Verification is central to any process in a functional and enduring cyber-secure organization. This verification ishow the validity or accuracy of a state of being is assessed (Schlick, 1936; Balci, 1998). Conversely, breakdownin verification procedures is core to the interruption of normal operations for an organization. A key problemfor organizations that utilize biology as an interlock within their systems is that personnel lack sufficient abilityto verify all practically relevant biological information for procedures such as a nurse logging a blood draw, or amolecular biology technician preparing agar to culture microbes for study. This has several implications, one ofwhich is our diminished ability to approximate and defend against emerging biologically-linked cyberthreats.These could be in the form of mis- or dis-information, contaminants, or calculated threats to vital supplies.Two important questions to ask are: “What may be the implications of diminished ability to undergo strictverification measures (such as triple redundancy and technological distancing).” And “how does this impactour ability to anticipate and make changes for verification of biological processes?” This paper aims to discusskey areas where verification gaps exist and how to bridgethos gaps. Towards this, we cover data integrity,implications of the lack of verification, triple redundancy, technological distancing, biosafety concerns, andmore. All of this will factor into the ability of organizations with proximity to biosecurity to anticipate nationalchanges to biological processes that are nationally relevant.

“…The interconnection of embedded technologies in the paradigm of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the increasing complexity of networks due to the continuous increase of web applications and business transactions, make networks more vulnerable to cyberattacks that can result in denial of service, unauthorized accesses and sensitive data theft or alteration [1]. Cyberattacks represent a threat in different fields of application, such as Industry 4.0 [2][3][4] and healthcare [5][6][7].…”

In recent years web applications and on-line business transactions have grown many folds. Consequently, also cyberattacks have increased and represent a serious threat to the pervasive digital services upon which our society relies. To mitigate cyberattacks, many countermeasures are deployed on computing nodes (e.g., anti-malware software) as well as on network devices to detect and possibly block malicious packets in transit; these monitoring devices broadly go under the name of firewalls. Firewalls are designed according to two main architectural approaches: software running on a standard or embedded computer, or purposedly designed hardware, e.g., ASICs. Software-based solutions have the advantage of high flexibility and can be ported on easily upgradable hardware. However, hardware implementation represents the only viable solution for high data rates. On the market, very fast devices of the latter kind are available, but their cost is typically very high, especially considering that their ultra-optimized design makes updating them very difficult, with the consequence of a rather short lifespan. As a more balanced alternative, we wanted to investigate the use of an FPGA architecture, , which is significantly easier to update than custom-built chips, and features low-latency and high-throughput characteristics concurrently, making it preferrable to other programmable systems based on GPUs or microcontrollers. In this paper a packet sniffer that has been designed on FPGA with a 1 Gbit/s data transfer rate is presented. The system is implemented on the FPGA development board KC705 by Xilinx, can analyze Ethernet frames, checking the frame fields against a set of rules defined by the user and calculates statistics of the received Ethernet frames over time. The designed packet sniffer has been successfully tested both with Ethernet frames ad hoc generated using a packets generator, and with real web traffic by connecting the packet sniffer to the internet.

“…Personal information protection technology can be divided into two main categories: rewall and encryption. A rewall is a type of network security that manages data entry and exit by monitoring received and transmitted information [7]. Although building a rewall on a network is expensive, it is generally one of the most effective data protection methods.…”

With the emergence of the 4th industrial revolution, demand for technologies that process and analyze big data in the healthcare has increased. As research is actively conducted, problems related to the protection of personal information included in healthcare data are being raised. We investigated privacy protection technology and their limitations applied to healthcare big data over the last decade to find solutions to these problems. For 4 technologies, blockchain, federated learning, differential privacy, and homomorphic encryption, we reviewed 10 studies each and summarized the used data, key findings, and limitations. It is necessary to establish a research environment that can utilize healthcare data, including sensitive personal and medical information of patients, more safely and widely by grasping the cases and current status of privacy protection technology. We aim to provide opinions on future research directions and insights of privacy protection technology to relevant researchers through this study.
