Incident response is a critical security function in organisations that aims to manage incidents in a timely and cost-effective manner. This research was motivated by previous case studies that suggested that the practice of incident response frequently ...

In the context of Statistical Disclosure Control, microaggregation is a privacy-preserving method aimed to mask sensitive microdata prior to publication. It iteratively creates clusters of, at least, k elements, and replaces them by their prototype so ...

This paper aims at surveying the extrinsic and intrinsic motivations that influence the propensity toward compliant information security behavior. Information security behavior refers to a set of core information security activities that have to be ...

Driven by expanding scientific computing and business enterprise needs, the last decade has seen a shift toward software paradigms in which distribution plays a central role. The increasing size, complexity and heterogeneity of the corresponding systems ...

MP3 audio is a promising carrier format for covert communication because of its popularization. In this paper, we propose an MP3 steganographic method by exploiting the rule of window switching during encoding. The method carries out embedding by ...

Keystroke Dynamics, which is a biometric characteristic that depends on typing style of users, could be a viable alternative or a complementary technique for user authentication if tolerable error rates are achieved. Most of the earlier studies on ...

The increasing number of network attacks causes growing problems for network operators and users. Thus, detecting anomalous traffic is of primary interest in IP networks management and many detection techniques, able to promptly reveal and identify ...
