Abstract:

To be able to protect an organisation's resources, it is important to understand what there is to protect and what to protect it from. The first step is to try to analyse the security threats that exist against an organisation's resources to explore the risks. Threats have to be identified, for the organisation to protect its resources and find where the optimal placement against threats is. This thesis analysis whether it is possible to obtain a Threat Tree Analysis that is useful for developing an information security policy for the municipality in Ronneby, using the SS 62 77 99-1

Abstract:

With the emergence of multimedia applications and the upcoming age of Voice over IP (VoIP), Voice setup and resources control protocols such as SIP and H.323 over the Internet are becoming increasingly attractive applications. In the last few years as a real competitor in traditional telephony services (PSTN), SIP has gained much attention when compared with H.323. SIP works at presentation and application layer thus it mainly faces security issue at these layers. The objective of this thesis is to describe the most relevant SIP related security issues and then present security mechanisms that

As cloud computing has become a trend in the computing world, understanding its security concerns becomes essential for improving service quality and expanding business scale. This dissertation studies the security issues in a public cloud from three aspects. First, we investigate a new threat called power attack in the cloud. Second, we perform a systematical measurement on the public cloud to understand how cloud vendors react to existing security threats. Finally, we propose a novel technique to perform data reduction on audit data to improve system capacity, and hence helping to enhance se

Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of communication devices or nodes that wish to communicate without any fixed infrastructure and pre-determined organization of available links. The nodes in MANET themselves are responsible for dynamically discovering other nodes to communicate. Although the ongoing trend is to adopt ad hoc networks for commercial uses due to their certain unique properties, the main challenge is the vulnerability to security attacks. A number of challenges like open peer-to-peer network architecture, stringent resource constraints, shared wireless medium, dynamic

Entities, connections, and message flows in these services are investigated and synthesized into a vehicle network structure. The 25 services are divided into six use cases including: infotainment service, remote monitoring, device control

We live today in the information age with users being able to access and share information freely by using both personal computers and their handheld devices.

However, this poses security risks as attempts are made to use this same environment in order to compromise the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information. Accordingly, there is an urgent need for users and organisations to protect their information resources from agents posing a security threat.

Although side-channel attacks have been known for a long time, these changes made them practical on shared hardware systems.

We first unveil a new vulnerability called reduced cooling redundancy that might be exploited to launch thermal attacks, resulting in severely worsened thermal conditions in a data center.

There has been a good amount of engaging work on the MI. However this extant literature has not undertaken detailed policy analysis of the aid programme, leading to conclusions that it is a fresh approach to the Mexican counternarcotics (CN) challenge, or that CN is a ‘fig leaf’ for the U.S.

Organizations are taking computer security more seriously every day, investing huge amounts of money in creating stronger defenses including firewalls, anti-virus software, biometrics and identity access badges. These measures have made the business world more effective at blocking threats from the outside, and made it increasingly difficult for hackers or viruses to penetrate systems. But there are still threats that put organizations at risk , this threats are not necessary from external attackers, in this paper we will analyze what are the internal threats in organizations, why are we vulne

Abstract:

Currently governments and research communities are concentrating on insider threat matters more than ever, the main reason for this is that the effect of a malicious insider threat is greater than before. Moreover, leaks and the selling of the mass data have become easier, with the use of the dark web. Malicious insiders can leak confidential data while remaining anonymous. Our approach describes the information gained by looking into insider security threats from the multiple perspective concepts that is based on an integrated three-dimensional approach. The three dimensions are human issue,

Abstract:

<p>Client-side computers connected to the Internet today are exposed to a lot malicious activity. Browsing the web can easily result in malware infection even if the user only visits well known and trusted sites. Attackers use website vulnerabilities and ad-networks to expose their malicious code to a large user base. The continuing trend of the attackers seems to be botnet construction that collects large amounts of data which could be a serious threat to company secrets and personal integrity. Meanwhile security researches are using a technology known as honeypots/honeyclients to find and an

Abstract:

The goal of the study is to create a laboratory infrastructure that allows instructors to quickly create virtualized environments for simulating various cyber threats. The testing environment for this demo consists of Windows 10, Ubuntu 16.4, Kali linux and OSSIM. Completed attacks together with potential moves are gathered and put into various attack tree diagrams for analysis so as to find out the most effective attacks against each host.

Abstract:

Communication of confidential data over the internet is becoming more frequent every day. Individuals and organizations are sending their confidential data electronically. It is also common that hackers target these networks. In current times, protecting the data, software and hardware from viruses is, now more than ever, a need and not just a concern. What you need to know about networks these days? How security is implemented to ensure a network? How is security managed? In this paper we will try to address the above questions and give an idea of where we are now standing with the security o

Abstract:

<p> Increasingly, organizations are at risk of data breaches due to corporate insider threats. Insiders, in fact, are the biggest threat to corporate data assets and are evading traditional cybersecurity countermeasures. The volume of big data makes insider threat detection more difficult. Conversely big data security analytics (BDSA) enables the detection of anomalous behavior patterns within large datasets in real time, offering organizations potentially a more effective cybersecurity countermeasure for detecting insider threats. However, there was a gap in the literature about what was know

Abstract:

This thesis explores the interface between the processes of securitizing threats in West African states and their neo-patrimonial statehood. It analyses the securitization processes among the West African elites which arise from their political culture of patronage politics. The securitization-neo-patrimonialism nexus should be understood to encompass every instance of threat perception and construction of same as existential threat to security and economic interests of securitizing actors at national government, sub-regional and extra-African levels. This research builds on the classical lite

Abstract:

<p> Business leaders in Nigeria are concerned about the high rates of business failure and economic loss from security incidents and may not understand strategies for reducing the effects of information security threats on business performance. Guided by general systems theory and transformational leadership theory, the focus of this exploratory multiple case study was to explore the strategies small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) leaders use to minimize the effects of information security threats on business performance. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 5 SME leaders who worke
