Special Information

The problem of ensuring information security is currently urgent for the Russian Federation as well as for the whole world. The number of cyber-threats is increasing at a great speed, and they concern not only private citizens, but also organizations, the community and the state. Special attention should be paid to the information security of children and teenagers. Minors are most susceptible to negative influences on the Internet, they risk becoming victims of cyberbullying, fraud and illegal access to personal data. Common threats to the information security of minors include a constant increase in the number of sites with aggressive or illegal content, including those inciting to suicide or abuse of drugs and psychoactive substances, as well as cyber-stalking or virtual sexual harassment. The information security of minors in the digital space is a complex issue, whose successful solution requires a consolidation of legal and information resources. The article analyzes Russian and foreign experience of ensuring the information security of minors. The authors summarize research approaches to solving the problem of protecting minors on the Internet. They present a classification of the most urgent cyber-threats: software-technical (intentional dissemination of viruses and Trojan software), economic (theft and sale of credit card details, phishing-attacks, hacking of payment accounts), and content (public dissemination of any materials, including illegal ones, on the Internet). The authors also examine legal, social and technical measures of ensuring the information security of minors and suggest changes to the current legislation which regulates the information security of minors. The authors also study specific methods of solving this task and outline a number of measures aimed at protecting the rights and freedoms of minors in the digital space (thematic prevention classes for minors, development of special information protection software).

Cyber Threats

Contemporary organisations in any industry are increasingly dependent on information systems. Today most organisations are online all the time, and their internal systems are used in environments that are already or easily connected to the internet. The paper analyses cyber threats and their potential effect on the operations of different organisations with the use of scenario analysis. The scenarios are built based on a literature review. One outcome of the analysis is that to an organisation it is irrelevant where a cyber threat originates from and who it is targeted for. If the threat is specifically targeted to the organisation or if the threat is collateral in nature is not important; preparing for the threat is important in both cases. The paper discusses the pressures that the cyber threats pose to information security policies, and what the role of the information security policy could be in preparing for the threats.

Do So

Cybersecurity is generally considered as an information security topic, often associated with personal data and information databases: collecting, exposing, corrupting, or deleting these data. However, it is a more global problem, and related to broader aspects, such as controlling cyber-systems. In ICS, the topic of cybersecurity is considered at the operational and responsible level as a secondary threat, and much more as an IT problem. This premise has proven to lead to substantial losses. For example, dangerous aspects in some installation can stress the cybersecurity in ICS, for instance, plants dealing with hazardous materials, as the attackers can take over control of the production lines. This chapter encapsulates points in common on the topic of cybersecurity in IT and ICS. IT has already devoted significant resources into cyber-threats. ICS has yet to do so. To do so, authors review a number of papers dealing with the same topic.

Use Of The Internet

There has been a massive increase in the use of the internet for shopping and payment. The ease and availability of the internet has accelerated the growth of online applications. E-commerce applications handle many sensitive pieces of data like financial or personal data, which are used for critical tasks like banking, socializing, shopping, and tax filling. Online financial service and shopping sites are an attractive target for fraudsters because money transactions are done through these sites. Credit card fraud, identity theft, and account hijack are key concerns for these organizations. These frauds cause financial loss and hurt the reputation of e-commerce sites. The use of the cloud platform has made these sites more productive, but at the same time, it has opened them to a variety of threats. This chapter describes a framework for credit card and identity fraud detection using big data analytics and machine learning techniques to make e-commerce sites more secure and efficient.

