2. Impact of Cyber Security Threats on Business and Government
People and organizations are now more vulnerable to external attacks due to increased Internet use. In fact, most of the information systems, spyware, viruses, social engineering etc. It is affected by cybercrime in the form of various forms of malicious attacks, such as The need for a more intuitive and automated system-level approach. It is the starting point of this study, which aims to determine the general characteristics of the security of an information system. In this article, we take our EAS-SGR framework designed to address security issues in IT governance systems and apply it to practice in cyberspace, with a focus on cybercrime. Our mission is to help governments, businesses and others reduce their vulnerabilities to acceptable levels by implementing a cybersecurity action plan.
3. Big Data and Cybersecurity: Challenges and Solutions
Big Data is boosting up in every field of research, and it has almost no untouched area. Thus, Big Data has taken further strides in the data-intensive computing field to boost the performance of organizations. Big Data Analytics (BDA) is a logical analysis of very large-scale datasets to gain insight and facts about the analyzed data sets. In addition, the BDA is used in the Big Data Security field for several reasons. Moreover, Big Data analytics is merged with Big Data Security which results in another research direction, called Big Data Security Analytics (BDSA). The BDSA poses several research issues and challenges. In this paper, we present a study report on Big Data Security Analytics.
4. Cyber Security for Smart Grid System
The conversion of conventional energy networks to smart grids transforms the energy industry into accuracy, performance and willingness by providing two-way communications to control, detect and control power-flow calculations. Hence communication networks in smart grids lead to growth and are associated with increased severe security, vulnerabilities and protests. Smart grids are the major aim of cyberterrorism because of their critical nature. Accordingly, smart grid security has previously got much attention from the government, energy industries and utilizers. To date, many research efforts for developing a smart grid system. This article gives information about challenges and perspectives regarding smart grid security systems, where we mostly focus on difficulties and proposed solutions. Then we contour the current state of analysis and future perspectives with this term paper, so readers can get a more thorough understanding of the smart grid security system.
5. Designing Cyber Insurance Policies: The Role of Pre-Screening and Security Interdependence
Cyber insurance is a viable method for cyber risk transfer. However, it has been shown that depending on the features of the underlying environment, it may or may not improve the state of network security. In this paper, we consider a single profit-maximizing insurer (principal) with voluntarily participating insureds/clients (agents). We are particularly interested in two distinct features of cyber security and their impact on the contract design problem. The first is the interdependent nature of cyber security, whereby one entity’s state of security depends not only on its own investment and effort but also on the efforts of others in the same ecosystem (i.e. externalities). The second is the fact that recent advances in Internet measurement combined with machine learning techniques now allow us to perform accurate quantitative assessments of security posture at a firm level. This can be used as a tool to perform an initial security audit, or prescreening, of a prospective client to better enable premium discrimination and the design of customized policies. We show that security interdependency leads to a “profit opportunity” for the insurer, created by the inefficient effort levels exerted by interdependent agents who do not account for the risk externalities when insurance is not available; this is in addition to risk transfer that an insurer typically profits from. Security pre-screening then allows the insurer to take advantage of this additional profit opportunity by designing the appropriate contracts that incentivize agents to increase their effort levels, allowing the insurer to “sell commitment” to interdependent agents, in addition to ensuring their risks. We identify conditions under which this type of contract leads to not only increased profit for the principal but also an improved state of network security.
6. A Survey on the Status of Cyber Security during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Cyber security today has never had a more crucial role to play than keeping mission-critical organizations and agencies safe from cyber-attacks, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. The rapid, prevalent adoption of work-from-home has put considerable strain on cyber security from both security experts and employees. In this paper we survey cyber security status based on three major study points: First are the tools that enable work from home second Cyber Security threats during the pandemic and lastly Security measures for maintaining security requirements such as confidentiality, integrity, availability and privacy. This study also longitudinally looks at the new normal technology adoptions for, employee-employer engagement approaches, and digital business process changes that are profoundly effective for business continuity after the COVID-19 pandemic.
7. Cyberspace Activities Awareness and Security Strategies in Tertiary Institutions in Nigeria
This study attempts to examine the activity, awareness and measures being adopted by staff and students in tertiary institutions to overcome the cybersecurity challenges. A total of one hundred and twenty (120) staff and students were sampled from three different tertiary institutions in Owerri-Imo State, Nigeria using a random sampling technique. A structured questionnaire was used as data data-collecting instrument. The views representing the opinions of the respondents were sought on issues of cyberspace activity, security awareness and strategies adopted by staff and students. Concerning activity in cyberspace, there is a variation of engagement by respondents. On the cyberspace activities engaged, the majority of the respondents, 82% of the population claimed that they were involved in Google search. When asked about their awareness of certain educational cybercrimes, the majority, 89%, claimed to be aware of spamming. Most of the staff and students sampled on security awareness responded that they are familiar with some threats used to steal and leak their information and identity. However, all of the biggest cybercrimes the education sector has been battling recently like phishing, ransomware and DDoS which have been used to attack schools regularly are not that popular among the staff and students. A very important revelation from this study was that issues related to cybercrime are not being reported to law enforcement agents by staff and students of tertiary institutions. This poses a great danger to the fight against cybercrime. All the users of Information Technology (IT) facilities in tertiary institutions should be educated on the risk of cyber-attacks and how to manage it. This includes reporting to law enforcement agencies. It is recommended that the government and the authorities of tertiary institutions in Nigeria introduce cyber security law as part of the courses to be taken. The network users should be made to know their roles and responsibilities in ensuring a safe and efficient cyber pace.
