Insightful Research: The State of Mobile Application Insecurity Casey Lucas
The State of Mobile Application Insecurity
Customer need and demand often affect mobile application security. 65% of the participants in this study strongly agree that the security of mobile apps is sometimes put at risk because of expanding customer demand or need.
That said, the purpose of this research is to understand how companies are reducing the risk of unsecured mobile apps in the workplace.
Ponemon Institute surveyed 640 individuals involved in the application development and security process in their organizations on the following topics:
- Why mobile application security eludes many organizations.
- The difficulty in controlling employees’ risky behaviors.
- Are organizations taking the right steps to secure mobile apps?
We are pleased to present the findings of The State of Mobile Application Insecurity sponsored by IBM. The purpose of this research is to understand how companies are reducing the risk of unsecured mobile apps in the workplace.
This PPT discusses the increasing data breach incidents have enhanced the importance of CIOs and CISOs in the digitally transforming organizations, as they are responsible for implementing a successful application security testing strategy.

Mobile Security: Apps are our digital lives.Veracode
Every app that resides on our devices contains information on some aspect of our lives. What games we play, who we talk to, where we work, what utilities make our lives easier are all captured by our apps on our mobile devices. Anyone armed with this information can mimic our digital lives to friends, family, colleagues and even corporate systems. Who we are and what we know is valuable information – and not just for marketing folks like me.

You’ve studied the best practices, charted out your course and are ready to embark on your application security journey. But there is still one roadblock that could derail your entire program if you ignore it – getting buy-in from the rest of your company. You see, application security is unlike other forms of security in that it directly impacts the productivity of multiple teams outside the IT and security teams. Who are the groups you need to work with? At what point in the planning and execution stages should you engage with these teams? And why are they so concerned with your application security strategy? The answer to these questions can be found in this short, yet informative presentation. You'll learn about the teams you need to work with, and how to best communicate and work with them to ensure the success of your application security program.

The cyber security job is everyone's business including the Board of Directors, even without a cyber security degree. Recent cyber security news proves that. According to several studies, Boards are getting it wrong and are leaving cyber awareness and risk management in the hands of the CEO, CISO, CTOs and cyber security companies. In a sense they are abdicating their responsibility to the shareholders. This slideshare proposes 7 questions every board should be asking their company executives abour IT security. They're not necessarily all encompassing and don't take the place of real cybersecurity training, but will drive the discussion to better and more complete understanding of strategic risk. Questions cover the basics of cyber security training, cyber policies, who briefs and when at board meetings. Thanks.

Social Biz 101: A practical guide for getting started in Social MediaLaura Ciocia
This deck outlines the importance of socializing your business before you jump into the “sexy” or public side of Social Media. Brands know they need to get Social, as we’ve done a pretty good job of advocating the importance of “joining the conversation.” As a result, so much of the internal Social Media dialogue is centered around the tactical. But what far too many overlook before they tweet can easily jeopardize the success of a campaign or worse, the integrity of their brand.
This workshop delivered July 20, 2011 at FOSE 2011 described the elements of a social media governance framework, identified structural and policy statements to include in the social media policy, and describes strategies for capturing and managing social media-generated content as records.

Online Policies for Enabling Financial Companies to Manage Privacy Issues
NAME:
Course:

Introduction
Companies in the financial sector handle data that are priority for hackers.
Organizations invest in vast technologies for protecting the data from unauthorized access.
However, they do not adequately invest in behavioral measures for safeguarding the data.
Companies in the financial sector face numerous attempts by the cybercriminals who target stealing data stored in the systems. The corporations handle confidential data that could be used for committing crimes, such as impersonation and illegal transfer of money (Noor & Hassan, 2019). It is a major concern whether financial institutions have effective policies that ensure the data are properly secured from both internal and external threats. Financial companies, especially those that spread across the country have always focused on investing in technologies that promote the privacy of the data and the systems. They are deploying technologies, such as cloud computing, which promote the privacy of the data. Also, they use Bcrypt technologies to encrypt data via algorithms that will take hackers decades to decrypt a single password. Though they invest in such technologies that cost millions of dollars, there are questions whether they invest in behavioral measures to protect the data systems (Noor & Hassan, 2019). Such measures require the use of online policies that will ensure that internal and the external users can adhere to best practices that make them less vulnerable to attacks, especially the social engineering attacks that target unsuspecting users.

Literature Review
Financial companies have implemented policies for promoting desirable user behaviors.
They provide guidelines on how to use the networks.
They do not require the users to follow strict rules, which indicates the inefficiency of the policies.
Financial companies have implemented policies on how customers access their data remotely. Such policies outline the standards that customers must follow such as the multi-factor authentication, which aims at ensuring that no unauthorized users access the data (Suchitra &Vandana, 2016). The policies are communicated to the customers when they provide their data. It is an effective approach that mainly ensures that customer must follow certain guidelines that promote the overall security of the data. However, Timothy Toohey (2014) questions whether the policies apply to the side of the users who are very likely to exhibit behaviors that expose data to threats. For instance, the customers may use devices that have weak antimalware tools. Such devices create an avenue that a hacker can use and access the system.

2. Survey Information
Survey goal
• Uncover top concerns among SMBs about social
media, and draw correlations with actual incidence of
malware and ultimately financial loss
Who was surveyed?
• 315 representatives from U.S.‐based companies with
15‐1000 employees
• All participants involved in setting and/or enforcing
policies related to network activities
Timeframe
• Survey conducted during the month of July 2010
2 www.pandasecurity.com
3. Major Conclusions
Nearly a third of SMBs have been infected by social
media malware
35% of those infected suffered a financial loss, with more
than a third of those companies reporting $5,000+ in
losses
Facebook is driving the majority of social media‐related
infections as well as employee privacy violations
More than half of SMBs have adopted a social media
governance policy, including 25 percent blocking
employees from accessing popular social media sites via
gateway appliances and/or cloud solutions

28. The solution to Social Media threats?
Panda Cloud Internet Protection (PCIP)
PCIP provides policy‐driven secure web access delivered by and managed through
the cloud, combining protection against web‐borne threats with data leak
prevention and granular reporting of all Internet activities. By shifting security
management and implementation to the cloud, PCIP increases businesses’ control
over web‐based activities while saving time and money.
• Advanced threat protection: Beyond URL filtering, protect against Web 2.0
attacks, etc.
• Controlled access: You can control every aspect of your employees’ behavior –
which websites, how long, how much bandwidth, etc
• Fine Granularity: Control if employees can view or post on websites, use IM,
which file‐types allowed, etc.
• Correlated reports: In a single console, view your policies, transaction‐level
reports, analysis across all services (secure, web access, DLP)
