#ALSummit: Realities of Security in the CloudAlert Logic
The document discusses security in the cloud and outlines a shared responsibility model between cloud providers and customers. It notes that cloud workloads can be as secure or more secure than on-premises workloads when best practices are followed. Building security maturity over time is important, ranging from basic security to threat management and security operations capabilities. While security principles remain the same, the approach must change in cloud environments. Specifically, understanding shared responsibilities, applying the same standards to cloud workloads, and leveraging cloud-native security tools are emphasized.
Silver Lining: An Everyman's Journey to Cloud Security - Sven Skoog, MonotypeAlert Logic
Sven Skoog discusses security challenges facing Monotype, a company with 500-700 employees across 14 offices in 10 countries. As Monotype relies increasingly on cloud computing but also maintains on-premise infrastructure, Skoog examines whether defenses need to differ between local and cloud environments. He then outlines Monotype's existing security tools from Alert Logic that provide sensors and instrumentation to detect threats, forensic logging and consolidation of events, web application inspection, and automated monitoring through a security operations center. Skoog believes the cloud can enable new "meta-insights" through tracking of cloud assets, attack trends over time, and deviations from typical usage profiles.
Welcome to everything the cloud has to offer. Now, you need to keep your apps and workloads secure, without compromising the speed and flexibility of the cloud. This is the new economics of cloud security.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

HCL Notes and Domino License Cost Reduction in the World of DLAUpanagenda
Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away
[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...Jason Yip
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

13. The Cloud Can be Secure
“Public cloud workloads can be at least as
secure as those in your own data center,
likely better.”
Neil McDonald – Garter Security and Risk Management Summit

14. Cloud Security – New Approach
The Principles of security do not change
but your Approach to security needs to
change:
• Security best practices are no different in the cloud
• You need to apply the same security standards to
cloud workloads as applied to on-premises
• Understand the Shared Responsibility of Cloud

4 years ago in meetings we were being told the cloud was insecure, very boring
Lets change this quote around “If you do it right, the public cloud can be more secure than your own datacentre”
That is the key, that is what today is about – how do you do it right
Issue is you can automate failure at scale
Questions to the Audience – Hands Up
- Basic Security – firewall etc
- AWS environment - do you have IDS, Log, WAF etc
- In-house
- 24 x 7
Reasons why you are not doing it – tools on-prem to cloud
And if you thought building a SOC on-premise sounds difficult, if you throw Cloud adoption by the business in to the mix you’ve got an ever more challenging situation.
The vast majority of the technology you’ve invested in will not integrate with Cloud platforms or at best, will impact the dynamic, agile, efficient nature of the Cloud - often what business are looking to benefit from in the first place.
Even if you manage to find tech that works (for now!!!), the likelihood is that it will be a version of a data center centric product that’s been adapted to Cloud, meaning the content and intelligence that drives the tool will mostly be irrelevant
And finally you now need people with a whole set of Cloud expertise – given the hype surrounding Cloud these days, they will be expensive and in hot demand
Article on Wired – job security – IT security
Refer back to Forrester
- challenges :
1 - managing security content
2 – mutli-vector attacks
3 - Costs
4 – threat intel skills
6 – staffing the SOC
Cloud Defender is doing two things: First it will scan you AWS services looking for any configuration issues. At the same time it scans your instances and applications looking for known vulnerabilities. That information gets passed back to your team in the form of prioritized remediation actions so you take focus on the issues that will have the biggest positive impact with regards to your risk.
While that is happening Cloud Defender is also collecting logs from your servers, apps, and AWS services, as well as network, web app events. This information is fed into an analytics platform. This platform analyzes the data, eliminating irrelevant events, and then, by applying threat intelligence and context generates actionable security events. These events are then vetted by a team of security experts, who have access to both the raw data that generated the event as well as a library of threat research that enables them to provide you with the context you need to understand the threat.
You are then contacted about the incident and provided remediation recommendations. This helps you focus on eliminating the issues without having to become an expert in any one specific threat vector.
Cloud Defender is always on, always working for you.
Since Cloud Defender was built with AWS in mind you get AWS specific content included.
Our massive scale is unmatched in the industry and we have proven that we can operated at scale. If you look at our scale, we currently are:
Protecting over 2 millions of servers, applications, and networks worldwide
Our analytics and correlation engine manages over 5PB of log data and processes 450 Million events and identifies 60K incidents that our Security Experts review and triage to escalate to the right issues to our customers
An average of 3 incident escalations per customer per month – we reduce the noise and overhead a customer would have to support themselves by about 80% and most importantly, deliver them with actionable intelligence (attack details and remediation steps).
This means that we can protect you at a lower cost than doing it in-house and we have the proven expertise to provide you with deep security insight into your environment, resulting in a safer overall IT environment.