Shane Greenstein of Northwestern University reviews “The Economics of Information Security and Privacy”, by Rainer Bohme. The Econlit abstract of this book begins: “Thirteen papers, revised and previously presented at the 11th Workshop on the Economics of Information Security held in Berlin in June 2012, explore the economics of information security and privacy, focusing on the management of information security, the economics of information security, the economics of privacy, and the economics of cybercrime. Papers discuss information security costs; whether to invest or not to invest--assessing the economic viability of a policy and security configuration management tool; ad-blocking games--monetizing online content under the threat of ad avoidance; software security economics--theory, in practice; an empirical study on information security behaviors and awareness; sectoral and regional interdependency of Japanese firms under the influence of information security risks; whether we can afford integrity by proof-of-work--scenarios inspired by the Bitcoin currency; online promiscuity--prophylactic patching and the spread of computer transmitted infections; the privacy economics of voluntary overdisclosure in web forms; choice architecture and smartphone privacy--there's a price for that; personal data disclosure in a simulated credit card application; measuring the cost of cybercrime; and an analysis of e-crime in crowd-sourced labor markets--Mechanical Turk versus Freelancer. Böhme is with the European Research Center for Information Systems at the University of Münster.”

While Internet has opened a whole new world of opportunity for interaction and business by removing many trade barriers, it has also opened up new possibilities and means of criminal acts altogether unheard of in the off-line world. Why do people commit crimes online? Perhaps, some of them attempt to gain unauthorised access to other’s money. Some people have fun doing so and there are others who do it to take revenge or to harm others. While the motivation of conducting criminal acts may be the same as in the off-line world, the manner of such criminal acts is unique to the Internet. The vulnerability of the information transmitted over Internet is the root cause of the sprawling of criminal acts over Internet. Both users and vendors become vulnerable to criminal acts that undermine security due to easy accessibility of Internet and easy exploitation of security loopholes in the Internet. These criminal acts can adversely affect Internet users, particularly online vendors and customers. Therefore, it is important that Internet users not only become conversant of such criminal acts but also take suitable measures to counter and avoid becoming victims of these criminal acts. In this article we examine some of the major information security threats to Internet users with particular emphasis on electronic commerce and propose plausible solutions for a safer online experience. The information security threats can be categorised into threats to the users, threats to the vendors, and threats to both users and vendors. Electronic embezzlement, sniffing and spoofing, and denial-of-service attacks are examples of threat to the vendor. Credit card frauds and malicious codes are examples of threats to the users. Cybervandalism and phishing are examples of threats to both users and vendors.

Information Security Management System

The modern development of high technologies and computer technology greatly enhanced the development of automated banking systems of banking sector organizations and allowed the synthesis of information and communication technologies for their formation. However, the era of high technology has increased the range of threats to banking information resources; threats have gained signs of hybridity and synergy. In these conditions, the current issue in shaping the information security management system in banking sector organizations is the formation and analysis of modern threats. In order to generalize the approach of classification of hybrid cyber threats to the components of security: information security, cybersecurity, security of information banking information resources in the work proposed an advanced classification of threats to banking information resources. The classifier takes into account ISO / OSI model levels in automated banking systems, the targeting of threats to security services and their criticality of damage. The article analyzes contemporary international standards and normative documents of the National Bank of Ukraine on security issues of banking information resources. On the basis of this analysis, we propose estimates of the level of danger to intruders and the degree of implementation of protective measures under the conditions of modern hybrid cyber threats.

Internet Sales

The expansion of electronic commerce (E-commerce) has become an increasing reality due to Internet’s rapid growth during the last few years. E-commerce is growing at an exceptional rate with more organizations offering their goods and services online every day. Importantly, this growth is being matched by the number of people gaining access to the Internet in a variety of ways. E-commerce offers opportunities as well as threats. Information is crucial for any organization, especially in the e-market. The lack of an effective and trusted payment system that can be used in combination with online shopping has been limiting factor in the growth of Internet sales. Consumers are hesitant to provide personal information, including credit card details, over the Internet because of high perception of risk and concerns with privacy. Establishment of Information Security System can minimize the threats and risks. Technology can play an important role in intensifying trust in the information society and securing consumer rights. E-commerce will not be successful without protecting the consumers’ rights, especially in the area of information security. The research highlights the relevant theories of information security within the e-commerce sectors, including identifying and investigating the problems.
