An Assessment of Intrusion Detection System IDS and Data Set Overview A Compr...ijtsrd
Millions of people worldwide have Internet access today. Intrusion detection technology is a modern wave of information technology monitoring devices to deter malicious activities. Malware development malicious software is a vital problem when it comes to designing intrusion detection systems IDS . The key challenge is to recognize unknown and hidden malware, because malware writers use various evasion techniques to mask information to avoid IDS detection. Malicious attacks have become more sophisticated and Furthermore, threats to security have increased, including a zero day attack on internet users. Through the use of IT in our daily lives, computer security has become critical. Cyber threats are becoming more complex and pose growing challenges when it comes to successful intrusion detection. Failure to prevent invading information, such as data privacy, integrity and availability can undermine the credibility of security services. Specific intrusion detection approaches were proposed in the literature to combat computer security threats. This paper consists of a literature survey of the IDS that uses program algorithms to use specific data collection and forensic techniques in real time. Data mining techniques for cyber research are introduced in support of intrusion detection. Mohammed I.

CYBER SECURITY TRANDS FOR FUTURE SMART GRID SYSTEMSGeorge Wainblat
SUMMARY - Current power grids increasingly emerging into smart networked grids and are more accessible from the public internet which poses new cyber threats in the grid. More computer based systems are introduced into power networks in order to monitor and control the network. Future model smart grid and micro grid systems will be based on data flows for communication of system status, usage and control throughout the network infrastructure in addition to the power flow. This creates new security threats on the power grid. Instead of relying mainly on power plants for power generation, there will be a combination of multiple generation sources and at the same time wider use of electrical computer based equipment by consumers. Both increase the amount of data flows in the network as well as introduce additional vulnerable spots. Vulnerability of the power grid to cyber-attacks increases even more because of the wide use of SCADA networks. SCADA networks are more accessible to the internet and lack authentication and authorization mechanisms therefore expose the grid to threats such as DDOS, Data interception, Data alteration and additional hacking threats.
The transition from present to future model has already begun and rapidly growing while it already poses new security challenges which must be attended immediately. It is essential to introduce immediately a single comprehensive security solution which will provide fast detection and prevention tools to cope with a variety of threats with different nature and from multiple sources. The solution should not be tightly coupled with each device in the network so it won’t require upgrade of the devices inside the grid.
The Cyber defense solution should be versatile using variety of cyber technologies such as Firewalls, anomaly detection, Big Data analytics, machine learning and more in a network wise combination.
A Collaborative Intrusion Detection System for Cloud Computingijsrd.com
Cloud computing is a computing paradigm that shifts drastically from traditional computing architecture. Although this new computing paradigm brings many advantages like utility computing model but the design in not flawless and hence suffers from not only many known computer vulnerabilities but also introduces unique information confidentiality, integrity and availability risks as well due its inherent design paradigm. To provide secure and reliable services in cloud computing environment is an important issue. To counter a variety of attacks, especially large-scale coordinated attacks, a framework of Collaborative Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is proposed. The proposed system could reduce the impact of these kinds of attacks through providing timely notifications about new intrusions to Cloud users' systems. To provide such ability, IDSs in the cloud computing regions both correlate alerts from multiple elementary detectors and exchange knowledge of interconnected Clouds with each other.
The Next Generation Cognitive Security Operations Center: Network Flow Forens...Konstantinos Demertzis
A Security Operations Center (SOC) can be defined as an organized and highly skilled team that uses advanced computer forensics tools to prevent, detect and respond to cybersecurity incidents of an organization. The fundamental aspects of an effective SOC is related to the ability to examine and analyze the vast number of data flows and to correlate several other types of events from a cybersecurity perception. The supervision and categorization of network flow is an essential process not only for the scheduling, management, and regulation of the network’s services, but also for attacks identification and for the consequent forensics’ investigations. A serious potential disadvantage of the traditional software solutions used today for computer network monitoring, and specifically for the instances of effective categorization of the encrypted or obfuscated network flow, which enforces the rebuilding of messages packets in sophisticated underlying protocols, is the requirements of computational resources. In addition, an additional significant inability of these software packages is they create high false positive rates because they are deprived of accurate predicting mechanisms.
