A novel security information and event management system for enhancing cyber security in a hydroelectric dam

Security information and event management (SIEM) systems are increasingly used to cope with the security challenges involved in critical infrastructure protection. However, these systems have several limitations. This paper describes an enhanced security information and event management system that (i) resolves conflicts between security policies; (ii) discovers unauthorized network data paths and appropriately reconfigures network devices; and (iii) provides an intrusion- and fault-tolerant storage system that ensures the integrity and non-forgeability of stored events. The performance of the enhanced system is demonstrated using a case study involving a hydroelectric dam. The case study considers an attack model that affects portions of the information technology infrastructure of the hydroelectric dam and demonstrates that the security information and event management system is successfully able to detect and respond to attacks.

Economical Improvements by Analysing & Enhancing Cyber Security in Small and Medium-Sized Businesses (SMBs)

The objective of this paper is to investigate and enhance the safety aspects of net service delivery to small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and also the policy and restrictive implications of cyber security within the ‘fragmented’ structural surroundings in an exceedingly developing economy. The ever present interconnectivity provides the first passage for exploiting vulnerabilities on a widespread basis; Medium Enterprises (SMBs) sector is crucial in terms of economic process in developing economies. The ever present net permeates each aspect of human endeavour, not solely to the technologically developed countries, however additionally more and more current in developing countries. Although some argue that the pace of the expansion of the computer network ought to continue while no governmental restrictions are there, others, from another point of view, argue that these connectivities ought to be actively regulated through domestic and international laws. The latter thinks that non-regulation of the computer network may have grave cyber-security issues which are probably going to inhibit this growth and development gains. This analysis analysed the assorted policies and frameworks in respect of secured interconnectivity, adherence to governance, risk and compliance problems in an exceedingly best-practice fashion. Inferential analysis reveals that there is a unit in some cyber-security implications on SMBs in an exceedingly fragmented policy and restrictive surroundings. The findings of area unit are mentioned and taken to produce highlights of those policies and restrictive challenges.

Viral Warfare: The Security Implications of Cyber and Biological Weapons

Since the beginning of the twenty-first century, two new threats have received increased attention: biological warfare (BW) and cyber warfare. While it may appear that these two threats have little in common, they share several characteristics that have significant implications for international security. This article examines the two modalities side-by-side to review these common characteristics. In light of these commonalities and due to the extensive experience and rich history of dealing with BW threats, strategies for enhancing cyber security could advance more quickly by drawing meaningful insights from the biological warfare experience, such as the prospect of developing constraining international norms.
