Energy supply remains the greatest challenge for many of Eastern European countries and their economy. In post-soviet and ex-Yugoslavian countries, till today there exists a system where some of the power plants rely on high voltage (HV) and medium voltage (MV) power grids in the process of distribution of electric energy (EE) to final consumers. This makes them vulnerable to solar storms due to HV power transformers which are especially sensitive to geomagnetic induced current (GIC). The acquisition of electrical power infrastructure could put the electrical infrastructure out of service from a couple of months to a year or more. Loss of income, for ordinary families, is a primary hazard of a long power outage. Business continuity of industry and other critical infrastructures (CI) is important in this scenario, but it is a significant challenge for small businesses and enterprises as well. This paper introduces ISO 31000 standard to such scenarios with the primary goal of achieving resilience of companies against such disaster as a new method of vial response to avoid scope of similar hazards.
Abstract:The paper is dedicated to the analysis of the most popular Open Source Web Content Management System. The paper presents basic concepts and results of the gathered information related to participation of three the most popular systems, during period 2008 to 2011. Based on this information, the paper shows the trends in the development and popularity on the market. Through analysis of available information it has been proven, that the practice already knows, that the three most prominent systems are: Word Press, Joomla and Drupal, and exactly in that order in which they appear. Around the globe many researches has been conducted in order to find out which of these three systems is the best and why, but this question remains unanswered. We want to indicate in the paper that each of three systems is the best in its area of use, depending on the purpose and level of knowledge of the users.
Nowadays the IT market is enriched with free Open Source Web Content Systems offers that are available to all users. No system is perfect, and some of them have better solutions in one segment but are more vulnerable in others and vice versa, all in order to be more user-friendly. The most common form of Content Management System (CMS) implemented on the Internet today is the Web Content Management System(WCMS). This solution includes numerous advantages for site administrators as well as communication with the site designer for all users in order to improve the content, through written remarks, opinions and evaluations of the site content, resulting in a more dynamic and interactive site. This modern approach offers users with a poor IT background the opportunity to be independent and creative in creating their own website. In this paper we present data collected from several websites monitored for various cyber-attacks. Moreover, we will describe and analyze security challenges that follow cyber-attacks. During the monitoring process we followed 15 web addresses over a period of nine months and collected 520 reports of various cyber-attacks. The following analysis presents the different kinds of attacks, their frequency and some of the ways to reduce cyber-attacks to the lowest possible level.
