“…Sigholm and Raciti [140] also address data theft in wireless networks; though their focus is on mobile ad-hoc networks deployed for military operations. They apply a clustering approach to anomaly detection, using IP and transport-layer header information as the features.…”

Context: One of the main targets of cyber-attacks is data exfiltration, which is the leakage of sensitive or private data to an unauthorized entity. Data exfiltration can be perpetrated by an outsider or an insider of an organization. Given the increasing number of data exfiltration incidents, a large number of data exfiltration countermeasures have been developed. These countermeasures aim to detect, prevent, or investigate exfiltration of sensitive or private data. With the growing interest in data exfiltration, it is important to review data exfiltration attack vectors and countermeasures to support future research in this field. Objective: This paper is aimed at identifying and critically analysing data exfiltration attack vectors and countermeasures for reporting the status of the art and determining gaps for future research. Method: We have followed a structured process for selecting 108 papers from seven publication databases. Thematic analysis method has been applied to analyse the extracted data from the reviewed papers. Results: We have developed a classification of (1) data exfiltration attack vectors used by external attackers and (2) the countermeasures in the face of external attacks. We have mapped the countermeasures to attack vectors. Furthermore, we have explored the applicability of various countermeasures for different states of data (i.e., in use, in transit, or at rest). Conclusion: This review has revealed that (a) most of the state of the art is focussed on preventive and detective countermeasures and significant research is required on developing investigative countermeasures that are equally important; (b) Several data exfiltration countermeasures are not able to respond in real-time, which specifies that research efforts need to be invested to enable them to respond in real-time (c) A number of data exfiltration countermeasures do not take privacy and ethical concerns into consideration, which may become an obstacle in their full adoption (d) Existing research is primarily focussed on protecting data in 'in use' state, therefore, future research needs to be directed towards securing data in 'in rest' and 'in transit' states (e) There is no standard or framework for evaluation of data exfiltration countermeasures. We assert the need for developing such an evaluation framework.

“…Ulversoy [118] discussed SDR challenges and opportunities, while Kacpura et al [119] presented SDR architecture contributions for next generation space communications. Sigholm et al [120] presented a best-effort approach to Data Leakage Prevention (DLP) for inter-organizational Re-configurable Radio Systems (RRS)-based networks. The proposed architecture makes use of data mining techniques, and an efficient n-dimensional clustering algorithm which has previously been successfully used for real-time anomaly detection in critical infrastructure protection.…”

A Systematic Literature Review on Military Software Defined Networks

Software Defined Networking (SDN) is an evolving network architecture paradigm that focuses on the separation of control and data planes. SDN receives increasing attention both from academia and industry, across a multitude of application domains. In this article, we examine the current state of obtained knowledge on military SDN by conducting a systematic literature review (SLR). Through this work, we seek to evaluate the current state of the art in terms of research tracks, publications, methods, trends, and most active research areas. Accordingly, we utilize these findings for consolidating the areas of past and current research on the examined application domain, and propose directions for future research.

“…Anand and Vedhavarshini [13] proposed a hybrid scheme that is meant for securing communications in MANETs. Sighoml and Raciti [14] focused on data leakage prevention in MANET using best-effort approach. Abushag and Deepalakshmi [15] worked on the secure group communications in MANET without relying on a trusted third party.…”
