technologies for cyber security and defense applications

This paper aims to discuss strategies and technologies for data protection and the enhancement of cyber security networks in military and government organizations. Firstly, data protection involves implementing robust encryption protocols to safeguard sensitive information from unauthorized access. This includes encrypting data both at rest and in transit, ensuring that even if intercepted, the data remains unintelligible to unauthorized parties. Additionally, access controls should be enforced to limit data access only to authorized personnel, with multi-factor authentication being a critical component of this approach. Secondly, enhancing cyber security networks requires a multi-layered approach that combines technology, processes, and human expertise. This includes the deployment of intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDPS) to identify and mitigate potential threats in real time. By leveraging threat intelligence feeds and participating in information-sharing initiatives, military and government organizations can proactively identify and mitigate potential risks to their cyber security networks. This proactive approach is crucial for preventing data breaches and minimizing the potential damage caused by cyber-attacks.

The objective of this research is to develop a novel and an automated approach to compose the optimal and resilient risk mitigation planning by selecting the most critical security controls (CSC) considering affordable residual risk (risk appetite), budget, resiliency, and enterprise-oriented usability constraints.

This conceptual model is structured in pillars to simplify the CFI infrastructure. The goal of the study is to provide an empirical foundation for policymakers to develop a comprehensive framework for CFI in the country, and to offer insights and recommendations for improving the infrastructure to better combat cybercrime in Pakistan.

This work provides the academic community two components: a Strategic Cyber Security and Cyber Defense Model (SCSCDM), and the projection of cyber ambit as a new dimension in the operating environment of the Nation.

The purpose of this chapter is to present a general background on cyber security and defense for analysis and targeting. We will begin with a description of current thinking on cyber security systems, including layered defense. This will be followed by a review of end points, connections, and key network nodes in terms of their vulnerabilities and possible technical tools to secure them. Included in this survey will be a review of the cyber attack cycle, a look at organized malware (e.g., botnets) construction and its detection, and a reflection on the importance of understanding defended network terrain in order to develop a successful network defense strategy. In addition, we will look at the broader context of cyber defense, and how we might incorporate conceptual security architecture approaches (e.g., denial and deception) in order to improve the likelihood of success in securing and defending a network.

A systematic study of the security of any system requires the description of three concepts: the security goals we want to achieve, the threats we expect to face, and the mechanisms and tools we can use to protect the system.