For all the reasons above, in most cases, the traditional software fails completely to recognize unidentified vulnerabilities and zero-day exploitations. This paper proposes a novel intelligence driven Network Flow Forensics Framework (NF3) which uses low utilization of computing power and resources, for the Next Generation Cognitive Computing SOC (NGC2SOC) that rely solely on advanced fully automated intelligence methods. It is an effective and accurate Ensemble Machine Learning forensics tool to Network Traffic Analysis, Demystification of Malware Traffic and Encrypted Traffic Identification.

Trust based Mechanism for Secure Cloud Computing Environment: A Surveyinventionjournals
Ubiquitous computing has revolutionized interaction of humans and machines. Cloud computing has been mainly used for storing data and various computational purposes. It has changed the face of using the internet. But, as we know every technology has its pros and cons. Securing cloud environment is the most challenging issue for the researchers and developers. Main aspects which cloud security should cover are authentication, authorization, data protection etc. Establishing trust between cloud service providers (CSP) is the biggest challenge, when someone is discussing about cloud security. Trust is a critical factor which mainly depends on perception of reputation and self-assessment done by both user and CSP. The trust model can act as security strength evaluator and ranking service for cloud application and services. For establishing trust relationship between two parties, mutual trust mechanism is reliable, as it does verification from both sides. There are various trust models which mainly focuses on securing one party i.e., they validate either user or service node. In this survey paper, the study of various trust models and their various parameters are discussed.

PRIVACY AWARE COMPUTING
Introduction
With the increasing public concerns of security and personal data privacy worldwide, security
and privacy become an important research area. This research area is very broad and covers
many application domains.
The security and privacy aware computing research group actually focuses on
(1) privacy-preserved computing,
(2) Video surveillance, and
(3) secure biometric system.
Now let us briefly discuss the above three groups.
Privacy-preserved Computing
Concerns on the data privacy have been increasing worldwide. For example, Apple was
reportedly fined by South Korea’s telecommunications regulator for allegedly collecting and
storing private location data of iPhone users. The privacy concerns raised by both end-users and
government authorities have been hindering the deployment of many valuable IT services, such
as data mining and analysis, data outsourcing, and mobile location-aware computing.
soo, in response to the growing necessity of protecting data privacy, our research group has been
focusing on developing innovative solutions towards information services --- to support these
services while preserving users’ personal privacy.
Video Surveillance
With the growing installation of surveillance video cameras in both private and public areas, the
closed-circuit TV (CCTV) has been evolved from a single camera system to a multiple camera
system; and has recently been extended to a large-scale network of cameras.
One of the objectives of a camera network is to monitor and understand security issues in the
area under surveillance. While the camera network hardware is generally well-designed and
roundly installed, the development of intelligent video analysis software lags far behind. As
such, our group has been focusing on developing video surveillance algorithms such as face
tracking, person re-identification, human action recognition.
Our goal is to develop an intelligent video surveillance system.
Secure Biometric System
With the growing use of biometrics, there is a rising concern about the security and privacy of
the biometric data. Recent studies show that simple attacks on a biometric system, such as hill
climbing, are able to recover the raw biometric data from stolen biometric template. Moreover,
the attacker may be able to make use of the stolen face template to access the system or cross-
match across databases. Our group has been working on face template protection, multimodality
template protection, and .

The three main categories of the data network environment effecting IT security are all undergoing major change simultaneously. In the year ahead, these changes will manifest themselves as security challenges. These trends fall into three categories: client devices (the consumerization of IT); the external threat environment (the institutionalization of threat development); and the hosting environment (virtualization). Any one of these dynamics should shade the thinking of IT strategists inside companies and other organizations. Taken together, they may spur major re-evaluations of current practices.
Toward Continuous Cybersecurity With Network AutomationKen Flott
Network security is a dynamic art, with dangers appearing as
fast as black hats can exploit vulnerabilities. While there are
basic “golden rules” which can make life difficult for the bad
guys, it remains a challenge to keep networks secure. John
Chambers, Executive Chairman of Cisco, famously said “there
are two types of companies: those that have been hacked, and
those who don’t know they have been hacked”. The question
for most organizations isn’t if they’re going to be breached, but
how quickly they can isolate and mitigate the threat.
