Review on 3rd-party Cyber Risk Assessment and Scoring ToolsNormShield
A recent survey conducted by Ponemon Institute reveals that 56% of companies have experienced a 3rd-party breach in 2017, which is an increase of 7% compared to previous year. Another survey conducted by Deloitte in 2016 was more depressive, reporting that 87% of organizations have experienced a disruptive incident with third-parties in the last 2-3 years. Another research in 2016, sourced by Soha Systems, reports that 63% of all breaches were related to third parties. The findings in these studies confirm that third-party cyber risk assessment is a must. The goal of this paper is to provide a review on third-party cyber risk assessment/scoring tools that automatically gather and analyze open source data and provide a risk score/security rating.
This document summarizes the key findings of Kaspersky Lab's 2014 IT Security Risks Survey. Some of the main points include:
1) Protection of confidential data against targeted attacks was the top priority for 38% of IT managers surveyed, compared to not being a priority in previous years.
2) 94% of companies encountered cybersecurity issues originating outside their networks, up from 91% in 2013. About 12% faced targeted attacks, up from 9% previously.
3) The average cost of a data security incident was estimated at $720,000, while a successful targeted attack could cost over $2.5 million. Losses often included internal data, client data, and financial information.
A Survey: Data Leakage Detection Techniques IJECEIAES
Data is an important property of various organizations and it is intellectual property of organization. Every organization includes sensitive data as customer information, financial data, data of patient, personal credit card data and other information based on the kinds of management, institute or industry. For the areas like this, leakage of information is the crucial problem that the organization has to face, that poses high cost if information leakage is done. All the more definitely, information leakage is characterize as the intentional exposure of individual or any sort of information to unapproved outsiders. When the important information is goes to unapproved hands or moves towards unauthorized destination. This will prompts the direct and indirect loss of particular industry in terms of cost and time. The information leakage is outcomes in vulnerability or its modification. So information can be protected by the outsider leakages. To solve this issue there must be an efficient and effective system to avoid and protect authorized information. From not so long many methods have been implemented to solve same type of problems that are analyzed here in this survey. This paper analyzes little latest techniques and proposed novel Sampling algorithm based data leakage detection techniques.
Webinar: Will the Real AI Please Stand Up?Interset
In this webinar, Interset CTO Stephan Jou and VP of Products Mario Daigle discussed what to look for when cybersecurity vendors claim to leverage AI for UEBA. View a recording of this webinar at https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_0Etv6kilRN-0QuqoNn26bg.
The 2010 IOUG Data Security Survey was conducted by Unisphere Research and sponsored by Oracle. It surveyed 430 members of the Independent Oracle Users Group on data security practices. The survey found that fewer than 30% encrypt personally identifiable information in databases, and close to 40% send unprotected or unsurely protected live data to external parties. Also, over 75% cannot prevent privileged users from accessing application data, and almost two-thirds cannot detect privileged user abuse. Overall, two-thirds expect or are unsure about a security incident in the next year. The survey assessed data privacy, access controls, activity monitoring, and operational security at respondents' organizations.
Long-term care financial professionals need to be aware of two major technology trends in the healthcare industry: business intelligence and data security.
To implement data-centric security, while simultaneously empowering your business to compete and win in today’s nano-second world, you need to understand your data flows and your business needs from your data. Begin by answering some important questions:
•
What does your organization need from your data in order to extract the maximum business value and gain a competitive advantage?
•
What opportunities might be leveraged by improving the security posture of the data?
•
What risks exist based upon your current security posture? What would the impact of a data breach be on the organization? Be specific!
•
Have you clearly defined which data (both structured and unstructured) residing across your extended enterprise is most important to your business? Where is it?
•
What people, processes and technology are currently employed to protect your business sensitive information?
•
Who in your organization requires access to data and for what specific purposes?
•
What time constraints exist upon the organization that might affect the technical infrastructure?
