Insiders Guide to Social Engineering - End-Users are the Weakest LinkRichard Common
This book is your guide to helping you detect and prevent social engineering attacks, and to better understand how to defend your company from what has grown to become the dominant global cyber threat.
Cybercrime is nothing new. What is different now is the intimacy, reach and size of those attacks. There are hundreds of billions in losses each year. This unsettling state of affairs has created a binary world with really only two kinds of companies: those that have been hacked and admit it, and those that have been hacked and don't admit it or don’t know it yet. Worse yet, for the vast majority of individuals, very few of us have been untouched whether we know it or not.
In NTT i³’s book “CyberCrime: Radically Rethinking the Global Threat,” Rich Boyer, Chief Architect for Security and Dr. Kenji Takahashi, VP Product Management for Security examine the current arms race between cybercriminals and their diverse and agile toolkits and the radically new approaches to cybersecurity that the enterprise must adopt to compete and win.
The document discusses the importance of remote network monitoring software for small to mid-sized companies to protect sensitive data from theft or damage through unauthorized access of employee devices. It provides an overview of N-central network monitoring software, which allows managed service providers to monitor company networks in real-time and control access of portable devices to prevent data leaks and security breaches. Pricing and contact details are provided for small businesses interested in the remote monitoring software and services.

Social Engineering-The Underpinning of Unauthorized AccessKory Edwards
This document discusses social engineering and how it enables unauthorized access. Social engineering relies on exploiting human tendencies rather than technical vulnerabilities. The document explores how Edward Snowden used social engineering to gain access to NSA systems by persuading coworkers to provide their credentials. It examines why information security programs fail to prevent social engineering, despite training, due to human factors like lack of motivation. Common social engineering attack types are discussed, including insider threats, external threats, and the tactics used like appealing to human tendencies like authority, scarcity, and liking. The document argues a new approach is needed that incorporates social intelligence concepts to make employees less susceptible to social engineering.
Social engineering is the use of deception to manipulate people into divulging confidential information. It relies on human tendencies to trust others and takes advantage of "the weak link" in security - users. There are two categories of social engineering attacks: technology-based approaches that deceive users into thinking they are interacting with real systems, and non-technical approaches using deception alone. Common tactics include phishing emails, phone calls (vishing), pretending to be technical support, and observing users (shoulder surfing). Organizations can help prevent social engineering by having security policies, training employees, and monitoring compliance.
The document discusses security risks and regulations for Mexican brokerage firms. It highlights key findings from an IBM security report, including that attacks continue across security domains like vulnerabilities, malware, and phishing. The document also discusses IBM security solutions like intrusion prevention, data security products, and security consulting services that can help firms address risks and regulatory requirements.

Through a systematic review of recent studies, the analysis identified that providing training for employees to understand social engineering risks and how to avoid attacks is important for protection. Key measures identified include awareness programs, training non-technical staff, implementing new security networks and protocols, and using software to address social engineering threats. The review examined 30 studies on measures, policies and tools adopted by organizations and found that education, training, and awareness programs are effective at enhancing employee behavior and defenses against social engineering.
Cybercrime involves any criminal activity that uses a computer, networked device, or network. Some cybercrimes are carried out for profit, others aim to damage or disable devices, and some spread malware or illegal materials. Common cybercrimes include hacking, identity theft, scams, computer viruses, and ransomware. Cybercrime can have public health and national security impacts, so combating it is a priority for law enforcement agencies like the FBI and DHS. Cybercriminals operate wherever there is opportunity, from individual cyberbullies to state-sponsored hackers in countries like China.

Information Security Issues Faced by Organizations In any organization, Information Security threats may be many like Software assaults, theft of intellectual belongings, identity robbery, theft of gadget or statistics, sabotage, and facts extortion. A risk can be something which could take gain of a vulnerability to breach security and negatively adjust, erase, damage object or gadgets of interest. Software attacks imply an attack by Viruses, Worms, Trojan Horses and so forth. Many customers consider that malware, virus, worms, bots are all the same matters. But they're now not identical, the simplest similarity is that they all are malicious software program that behaves differently. Apart from these threats, there are some headache information security threats they are: Cyberattack Threats: - Cyber-attacks are, of course, establishments’ pinnacle problem. There are many methods cybercriminals can target companies. Each will motive distinct types of harm and need to be defended in opposition to in one-of-a-kind methods. Some attacks, consisting of phishing campaigns, are typically designed to thieve private information. Others, such as ransomware and denial-of-carrier assaults, have several feasible pursuits, ranging from extorting cash to disrupting business operations for political reasons. Cyber threats, unfortunately, are getting an increasing number of risks in these days clever international. But what precisely is cyber risk? A cyber threat is an act or viable act which intends to scouse borrow records (non-public or in any other case), damage records or motive a few types of digital damage. Today, the time period is nearly exclusively used to explain records safety topics. Because it’s tough to visualize how digital signals touring throughout a cord can represent an assault, we’ve taken to visualizing the virtual phenomenon as a bodily one. A cyber-attack is an assault this is hooked up in opposition to a corporation (that means our digital gadgets) making use of cyberspace. Cyberspace, a digital space that doesn’t exist, has grown to be the metaphor to assist us to understand virtual weaponry that intends to harm us. What is actual, but, is the purpose of the attacker as well as the potential impact. While many cyberattacks are mere nuisances, a few are quite serious, even potentially threatening human lives. Malware: - Software that plays a malicious project on a goal tool or community, e.g. Corrupting facts or taking on a machine. Ransomware: - An attack that involves encrypting information on the goal system and traumatic a ransom in alternate for letting the consumer has got right of entry to the facts again. These assaults range from low-level nuisances to severe incidents just like the locking do.