In this paper, we’ll examine best practices for effective
cybersecurity – from both a proactive (access hardening)
and reactive (threat isolation and mitigation) perspective.
We’ll address how network automation can help minimize
cyberattacks by closing vulnerability gaps and how it can
improve incident response times in the event of a cyberthreat.
Finally, we’ll lay a vision for continuous network security, to
explore how machine-to-machine automation may deliver an
auto-securing and self-healing network.
WoMaster's new White Paper introduces Cyber Security features according to IEC62443 standard and proposes solutions for new cyber risks of industry 4.0.

Discuss how a successful organization should have the following layers of security in place for the protection of its operations: information security management, data security, and network security.
Multiple Layers of Security
Marlowe Rooks posted Mar 13, 2020 9:54 AM
Looking at Vacca”s book chapter 1, “Information security management as a field is ever increasing in demand and responsibility because most organizations spend increasingly larger percentages of their IT budgets in attempting to manage risk and mitigate intrusions, not to mention the trend in many enterprises of moving all IT operations to an Internet-connected infrastructure, known as enterprise cloud computing (John R. Vacca, 2014)”. It is the organization responsibility to protect its business and its client information at all times. With that said I’m going to break down why companies need to have multiple layers of security and what types they should implement below.
The first layer is Information security management which can be from Physical Security, or Personnel Security. Physical Security can range from physical items, objects, or areas from unauthorized access and misuse. Personnel Security is to protect the individual or group of individuals who are authorized to access the organization and its operations. Some of the reason to implement Information Security is as follow:
· Decrease in downtime of IT systems
· Decrease in security related incidents
· Increase in meeting an organization's compliance requirements and standards
· Increase in customer satisfaction, demonstrating that security issues are tackled in the most appropriate manner
· Increase in quality of service
· Process approach adoption, which helps account for all legal and regulatory requirements
· More easily identifiable and managed risks
· Also covers information security (IS) (in addition to IT information security)
· Provides a competitive edge to an organization with the help of tackling risks and managing resources/processes
The second layer would be Data Security which can be refers to the process of protecting data from unauthorized access and data corruption throughout its lifecycle. Data security includes data encryption, tokenization, and key management practices that protect data across all applications and platforms. Some of the reason to implement Data Security is as follow:
· Cloud access security – Protection platform that allows you to move to the cloud securely while protecting data in cloud applications.
· Data encryption – Data-centric and tokenization security solutions that protect data across enterprise, cloud, mobile and big data environments.
· Web Browser Security - Protects sensitive data captured at the browser, from the point the customer enters cardholder or personal data, and keeps it protected through the ecosystem to the trusted host destination.
· Mobile App Security - Protecting sensitive data in native mobile apps while safeguarding the data end-to-end.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Wireless Security on Context (disponible en español)
1. Wireless Security on Context (disponible en español)
Posted by Jorge Guzman Olaya on Apr 15, 2013 10:02:25 AM
Why Security?
It all started with an email account you accessed through your laptop, and now sometimes it is really hard to track all
the digital profiles you own, plus we tend to pay little attention about accessing our digital assets in secure “wireless
domains”, these factors combined form a scenario where security breaches can really hurt your digital self as it
exists. It is clear that wireless communications has allowed us to adopt technology in a new way; we can use digital
tools without being tied to a location, but the fact is that when you use technology everywhere you are exposing
yourself to that “everywhere”. Popularity of wireless technology has shifted the usage of digital tools, your mobile
device is amazingly powerful and networks are growing in complexity to cope with better services. All this power
makes it difficult on the user to keep a track of the myriad of vulnerabilities and possible security exploits.
