An Empirical Investigation of Security Vulnerabilities within Web Applications

Building secure software is challenging, time-consuming, and expensive. Software vulnerability prediction models that identify vulnerable software components are usually used to focus security efforts, with the aim of helping to reduce the time and effort needed to secure software. Existing vulnerability prediction models use process or product metrics and machine learning techniques to identif...

Governing Information Technology (IT) and Security Vulnerabilities: Empirical Study Applied on the Jordanian Industrial Companies

The aims of this study is to evaluate information technology (IT) governance implementation using the COBiTs’ maturity model, investigate the perceived Security Threats that face these companies and measures the causality between them. An Empirical Survey using self-administered questionnaire has been carried out to achieve the study objectives. The study results reveal that Jordanian industria...

Analysis of Bgp Security Vulnerabilities

Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is a dynamic routing protocol in the Internet that allows Autonomous System (AS) to exchange information with other networks. The main goal of BGP is to provide a loop free path to the destination. Security has been a major issue for BGP and due to a large number of attacks on routers; it has resulted in router misconfiguration, power failure and Denial of Service ...
