Smart infrastructure integrates cyberphysical systems, self-organizing networks of devices, fog computing to enhance the quality and convenience of manufacturing and social life, providing efficient resource management and increasing productivity and availability of traditional services. New technologies are characterized with a high degree of heterogeneity, structural complexity, and dynamic topology that result in a large number of new information and cyber security threats. Given a high degree of integration of digital cyber space into the processes of management, monitoring, aggregation, and data transferring, an assessment of its security level is a necessary requirement to maintain and control a safe and reliable environment for handling data and performing physical processes. Risk analysis and assessment is an extremely important task at all stages of the life cycle of subsystems and components of the smart environment. It allows us to assess a level of protection, identify vulnerable assets, and counteract the most likely directions of security threats. The known methods for security risk assessment do not consider the features of modern smart technologies, and this forces us to search for new approaches. This paper proposes a comprehensive method that includes a calculation of security indicators, risk assessment and selection of protective measures, based on attack graphs and thus allows us to consider the dynamics of changes in the components of the smart infrastructure. The automated system for assessing the security risks in the smart infrastructure and choosing the protective measures has been implemented.

In the information interconnection scenario of the new generation wide-body aircraft, there is a large amount of real-time bi-directional data exchange between aircraft control domain and airline information services domain in civil aircraft avionics system, and its security isolation and information flow protection are facing increasingly serious information security threats. Therefore, a bi-directional secure communication architecture based on virtualization avionics platform is proposed in this study. The attribute-based access control for multiple avionics domain is modeling and the designs of protection for contract security critical data and real-time monitoring for security critical component effectiveness are given. Physical implementation and verification results based on the domestic ACoreOS operating system and avionics hardware platform show that the bi-directional secure communication method based on virtualization avionics platform achieves the spatial isolation of security critical components, the data transmit and receive time of ACD network is less than 50 ms, and the message transmit and receive rate of ACD network is greater than 70 Mb/s. These results can meet the performance requirements of secure communication between avionics network domains of wide-body aircraft, which have high practical value.

The Government and industry are currently using information and communication technology a lot. The Government and companies in Indonesia have regulations on operational standards and management procedures for information and communication systems security at Government regarding implementing information system security. Information security is essential because there are many threats to information security. Information security in this era of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is fundamental. Information Exchange Environment (IEE) vulnerabilities have increased as threats become more widespread and complex; therefore, information security has become a fundamental problem for businesses, organizations, and governments. So, in this paper, we will explain the review of the impact of Information Security For Government and companies in terms of threats and types of information security. Some security system methods are analyzed, among others—application Security, cloud security, Cryptography, security infrastructure, Incident response, and vulnerability management.

With increasing dependence on information technology and information system, enterprises are confronting with a more and more complicated information security environment. Thus, information security has become an intractable problem for many enterprises. Generally speaking, there are two methods to improve enterprises’ information security level, that is, technology and management means. Technology means mainly settle software and hardware security of computers and networks, while management means mainly regulate and restrain the entire enterprise system including software, hardware, and employees. At present, a lot of enterprises mostly employ the technology means to solve information security problems. However, the lack or imperfection of information security institutions leads to bad enterprise information security situation. Therefore, technology and management means to solve information security are complementary to each other. As such, it is urgent and necessary to establish and improve information security institutions for many enterprises. In fact, enterprise information security is a complicated activity which needs different sectors to get involved in. More specifically, the information security departments play the very critical role in the implementation of information security institutions, and all employees should comply with the information security policy. Therefore, only the top management teams have the ability to coordinate the relationship between different departments, determine the introduction of information technology, and deploy the information systems. In response, top management support has an important impact on the construct of information security institutions and the effectiveness of information security management. So far, few studies have investigated the mechanism that how top management support affects information security legitimation, and legitimation information security management. Therefore, it has great theoretical and practical significance to the exploration of whether the legitimation supported by top management can improve the effectiveness of information security management. The objective of the current study is to explore whether legitimation prompted by top management team can improve the effectiveness of enterprise information security management. By doing so, the data was collected from the enterprises which have passed the certification of information security management system, and analyzed by using PLS-SEM. The results indicate that information security awareness can improve top management support（including top management belief and top management participation）and the effectiveness of information security management respectively. In addition, top management belief can improve implementation（the first stage of legitimation）and internalization（the second stage of legitimation）. Moreover, implementation can improve the effectiveness of information security management. This paper analyzes the way to enhance effectiveness of information security management, which has a reality-oriented meaning for prompting information security management of enterprises from the standpoint of institution.
