Rapidly growing shared information for threat intelligence not only helps security analysts reduce time on tracking attacks, but also bring possibilities to research on adversaries' thinking and decisions, which is important for the further analysis of attackers' habits and preferences. In this paper, we analyze current models and frameworks used in threat intelligence that suited to different modeling goals, and propose a three-layer model (Goal, Behavior, Capability) to study the statistical characteristics of APT groups. Based on the proposed model, we construct a knowledge network composed of adversary behaviors, and introduce a similarity measure approach to capture similarity degree by considering different semantic links between groups. After calculating similarity degrees, we take advantage of Girvan-Newman algorithm to discover community groups, clustering result shows that community structures and boundaries do exist by analyzing the behavior of APT groups.
Modbus over TCP/IP is one of the most popular industrial network protocol that are widely used in critical infrastructures. However, vulnerability of Modbus TCP protocol has attracted widely concern in the public. The traditional intrusion detection methods can identify some intrusion behaviors, but there are still some problems. In this paper, we present an innovative approach, SD-IDS (Stereo Depth IDS), which is designed for perform real-time deep inspection for Modbus TCP traffic. SD-IDS algorithm is composed of two parts: rule extraction and deep inspection. The rule extraction module not only analyzes the characteristics of industrial traffic, but also explores the semantic relationship among the key field in the Modbus TCP protocol. The deep inspection module is based on rule-based anomaly intrusion detection. Furthermore, we use the online test to evaluate the performance of our SD-IDS system. Our approach get a low rate of false positive and false negative.
This publication presents some techniques for insider threats and cryptographic protocols in secure processes. Those processes are dedicated to the information management of strategic data splitting. Strategic data splitting is dedicated to enterprise management processes as well as methods of securely storing and managing this type of data. Because usually strategic data are not enough secure and resistant for unauthorized leakage, we propose a new protocol that allows to protect data in different management structures. The presented data splitting techniques will concern cryptographic information splitting algorithms, as well as data sharing algorithms making use of cognitive data analysis techniques. The insider threats techniques will concern data reconstruction methods and cognitive data analysis techniques. Systems for the semantic analysis and secure information management will be used to conceal strategic information about the condition of the enterprise. Using the new approach, which is based on cognitive systems allow to guarantee the secure features and make the management processes more efficient.
