Download or read book Collaborative Financial Infrastructure Protection written by Roberto Baldoni and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-01-11 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Critical Infrastructure Protection Survey recently released by Symantec found that 53% of interviewed IT security experts from international companies experienced at least ten cyber attacks in the last five years, and financial institutions were often subject to some of the most sophisticated and large-scale cyber attacks and frauds. The book by Baldoni and Chockler analyzes the structure of software infrastructures found in the financial domain, their vulnerabilities to cyber attacks and the existing protection mechanisms. It then shows the advantages of sharing information among financial players in order to detect and quickly react to cyber attacks. Various aspects associated with information sharing are investigated from the organizational, cultural and legislative perspectives. The presentation is organized in two parts: Part I explores general issues associated with information sharing in the financial sector and is intended to set the stage for the vertical IT middleware solution proposed in Part II. Nonetheless, it is self-contained and details a survey of various types of critical infrastructure along with their vulnerability analysis, which has not yet appeared in a textbook-style publication elsewhere. Part II then presents the CoMiFin middleware for collaborative protection of the financial infrastructure. The material is presented in an accessible style and does not require specific prerequisites. It appeals to both researchers in the areas of security, distributed systems, and event processing working on new protection mechanisms, and practitioners looking for a state-of-the-art middleware technology to enhance the security of their critical infrastructures in e.g. banking, military, and other highly sensitive applications. The latter group will especially appreciate the concrete usage scenarios included.

Download or read book Vulnerable Systems written by Wolfgang Kröger and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-01-02 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The safe management of the complex distributed systems and critical infrastructures which constitute the backbone of modern industry and society entails identifying and quantifying their vulnerabilities to design adequate protection, mitigation, and emergency action against failure. In practice, there is no fail-safe solution to such problems and various frameworks are being proposed to effectively integrate different methods of complex systems analysis in a problem-driven approach to their solution. Vulnerable Systems reflects the current state of knowledge on the procedures which are being put forward for the risk and vulnerability analysis of critical infrastructures. Classical methods of reliability and risk analysis, as well as new paradigms based on network and systems theory, including simulation, are considered in a dynamic and holistic way. Readers of Vulnerable Systems will benefit from its structured presentation of the current knowledge base on this subject. It will enable graduate students, researchers and safety and risk analysts to understand the methods suitable for different phases of analysis and to identify their criticalities in application.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book constitutes the proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Risks and Security of Internet and Systems, CRiTIS 2020, which took place during November 4-6, 2020. The conference was originally planned to take place in Paris, France, but had to change to an online format due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 16 full and 7 short papers included in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 44 submissions. In addition, the book contains one invited talk in full paper length. The papers were organized in topical sections named: vulnerabilities, attacks and intrusion detection; TLS, openness and security control; access control, risk assessment and security knowledge; risk analysis, neural networks and Web protection; infrastructure security and malware detection.
