Online Expression, Personal Cybersecurity Costs, and the Specter of Cybercrime
2020
The internet is used increasingly as a platform both for free expression and e-commerce. The internet has unique security and privacy risks. Such risks include the threat of criminal cyberattacks, including hacking and doxing. Internet users have a variety of attitudes towards the security and privacy risks involved with using the internet and distinct concerns and behaviors with regard to expressing themselves online. In order to mitigate the security and privacy risks of the internet, some internet users spend valuable time thinking about and configuring the security settings of their devices. They may also have different attitudes towards personal spending of money for cybersecurity prod…
Developing Cybersecurity in an Industrial Environment by Using a Testbed Environment
2023
Critical infrastructure protection requires a testing environment that allows the testing of different kinds of equipment, software, networks, and tools to develop vital functions of the critical industrial environment. Used electrical equipment must be reliable, capable and maintain a stable critical industrial ecosystem. An industrial business needs to develop cybersecurity capabilities that detect and prevent IT/ICT and OT/ICS threats in an industrial environment. The emerging trend has been to create security operations center (SOC) services to detect ICS-related threats in enterprise networks. The energy supply sector must consist of crucial elements for safe business continuity and su…
Preventing Execution of Unauthorized Native-Code Software
2017
The business world is exhibiting a growing dependency on computer systems, their operations and the databases they contain. Unfortunately, it also suffers from an ever growing recurrence of malicious software attacks. Malicious attack vectors are diverse and the computer-security industry is producing an abundance of behavioral-pattern detections to combat the phenomenon. This paper proposes an alternative approach, based on the implementation of an attested, and thus trusted, thin-hypervisor. Secondary level address translation tables, governed and fully controlled by the hypervisor, are configured in order to assure that only pre-whitelisted instructions can be executed in the system. Thi…
Industry 4.0 Intelligence under Attack : From Cognitive Hack to Data Poisoning
2018
Artificial intelligence is an unavoidable asset of Industry 4.0. Artificial actors participate in real-time decision-making and problem solving in various industrial processes, including planning, production, and management. Their efficiency, as well as intelligent and autonomous behavior is highly dependent on the ability to learn from examples, which creates new vulnerabilities exploited by security threats. Today's disruptive attacks of hackers go beyond system's infrastructures targeting not only hard-coded software or hardware, but foremost data and trained decision models, in order to approach system's intelligence and compromise its work. This paper intends to reveal security threats…
Information as a determinant of a decision system
2018
The purpose of the article is to describe the considerations of measuring information in the aspect of making decisions. In the last two decades an "informational revolution" has been made that opens the era of computer tools supporting decision-making processes (Internet, mobile telephony). This relatively new information environment includes information, users and systems that enable information processing. In the information environment, the value and quality of information should be taken into account. An important place in the consideration of information is the measurement of information in the aspect of decision-making.
On Attacking Future 5G Networks with Adversarial Examples : Survey
2022
The introduction of 5G technology along with the exponential growth in connected devices is expected to cause a challenge for the efficient and reliable network resource allocation. Network providers are now required to dynamically create and deploy multiple services which function under various requirements in different vertical sectors while operating on top of the same physical infrastructure. The recent progress in artificial intelligence and machine learning is theorized to be a potential answer to the arising resource allocation challenges. It is therefore expected that future generation mobile networks will heavily depend on its artificial intelligence components which may result in …
Components of defence strategies in society’s information environment: a case study based on the grounded theory
2020
Objectives: The goal of this study is to explore the components of defence strategies faced by society in its information environment, and how these strategies are inter-related. Methods: This qualitative in-depth case study applied past research and empirical evidence to identify the components of defence strategies in a society’s information environment. The collected data were analysed using the Grounded Theory approach and a conceptual framework with the components of defence strategies and the relationships between these components being developed using the Grounded Theory. Results: This study shows that the goal of politically and militarily hostile actors is to weaken society’s infor…
Edukacja obronna i edukacja dla bezpieczeństwa w polskim szkolnictwie w XX i XXI w. Zarys problematyki
2016
Edukacja obronna jest istotną częścią systemu kształcenia obywateli w wielu państwach Europy i świata. W przyjętej w niniejszym opracowaniu cezurze w polskim szkolnictwie różnie akcentowano określone treści edukacji obronnej i, w zależności od okresu historycznego oraz sytuacji geopolitycznej, stawiano jej odmienne cele. W II Rzeczypospolitej szczególny nacisk kładziono na treści związane z kształtowaniem odpowiednich postaw - przede wszystkim patriotyzmu oraz związanego z nim poczucia utrwalania, a w razie konieczności obrony dopiero co odzyskanej niepodległości. Zadania te miały być realizowane w ramach szeroko rozumianego przysposobienia wojskowego. Po II wojnie światowej w programach pr…

Impact of deterrence theory methods on employees' information security behavior
2017
Peloteteoria (Deterrence theory) on alun perin psykologiassa ja kriminologiassa käytetty termi, ja sen mukaan rangaistuksen pelko estää yksilöä toimimasta vastoin lakia ja sääntöjä. Digitalisoituvassa maailmassa on viimeisen kahdenkymmenen vuoden aikana tehty paljon tutkimusta, jossa peloteteoriaa on sovellettu tietojärjestelmien sekä tietoturvakäyttäytymisen kontekstiin. Tutkielma käsittelee käytössä olevia peloteteorian keinoja tässä kontekstissa sekä nii-den vaikutuksia työntekijöiden tietoturvakäyttäytymiseen. Tutkielma on toteutettu kirjallisuuskatsauksena ja sen tarkoitus on määritellä peloteteorian käsitettä tietojärjestelmien ja tietoturvakäyttäytymisen kontekstissa sekä tutkia olem…
