The proposed United States FY2013 budget requests $769 million dollars for information security initiatives under the Department of Homeland Security. Projected annual spending for information security exceeds $10 billion by 2015. A new method using validated processes to quantitatively identify risk of a successful cyber attack would allow targeted interventions and a more efficient use of fun...

The aim of this study is preventing cyber-bullying with a risk management system. This paper examines the importance of the guardians role in preventing cyber bullying and considers how the schools can support guardians and students. School organizes Information System to support students and guardians. School supports them, without the means of class, to gain extensive knowledge on an informat...

As much as possible, it is important that the smart grid is secure from cyber-attacks. A vital part of ensuring the security of smart grids is to perform a cybersecurity risk assessment that methodically examines the impact and likelihood of cyber-attacks. Based on the outcomes of a risk assessment, security requirements and controls can be determined that inform architectural choices and addre...

In this study an exploration of insurance risk transfer is undertaken for the cyber industry in United States America, based on leading dataset events provided by Advisen. We seek to address two core unresolved questions. First, what factors are most significant covariates that may explain frequency and severity loss they heterogeneous over categories? Second, insurable regards required premium...

Nuclear power plants play an important role in electricity production for many countries. They supply power to industries, centers, government facilities, and residential areas. Yet, upon review, several cases reveal that even a small-scale attack on a nuclear power plant could lead to catastrophic consequences for a country’s citizens, economy, infrastructure, and security. In recent years, th...

This paper reviews the state of the art in cyber security risk assessment of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems. We select and in-detail examine twenty-four risk assessment methods developed for or applied in the context of a SCADA system. We describe the essence of the methods and then analyse them in terms of aim; application domain; the stages of risk management address...

The present paper addresses an effective cyber defense model by applying information fusion based game theoretical approaches‎. ‎In the present paper, we are trying to improve previous models by applying stochastic optimal control and robust optimization techniques‎. ‎Jump processes are applied to model different and complex situations in cyber games‎. ‎Applying jump processes we propose some m...
