A to Z of Business Continuity Managment
Business continuity is a far reaching topic that many business owners and managers do not think about until it is too late. ‘It will never happen to me’ until it does and then the majority of businesses cease to exist within 2 years of a serious incident.
Yes, business continuity can take a few months to implement properly. Yes, it takes some effort, resource and money to implement and maintain and Yes, it takes some focus away from all the urgent things on your to do list for a short time. BUT an implemented, tested and accredited Business Continuity Management System can win you new business, help you retain existing business and ultimately, should the worst happen, keep you in business!
In this A to Z I’ll be talking about some of the main terminology that Business Continuity Practitioners will bamboozle you with. I should know, I am one!

3 Keys to Web Application Security
Web applications are under siege as hackers work around the clock to identify weak spots and steal data. Last year’s Equifax data breach put a spotlight on web-application vulnerabilities, which can be used to target any organization with an internet presence.
Cyber attackers have embraced the use of automation to scan applications for vulnerabilities. Protecting against application-layer techniques such as SQL injection (SQLi), cross-site scripting (XSS), cross-site request forgery (CSRF) and distributed denial of service (DDoS) is imperative, but automated attacks can overwhelm existing security solutions.
Join us to learn:
• How to maintain awareness of evolving web application issues and trends
• Tips for advancing patch management and vulnerability assessment processes
• Solutions that leverage DDoS defenses, bot mitigation, artificial intelligence (AI) and API endpoint protection to combat automated attacks
• Techniques for protecting apps in multi-cloud infrastructures
• Best practices for ensuring security checks and controls are applied automatically and transparently throughout the software development lifecycle.
Best Practices for Multi-Factor Authentication: Delivering Stronger Security ...
Last year, the impacts of the WannaCry, NotPetya, and Equifax cyber attacks were closely followed by the stunning disclosure of the Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities, increasing the sense of urgency around cybersecurity and driving spending higher than ever before.
Despite increased spending on security products and services, the number of data breaches continues to rise. Funding doesn’t guarantee successful security. Organizations often waste valuable resources on practices that fail to protect against evolving threats, and continue to prop up password security.
View to learn:
• Why the latest version of the CIS Controls has removed all references to passwords
• How multi-factor authentication (MFA) can make access hard for hackers, but easy for users
• The advantage of risk-based authentication mechanisms
• Best practices for avoiding MFA implementation pitfalls
Optimizing Your IT Strategy: 5 Steps to Successfull Hybrid IT
When you look at your calendar, browse your favorite tech news sites and leaf through your interoffice mail, one topic likely keeps coming up: the benefits of cloud services. Dropbox, Salesforce, Workday and more reside in the cloud, but at your organization, you’ve relied on homegrown applications or an ill-fitting, slow-moving cloud strategy. If you move everything to the cloud, what kind of risk will you incur? What (or who) will you lose, and how painful will the move be?
A carefully planned and executed hybrid IT strategy ensures that you’ll get the most from your cloud and on-premises solutions. Without an effective cloud strategy in place, you’re likely to become overwhelmed to the point of inactivity. Fear of losing ground to the competition, pressure to keep costs down and a genuine lack of knowledge about the best path forward could keep you in limbo forever.
Join us to learn:
--Best practices for hybrid IT implementation
--Advantages and disadvantages of hybrid IT
--Tips for leveraging the latest hybrid IT tools
--How to find the right mix of traditional, on-prem environments, along with private and public clouds
Optimizing Security Operations: 5 Keys to Success
Organizations are suffering from cyber fatigue, with too many alerts, too many technologies, and not enough people. Many security operations center (SOC) teams are underskilled and overworked, making it extremely difficult to streamline operations and decrease the time it takes to detect and remediate security incidents.
Addressing these challenges requires a shift in the tactics and strategies deployed in SOCs. But building an effective SOC is hard; many companies struggle first with implementation and then with figuring out how to take their security operations to the next level.
Read to learn:
--Advantages and disadvantages of different SOC models
--Tips for leveraging advanced analytics tools
--Best practices for incorporating automation and orchestration
--How to boost incident response capabilities, and measure your efforts
--How the NIST Cybersecurity Framework and CIS Controls can help you establish a strong foundation
Start building your roadmap to a next-generation SOC.
Keep Calm and Comply: 3 Keys to GDPR Success
Recent surveys benchmarking the status of U.S. companies' efforts to meet the May 25 deadline for the EU Global Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) have revealed a startling lack of preparedness.
Companies not yet in compliance are likely to violate the directive if they don’t take immediate action, and fines can amount to 2-4 percent of a company’s annual gross revenue. Do you have the resources and information you need to comply?
View to learn:
--What GDPR means to your business
--Short, medium, and long-term actions you can take to protect regulated data and achieve compliance
--How you can streamline incident response and third-party risk management capabilities
--How to streamline the resources and technology needed to keep up with the evolving regulatory landscape
Don't fall behind on these compliance regulations. Take the steps needed to protect the data you collect.
Beyond backup to intelligent data management
Backup isn’t going away, but it is changing. Data is now one of your company’s most valuable assets, but you may be challenged to leverage it for competitive and operational advantage. More flexibility, visibility, and intelligence into data is needed. As well as improved insights into where data resides and its importance in the business hierarchy.
Increased efficiency, effectiveness, and control is the goal. Are you ready to modernize backup from a transactional process to a forward-thinking strategy?
View to learn:
--New questions you should be asking about where your data lives, who owns data decisions, and what’s optimal for the business.
--Keys to jump-starting modernization.
--What improved visibility and intelligence into data delivers.
--Why multi-cloud management and risk assignment are essential to protecting your most valuable data.
The future of storage is here, so don’t get left behind—start planning your next move.
Making the Jump to Hyperconvergence: Don't Get Left Behind
Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) is more than just software-defined storage—it’s a completely software defined architecture. It offers public-cloud-simplicity in a private-cloud-environment.
Seems like an obvious win-win, but many IT organizations stall to make the jump. Don’t let your business get left behind.
View to learn:
--What HCI is and how it is proving to be a game-changer for companies.
--Why lack of flexibility, resources and expertise are common pain points.
--The biggest adoption barriers and how you can break through them.
--The best use cases for HCI and opportunities you can capitalize on when you make the jump.

