2015 Scalar Security Study Executive Summarypatmisasi
The document summarizes a study on the cyber security readiness of Canadian organizations. It finds that only 41% of respondents believe they are winning the cyber war due to challenges like lack of in-house expertise. Organizations experience an average of 34 cyber attacks per year, with almost half involving sensitive information loss. High-performing organizations that invest more in cyber security (12% of IT budget vs 8% for low performers) are better prepared to mitigate risks and experienced fewer attacks involving information loss (38% vs 53%). The practices of high performers can help organizations improve cyber security effectiveness.

The Stand Against Cyber Criminals Lawyers, Take The Stand Against Cyber Crimi...Symantec
Many law firms would suffer greatly from being breached due
to the extreme sensitive data they are handling on a daily basis.
Any cyber attack in this sector can be catastrophic so do lawyers
feel ready to stand against the rising tide of cybercrime?
With this in mind, Symantec, in conjunction with the law
publication Managing Partner, conducted a study into how law firms see cyber security.
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.
Most small and mid-sized tech and healthcare companies are maintaining or increasing their cybersecurity resources this year in preparation for inevitable cyber attacks. While half are increasing spending, most are investing in active response capabilities rather than infrastructure. Only a small minority of companies express high confidence in the security of their information, and many see serious business disruption risks from cyber attacks.

How Do Organizations Measure up on Securing their IoT Products?Capgemini
The potential trillion dollar Internet of Things (IoT) business opportunity rests precariously on one critical factor – security. 71% of executives in our survey agreed that security concerns will influence customers’ purchase decision for IoT products. However, despite increasing cyber attacks and ample warning from security experts, most organizations do not provide adequate security and privacy safeguards for their IoT products. In fact, only 33% of IoT executives in our survey believe that the IoT products in their industry are highly resilient to cyber security attacks. Further, despite rising consumer concerns regarding data privacy, 47% of organizations do not provide any privacy related information regarding their IoT products.
So, why are organizations lagging behind in securing their IoT products and systems? Key reasons for this include an expanded attack surface, inefficiencies in the IoT product development process, and the lack of specialized security skill-sets. For instance, our survey showed that only 48% of companies focus on securing their IoT products from the beginning of the product development phase. Building a secure IoT system begins with the recognition that security needs to be as much of a priority as the features and functionality of an IoT product. The report highlights the key measures that organizations must take in order to put security at the core of their IoT value proposition.
BSides Delhi 2018: Securing Supply Chain- A Risk Based Assessment FrameworkBSides Delhi
Presenter: Prithvinder Singh & Prashanth Sulegaon
Abstract:
What is supply chain security?
Supply Chain is a system of organizations, people, process, information, technology and resources involved in moving a product or service from a supplier
to the intended customer. An unsecured supply chain can introduce great risk to any organization and if vendors, solutions or hardware aren’t properly vetted, it can lead to huge data loss.
Why is it required?
An unsecured supply chain can introduce great risk to an organization. If vendor aren’t properly vetted, or if we purchase software that does not meet our security standards, we can lose data. These days several companies have had data breaches that allowed hundreds of millions of customer records to be compromised. On average, it takes 229 days after a breach for it to be detected. Often, these breaches were caused by a vulnerability in third-party software or services being exploited, costing companies tens of millions of dollars and damaging customers’ confidence.
In this Session:
Everyone knows, 3rd party softwares bring lot of risk to an organization. However does traditional vetting of supplier solutions work? Will it really reduce the risk? can we perform effective assessments? Is it scalable? Can we do continuous monitoring?
In this session we will talk about what are the risks currently associated with the 3rd Party Softwares and how to surface them for effective risk reduction. This session will focus on securing supply chain using risk based 3rd party framework which encompasses integration of multiple security checkpoints at various stages of solution life cycle
We will talk about:
* Supply Chain Universe
* Current challenges in Supply Chain Security
* Secure life-cycle of 3rd party software from on-boarding till termination.
* Supplier Risk Profiling
* Point in time vs Continuous Assurance
Cybersecurity for Board of Directors - CIO Perspectives Atlanta 2015Phil Agcaoili
Board of Directors are increasingly facing lawsuits related to data privacy and security breaches. To mitigate these risks, boards should regularly discuss data privacy and security issues, ensuring adequate resources are devoted to these areas. Recent reports show that breaches can occur at companies of all sizes, and that many companies have insufficient security budgets or expertise. Proper board oversight of cybersecurity is needed to establish responsible risk management practices and response plans for potential security incidents.
Summary based on IDG's 2021 Security Priorities study which provides insight into the security projects organizations are prioritizing in the coming year.
Wearables and Internet of Things (IoT) - MWC15Symantec
Wearable devices and Internet of Things (IoT) devices collect a large amount of personal data, but have significant security and privacy risks.

