ICT systems have become an integral part of business and life. At the same time, these systems have become extremely complex. In such systems exist numerous vulnerabilities waiting to be exploited by potential threat actors. pwnPr3d is a novel modelling approach that performs automated architectural analysis with the objective of measuring the cyber security of the modeled architecture. Its integrated modelling language allows users to model software and hardware components with great level of details. To illustrate this capability, we present in this paper the metamodel of UNIX, operating systems being the core of every software and every IT system. After describing the main UNIX constituents and how they have been modelled, we illustrate how the modelled OS integrates within pwnPr3d's rationale by modelling the spreading of a self-replicating malware inspired by WannaCry.

Industrial networking has many issues based on the type of industries, data storage, data centers, and cloud computing, etc. Green data storage improves the scientific, commercial and industrial profile of the networking. Future industries are looking for cybersecurity solution with the low-cost resources in which the energy serving is the main problem in the industrial networking. To improve these problems, green data storage will be the priority because data centers and cloud computing deals with the data storage. In this analysis, we have decided to use solar energy source and different light rays as methodologies include a prism and the Li-Fi techniques. In this approach, light rays sent through the prism which allows us to transmit the data with different frequencies. This approach provides green energy and maximum protection within the data center. As a result, we have illustrated that cloud services within the green data center in industrial networking will achieve better protection with the low-cost energy through this analysis. Finally, we have to conclude that Li-Fi enhances the use of green energy and protection which are advantages to current and future industrial networking.

Wide-area monitoring and control (WAMC) systems are the next-generation operational-management systems for electric power systems. The main purpose of such systems is to provide high resolution real-time situational awareness in order to improve the operation of the power system by detecting and responding to fast evolving phenomenon in power systems. From an information and communication technology (ICT) perspective, the nonfunctional qualities of these systems are increasingly becoming important and there is a need to evaluate and analyze the factors that impact these nonfunctional qualities. Enterprise architecture methods, which capture properties of ICT systems in architecture models and use these models as a basis for analysis and decision making, are a promising approach to meet these challenges. This paper presents a quantitative architecture analysis method for the study of WAMC ICT architectures focusing primarily on the interoperability and cybersecurity aspects.
