Abstract

The exponential increase of malicious and criminal activities in cyber space is posing serious threat which could destabilize the foundation of modern information society. In particular, unexpected network paralysis or break-down created by the spread of malicious traffic could cause confusion in a nationwide scale, and unless effective countermeasures against such attacks are formulated in time, this could develop into a catastrophic condition. As a result, there has been vigorous search to develop a functional state-level cyber-threat early-warning system: however, the efforts have not yielded satisfying results or created plausible alternatives to date due to the insufficiency of the existing system and technical difficulties. The existing cyber-threat forecasting depends on the individual experience and ability of security manager whose decision is based on the limited data collected from ESM and TMS. Consequently, this could result in a disastrous warning failure against a variety of unknown and unpredictable attacks. It is the aim of this paper to offer a conceptual design for “Knowledge-based Real-Time Cyber-Threat Early-Warning System, and promote further researches into the subject.
