The top challenges to expect in network security in 2019 survey report Bricata, Inc.
The Bricata team conducted a survey to ask cybersecurity professionals about the challenges and opportunities they face in network security.
64% of respondents say network security is harder this year as compared to last and for a range of reasons. This includes the sophistication of threats, but also the proliferation of IT infrastructure and the complexity of environments given that changes stemming from cloud, IoT and BYOD, among others.
While insider threats (44%) and IT infrastructure (42%) topped the list of network security challenges no single topic drew a simple majority. Lack of leadership support, security technology interoperability, shadow IT, BYOD and the deluge of security alerts were among the top 10.
Most organizations used between 1-10 tools for the purpose of network security. About one-third of respondents said these tools were not integrated, while another 28% said these tools were just somewhat integrated. No respondents indicated tools in their environment were completely integrated.
About a quarter (26%) of respondents say their organization receives 1,000 or more security alerts per day. More importantly, the vast majority (84%) say these require 5 or more minutes each to triage. “A decent number of false-positives waste quite a bit of time,” wrote one respondent. “On the other hand, some alerts are- -critical, but we are missing vital information, which we then spend ages trying to locate.” Some admit they just can’t review all alerts.
While just about one-third (32%) say they are doing threat hunting today – a majority (61%) of respondents believe that threat hunting will be either more important or much more important in the next 12 months.
Security analytics, security integration and behavioral analysis were the top three areas of security respondents said organizations should focus on over the next year. Interestingly, collaboration out ranked machine learning and AI as a recommended area of focus.
Some 34% of respondents said the relationship between security and DevOps is strong, while 27% said it isn’t. By contrast, 51% of respondents said the relationship between security and the business is strong, while 22% said it isn’t.

Energy Industry Organizational Strategies to Increase Cyber ResiliencyEnergySec
Presented by: Julie Soutuyo, Tennessee Valley Authority
Abstract: Over the past 40 years, the energy industry has evolved to a position of dependence upon information technology to accomplish its mission. Cyber attacks have become a “way of life”; as the Nation, industry, organizations, and individuals strive to operate safely and securely in cyberspace. Most rely on a compliance-based “whack-a-mole”; approach to cyber defense which presents multiple barriers to hackers, based on the last attack, with efforts to “hit” any that get inside the organization’s defenses. While still valid, this compliance-based approach has significant challenges: stopping intruders, mitigating the problems they create, and positioning an organization to achieve its mission under a cyber attack. Cyber experts across the Nation are increasingly turning to resiliency as a means for fighting through these attacks with the objective of meeting operational and mission requirements in spite of the attacks. This shift is driving organizations to rethink their organizational structures to achieve unity of effort and streamlined decision-making in the face of a fast paced set of operational demands. This presentation will highlight the strategies to promote a cyber resilient organization.
Gary Leatherman - A Holistic Approach for Reimagining Cyber DefenseEnergySec
When we talk about cyber security, we recognize that it is part of a holistic approach to security and critical infrastructure protection. Tools and technology are not enough to ensure that mission critical systems provide capabilities needed for the military, continuity of government and commercial enterprises to continue operations in the face of emerging threats. Recognizing the unique nature of our location on the Hawaiian Islands in the middle of the Pacific, we also understand the importance of collaboration and alignment of critical infrastructure protection among the military, state government, commercial and public stakeholders. A comprehensive approach needs to include innovative capabilities, a thorough analysis of operational dependencies, and the organizational collaboration required to protect critical capabilities. In this session, we will discuss our innovate approach to developing a holistic cyber security approach for critical infrastructure and share a case study to help you think differently about your own approaches for security.

Building Human Intelligence – Pun IntendedEnergySec
Presented by: Rohyt Belani, Phishme
Abstract: In the physical world, the human brain has evolved to avoid danger. The threat of physical pain triggers fear – and we have learned to avoid behavior that causes pain. In the electronic world of email, however, this concept doesn’t translate. Clicking on a malicious link or opening an attachment laced with malware doesn’t cause pain, and often a user won’t even notice anything is wrong after doing it. How then, can we teach fear perception in the electronic world? Is it even possible? In this presentation I’ll discuss how immersive training can key on psychological triggers to teach people to become skeptical email users who not only avoid undesired security behavior but can aid intrusion detection by reporting suspicious emails, helping to mitigate one of the most serious problems in security: slow incident detection times. According to reports from Mandiant and Verizon, average detection time for an incident is in the hundreds of days. A properly trained workforce is not only resilient to phishing attacks, but can improve detection times as well.

Cyber crime is pervasive and here to stay. Whether you work in the Public Sector, Private Sector, are the CEO for a Fortune 500 Company or trying to sustain a SMB everyone is under attack. This February, President Obama, issued an executive order aimed at protecting critical business and government infrastructure due to the scale and sophistication of IT security threats that have grown at an explosive rate. Organizations and Government agencies have to contend with industrialized attacks, which, in some cases, rival the size and sophistication of the largest legitimate computing efforts. In addition, they also have to guard against a more focused adversary with the resources and capabilities to target highly sensitive information, often through long-term attack campaigns. Many security executives are struggling to answer questions about the most effective approach.

Data Centers - Striving Within A Narrow Range - Research Report - MCG - May 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) expects to see demand and the changing evolution of supply, facilitated through institutional investment rotation out of offices and into work from home (“WFH”), while the ever-expanding need for data storage as global internet usage expands, with experts predicting 5.3 billion users by 2023. These market factors will be underpinned by technological changes, such as progressing cloud services and edge sites, allowing the industry to see strong expected annual growth of 13% over the next 4 years.
Whilst competitive headwinds remain, represented through the recent second bankruptcy filing of Sungard, which blames “COVID-19 and other macroeconomic trends including delayed customer spending decisions, insourcing and reductions in IT spending, energy inflation and reduction in demand for certain services”, the industry has seen key adjustments, where MCG believes that engineering cost management and technological innovation will be paramount to success.
MCG reports that the more favorable market conditions expected over the next few years, helped by the winding down of pandemic restrictions and a hybrid working environment will be driving market momentum forward. The continuous injection of capital by alternative investment firms, as well as the growing infrastructural investment from cloud service providers and social media companies, whose revenues are expected to grow over 3.6x larger by value in 2026, will likely help propel center provision and innovation. These factors paint a promising picture for the industry players that offset rising input costs and adapt to new technologies.
According to M Capital Group: “Specifically, the long-term cost-saving opportunities available from the rise of remote managing will likely aid value growth for the industry. Through margin optimization and further availability of capital for reinvestment, strong players will maintain their competitive foothold, while weaker players exit the market to balance supply and demand.”
As Europe's leading economic powerhouse and the fourth-largest hashtag#economy globally, Germany stands at the forefront of innovation and industrial might. Renowned for its precision engineering and high-tech sectors, Germany's economic structure is heavily supported by a robust service industry, accounting for approximately 68% of its GDP. This economic clout and strategic geopolitical stance position Germany as a focal point in the global cyber threat landscape.

Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.
