Latest Trends and Future Directions of Cyber Security Information Systems

Abstract

The significance of the information system security is critical issue for the organizations since it leads to big financial losses. The understanding of cyber security threats is not only an innovative requirement but also it is a conservative task. The rapid changes in technologies and services are major driving and leading concerns to the cyber security, requiring reassessment and renewal of standardized policies for counter measures to the resistant vulnerabilities. The main aim of this paper is to improve the understanding and perception of latest security threats, security counter measures, and the future trends of cyberspace security. Therefore, we look forward proposing a new classification model of security threats in order to generalize the impact of threats into classes rather than the impact of every individual threat. The importance of this study comes from the neediness to forecast the future trends of information system cyber security on the long basis, as well as the identification of future security measures that would be reliable. Cyber security models need to improve according to the situational awareness over all situations and at all levels in order to avoid conflicting interests and priorities.
