In the domain of cyber security, the defence mechanisms of networks has traditionally been placed in a reactionary role. Cyber security professionals are therefore disadvantaged in a cyber-attack situation due to the fact that it is vital that they maneuver such attacks before the network is totally compromised. In this paper, we utilize the Betweenness Centrality network measure (social property) to discover possible cyber-attack paths and then employ computation of similar personality of nodes/users to generate predictions about possible attacks within the network. Our method proposes a social recommender algorithm called socially-aware recommendation of cyber-attack paths (SARCP), as an attack predictor in the cyber security defence domain. In a social network, SARCP exploits and delivers all possible paths which can result in cyber-attacks. Using a real-world dataset and relevant evaluation metrics, experimental results in the paper show that our proposed method is favorable and effective.

We are facing the expansion of cyber incidents, and they are becoming more severe. This results in the necessity to improve security, especially in the vulnerable field of critical infrastructure. One of the problems in the security of critical infrastructures is the level of awareness related to the effect of cyberattacks. The threat to critical infrastructure is real, so it is necessary to be aware of it and anticipate, predict, and prepare against a cyber attack. The main reason for the escalation of cyberattacks in the field of Critical Infrastructure (CI) may be that most control systems used for CI do not utilise propriety protocols and software anymore; they instead utilise standard solutions. As a result, critical infrastructure systems are more than ever before becoming vulnerable and exposed to cyber threats. It is important to get an insight into what attack types occur, as this may help direct cyber security efforts. In this chapter, the authors present vulnerabilities of SCADA systems against cyber attack, analyse and classify existing cyber attacks, and give future directions to achieve better security of SCADA systems.

Bank Robbery

Because banks are very often target of a cyber-attack, they have also good security controls in place. This paper analysis modern threats to banks and proposes an approach to detect and visualize the risk of data leakage. In the first part of this paper, a comparative analysis of the most common threats to the banking sector is made, based on both bank reports and cyber security companies. The authors came to the conclusion that at the bottom line, insider knowledge is necessary, which is the result of data leakage. This paper comparatively analysis modern threats to banks and shows an approach to detect and visualize the risk of data leakage. In the second part of the paper, a model - based on network graph - that can enumerate the risk of data leakage is proposed. Graphing a network of an organization with the connections of data flow between assets and actors can identify insecure connections that may lead to data leakage. As is demonstrated in this paper, financial institutions are important targets of cyber attacks. Consequently, the financial sector must invest heavily in cybersecurity and find the best ways to counter cyber attacks and cyber bank robbery attempts.

Cybercrime continues to emerge, with new threats surfacing every year. Every business, regardless of its size, is a potential target of cyber-attack. Cybersecurity in today's connected world is a key component of any establishment. Amidst known security threats in a virtualization environment, side-channel attacks (SCA) target most impressionable data and computations. SCA is flattering major security interests that need to be inspected from a new point of view. As a part of cybersecurity aspects, secured implementation of virtualization infrastructure is very much essential to ensure the overall security of the cloud computing environment. We require the most effective tools for threat detection, response, and reporting to safeguard business and customers from cyber-attacks. The objective of this chapter is to explore virtualization aspects of cybersecurity threats and solutions in the cloud computing environment. The authors also discuss the design of their novel ‘Flush+Flush' cache attack detection approach in a virtualized environment.

This chapter examines the rise of cyberpower and its implications for strategy. The rapid spread of information-communication technologies around the world created a globally connected domain called cyberspace. Nearly every function of modern society is enabled by cyberspace. This is both an advantage and a serious vulnerability. The pervasiveness of cyberspace, along with the growing importance of cyberpower, is influencing international politics and the use of military force in the twenty-first century in a variety of ways. The chapter begins with a discussion of relevant terms and definitions before discussing cyberspace, cyberpower, and the infosphere. It then considers how cyberspace has become a place of constant conflict, focusing in particular on the problem of cyber security as well as the challenges and unknowns of cyber-attack. It concludes by reflecting on the potential of cyberpower to spark a revolution in military affairs.

Us Presidential Election

Accusations of Russian hacking in the 2016 US presidential election has raised the salience of cyber security among the American public. However, there are still a number of unanswered questions about the circumstances under which particular policy responses are warranted in response to a cyber-attack and the public’s attitudes about the conditions that justify this range of responses. This research investigates the attributes of a cyber-attack that affect public support for retaliation. It finds that cyber-attacks that produce American casualties dramatically increase support for retaliatory airstrikes compared to attacks with economic consequences. Assessments of attribution that have bipartisan support increase support to a lesser extent but for a broader range of retaliatory measures. The findings have important implications for ongoing debates about cyber security policy.
