The area of cybersecurity problems has reached the stage of becoming a science. This raises questions about the connection between the mathematical theories used in cybersecurity research and their relation to the methodology for experiments and conceptual models synthesized from the academic community. This research proposes an analytical review of the mathematical ideas used in applied cyber-security and theoretical explorations. This meta viewpoint is dedicated to standard mathematical theories applied in cybersecurity issues. The ground of the work is methodological problems relating to the validation of experiments and models with mathematical ideas in the cybersecurity exploration of digital space. This research emphasizes the application of game theory, catastrophe theory, queuing systems, and Markov chains. The methods are shown without claiming to be exhaustive. The goal is to review the currently established implementation of mathematical approaches to cybersecurity. A spectrum of possibilities for applying mathematical apparatus in future research for cybersecurity is given. After a review of the literature for each presented mathematical approach, we expose a list of problematic areas in which this has already been implemented.
The basic step in the design of a security operations center (SOC) is identifying the necessary functions it needs to perform. The article offers an analysis of the ICS SOC functionalities and is focused to create a part of the concept of operations before the real design of Shared ICS SOC. We offer a complex of functionalities of Shared ICS SOC and analyze their effectiveness. The survey is based on a review of the legal framework, the ICS security incidents, research on the gaps between cybersecurity products and real needs for the ICS and SCADA community. Shared SOC performs role of community service hub with integrated experience, supplying security services for multiple ICS. By outsourcing these services, a company can reduce security staff and focus on its core business.
