This paper presents PSO, an ontological framework and a methodology for improving physical security and insider threat detection. PSO can facilitate forensic data analysis and proactively mitigate insider threats by leveraging rule-based anomaly detection. In all too many cases, rule-based anomaly detection can detect employee deviations from organizational security policies. In addition, PSO can be considered a security provenance solution because of its ability to fully reconstruct attack patterns. Provenance graphs can be further analyzed to identify deceptive actions and overcome analytical mistakes that can result in bad decision-making, such as false attribution. Moreover, the information can be used to enrich the available intelligence (about intrusion attempts) that can form use cases to detect and remediate limitations in the system, such as loosely-coupled provenance graphs that in many cases indicate weaknesses in the physical security architecture. Ultimately, validation of the framework through use cases demonstrates and proves that PS0 can improve an organization's security posture in terms of physical security and insider threat detection.
The convergence of the Internet and mobile computing enables personalised access to online services anywhere and anytime. This potent access capability creates opportunities for new business models which stimulates vigorous investment and rapid innovation. Unfortunately, this innovation also produces new vulnerabilities and threats, and the new business models also create incentives for attacks, because criminals will always follow the money. Unless the new threats are balanced with appropriate countermeasures, growth in the Internet and mobile services will encounter painful setbacks. Security and trust are two fundamental factors for sustainable development of identity management in online markets and communities. The aim of this study is to present an overview of the central aspects of identity management in the Internet and mobile computing with respect to security and trust.
