Despite the availability of advanced security software and hardware mechanisms available, still, there has been a breach in the defence system of an organization or individual. Social engineering mostly targets the weakest link in the security system i.e. “Humans” for gaining access to sensitive information by manipulating human psychology. Social engineering attacks are arduous to defend as such attacks are not easily detected by available security software or hardware. This article surveys recent studies on social engineering attacks with discussion on the social engineering phases and categorizing the various attacks into two groups. The main aim of this survey is to examine the various social engineering attacks on individuals and countermeasures against social engineering attacks are also discussed.

A news agency is an organization that gathers news reports and sells them to subscribing news organization, such as newspapers, magazines, radio and television broadcasters. A news agency may also be referred to as a wire service, newswire, or news service. The main purpose of this paper is to evaluate the security policies and analyze the content of five press agencies in gulf countries which are (Kuwait News Agency (KUNA), Emirates News Agency (WAM), Saudi Press Agency (SPA), Bahrain News Agency (BNA), and Oman News Agency (OMA)) by using a fuzzy VIKOR approach where linguistic variables are applied to solve the uncertainties and subjectivities in expert decision making. Fuzzy VIKOR approach is one of the best Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) techniques working in fuzzy environment. This study benefits security and content analysis experts know which press agency has the mandate and the competence to educate the public on news agencies. Besides, this paper contributes to Gulf agencies in helping them in their resolve to ensure the quality of content information and information security policies over the internet.

The network-based intrusion detection has become common to evaluate machine learning algorithms. Although the KDD Cup’99 Dataset has class imbalance over different intrusion classes, still it plays a significant role to evaluate machine learning algorithms. In this work, we utilize the singular valued decomposition technique for feature dimension reduction. We further reconstruct the features form reduced features and the selected eigenvectors. The reconstruction loss is used to decide the intrusion class for a given network feature. The intrusion class having the smallest reconstruction loss is accepted as the intrusion class in the network for that sample. The proposed system yield 97.90% accuracy on KDD Cup’99 dataset for the stated task. We have also analyzed the system with individual intrusion categories separately. This analysis suggests having a system with the ensemble of multiple classifiers; therefore we also created a random forest classifier. The random forest classifier performs significantly better than the SVD based system. The random forest classifier achieves 99.99% accuracy for intrusion detection on the same training and testing data set.
基于网络的入侵检测已经成为评估机器学习算法的常用方法。尽管KDD Cup ' 99数据集在不同入侵类之间存在类不平衡,但它在评估机器学习算法方面仍发挥着重要作用。在这项工作中,我们利用奇异值分解技术进行特征降维。我们进一步通过约简特征和选择的特征向量重构特征。利用重构损失来确定给定网络特征的入侵类别。对于该样本,接受重构损失最小的入侵类作为网络中的入侵类。该系统在KDD Cup ' 99数据集上的准确率为97.90%。我们还对系统进行了单独的入侵分类分析。这种分析建议使用一个由多个分类器集成的系统;因此,我们还创建了一个随机森林分类器。随机森林分类器的性能明显优于基于SVD的系统。在相同的训练和测试数据集上,随机森林分类器的入侵检测准确率达到99.99%。

There have been a lot of research exertions and studies to improve the safety of critical infrastructures using the Security Operations Center (SOC). As part of efforts, the purpose of this research is to propose a framework to automate the SOC’s performance of triage, containment and escalation. The research leveraged on qualitative desk review to collect data for analysis, deduced strengths and weaknesses for the current SOC implementations and used that as a basis for proposing the framework. In view of the constant evolution of SOC operations and capabilities coupled with the huge volumes of data collected for analysis, an efficient framework for SOC operations is proposed. The qualitative analysis is used to deduce strengths and weaknesses for the current SOC implementations as a premise for proposing the framework. It consists of eight interactive stages that further leverage on a proposed algorithm for baselining, remediation and escalation. The result of this research is a proposed framework that serves as a unique contribution to enhancing the SOC’s ability to automatically perform triage, containment and escalation. Supplementary to similar and earlier work reviewed, the framework is proposed as the way forward to automatically enable SOC setups with the capacity to efficiently perform triage of security threats, vulnerabilities and incidents, effectively contain identified breaches and appropriately escalate for prompt and accurate solutions.

Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is a comprehensive information security framework for providing secure information and communication over the internet. Its need and use has grown over the years and continually grows. This research work examines the current PKI framework’s validation process as operated by vendors and subscribers to identify the drawbacks and propose enhanced approaches to its validation mechanism. Using an approach of reviewing secondary data, critical weaknesses of integrity, proof of trust and single point-of-failure were identified with the current PKI framework. This study therefore advances proposed solutions to address the identified weaknesses by specifically introducing multiple Certificate Authorities, storage, visibility and searchability of subscriber information in public repository. A comprehensive detail of its implementation is proposed to address the identified weaknesses of uncertain integrity, trust for certificate authorities and prevent a single point of failure. Furthermore, the proposed enhancements are validated with the protection motivation theory and a framework for empirically testing the enhancements is suggested. Further research would be required to factor in multi-factor authentication without compromising performance.

