Abstract: Today, computers play a prominent role in human life and e-business makes the lives of people easier. Online shopping and electronic trade benefit both customers and companies. Although the concept of e-business has many advantages, it also furnishes cybercriminals opportunities to access, steal and manipulate data. Thus, security requirements ought to be considered by managers who run their businesses via computers and the internet. One of the first steps to defining security requirements is threat and risk assessment, which may be done by cyberattack profiling. This paper aims to profile recent cyberattacks, investigate trends and relationships between distinct factors and based on those, give security policies as security countermeasures. The work described was presented at the 9th ICGSSS Conference in December 2013.