•
What must you do to comply with the myriad government and industry regulations relevant to your business?
Finally, ask yourself what a successful data-centric protection program should look like in your organization. What’s most appropriate for your organization?
The answers to these and other related questions would provide you with a clearer picture of your enterprise’s “data attack surface,” which in turn will provide you with a well-documented risk profile. By answering these questions and thinking holistically about where your data is, how it’s being used and by whom, you’ll be well positioned to design and implement a robust, business-enabling data-centric protection plan that is tailored to the unique requirements of your organization.
Online Poverty Alleviation System in Bangladesh ContextIRJET Journal
The document describes a proposed online poverty alleviation system for Bangladesh that would:
1) Collect data on people through surveys to analyze the root causes of poverty based on social indicators.
2) Group people based on criteria like monthly income and residence.
3) Recommend destitute people to associated institutions that could help them overcome poverty.
The system was designed with data flow diagrams and entity relationship diagrams to represent the data and information flows. It would allow surveyors to input data, analyze the inputs to identify poverty causes, and recommend solutions to institutions.
This summary analyzes TriEpic Lab Group's billing system. The company receives billing data from external clients that employees manually verify and input into the billing system. The system assigns billing codes and automatically sends claims to insurance companies for payment once all information is entered. Insurance companies process claims electronically and send payments or denials. A payment posting team handles approved claims while another team manually processes denials. The document recommends improvements to the billing system process.
- The document discusses whether organizations should manage security activities like monitoring, threat detection, and compliance in-house or leverage a managed security service provider.
- Aberdeen research shows that a majority of organizations are choosing managed security services over in-house implementations, with planned growth for managed services being much higher.
- The annual cost advantage of managed security services compared to in-house management can be as high as 50% according to Aberdeen's analysis.
Who is the next target proactive approaches to data securityUlf Mattsson
The landscape of threats to sensitive data is changing. New technologies bring with them new vulnerabilities, and organizations like Target are failing to react properly to the shifts around them. What's needed is an approach equal to the persistent, advanced attacks companies face every day. The sooner we start adopting the same proactive thinking hackers are using to get at our data, the better we will be able to protect it.
The document provides an overview of the Interset platform for advanced threat detection. It discusses how existing data protection methods have largely failed and introduces Interset's behavioral analytics approach. Interset collects metadata from systems, analyzes relationships and activities, and detects anomalies to alert organizations to threats. Using mathematical models, it establishes normal baselines and monitors for deviations that could indicate insider or outside attacks. The goal is to quickly detect threats like data exfiltration in order to stop data from being compromised.
Big data refers to extremely large data sets that traditional data processing systems cannot handle. Big data is characterized by high volume, velocity, and variety of data. Hadoop is an open-source software framework that allows distributed storage and processing of big data across clusters of computers. A key component of Hadoop is MapReduce, a programming model that enables parallel processing of large datasets. MapReduce allows programmers to break problems into independent pieces that can be processed simultaneously across distributed systems.
Safeguarding Data Privacy by Placing Multi-level Access Restrictionsrahulmonikasharma
People always tend to protect assets regardless of what they are. For example, a user may keep a memorable picture of his parents in a safe place. However, the degree of protection he provides is directly based on how much he values the assets. If the user highly value the picture of his great-grandparents, he might take an extra measure of precaution by copying it and placing it in a fireproof safe where it is guarded from most natural disasters and from theft, or he may just put it in a frame because he has many similar pictures or because he can reproduce it. Usage of Database management systems to store information in every aspect of an enterprise is rapidly growing. Every company need to protect all tangible assets like valuable information stored in a DBMS is often vital to the business interests of the organization and is regarded as a corporate asset of the company that must be protected. There is no doubt that a password is the key to opening a user account. The Stronger the password, the longer it takes a hacker to break in. User authentication depends on a password to ensure the user account’s identity. Since organizations increase their implementation of database systems as the key data management technology for regular operations and decision making, the security of data managed by these systems is an important task.