The purpose of this research was to determine whether the Linear Regression Analysis can be effectively applied to the prioritization of defense-in-depth security tools and procedures to reduce cyber threats during the Global Corona Virus Pandemic. The way this was determined or methods used in this study consisted of scanning 20 peer reviewed Cybersecurity Articles from prominent Cybersecurity Journals for a list of defense in depth measures (tools and procedures) and the threats that those measures were designed to reduce. The methods further involved using the Likert Scale Model to create an ordinal ranking of the measures and threats. The defense in depth tools and procedures were then compared to see whether the Likert scale and Linear Regression Analysis could be effectively applied to prioritize and combine the measures to reduce pandemic related cyber threats. The results of this research reject the H0 null hypothesis that Linear Regression Analysis does not affect the relationship between the prioritization and combining of defense in depth tools and procedures (independent variables) and pandemic related cyber threats (dependent variables).

The security assurance of computer-based systems that rely on safety and security assurance, such as consistency, durability, efficiency and accessibility, require or need resources. This targets the System-of-Systems (SoS) problems with the exception of difficulties and concerns that apply similarly to subsystem interactions on a single system and system-as-component interactions on a large information system. This research addresses security and information assurance for safety-critical systems, where security and safety are addressed before going to actual implementation/development phase for component-based systems. For this purpose, require a conceptual idea or strategy that deals with the application logic security assurance issues. This may explore the vulnerability in single component or a reuse of specification in existing logic in component-based system. Keeping in view this situation, we have defined seven concepts of security assurance and security assurance design strategy for safety-critical systems.

Cloud computing plays a very important role in the development of business and competitive edge for many organisations including SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises). Every cloud user continues to expect maximum service, and a critical aspect to this is cloud security which is one among other specific challenges hindering adoption of the cloud technologies. The absence of appropriate, standardised and self-assessing security frameworks of the cloud world for SMEs becomes an endless problem in developing countries and can expose the cloud computing model to major security risks which threaten its potential success within the country. This research presents a security framework for assessing security in the cloud environment based on the Goal Question Metrics methodology. The developed framework produces a security index that describes the security level accomplished by an evaluated cloud computing environment thereby providing the first line of defence. This research has concluded with an eight-step framework that could be employed by SMEs to assess the information security in the cloud. The most important feature of the developed security framework is to devise a mechanism through which SMEs can have a path of improvement along with understanding of the current security level and defining desired state in terms of security metric value.

The need for SIEM (Security Information and even Management) systems increased in the last years. Many companies seek to reinforce their security capabilities to better safeguard against cybersecurity threats, so they adopt multi-layered security strategies that include using a SIEM solution. However, implementing a SIEM solution is not just an installation phase that fits any scenario within any organization; the best SIEM system for an organization may not be suitable at all for another one. An organization should consider other factors along with the technical side when evaluating a SIEM solution. This paper proposes an approach to aid enterprises, in selecting an applicable SIEM. It starts by suggesting the requirements that should be addressed in a SIEM using a systematic way, and then proposes a methodology for evaluating SIEM solutions that measures the compliance and applicability of any SIEM solution. This approach aims to support companies that are seeking to adopt SIEM systems into their environments, suggesting suitable answers to preferred requirements that are believed to be valuable prerequisites an SIEM system should have; and to suggest criteria to judge SIEM systems using an evaluation process composed of quantitative and qualitative methods. This approach, unlike others, is customer driven which means that customer needs are taken into account when following the whole approach, specifically when defining the requirements and then evaluating the suppliers’ solutions.

With the systematization of cyber threats, the variety of intrusion tools and intrusion methods has greatly reduced the cost of attackers’ threats to network security. Due to a large number of colleges and universities, teachers and students are highly educated and the Internet access rate is nearly 100%. The social status makes the university network become the main target of threat. The traditional defense method cannot cope with the current complex network attacks. In order to solve this problem, the threat intelligence sharing platform based on various threat intelligence sharing standards is established, which STIX and TAXII It is a widely used sharing standard in various sharing platforms. This paper analyzes the existing standards of STIX and TAXII, improves the STIX and TAXII standards based on the analysis results, and proposes a new type of STIX and TAXII based on the improved results. The standard design scheme of threat intelligence sharing platform suitable for college network environment features. The experimental results show that the threat intelligence sharing platform designed in this paper can be effectively applied to the network environment of colleges and universities.
