Vulnerability management is in compliance with security policies, and then, this is to ensure the continuity and availability of the business. In this paper, the application vulnerability management and IT infrastructure of the system is that it must be identified. And a viable vulnerability management plan should be drawn from the development phase. There are many that are not defined vulnerability in the area of identification and authentication, encryption, access control in identification and classification of vulnerabilities. They define the area without missing much in technical, managerial, and operational point of view. Determining whether the response of the identified vulnerability, and to select a countermeasure for eliminating the vulnerability.

In information security and network management, attacks based on vulnerabilities have grown in importance. Malicious attackers break into hosts using a variety of techniques. The most common method is to exploit known vulnerabilities. Although patches have long been available for vulnerabilities, system administrators have generally been reluctant to patch their hosts immediately because they perceive the patches to be annoying and complex. To solve these problems, we propose a security vulnerability evaluation and patch framework called PKG-VUL, which evaluates the software installed on hosts to decide whether the hosts are vulnerable and then applies patches to vulnerable hosts. All these operations are accomplished by the widely used simple network management protocol (SNMP). Therefore, system administrators can easily manage their vulnerable hosts through PKG-VUL included in the SNMP-based network management systems as a module. The evaluation results demonstrate the applicability of PKG-VUL and its performance in terms of devised criteria.

As information security becomes more important as the fourth industrial revolution gradually emerges, an efficient and effective way to find vulnerabilities in information systems is becoming an essential requirement of information security. As the point of the protection of current information and the protection of the future industry, the Korean government has paid attention to the bug bounty, which has been recognized for its efficiency and effectiveness and has implemented through the Korea Internet Security Agency's S/W vulnerability bug bounty program. However, there are growing problems about the S/W vulnerability bug bounty program of the Korea Internet Security Agency, which has been operating for about 7 years. The purpose of this study is to identify the problems in Korean bug bounty policies through the characteristics of the bug bounty program, and to suggest the direction of the government's policy to activate the bug bounty like changes in the government's approach utilizing the market.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the behavioral factors affecting the security attitude and intention to use biometrics password based on the protection motivation theory. This study also investigates security awareness training to understand trust, privacy, and security vulnerability regarding biometric authentication password. This empirical analysis reveals security awareness training boosts the protection motivational factors that affect on the behavior and intention of using biometric authentication passwords. This study also indicates that biometric authentication passwords can be used when the overall belief in a biometric system is present. After all, security awareness training enhances the belief of biometric passwords and increase the motivation to protect security threats. The study will provide insights into protecting security vulnerability with security awareness training.

WiBro(Wireless Broadband) service is the world standardized fourth-generation communications in Korea. The services through internet-based applications using WiBro communication-based is increasing. WiBro service in the Internet-based applications when using the service, the application may need to analyze the vulnerability. In this paper, we use the Internet when in WiBro service, to analyze the vulnerability. And, Internet-based applications for vulnerabilities that could lead to hacker attacks is analyzed. It will be studied that security measures through analysis of vulnerability of WiBro services and applications.

Security issues arise due to various types of external intrusions as much as the rapidly changing IT environment. Attacks using vulnerabilities in web applications are increasing, and companies are trying to find the cause of the vulnerability, prevent external intrusion, and protect their systems and important information. Especially, according to the Supervision Regulation, each financial institution and electronic financial service provider shall perform vulnerability analysis evaluation for the website for disclosure once every six months and report the result to the Financial Services Commission. In this study, based on the Web vulnerability items defined in the Supervision Regulation, based on the inspection cases of actual financial institution, we analyze the most frequently occurring items and propose effective countermeasures against them and ways to prevent them from occurring in advance.

We proposed a new scoring system on software vulnerabilities, which calculates quantitatively the severity of software vulnerabilities. The proposed scoring system consists of metrics for vulnerability severity and scoring equations; the metrics are designed to measure the severity of a software vulnerability considering the prevalence of the vulnerability, the risk level of the vulnerability, the domestic market share of the software and the frequency of the software. We applied the proposed scoring system to domestically reported software vulnerabilities, and discussed the effectiveness of the scoring system, comparing it with CVSS and CWSS. We also suggested the prospective utilization areas of the proposed scoring system.

The automatic payment process of mobile phone micropayment system has not checked user's authentication. That is the structural vulnerability of mobile phone micropayment system. The malicious contents provider can cheat users and payment gateway through abusing the structural vulnerability. The payment gateway applies standard payment module after August, 2012 in order to solve the problem. But the standard payment module also has the vulnerability that makes damage of users. So the purpose of this paper is to suggest efficient improvement of standard payment module for user protection.