As mentioned above we have in our hands a complex scenario; from one side we have an exponential growth and
success of the wireless technology plus an increasing exposure of personal sensitive data to the digital world plus
more physical spaces where we can use the technology that at the same time increases the number of personal and
social contexts involved in our interactions with technology. On the other side we have a user that is still adapting to
the rapid shift, possibly meaning that he is less conscious of how various factors come together to form the service,
and it is how we find the first weak link in the chain; the lack of knowledge. Another factor is the fierce competition
among industry stakeholders; they are working isolated pushing their own agendas, creating a non -cohesive
framework of security for the wireless industry. On the contrary, threats and bad-intentioned people usually
beneficiate upon gathered knowledge of collaborative open communities through the Internet.
Taking Action to be More Secure
From the user perspective, the main action must be to increase knowledge of the technology. For example, where to
tune security configurations on the device or what information is being accessed on your device by the apps installed.
It is also important to know the risks of using a non-secure WLAN network. In the final part of this blog I summarize
various security tips you can find on the Internet and my personal recommendation.
Application developers must commit more responsibly to security and inform the customer about their efforts on the
matter, especially considering privacy of user sensitive information and its management; aspects like the length of
conservation of user information even after the user has uninstalled the app or the permissions of sh aring personal
2. information with third parties. Regarding the OS developers, it is expected that SW threats are addressed not only for
the new releases of the product but also previous versions must be covered, and somehow frequency of security
updates or patches must be increased.
Other contributors to the industry take action: like national government’s initiative to extend EIR databases beyond
countries frontiers to discourage device theft, or the effort countries are making, to oblige Internet giants to comply
with international policies of user’s personal data handling. Academia presents innovative testing techniques against
security breaches including fuzzy logic and genetic algorithms to simulate real life environments. New wireless
applications like NFC and M2M also pose big questions and challenges to the industry that are being addressed;
solutions like data encryption while being transferred or stored are being integrated into architectures and regulations,
but the main path the industry must take is an improvement of the vision about security. Seurity threats cannot be
avoided - they can only be managed and management must start with a plan to achieve a clear goal.
A Framework to Achieve a More Secure Wireless Ecosystem
If security threats can only be managed at the most, then, a base framework can be formulated to then build a plan or
strategy to efficiently manage wireless security. CTIA has made a pretty good effort formulating such a framework in
which the elements are:
Consumers
MNO
Device Manufacturers
Application Market Places
Operating System vendors
Chipset Manufacturers
Network Services Systems
Support SW Vendors
VAS Service Providers
Network Equipment Manufacturers
Under its view CTIA proposes five cornerstones, around which security actions are executed and efforts should be
built around:
1. Consumers: Responsible to protect their devices through better configuration and installing applications to secure
their devices and their data, also keeping that SW Up-to-date., Ffinally the users must be aware of what they put in
their devices and what they disclosed on their social profiles.
2. Devices: Comprises all the tools and methods that the industry and you as user, can use to minimize risks from
security threats, given the high complexity of current devices and the great deal of information and activities we do
with them.
3. Network based security policies: Includes all the tools that network providers should use as countermeasures against
security threats;, examples like Policy Routing Traffic Analysis, Service provider SSL VPN, and MDM (Mobile Device
Management) capabilities for BYOD environments.
4. Authentication control: Covers the authentication methods of the device with the network and those for the user to
access the device, considering the multifactor method trend and the biometric approaches.
5. Cloud, Networks and Services: Comprehends the whole extend of the network, its functional entities and the
services that each part provides both for regular customers and enterprise users. Also the different precautions and
plans that the network has to have in place for Disaster recovery scenarios and security schemes that ensure privacy
and integrity of stored user information.
3. My Personal View on Wireless Security

As mentioned above, a framework is only useful if there is some intention to develop something around that baseline,
and in the introduction of this post I mentioned that industry main stakeholders tend to work isolated in a non -
collaborative way, so I agree with some proposals about a push towards a multisource intelligence environment. In
order to accomplish such an environment a Multisource Intelligent System could be the center tool to allow a
collaborative effort of this kind. And so, the industry will have a transnational, multivendor, multi -technology tool,
containing well documented security threats, problem workarounds, countermeasures and possible patches and
solutions against known security breaches; all this following the best of the bread practices in IT management to
organize, produce, control and store the flow of information that comes from solving engineering problems related to
security in the wireless industry.
