Exploratory study to explore the role of ICT in the process of knowledge management in an Indian business environment

In the 21st century and the emergence of a digital economy, knowledge and the knowledge base economy are rapidly growing. To effectively be able to understand the processes involved in the creating, managing and sharing of knowledge management in the business environment is critical to the success of an organization. This study builds on the previous research of the authors on the enablers of knowledge management by identifying the relationship between the enablers of knowledge management and the role played by information communication technologies (ICT) and ICT infrastructure in a business setting. This paper provides the findings of a survey collected from the four major Indian cities (Chennai, Coimbatore, Madurai and Villupuram) regarding their views and opinions about the enablers of knowledge management in business setting. A total of 80 organizations participated in the study with 100 participants in each city. The results show that ICT and ICT infrastructure can play a critical role in the creating, managing and sharing of knowledge in an Indian business environment

Analysis of a SCADA System Anomaly Detection Model Based on Information Entropy

SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) systems monitor and control many different types of critical infrastructure such as power, water, transportation, and pipelines. These once isolated systems are increasingly being connected to the internet to improve operations, which creates vulnerabilities to attacks. A SCADA operator receives automated alarms concerning system components operating out of normal thresholds. These alarms are susceptible to manipulation by an attacker. This research uses information theory to build an anomaly detection model that quantifies the uncertainty of the system based on alarm message frequency. Several attack scenarios are statistically analyzed for their significance including someone injecting false alarms or hiding alarms. This research evaluates the use of information theory for anomaly detection and the impact of different attack scenarios