A REVIEW ON CLASSIFICATION OF DATA IMBALANCE USING BIGDATAIJMIT JOURNAL
Classification is one among the data mining function that assigns items in a collection to target categories
or collection of data to provide more accurate predictions and analysis. Classification using supervised
learning method aims to identify the category of the class to which a new data will fall under. With the
advancement of technology and increase in the generation of real-time data from various sources like
Internet, IoT and Social media it needs more processing and challenging. One such challenge in
processing is data imbalance. In the imbalanced dataset, majority classes dominate over minority classes
causing the machine learning classifiers to be more biased towards majority classes and also most
classification algorithm predicts all the test data with majority classes. In this paper, the author analysis
the data imbalance models using big data and classification algorithm
The document discusses the threat of insider attacks and data breaches. It notes that most organizations focus on external threats but insider threats actually result in many data breaches. Internal data breaches are more common than external breaches according to statistics. The document advocates for a risk assessment approach and role-based detection methods to better monitor insider behavior and detect potential insider threats. It describes tools and processes for identifying anomalous insider behavior, conducting data analytics, and escalating incidents.
IRJET- Analysis of Big Data Technology and its ChallengesIRJET Journal
This document discusses big data technology and its challenges. It begins by defining big data as large, complex data sets that are growing exponentially due to increased internet usage and digital data collection. It then outlines the key steps in big data analysis: acquisition, assembly, analysis, and action. Several big data technologies that support these steps are described, including Hadoop, MapReduce, Pig, and Hive. The document concludes by examining challenges of big data such as storage limitations, data lifecycle management, analysis difficulties, and ensuring data privacy and security when analyzing large datasets.
The document contains sample exam questions and answers related to chapters 9-12 of a business textbook. Some key topics covered include:
- Definitions of big data, data analytics, and the three Vs of big data.
- Limiting factors for businesses dealing with big data, and how data analytics can help companies through more directed marketing and identifying risks/opportunities.
- Changes to external auditors' interactions with clients due to data analytics and definitions relating to data security breaches.
- Tools in Excel useful for data analytics, including calculated fields, slicers, and Power Pivot.
- Concepts relating to data warehousing, data mining, business intelligence, and XB

Solution
The weekly assignment for the course is a comprehensive assignment. Each week, you will be completing part of this assignment based on the content covered in the week. You will add new content to the report each week to build a comprehensive security solution for an organization.
Scenario
A tire manufacturing company, who wishes to be called ABC, Inc. to protect its privacy, has recently fallen victim to a cybercrime. The customer information and some of its proprietary technology were compromised in the attack. This company has been in the business for pretty long and enjoys a big market share. If its identity is disclosed, the attack has the potential to cause it to lose customer confidence. Also, some of its competitors are constantly looking for opportunities to hack the company's important strategic and functional information.
The company's head, Dermot Reed, is very concerned about the situation because a recent study shows that some of its competitors have started using its techniques. The source of the attack remains unknown. It could be that an internal, disgruntled, or greedy employee has been involved in the attack or has been revealing important information to its competitors. Moreover, there have been several attempts of hacking in the past that have been unsuccessful, prior to the incident. Ed Young, the network administrator, has requested a budget for a system overhaul to rebuild the infrastructure of the organization with an emphasis on security.
The company does not have anything currently in terms of true security measures. Young is competent but has limited understanding of attack methodologies. The attacks were thwarted mainly due to automated antivirus programs installed on the servers. ABC, Inc. has a network with four servers that cater to around 450 employees. ABC, Inc. keeps track of its data using a MySQL database. However, some of the data is found to be incorrect in its database since somebody has modified it outside of normal business operation hours.
The database server is used for updating the inventory records. The database contains information about quantity of raw materials available, quantity of finished products, price of finished products, etc. Users from across the organization use the database to access different information. Therefore, availability of the server is critical. Young would like a recommendation from you on the fault-tolerance mechanism that can ensure uninterrupted business and security on the database to prevent unauthorized modifications.