Elements of effective cybersecurity programs and incident response planning are outlined to help mitigate risks and consequences.
Invesitigation of Malware and Forensic Tools on Internet IJECEIAES
Malware is an application that is harmful to your forensic information. Basically, malware analyses is the process of analysing the behaviours of malicious code and then create signatures to detect and defend against it.Malware, such as Trojan horse, Worms and Spyware severely threatens the forensic security. This research observed that although malware and its variants may vary a lot from content signatures, they share some behaviour features at a higher level which are more precise in revealing the real intent of malware. This paper investigates the various techniques of malware behaviour extraction and analysis. In addition, we discuss the implications of malware analysis tools for malware detection based on various techniques.

Introduction
The latest IT sector is faced with several risks. The revolution has a chance with the manufactures of digital supply networks and smart technologies. The revolution is growing at a fast rate which leads to the increase of cyber-attacks. The interconnection of the digital systems leads to the significant rise of cyber-attacks. Some of the firms faced with cyber-attacks are not ready to face the issue of cyber-crime. IT firms need to be organized, vigilant, and resilient to deal with any risk that may arise (Evans, 2019). They need to put strict measures that will help them tackle any issue on its initial before it destroys different organizations.
Background of the problem
Cybersecurity is also referred to as information technology. Cybersecurity is the process which involves protecting networks, systems, and programs from digital attacks. Cybersecurity has been designed in a way that people try to gain access to applications without easily. Cybersecurity attacks intend to manipulate data, interrupt the functionality of the cyber, destroy digitally stored data as well as demand for money from data owners.
The attacks tend to gain access within the information technology so as they can easily manipulate the data. Most industries today have been affected by cybersecurity attacks. Their information has been managed, leading to loss of money. According to Singer and Friedman (2014), coming up with useful cybersecurity measure is a challenge since it requires a lot of time and attention to implement them. Cybersecurity criminals have also evolved and devised modern means and innovations on how they attack industries.
Cybersecurity can be termed as coming up with different practices into the existing systems to ensure credibility, availability, and integrity of information. The challenges faced with IT organizations can be solved with better practices and measures put in place. Organizations use advanced technology to detect any form of attack. The systems are well protected in a way that they cannot be manipulated. The firms will be on the safe side as they will not lose any data to hackers. They will also transform their technology to a new level.
The threats have been said to come in different forms such as ransom ware, malware attacks, and phishing and exploit kits. They have become more complicated due to the growing technologies in organizations. The IT firms have revolutionized over the years up to date. They use the latest technology, such as the use of robots, to make the work easier. Once these threats attack the machines, the machine fails hence will not be valid.
The organizations, therefore, need to come up with the latest techniques that will help them protect their technology. The m ...
This technical paper from the Mother Teresa Institute of Science & Technology discusses cognitive hacking. It defines cognitive hacking as a computer attack that relies on changing users' perceptions to be successful, unlike typical attacks. The paper outlines different types of cognitive hacking attacks, including ones using misinformation from single or multiple sources. It discusses legal issues around cognitive hacking and potential countermeasures, such as authentication and detecting colluded information sources. The conclusion states that cognitive hacking requires new technical and legal approaches due to its novel threat of manipulating human behavior.

