Designing a Cyber Attack Information System for National Situational Awareness
نویسندگان
چکیده
Information and communication technology (ICT) systems underpin many of today’s societal functions and economic development. Consequently, protecting a nation’s ICT infrastructure from deliberate cyber attacks and unintentional disruptions is of paramount importance. Collaboration among all parties across all domains of cyberspace is the key to effective and coordinated effort to cope with cyber threats. This is particularly the case as cyber threats become increasingly sophisticated and distributed. In this paper, we introduce the foundational building blocks to realize an efficient incident response cycle on a national level, and propose the design of a conceptual framework – the Cyber Attack Information System (CAIS) – for establishing national cyber situational awareness.

Analysis and Assessment of Situational Awareness Models for National Cyber Security Centers
National cyber security centers (NCSCs) are gaining more and more importance to ensure the security and proper operations of critical infrastructures (CIs). As a prerequisite, NCSCs need to collect, analyze, process, assess and share security-relevant information from infrastructure operators. A vital capability of mentioned NCSCs is to establish Cyber Situational Awareness (CSA) as a precondit...

ICT has been integrated massively in business processes in recent years, thus producing an enormous dependency on these technologies. The potential impact of these dependencies (for example if the IT systems are lacking appropriate security levels) are remarkable – the malfunction or total loss of public energy grids, the banking system, supply chains or public administration can cause enormous...

ccurate simulation of cyber warfare can prepare decision-makers for its challenges. With cyber warfare, it is possible to control an adversaries’ information, target the portions of cyber space used for situational awareness and decision-making, lead the adversary to make desired decisions, and strike directly at the opposition’s mind. A cyber attack diminishes individual and group situational ...
