. Defense agencies approve commercial security products without duplicate evaluation. Approved security products can reduce the time, cost, and cost of the approval process required to implement the defense information system. In this study, security control for 4 types of network security architecture MSC (Multi-Site Connectivity), MA (Mobile Access), Campus WLAN, and DAR (Data at Rest) proposed by the US National Security Agency (NSA) for introduction to national defense A detailed analysis was performed on the items.