Implications of Misuse and Cyber Security.pdfsrtwgwfwwgw
Implications of Misuse & Cyber Security discusses various forms of computer misuse including using stolen credit cards, financial fraud, and vulnerabilities in computer systems. It covers topics like cybersecurity, computer system vulnerabilities, threats like spyware, hackers and viruses. It also discusses countermeasures to prevent threats like strong passwords, firewalls, anti-virus software and keeping software updated. Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks are explained as attempts to overwhelm networks through large traffic volumes. Internal vulnerabilities include access control issues, malware, and vulnerability scanning. Computer misuse related to cyberbullying can psychologically impact individuals and negatively affect organizations.
IT Vulnerabilities - Basic Cyberspace Attacks- by Lillian Ekwosi-EgbulemLillian Ekwosi-Egbulem
This document discusses several common types of basic cyber attacks including internet fraud, destructive attacks, theft of intellectual property, and denial of service attacks. It provides examples of each type of attack, describing the motives and damages caused. Countermeasures are suggested to prevent each attack, such as installing security software, monitoring network activity, and enforcing access controls and policies. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of protecting information and systems given the economic and security impacts of vulnerabilities.
This document discusses system vulnerabilities and securing information systems. It begins by defining security and controls, and explains why systems are vulnerable, including issues with large networks like the Internet. It then describes various types of malicious software like viruses, worms, and Trojan horses that can exploit system vulnerabilities. The document also discusses hackers and computer crimes such as denial of service attacks and identity theft. It emphasizes the business value of security and control and legal requirements around protecting information. Finally, it outlines how organizations can establish a framework for security, including information system controls.
The document discusses several key topics related to information security, cyber law, and digital technologies:
1. It defines important concepts like information security, cybercrime, malware, spam, intellectual property rights, digital signatures, and provides examples.
2. It outlines Nepal's cyber law called the Electronic Transaction Act and some key cybercrime statistics in Nepal.
3. It discusses Nepal's ICT policy from 2015 which aims to transform Nepal into an information and knowledge-based society and achieve goals like universal internet access and digital literacy by 2020.

54 Chapter 1 • The Threat Environment
FIGURE 1-18 Cyberwar and Cyberterror (Study Figure)
Nightmare Threats
Potential for far greater attacks than those caused by criminal attackers
Cyberwar
Computer-based attacks by national governments
Espionage
Cyber-only attacks to damage financial and communication infrastructure
To augment conventional physical attacks
Attack IT infrastructure along with physical attacks (or in place of physical attacks)
Paralyze enemy command and control
Engage in propaganda attacks
Cyberterror
Attacks by terrorists or terrorist groups
May attack IT resources directly
Use the Internet for recruitment and coordination
Use the Internet to augment physical attacks
Disrupt communication among first responders
Use cyberattacks to increase terror in physical attacks
Turn to computer crime to fund their attacks
espionage.87 Cyber espionage from China has been a serious problem since 1999.88
The Chinese government has been involved in, or sponsored, attacks aimed at the State
Department, Commerce Department, Senators, Congressmen, and US military labs.89
Cyberwar attacks can be launched without engaging in physical hostilities and still do
tremendous damage. Countries can use cyberwar attacks to do massive damage to one
another’s financial infrastructures, to disrupt one another’s communication infrastructures,
and to damage the country’s IT infrastructure all as precursors to actual physical hostilities.
Cyberterror
Another nightmare scenario is cyberterror, in which the attacker is a terrorist or group of
terrorists.90 Of course, cyberterrorists can attack information technology resources directly.
They can damage a country’s financial, communication, and utilities infrastructure.91

90 Although organized terrorist groups are very serious threats, a related group of attackers is somewhat dan-
gerous. These are hacktivists, who attack based on political beliefs. During tense periods between the United
States and China, for instance, hacktivists on both sides have attacked the IT resources of the other country.

Data is big, data is valuable and data is trouble. In 2014, the Breach Level Index recorded that over one billion records had been breached, an increase of 78% over 2013. And 2015 is seeing similar levels – the first 2 quarters of the year each seeing a loss of almost 340 million records.

Enhanced Enterprise Intelligence with your personal AI Data Copilot.pdfGetInData
Recently we have observed the rise of open-source Large Language Models (LLMs) that are community-driven or developed by the AI market leaders, such as Meta (Llama3), Databricks (DBRX) and Snowflake (Arctic). On the other hand, there is a growth in interest in specialized, carefully fine-tuned yet relatively small models that can efficiently assist programmers in day-to-day tasks. Finally, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures have gained a lot of traction as the preferred approach for LLMs context and prompt augmentation for building conversational SQL data copilots, code copilots and chatbots.
In this presentation, we will show how we built upon these three concepts a robust Data Copilot that can help to democratize access to company data assets and boost performance of everyone working with data platforms.
Why do we need yet another (open-source ) Copilot?
How can we build one?

Natural Language Processing (NLP), RAG and its applications .pptxfkyes25
1. In the realm of Natural Language Processing (NLP), knowledge-intensive tasks such as question answering, fact verification, and open-domain dialogue generation require the integration of vast and up-to-date information. Traditional neural models, though powerful, struggle with encoding all necessary knowledge within their parameters, leading to limitations in generalization and scalability. The paper "Retrieval-Augmented Generation for Knowledge-Intensive NLP Tasks" introduces RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), a novel framework that synergizes retrieval mechanisms with generative models, enhancing performance by dynamically incorporating external knowledge during inference.

Non Access Computer Crime
Non-access computer crimes are crimes that do not involve an attempt to actually access the target. For example, a virus or logic bomb does not require the attacker to attempt to hack into the target network. And denial of service attacks are designed to render the target unreachable by legitimate users, not to provide the attacker access to the site.
