Deep Learning in Wazuh Intrusion Detection System to Identify Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) Attacks

2024-12-07T17:37:14+07:00

Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) pose a significant challenge in modern cybersecurity by leveraging persistent and sophisticated methods to compromise organizations. These threats employ advanced techniques such as encrypted communication, polymorphic malware, and log tampering, to evade detection, exfiltrate sensitive data, and disrupt critical infrastructure. Such characteristics often render conventional security measures ineffective in mitigating or preventing such attacks. This study adopted an experimental approach to assess the application of Wazuh, an advanced open-source security platform, in countering APT attacks. By simulating attack scenarios and analyzing real-time logs from diverse sources, Wazuh demonstrated strong intrusion detection capabilities, identifying attack patterns such as brute force attempts and unauthorized directory access. The findings underscore Wazuh’s effectiveness in enhancing organizational resilience by enabling rapid detection and response to suspicious activities. This research highlights how integrated log analysis can address the stealthy nature of APTs. Future studies should explore the integration of machine learning with platforms like Wazuh to further enhance automated and predictive threat detection capabilities, thereby strengthening defenses against evolving strategies of APTs.

Unveiling the Cybercrime Ecosystem: Impact of Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) in Indonesia

2024-12-27T20:01:50+07:00

This study explores the rise of Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) in Indonesia’s cybercrime ecosystem, highlighting its role as a significant digital security threat. RaaS lowers the technical barriers to executing ransomware attacks, enabling individuals with minimal expertise to launch sophisticated cyberattacks. Analyzing data from 2020 to 2024, this study identified Indonesia as a hotspot for RaaS-driven cybercrime in Southeast Asia due to low cybersecurity awareness and weak regulatory frameworks. Key findings reveal that government administration, healthcare, and finance are the most frequently targeted sectors due to their sensitive data and inadequate defense capabilities. Ransomware variants such as Luna Moth and WannaCry, dominate the malware landscape by employing tactics like phishing and exploiting outdated systems. These attacks result in severe socioeconomic consequences, including financial losses, operational disruptions, and reputational damage. This study contributes to our understanding of RaaS by examining its operational, economic, and regulatory dimensions in the Indonesian context. This underscores the urgent need for strengthened cybersecurity policies, public-private sector collaboration, and international cooperation to address transnational cybercrime. By providing actionable insights into attack patterns and mitigation strategies, this study aims to guide efforts to combat ransomware threats and enhance Indonesia’s digital resilience.

Literacy pantun is a form of oral literature that not only functions as entertainment but also as an educational tool for improving children’s language skills and critical thinking. This study aims to implement pantun literacy as a learning strategy in Sanggar Bimbingan Ampang, Selangor, Malaysia, to improve the literacy skills of children of Indonesian migrant workers (TKI). The method used in this program involves a participatory approach by introducing pantun, language games, practice of pantun, and pantun competition. The program was designed so that children can learn fun while remaining rooted in Malay culture, which is rich in moral values. The results demonstrated that pantun literacy improved the children’s language skills in terms of vocabulary, sentence structure, and creative thinking. Children who were initially less interested in literacy activities began to show greater interest in reading, writing , and communicating orally through pantun. The program also increased children's confidence in public speaking and strengthened their understanding of Indonesian culture, even though they grew up in an environment with more exposure to foreign cultures. The conclusion of this activity demonstrates that pantun literacy can be an effective strategy for improving children’s literacy skills through a culture-based approach. The success of this programme will encourage the integration of pantun literacy into language-learning in education centers and formal schools. For further development, support is needed in the form of providing adequate resources, training for educators, and utilizing digital technology so that pantun literacy can continue to be preserved and utilized as an innovative and interesting learning tool.