Addressing the EU GDPR & New York Cybersecurity Requirements: 3 Keys to Success
The EU Global Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and New York State Cybersecurity Requirements for Financial Services Companies (23 NYCRR 500) represent a landmark change in the global data protection space. While they originate in different countries and apply to different organizations, their primary message is the same:
Protect your data, or pay a steep price. More specifically, protect the sensitive data you collect from customers.
With deadlines looming, is your organization ready?
The time to act is now. Read more to learn:
--Key mandates and minimum requirements for compliance
--Why a comprehensive data-centric security strategy is invaluable to all data protection and data privacy efforts
--How you can gauge your organization’s incident response capabilities
--How to extend your focus beyond the organization’s figurative four walls to ensure requirements are met throughout your supply chain
The first New York requirements deadline has arrived. With the next deadline of mandates only 6 months away, you don't want to fall behind and leave your organization at risk for potential penalties and fines.
Security Incident and Event Management (SIEM) - Managed and Hosted Solutions ...
SIEM technology has been around for years and continues to enjoy broad market adoption. Companies continue to rely on SIEM capabilities to handle proactive security monitoring, detection and response, and regulatory compliance. However, with today’s staggering volume of cyber-security threats and the number of security devices, network infrastructures and system logs, IT security staff can become quickly overwhelmed.
Gartner projects that by 2020:
-- 50% of new SIEM implementations will be delivered via SIEM as a service.
-- 60% of all advanced security analytics will be delivered from the cloud as part of SIEM-as-a-service offerings.
6 Ways to Deceive Cyber Attackers
Traditional prevention and detection methods are being bypassed, and many organizations either don’t know what to do, or they don’t have the right resources in place to advance their security.

View to learn:
--The value of defensive deception to enterprise cyber-security efforts
--Deception technologies that can help you lure and divert attackers
--Techniques and tactics for detecting and disrupting an attacker’s lateral movement
--The typical inflection point for deterring the majority of attacks
Your Cloud Strategy: Evolution or Revolution
Digital Transformation is the new black in IT.
Every business needs IT to be faster, cheaper and more flexible. Traditional IT cannot adapt to the new rules in many markets. In an increasingly disruptive competitive environment, digital transformation through cloud looms as an inevitability.
You need a cloud strategy, however, many organizations struggle with the “what, why, where and how.” You must honestly and thoroughly assess your current state and your future needs, with very clearly defined expected business outcomes. A plan is key; it can be very difficult to get to a new destination without map or a GPS.
Can you methodically evolve and optimize your IT, or is a revolution required now to save your business from getting left behind? View to learn:
--Key questions to ask yourself to understand if you need an IT evolution or revolution.
--Use cases that can drive the pace and scope of your digital transformation.
--What evolution and revolution look like in practice.
--How this approach sets you up to create the right cloud strategy for your business.
Maturing Endpoint Security: 5 Key Considerations
Endpoints are everywhere, and endpoint security is evolving. Endpoints also remain the most attractive target for hackers as a point of entry for attacks because they’re connected to the weakest link in enterprise data protection: humans.
View the SlideShare to learn:

Open Source, Open Mindset: 4 Keys to Continuous Cloud Transformation
IT professionals must adopt an entrepreneurial mindset to keep pace with continuous change, market trends, quickly launched solutions, and new customer demands. Slow-moving enterprises relying on legacy technologies are falling behind—Uber doesn’t own a single vehicle, yet it turned the taxi industry upside down. Leveraging cloud-based technologies is the fastest way to enable transformation.
Whether you want to modernize, innovate, or both, take a cue from open source developers. Open source enables continuous transformation with quick deployment of new agile features while keeping things in check through continuous inspection.
How can you make open source work for your organization? Learn about:
--Why a collaborative mindset leads to more effective technologies that can evolve as needed.
--How to establish cloud governance so all your data is compliant and secure.
--Why open source doesn’t mean outsource and how to revitalize your team.
--The importance of a “fail fast” culture in which you learn from mistakes, innovate, and drive business value.
--How real companies have made it happen.

Learn about the seven essential services that your data center solutions provider should provide you in 2016 and beyond.
10 Keys to Data-Centric Security
It is no longer enough to focus our efforts on networks and endpoints. As IT changes continue to occur, organizations need to keep pace and advance their security by focusing on the data itself through the development of a data-centric security program.
A comprehensive data-centric security strategy includes the following 10 key elements:
1 - Data discovery
2 - Data classification
3 - Data tagging & watermarking
4 - Data loss prevention
5 - Data visibility
6 - Encryption strategies
7 - Enhanced gateway controls
8 - Identity management
9 - Cloud access
10 - Continuous education
This presentation contains a synopsis of each element. As organizations develop a data-centric security program, it is important to assess current maturity levels and determine which areas need to be prioritized and remediated first.
5 Keys to Addressing Insider Threats
Cyber attacks carried out by nation-states and cybercrime rings often get the headlines, but insider threats can be far more costly and damaging. A recent cyber security study by Ponemon points to insiders as the most costly source of attacks at an average of nearly $145,000 each, and incidents involving insiders also take the longest to resolve, averaging 54 days.
What you will learn:
--The types of insiders behind these threats.
-- How to determine if your organization is doing enough to address them.
--Five key elements to building an effective insider threat strategy.
--How to move beyond IT and treat these threats as an operational issue that crosses people, process and technology.
6 Steps for Operationalizing Threat Intelligence
The best form of defense against cyber attacks and those who perpetrate them is to know about them. Collaborative defense has become critical to IT security, and sharing threat intelligence is a force multiplier. But for many organizations, good quality intelligence is hard to come by.
Commercial threat intelligence technology and services can help enterprises arm themselves with the strategic, tactical and operational insights they need to identify and respond to global threat activity, and integrate intelligence into their security programs.
Threat intelligence sources have varying levels of relevance and context, and there are concerns about data quality and redundancy, shelf life, public/private data sharing, and threat intelligence standards. However, if processed and applied properly, threat intelligence provides a way for organizations to get the insight they need into attackers’ plans, prioritize and respond to threats, shorten the time between attack and detection, and focus staff efforts and decision-making.
View to learn:
--The difference between threat information and threat intelligence.
--Available sources of intelligence and how to determine if they apply to your business.
--Key steps for preparing to ingest threat information and turn it into intelligence.
--How to derive useful data that helps you achieve your business goals.
--Tools that are available to make collaboration easier.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI support
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object Calisthenics
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex Proofs
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and Sales
Clients don’t know what they don’t know. What web solutions are right for them? How does WordPress come into the picture? How do you make sure you understand scope and timeline? What do you do if sometime changes?
All these questions and more will be explored as we talk about matching clients’ needs with what your agency offers without pulling teeth or pulling your hair out. Practical tips, and strategies for successful relationship building that leads to closing the deal.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
