Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cyber analysis and warning capabilities are critical to thwarting computer-based (cyber) threats and attacks. The Dept. of Homeland Security (DHS) established the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) to, among other things, coordinate the nation¿s efforts to prepare for, prevent, and respond to cyber threats to systems and communications networks. This report: (1) identifies key attributes of cyber analysis and warning capabilities; (2) compares these attributes with US-CERT¿s current capabilities to identify whether there are gaps; and (3) identifies US-CERT¿s challenges to developing and implementing key attributes and a successful national cyber analysis and warning capability. Includes recommendations. Illus.

This book was released on 2009-08 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pervasive and sustained computer-based (cyber) attacks against federal and private-sector infrastructures pose a potentially devastating impact to systems and operations and the critical infrastructures that they support. Congress and the Executive Branch, including the new administration, have taken actions to examine the adequacy of Pres. Bush¿s strategy and identify areas for improvement. This report summarizes: (1) key reports and recommendations on the national cyber-security strategy; and (2) the views of experts on how to strengthen the strategy. The auditor conducted panel discussions with key cyber-security experts to solicit their views on areas for improvement. Illustrations.

Book excerpt: Discusses the cyber threats to critical infrastructure and the Amer. economy. Pervasive and sustained cyber attacks against the U.S. continue to pose a potentially devastating impact on fed. and non-fed. systems and operations. In Feb. 2011, the Dir. of National Intelligence testified that, in the past year, there had been a dramatic increase in malicious cyber activity targeting U.S. computers and networks, incl. a more than tripling of the vol. of malicious software since 2009. This testimony describes: (1) cyber threats to cyber-reliant critical infrastructures and federal information systems; and (2) the continuing challenges federal agencies face in protecting the nation's cyber-reliant critical infrastructures and federal systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cyber-security is a matter of rapidly growing importance in industry and government. This book provides insight into a range of data science techniques for addressing these pressing concerns.The application of statistical and broader data science techniques provides an exciting growth area in the design of cyber defences. Networks of connected devices, such as enterprise computer networks or the wider so-called Internet of Things, are all vulnerable to misuse and attack, and data science methods offer the promise to detect such behaviours from the vast collections of cyber traffic data sources that can be obtained. In many cases, this is achieved through anomaly detection of unusual behaviour against understood statistical models of normality.This volume presents contributed papers from an international conference of the same name held at Imperial College. Experts from the field have provided their latest discoveries and review state of the art technologies.

This book was released on 2009-03 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent cyber attacks demonstrate the potentially devastating impact these pose to our nation¿s computer systems and to the fed. operations and critical infrastructures that they support. They also highlight that we need to be vigilant against individuals and groups with malicious intent, such as criminals, terrorists, and nation-states perpetuating these attacks. The Dept. of Homeland Security (DHS) is the focal point for coordinating cybersecurity, including responsibility for protecting systems that support critical infrastructures, a practice commonly referred to as cyber critical infrastructure protection. This report summarizes key reports and associated recommendations aimed at securing our nation¿s cyber critical infrastructure.
Download or read book Machine Intelligence and Big Data Analytics for Cybersecurity Applications written by Yassine Maleh and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-12-14 with total page 539 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the latest advances in machine intelligence and big data analytics to improve early warning of cyber-attacks, for cybersecurity intrusion detection and monitoring, and malware analysis. Cyber-attacks have posed real and wide-ranging threats for the information society. Detecting cyber-attacks becomes a challenge, not only because of the sophistication of attacks but also because of the large scale and complex nature of today’s IT infrastructures. It discusses novel trends and achievements in machine intelligence and their role in the development of secure systems and identifies open and future research issues related to the application of machine intelligence in the cybersecurity field. Bridging an important gap between machine intelligence, big data, and cybersecurity communities, it aspires to provide a relevant reference for students, researchers, engineers, and professionals working in this area or those interested in grasping its diverse facets and exploring the latest advances on machine intelligence and big data analytics for cybersecurity applications.
Download or read book NATIONAL CYBERSECURITY STRATEGY Key Improvements Are Needed to Strengthen the Nation s Posture written by and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Government officials are concerned about attacks from individuals and groups with malicious intent, such as criminals, terrorists, and adversarial foreign nations. For example, in February 2009, the Director of National Intelligence testified that foreign nations and criminals have targeted government and private sector networks to gain a competitive advantage and potentially disrupt or destroy them, and that terrorist groups have expressed a desire to use cyber attacks as a means to target the United States. The director also discussed that in August 2008, the national government of Georgia's Web sites were disabled during hostilities with Russia, which hindered the government's ability to communicate its perspective about the conflict. Statement of the Dire The federal government has developed a strategy to address such cyber threats. Specifically, President Bush issued the 2003 National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace and related policy directives, such as Homeland Security Presidential Directive 7,5 that specify key elements of how the nation is to secure key computer-based systems, including both government systems and those that support critical infrastructures owned and operated by the private sector. The strategy and related policies also establish the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as the focal point for cyber CIP and assign the department multiple leadership roles and responsibilities in this area. They include (1) developing a comprehensive national plan for CIP, including cybersecurity; (2) developing and enhancing national cyber analysis and warning capabilities; (3) providing and coordinating incident response and recovery planning, including conducting incident response exercises; (4) identifying, assessing, and supporting efforts to reduce cyber threats and vulnerabilities, including those associated with infrastructure control systems; and strengthening international cyberspace security.