Taking the Pulse of IT Security for 2019: Results from Syncsort's Security Su...Precisely
In 2018 we saw multiple security regulations become effective – most notably the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). As a result, businesses already grappling with increasingly sophisticated cybersecurity attacks now must contend with additional regulatory requirements.
To check the pulse of IT teams managing security, Syncsort surveyed over 300 IT professionals on the state of security in their organization – and it's not surprising that the "growing complexity of regulations" was ranked as the #1 security challenge for 42% of the respondents in the year ahead.
Concerningly, 45% of the respondents reported that their organization had experienced a security breach in 2018 and the confidence reported by respondents did not align with their ability to prevent breaches and meet Service Level Agreements.
Hear from Syncsort’s security experts to learn what the survey revealed about:
• Security priorities and challenges for 2019
• Reported breaches and whether survey respondents met their breach response metrics
• Initiatives for strengthening security and achieving compliance in 2019
The document summarizes the results of a survey of 319 IT professionals about the state of IT security. Key findings include:
- 85% were confident in their organization's security program, though 41% reported a security breach in the past.
- Top security investments were internal staffing, network firewalls, virus protection and malware protection.
- Growing complexity of regulations and insufficient security staffing were the top security challenges.
- Top priorities for the coming year were security and cloud computing.
This document summarizes the key findings of the Foundry Security Priorities Study conducted in 2023. The study surveyed 790 IT and security professionals across industries to understand top security priorities and challenges. Some of the main findings include:
- Being prepared to respond to security incidents and protecting confidential data were the top security priorities for the coming year.
- Most common causes of past security incidents were non-malicious user error and unpatched software vulnerabilities.
- Meeting compliance regulations and budget constraints were among the biggest challenges distracting from strategic security tasks.
- Over half of respondents expected to see an increase in their security budgets in the next 12 months.

*Security Ratings Set The Standard, an April 2018 commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of SecurityScorecard
This presentation reviews key trends in the IT industry, including shifts in customer buying preferences, cloud computing, mobility, data, security and managed services
This document summarizes the findings of a security priorities study conducted in 2021. It outlines the top causes of security incidents, the average time before incidents are detected, and organizations' top security priorities for the next 12 months. These include preparing to respond to incidents, improving data protection and security awareness training. The document also lists the most common security tools organizations are evaluating and the top factors considered when determining security budgets.
CompTIA’s Building Digital Organizations study provides insights into the changing business dynamics and role of IT as cloud and mobility drive new technology solutions.
The survey found that 90% of security executives believe their organization is falling short in addressing cyber risks. Common issues included difficulty convincing others of risks, lack of resources, and expertise shortages. The top priority for 49% of respondents was being prepared to respond to security incidents. To address challenges, organizations are automating security functions, outsourcing some roles, and increasing budgets for cloud-based security services and access controls. Maintaining preparedness for incidents and improving employee training were also top priorities.
The document summarizes key findings from Cisco's 2018 Annual Cybersecurity Report. It finds that attackers have unprecedented sophistication and impact, are adept at evasion, and exploit new technology security gaps. Malicious binaries and encryption increased significantly from 2016 to 2017. Ransomware became more network-based in 2017. Most organizations now manage over half their infrastructure in the cloud. The document recommends that organizations educate employees, adhere to policies, assume ownership of IoT security, back up data often, and conduct security reviews of third parties and internal systems.
Federal Webinar: Leverage IT Operations Monitoring and Log Data to Reduce Ins...SolarWinds
According to the fourth annual Federal Cybersecurity Survey from SolarWinds and Market Connections, insider threats are the leading source of threats to federal agencies. Human error is one of the most common insider threats, followed by abuse of privileges, and theft. The increased sophistication of threats, volume of attacks, and end-user policy violations make agencies more vulnerable than ever. In this webinar, we discussed how implementing the right tools, as well as continuously monitoring systems and networks, can provide the data to make informed decisions and help agencies safeguard against insider threats, and quickly identify and fix vulnerabilities.
During this webinar our presenters discussed:
The 2017 SolarWinds Federal Cybersecurity Survey, and the top sources of threats
How the right tools and technologies can provide IT infrastructure data to help safeguard against malicious and non-malicious internal threats, including:

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
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.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
