Prevention Of Security Threats Research Articles

A Systematic Literature Review of Information Security in Chatbots

Chatbots have become increasingly popular in recent years, but they also present security risks and vulnerabilities that need to be addressed. This systematic literature review examines the existing research relating to information security in chatbots, identifying the potential threats, proposed solutions, and future directions for research. The review finds that chatbots face various security threats, including malicious input, user profiling, contextual attacks, and data breaches, and that solutions such as blockchain technology, end-to-end encryption, and organizational controls can be used to mitigate these concerns. The review also highlights the importance of maintaining user trust and addressing privacy concerns for the successful adoption and continued use of chatbots. A taxonomy developed in this review provides a useful framework for categorizing the articles and their findings. The review concludes by identifying future research directions that include developing more sophisticated authentication and authorization mechanisms, exploring the use of privacy-enhancing technologies, and improving the detection and prevention of security threats, among others. This review contributes to the growing body of literature on information security in chatbots and can guide future research and practice in this field.

Uticaj sistema nacionalne bezbednosti na prevenciju bezbednosnih pretnji u republici srbiji - stavovi srednjoškolaca

The paper presents the results of research regarding the attitudes of secondary school students in the Republic of Serbia to the impact of the national security system on the prevention of security threats. The research is based on the method of a semi-structured questionnaire, which includes questions about the influence of the police, army, and intelligence services on the prevention of various security threats. The results of the research show that secondary school students perceive the police as a key subject of the national security system, considering the contribution to the prevention of security threats. The police are followed by the military, as the second most important entity, while the intelligence services are perceived as the entity that with the least pronounced impact on the prevention of security threats. Secondary school students perceive corruption, media propaganda, drug abuse, and crime as the predominant security threats, which extremely or to a great extent threaten security.

Post-Ebola Awakening: Urgent Call for Investing in Maintaining Effective Preparedness Capacities at the National and Regional Levels in Sub-Saharan Africa

Background: The 2014 Ebola outbreak reminded us of the importance of preparedness for addressing security threats. Learning from this experience, we aim to (1) enhance the understanding of preparedness by policy and decision makers, (2) discuss opportunities for Africa to invest in the prevention of security threats, (3) highlight the value of in preventing security threats, and (4) propose innovations to enhance investments for the prevention or containment of security threats at the source. Methods: We used observations of governments’ attitudes towards in preparedness for security prevention or containment at the source. We conducted a literature review through PubMed, the World Wide Web, and Mendeley using the keywords: health emergency financing, investing in threats prevention, and stopping outbreaks at the source. Results: Countries in sub-Saharan Africa invest inadequately towards building and maintaining critical capacities for preventing, detecting, and containing outbreaks at the source. Global security emergency funding schemes target responses to outbreaks but neglect their prevention. Governments are not absorbing and maintaining adequately capacity built through GHS, World Bank, and development aid projects – a lost opportunity for building and retaining outbreak prevention capacity. Recommendations: Governments should (1) allocate adequate national budgets for honouring the Abuja and related commitments; (2) own and maintain capacities developed through International Development Aids, OH networks, research consortia and projects; (3) establish a regional security threats prevention fund. The global community and scientists should (1) consider broadening existing emergency funds to finance the prevention and containment outbreaks at the source and (2) Strengthen economic analyses and case studies as incentives for governments’ budget allocations to prevent security threats.
