Building an Ontology of Cyber Security
نویسندگان
چکیده
Situation awareness depends on a reliable perception of the environment and comprehension of its semantic structures. In this respect, the cyberspace presents a unique challenge to the situation awareness of users and analysts, since it is a unique combination of human and machine elements, whose complex interactions occur in a global communication network. Accordingly, we outline the underpinnings of an ontology of secure operations in cyberspace. We present the basic architecture of the ontology and provide a modeling example. We make the case for adopting a rigorous semantic model of cyber security to overcome the current limits of the state of the art. Keywords— cyber security, ontology, situation awareness, ontology patterns.

The ontology has also been mapped to a number of exi...
متن کاملA Probabilistic Ontology for Large-Scale IP Geolocation
Mapping IP addresses to physical locations is important for a host of cyber security applications. Examples include identifying the origin of cyber attacks, protecting against fraud in internet commerce, screening emails for phishing, and enforcing restrictions on commerce with sanctioned countries. Simultaneous geolocation of large numbers of IP hosts is needed for cyber situation awareness. E...
متن کاملAn Ontology for a National Cyber-Security Culture Environment
The modern-day use of cyberspace has created a world that is increasingly relying on online services to operate. Nevertheless, cyberspace has a ‘dark side’; as there are many risks associated it. This ‘dark side’ has called for safety and security measures to be implemented through cyber security. As such, cultivating a supportive culture is perceived to be an important contributing factor to c...
متن کاملToward an Ontology Architecture for Cyber-Security Standards
The rapid growth in magnitude and complexity of cyber-security information and event management (CSIEM) has ignited a trend toward security automation and information exchange standards. Making Security Measurable (MSM) references a collection of open community standards for the common enumeration, expression and reporting of cyber-security-related information. While MSM-related standards are v...

Big Data has become big business. This paper explores a means of improving Cyber-security using Big Data technologies, ontology, and decision support for preventing or reducing losses from cyber-attacks. Because of the priority of this threat to national security it is necessary to attain results far superior to those found in modern-day security operations centers. Focus is on the potential ap...