Ken Burton, the sales and marketing head is worried about the security of the laptops that the sales and marketing personnel carry with them while traveling. Burton has previously reported that data on these laptops has been leaked or hacked when these laptops are outside the organization network. Burton wants a system by which these computers can be secured while they move out of the organizational network and still maintain a secure.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.
Vicinity Jobs’ data includes more than three million 2023 OJPs and thousands of skills. Most skills appear in less than 0.02% of job postings, so most postings rely on a small subset of commonly used terms, like teamwork.
Laura Adkins-Hackett, Economist, LMIC, and Sukriti Trehan, Data Scientist, LMIC, presented their research exploring trends in the skills listed in OJPs to develop a deeper understanding of in-demand skills. This research project uses pointwise mutual information and other methods to extract more information about common skills from the relationships between skills, occupations and regions.

OJPs are becoming a critical resource for policy-makers and researchers who study the labour market. LMIC continues to work with Vicinity Jobs’ data on OJPs, which can be explored in our Canadian Job Trends Dashboard. Valuable insights have been gained through our analysis of OJP data, including LMIC research lead
Suzanne Spiteri’s recent report on improving the quality and accessibility of job postings to reduce employment barriers for neurodivergent people.
Decoding job postings: Improving accessibility for neurodivergent job seekers
Improving the quality and accessibility of job postings is one way to reduce employment barriers for neurodivergent people.
OJP data from firms like Vicinity Jobs have emerged as a complement to traditional sources of labour demand data, such as the Job Vacancy and Wages Survey (JVWS). Ibrahim Abuallail, PhD Candidate, University of Ottawa, presented research relating to bias in OJPs and a proposed approach to effectively adjust OJP data to complement existing official data (such as from the JVWS) and improve the measurement of labour demand.

ACC 564 Week 10 Assignment 4 – Changing the Accounting Information System
Migrating to a new accounting information system is not an easy task. Many firms have
struggled with this process, even though our textbook makes the process seem quite
straightforward. Recently, IBM recapped some of the lessons learned in migrating to a new
accounting information system within the federal government. These lessons can be applied to
any accounting information system project. Others have developed their own recommendations
for best practices and lessons learned involving implementing accounting information systems.
15. However, in order to appreciate what IBM and others are proposing, we need to apply lessons
learned to a real-life situation involving the failure to implement an accounting system properly.
For this assignment, research the Internet or Strayer databases for information related to a real-
life accounting information system failure and best practices, as well as lessons learned from
implementing the accounting system. In addition to information that you may find during your
research, please use the following IBM article to complete the assignment:
(http://www.businessofgovernment.org/article/what-we-know-now-lessons-learned-
implementing-federal-financial-systems-projects).
Write a ten to twelve (10-12) page paper in which you:
Identify three to five (3-5) factors that contributed to the accounting information system failure
within the business that you have identified. Indicate the impact to the business. Provide support
for your rationale.
Assess senior management responsibility for the failure in question. Specify what the senior
management could have done differently to avoid the failure. Provide support for your rationale.
Evaluate whether the most significant failure occurred within the system design, implementation,
or operational phase of the process. Indicate what the company could have done to avoid the
failed outcome. Provide support for your rationale.
Evaluate how implementing best practices would have reduced the chances for failure. Provide
support for your rationale.
Based on your research, develop a list of between four (4) and six (6) best practices that
organizations should use today to reduce the chances for failure. Provide support for your
rationale.
Using the information provided by IBM and others, indicate which of the principles designed to
provide insight into effective and efficient strategies on how to best deploy financial
management systems, which were outlined within the related article, should serve as an example
of what not to do when establishing the foundation for a firm to follow. Your proposed
foundation should consist of at least two (2) principles, but no more than six (6). Provide support
for your rationale.
Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment
