Deep learning-based authentication for insider threat detection in critical infrastructure

In today’s cyber environment, threats such as data breaches, cyberattacks, and unauthorized access threaten national security, critical infrastructure, and financial stability. This research addresses the challenging task of protecting critical infrastructure from insider threats because of the high level of trust and access these individuals typically receive. Insiders may obtain a system administrator’s password through close observation or by deploying software to gather the information. To solve this issue, an innovative artificial intelligence-based methodology is proposed to identify a user by their password’s keystroke dynamics. This paper also introduces a new Gabor Filter Matrix Transformation method to transform numerical values into images by revealing the behavioral pattern of password typing. A siamese neural network (SNN) with the branches of convolutional neural networks is utilized for image comparison, aiming to detect unauthorized attempts to access critical infrastructure systems. The network analyzes the unique features of a user’s password timestamps transformed into images and compares them with previously submitted user passwords. The obtained results indicate that transforming the numerical values of keystroke dynamics into images and training an SNN leads to a lower equal error rate (EER) and higher user authentication accuracy than those previously reported in other studies. The methodology is validated on publicly available keystroke dynamics collections, the CMU and GREYC-NISLAB datasets, which collectively comprise over 30,000 password samples. It achieves the lowest EER value of 0.04545 compared to state-of-the-art methods for transforming non-image data into images. The paper concludes with a discussion of findings and potential future directions.

The results of the face validity broadly supports the effectiveness and usability of the CEMT, providing justification for industry research trials of the CEMT.

ISSUES OF DEVELOPMENT OF COOPERATION BETWEEN THE USA AND RUSSIA IN THE SPHERE OF INTERNATIONAL INFORMATION SECURITY

The article presents an analysis of cyber threats implemented against Russia and the United States, and also examines possible dangers in the field of international information security within the framework of the current global political situation. The author has explored the history of the development of approaches of the Russian Federation and the United States of America to ensuring state security in the cyber environment. An analysis of the problems of international information security is carried out using the example of bilateral relations between the United States and Russia, both in the historical context and in the current international political situation. US policy is aimed at independently identifying and holding accountable for cyberattacks the state from whose territory, in their opinion, the threat came. And due to the difficulties in detecting attackers in practice, this approach is prone to abuse. While Russia proposes to investigate each situation individually and hold the instigators and perpetrators accountable. And due to the fact that currently there is no mechanism for crisis resolution of conflict situations in the ICT environment and uniform international standards for resolving cyber conflicts, the option proposed by Russia seems to the author more promising.

Arranging the Defence of the Cyber Environment as a Part of Military Affairs: Tactical, Operational and Strategic approach in retrospect of The Russian - Ukrainian War 2022

The artificial cyber environment has reached national security interest and emerged as the fourth domain of battle in the military concept of all-domain operations in most Western armed forces and coalitions in the past 30 years. Currently, militaries are struggling to keep up with cybercriminals and advanced persistent actors while trying to gain an advantage of their data and digital infrastructure. The paper focuses on military affairs' ways and means to address the need for cyber warriors operating in friendly, neutral, and hostile cyber environments integrated under Multi-Domain Operations. The paper uses design research methodology to create and test a model for cyber defence capabilities generation and utilisation. The theoretical reference to military affairs is based on Beer's Viable System Model and previous studies of military organisations' evolution as capability generators. The military and societal cyber environment evolution model is based on industrial revolutions and current tendencies. These approaches define a hypothetical model for two main functions of military affairs (force generation and utilisation) concerning cyber defence capabilities. The fast evolution of cyber threats sets unique requirements for cyber force utilisation and generation structures. This difference has culminated in a recent war between Russia and Ukraine, and data from that conflict is used to test the hypothetical model. The rapid evolution of the cyber environment and its weaponisation establish different requirements for military cyber capabilities compared to any other operational dimension or capability (space, air, land, or maritime). The difference is evident in sourcing resources, generating capabilities, and using them in Multi-Domain Operations. The paper provides a tested model for generating cyber defence capabilities at a strategic level and an operation model for cyber defence at a tactical and operational level. The designed model extends the technically oriented cybersecurity thinking with operational and strategic levels. Furthermore, the model introduces the value stream behind the cyber capability acquisition and supports strategic designers in national and military analysis.

Cognitive Security in a Changing World: Citizen Perceptions During Finland's NATO Joining Process

Contemporary conflicts are multifaceted and no longer fit the traditional war-and-peace dichotomy due to digital dimensions and the role of the human mind. The concept of warfare has transformed significantly: it's no longer solely reliant on physical capabilities but increasingly fought within digital environments and individuals' minds. These persistent, intertwined crises and psychological information influence present challenges to cognitive security. Psychological influence shapes opinions, attitudes, emotions, behaviors, and decision-making in individuals, groups, and societies using various methods, often involving digital tools to manipulate cognitive processes. It aims to shape the human mind, going beyond altering information to influence how the human brain processes received information. To safeguard human cognition, cognitive security is crucial. It involves the capability to detect, recognize, control, and counter negative psychological information influence aimed at an individual. Cognitive security plays a critical role in enabling individuals and society to recognize, understand, and manage a wide range of threats and risks. The rapidly changing world, driven by technology, politics, and the environment, poses new challenges for citizens' cognitive security. As warfare evolves, individuals struggle to understand the complex threats, including cyber and information influence. Hence, this study aims to ascertain whether individuals' feeling of security has changed and if they are perceiving psychological information influence. The study investigates the sense of security among Finnish people using survey data collected during two significant time periods: after Finland announced its intention to join NATO (N = 1080) and after it officially became a NATO member (N = 1047). Additionally, whether an increase in hostile online influence and disruptions in the cyber environment was noticed by Finnish people during these same time frames is being investigated. The results indicate a statistically significant decrease in the feeling of security and a significant increase in the awareness of hostile influences. This implies that these phenomena warrant further investigation to gain a better understanding of citizens' cognitive security status and to explore ways to improve it.

By fostering a holistic approach that emphasizes both technological advancement and ethical responsibility, organizations can better navigate the complexities of modern cyber environments while enhancing their overall security posture

Extending (UTAUT2) to examine the utilization of mobile food-sharing apps and online platforms for the reduction of household food waste

PurposeThe study aimed to investigate the relationship between the intention to avoid food waste (IAFW) and the use of food-sharing technologies, such as internet platforms and mobile applications. The study utilized a model based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB) as an extension of the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT2).Design/methodology/approachAn online platform tool (Prolific), and online self-report questionnaires were used to gather empirical data on 309 individuals. These data were then analyzed using two-step structural equation modeling.FindingsThe model explained 76% of the variance in user adoption of food-sharing mobile applications and internet platforms, supporting seven out of the nine tested hypotheses. Effort expectancy, social influence and IAFW were found to be the significant determinants of the behavioural intention to use food-sharing mobile applications and internet platforms (BITA). IAFW partially mediated the relationship between perceived behavior control and BITA. Age played a moderator role between the adoption of food-sharing mobile applications and internet platforms. However, IAFW did not play a mediating role between environmental concerns and BITA. The facilitating condition construct had an insignificant impact on BITA.Research limitations/implicationsThe current study was affected by some limitations. First, the data may not be considered as statistically representative because they were gathered online. However, the varied sociodemographic backgrounds of the respondents would boost the reliability of the findings. However, it would be prudent to use caution when extrapolating these findings to other contexts and cultures. Second, environmental concerns and perceived behavior control related to the avoidance of food waste behavior, as well as other factors that affect technology acceptance, may alter with time. Data from cross-sections may cause difficulties in following such changes. Thus, we recommend that longitudinal research studies aimed at building on our findings should be conducted. A qualitative study may help gain deeper insights into the relationship between IAFW related behavior and the adoption of various technologies to share leftover food, thereby revealing further details regarding different perspectives held by various respondents.Practical implicationsThe positive relationship between environmental concerns and IAFW underlines the significance of investing in this area to raise social awareness and public concern for environmental safety. Additional initiatives aimed at increasing public concern regarding environmental issues may increase the overall IAFW. Instead of concentrating on a single source pertaining to the avoidance of food waste, the government and policy regulations should focus on regulating and eliminating waste from all sources that generate waste. The adoption of technology to share leftover meals may be influenced by social factors. Increased advertising for food-sharing mobile apps and online platforms may persuade more users to join. Additionally, building additional platforms and mobile apps in these fields with friendlier interactions may improve the cyber environment, making it easier for people to use them. By providing information, tools and assistance to promote the reduction of food wastage, policymakers may create interventions that enhance public perception and behavior toward the reduction of food waste. In conclusion, the findings of our study indicated that the social impact and ease of use are important factors in determining the adoption of food-sharing technology. Cooperation with social influencers, policymakers and developers may lead to the development of user-friendly technology that may improve accessibility to food-sharing technology.Social implicationsIn order to encourage the adoption of food-sharing technology among various age groups, policymakers may create initiatives that take the specific requirements and traits of each group into consideration. Policymakers and governments may also create legislation and regulations that are tailored to guarantee food safety and health security for users of food-sharing technology, such as instructions for handling and storing food as well as safeguards against food fraud and contamination.Originality/valueThis study addressed practical issues related to managing and reducing household food wastage through social sharing via mobile applications and internet platforms. The proposed model, which integrated TPB with UTAUT2 in the context of food wastage and technology acceptance, contributes to the current body of knowledge.

In addition, the article proposes non-penal policy alternatives, such as religious and moral approaches, in addressing cybercrime. However, obstacles such as the lack of public understanding of the ITE Law and limited infrastructure and human resources in the police cyber unit were also identified. By understanding these challenges, it is hoped that law enforcement against cybercrime can be improved to create a safer and more ethical cyber environment.

A conceptual framework for mobile-based cyberbullying-related youth suicide risk screening and intervention

ABSTRACT The prevalence of cyberbullying and related suicide rate increases among youth demand a proactive and systematic response. This paper proposes a mobile-based Framework for Youth Suicide Screening and intervention (YSSI) to address the issue of youth suicide within the cyber environment. It draws on Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory to understand the developmental stages of youth and employs Durkheim’s concept of anomic suicide to frame suicide due to cyberbullying as a social fact that extends beyond individual problems. Additionally, the framework invokes Friedrich Engels’ concept of social murder to highlight the urgent social responsibility of preventing youth suicide. The YSSI framework is designed for early detection and intervention, with mobile technology as a primary tool. It encompasses four stages: Stage 1 (Warning Signs), Stage 2 (Assessment), Stage 3 (Intervention), and Stage 4 (Follow-up). This framework emphasizes the critical role of community and family engagement in addressing youth suicide in the digital era. This engagement aims to provide support and guidance to youth, thereby strengthening their resilience to adversity associated with cyberbullying. In alignment with the objectives of the Grand Challenge for Social Work Initiative (GCSWI), the YSSI framework is dedicated to mitigating the negative effects of cyberbullying through collaborative social engagement and fostering a critical discourse on youth mental health and cyber well-being.
