The Security Threats And Security Architecture Design

It is not uncommon to find various organizations complaining about security flaws in their information systems. Failing to prevent or mitigate the security flaws may lead to system breakdown, errors, and loss of crucial information. This is why it is important for users of information systems to find the right solutions that can help counter and mitigate security flaws. One common problem with security flaws connected with information systems or networks is that the security flaws occur in multiples. Technological advances have, fortunately, made it possible for people and organizations to prevent and detect such security flaws using security strategies. Layered Security and Defense in Depth are two strategies that can help prevent attacks and protect information systems against security flaws. The two strategies are similar but are based on completely two different concepts. This paper compares and contrasts the Layered Security and Defense in Depth Strategies by explaining how each of the two functions. Additionally, the paper includes an explanation about the advantages and disadvantages of the two strategies.

Worldwide vehicular traffic has increased by 3.6% in the last year alone. With over a billion motorized “units” occupying our roadways, traffic is a number one topic. Whether we personally contribute to the growing number, or not we are nonetheless effected by it.

The use of IoT in the development of autonomous vehicles has led to the general reduction of fatalities (Sheng et.al, 2013). The reduction of fatalities is from the following aspects of driverless cars which are improved on by the use of IoT in the vehicle technology.

Another security measure is the implementation of the Multiple Independent Levels of Security Architecture (MILS). The MILS model is best used for high assurance systems as the structure of the model has stringent access controls and work flows which a regulated by a microprocessor. This model is simpler than others but offers tighter security.

Creating a security plan for a specific type of transportation infrastructure begins with understanding the infrastructure. This can be accomplished by conducting a risk assessment. The risk assessment process, regardless of the model used, will establish several things including vulnerabilities of the infrastructure, the likelihood of a vulnerability being attacked as well as the consequences of an attack. Much like the objectives of security, these aspects of a risk assessment are distinct, however, when taken together a systems view of the infrastructure begins to emerge and potential methods to mitigate the effects of an

Members of the Emergency Management Team or Team Coordinators will instruct all individuals to evacuate at Rally Point “X” located behind the church through word of mouth.

In this second part of article review, it will be mainly focused on the controllable part (Risk Management Framework, RMF).  The controllable part contains six different phases that work among the system development life cycle (SDLC).  The controllable phases provide the system developers a way to enable security controls, measure the risk level of data, and the system.  Combine both parts, it becomes a security framework to allow the system developers to go through the step-by-step process to gather useful system data,

Will you be driving KIT from the Knight Rider TV series? Well not exactly, but your car will be communicating with you to keep you safer. In the article car “Car-to-Car Communication”, Knight (2015) describes his experience with cars that communicate to help keep the vehicle’s occupants safer.

Driverless cars would be able to take safety features such as these to a more advanced level that would automatically make manoeuvres such as changing lanes suddenly or automatically slowing down at higher speeds. For example, when driving through heavy fog, the driver would find it difficult to see an oncoming traffic jam whereas an autonomous vehicle’s (AV) sensors would be alerted and would automatically slow the car down and alert the driver as to what was ahead. This system would also be useful if a driver was travelling on unfamiliar roads: the AV would be programmed as to the optimum speed to travel at certain times, eradicating the risk of an accident due to human error. A study by Benenson et al highlights that vehicle-to-vehicle communication may be an effective way of increasing safety with AV’s: cars would communicate with each other their plans of direction and position to ensure no collisions occurred.

Human beings are not perfect. Every day on highways, car accidents involving careless drivers occur. Some smashes even cost lives. New technology available can help reduce this issue. Google, for example, has started testing a new kind of vehicles to reduce casualties on the road. By eliminating the main cause of incidents, Google has created improved versions of cars that does not require a driver. Although much debate has arisen about whether these cars show be allowed, driverless automobiles should be on and going on the road because of their optimal equipment that make them safer, efficient, and convenient.

For example, self-driving cars are becoming more and more real every day. “Fully self-driving cars remain some years away. But new technology in the next five to 10 years will help cars park themselves, monitor the alertness of the driver and even communicate with each other to avoid collisions” (CNN). Self-driving cars could not only save energy, but reduce the amount of traffic on the road and cut down on accidents. Also, cars that are able to communicate with each other on the road are in the years to come. Christopher Neiger said, “But researchers aren't only considering V2V communication, vehicle-to-infrastructure communication, or V2I, is being tested as well. V2I would allow vehicles to communicate with things like road signs or traffic signals and provide information to the vehicle about safety issues. V2I could also request traffic information from a traffic management system and access the best possible routes” (Neiger). Cars that can communicate with others can make a huge difference in how many crashes there are on the roads and how much traffic there is, creating a safer and more efficient car for our families. Overall, cars of the future will be very different from our present day cars, hopefully making a safer world for us

There has been on ongoing battle between the United States governments and Silicon Valley for years and the battle is only going to grow. These battles between these entities involve the security of iPhones and other devices and the government's desire to access these devices in certain cases. With the advancement of technology in the last decade there has been a valiant effort made by these Silicon Valley companies such as Apple to secure their devices and ensure to their customers that their data is secured.

The new EVP system (Figure 4) would nominally consist of a smart communications device, i.e., cellphone or terrestrial emergency services radio transceiver, a terrestrial AM/FM radio transmitter, and a GPS-enabled tablet-type device with map software in the emergency vehicle. The smart communications device(s) would have two-way communications with a centralized traffic control center or system, broadcast one-way signals to the traffic lights along the route, as well

The concept of internet of vehicle is shown in Fig.10. The converging technologies of IoV are related to electric vehicle, autonomous vehicle etc. The IoV can also deals with the vehicle to vehicle (V2V), vehicle to device (V2D), vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) and vehicle to grid (V2G) communication.

Worldwide 1.2 million deaths are caused annually because of car accidents and one fourth of that is caused by injury and death later and that can change. People are already decreasing that statistic with other car advancements like automatic stopping so why do we need vehicle to vehicle communication “V2V communications”. Cars can sense other cars and obstacles nearby, but this is not as great as it seems. Cars can malfunction and get hacked by hackers easily with this kind of technology in them. I feel this technology is not worthwhile because it is an invasion of privacy, has hacking concerns, and other technology is available, though there are others that disagree with me they believe that the safety is strong, but its not.
