So, what are the main security threats affecting SMEs and what defences could be put in place to eliminate or minimise these threats? First we need to ask if there is a problem regarding security against SMEs and if so how large is this problem? Looking at the BIS ISBS 2015 we can clearly see a worrying increase in breaches when compared to the slight decrease that was reported in the surveys report of 2014. 74% of small businesses reported a breach in 2015 up from 60% a year ago. (BIS, 2015) Of…

Traditionally, power grid architectures were standalone systems that consisted of proprietary protocols traversing legacy hardware and software systems (Li et al., 2012). Power grid automation systems using this type of architecture carried high operating costs that power companies found to be inefficient over time (Kuder et al., 2010). Due to this inefficiency, power companies began to integrate the operation of power grid automation systems into public networks. This integration served its…

Americans have laid cheek and jowl with terrorism for many years, especially since the events of September 11, 2001. While terrorism is usually concerned with bombings, kidnappings or hijackings, some forms of terrorism are much more costly regarding monetary expense. It is estimated that cyber terrorism costs the consumers at least 100 billion dollars a year, although that is only a rough estimate. Company costs for cybercrime can come from the following areas: loss of intellectual property or…

This protocol is a variation of HTTP that provides the secure foundation for SSL transmission. S-HTTP performs what is known as a handshake when establishing a connection to exchange keys and creates an encrypted connection. Addresses to an SSL secure page use the prefix "https" instead of the common "http." Therefore, a secure page address would read https://www.hotmail.com The public-key system requires that each party have a public and a private key. These keys must be generated by a trusted…

3.1 Understanding Cloud Computing (IBM, 2014 [17]) Cloud computing, often referred to as simply ‘the cloud’ is the delivery of on-demand computing resources everything from applications to data centres over the internet on a pay-for-use basis. Cloud computing is the practice of using a network of remote servers hosted on the Internet to store, manage, and process data, rather than a local server or a personal computer. The salient characteristics of cloud computing based on the definitions…

While ubiquitous Internet access is extremely convenient and enables marvelous new applications for mobile users, it also creates a major security vulnerability—by placing a passive receiver in the vicinity of the wireless transmitter, that receiver can obtain a copy of every packet that is transmitted! These packets can contain all kinds of sensitive information, including passwords, social security numbers, trade secrets, and private personal messages. A passive receiver that records a copy of…
