A Model of a Cyber Defence Awareness System of Campaigns with Malicious Information

Abstract

Many organizations experience cyberattacks with the aim of the dissemination of malicious information. Situational awareness is a tool to counteract the campaigns of malicious information and reduce its dissemination. This article proposes a conceptual model for a cyber defence awareness system, which aims to support human operators to avoid this type of threat. The system will identify (classify) three campaign types of malicious information operations-malicious information injections in web content, malicious information injections in fake social network accounts, and malicious information dissemination via email messages. A model for identification of the type of campaign of malicious information operations based on Dempster-Shafer evidence theory is proposed. The work presented here is a part of the Cyber Rapid Analysis for Defence Awareness of Real-time Situation-CyRADARS project.

Generalized Net Model of the Water Resources Assessment Process and Water Use Management

“…They are used for modelling, for processing big data and the related need to ensure reliable protection of information resources. An attractive opportunity is to build on the experience of modelling information systems, 4,14 creating models in the field of cybersecurity 6,15,20 and the communication environment. 5,18 To support the process of water management, a common decision-making model for water use management is proposed here.…”