This multi-collaborative industry repository will be accessible to all accredited members of the wireless industry and/or
active contributors of security assets construction within the ecosystem. They will feed, maintain and update the
content of this tool. Through the use of guidelines contained in international bodies of knowledge for IT handling, it
will be possible to ensure the appropriate privacy for each industry stakeholder regarding industrial secret
information, while still helping the development of solutions from already known threats and those foreseen by
academia. The main objectives for an endeavor of this kind would be:
Provide the industry with a construct around which industry stakeholders can produce collaborative efforts to better
countermeasure security threats.
To speed the production and divulgation processes of effective and more complete security countermeasures that
better protect the customer and the industry, taking advantage of already documented knowledge, avoiding re -work
and misinformation.
Finally, I think that future technologies, like Context Aware networks can help to create a more secure environment
for the user, allowing the execution of a counter action at the precise instant of technology usage and at the precise
moment where a security threat becomes obvious, and without the need for the user to know or be prepared to all
existent risks of his ongoing wireless transaction or service at a random space and time combination. All while at the
same time optimizing the resources of the network devoted to protect the user against threats .; Ffor example, if the
network detects that certain user is connecting through its own VPN client, a network base VPN solution flow can be
allocated for another user.
A Look into the Future of Wireless Security
Fields for further study: BSN and BAN give security a totally new meaning, because this technology puts information
concerning your own body into networks that today, cannot be considered totally secured;, so if this field of the
industry is set for any success then security must be further developed and strengthen. Now MTC (Machine Type
Communications) where human intervention is not required also needs an intelligent non supervised scheme that can
ensure the basics of a secure communication network: Confidentiality, Integrity, Authentication, Non Repudiation,
Access Control, Availability and Privacy.
4. Security future concepts: like beneficial viruses, SW that in the same line of DRM remain inactive but when found in
unauthorized digital environments then proceed to delete themselves and the information attached to them. Another
concept is the Active sentinel SW that contrary to a regular antivirus this SW adapts to a certain extent to identify the
threat even if is not specified in the database but that follows a suspicious activity pattern against predefine rules.
New biometric authentication methods like brain wave authentication that is really unique and fast.
Summarized Tips for the Wireless User
As promised, here is a list of “do's” and “don'ts” for the user of wireless technology.
Do:
1. Be informed and cautious while downloading apps, clicking links, providing information to online sites, setting
passwords, and linking accounts and online profiles. Always consider installing security software on your wireless
device.
2. Check the permissions of each installed app, and take the time to read the permissions you give to apps while
installing them.
3. Be conscious when using Wi-Fi, check the type of security used, if security is absent from the access point or lower
than WPA2, avoid logging in your sensitive accounts, or do banking transactions, without a VPN client solution, if you
don’t have such solution, restrict your session to just browsing if at all.
4. Be proactive and organized with your passwords: set a strategy to generate, change and store them, there are plenty
of passwords apps.
5. Check the details of your wireless bill to identify unauthorized usage or suspicious usage patterns from your devices.
6. Update your trusted applications and OS in all the devices you run digital transactions.
7. Report stolen or lost phones.
8. Use a VPN solution for unsecure Wi-Fi
9. Use complex passwords for important accounts.
10. Set security questions that really help you protect your data.
11. Use encryption of your sensitive data while stored on mobile devices, available apps can be found on your preferred
SW provider online stores.
Do Not:
1. Publish personal information or specific information about your wireless devices (phone number, IMEI, MAC address,
etc.)
2. Root your phone or mobile device for personalization purposes.
3. Buy an stolen phone or buy it from a suspicious provider
4. Download apps from un-authorized stores different from the OS manufacturer store, like directly from the internet.
5. Be lazy, when setting passwords, logging into sensitive accounts, exchanging banking info, and protecting mobile
devices, always use what you consider is more secure for your digital asset, even if it takes more time.
6. Have one factor authentication for sensitive accounts or digital profiles.
7. Have the same password across multiple online or digital profiles.
8. Thrust blindly on third parties to secure your digital data, take your own measures, backup regularly, encrypt your
data, do not use unsecure access points can be just some examples.
9. Link social accounts all together if unnecessary, you’ll be providing a great deal of information without noticing it.
