Dealing with Data Breaches Amidst Changes In TechnologyCSCJournals
In the future, it is expected that the industry will be marked with multiple technologies. These technologies will play a crucial role in the improvement of the levels of efficiency that companies exhibit. On the other hand, one of the major weaknesses that will likely arise is a threat to the privacy, integrity, and security of data (Sloane, 2018). Through the use of various technologies such as the internet of things, companies will find it hard to protect their data against breaches (Griffy-Brown, Lazarikos & Chun, 2019). Data breaches will be based on the use of the latest technologies to exploit weaknesses found in the various systems. It is, therefore, recommended that companies must adopt a holistic approach in the development of protective, preventive, and reliable mechanisms of ensuring and guaranteeing information security and reduce the risks of data breaches (Ghosh, Mishra & Mishra, 2019). However, with the current trends, it is expected that more breaches will continue to happen, ranging from the use of phishing, hacking, malware, and also but not limited to ransomware.

For many Agile teams, delivering software is the end of a journey. We ship one feature, have a beer, and move on to the next highest feature on the product backlog. However, shipping software is simply the beginning. Several studies cite that users on average use less than 30% of the features in a software application, yet our goals and metrics seem aligned with shipping more features. Agile teams talk more about increasing throughput or reducing cycle time than building features that better engaging with their users, so in some ways, Agile has actually accelerated the pace of ‘feature-itis.’

This webinar takes a look at how opting for a cloud email and archiving solution can help you create a more safe, secure and durable environment for your email.
The cloud is more than a buzzword these days. Companies large and small are looking skyward for
critical business functions that were once seen as untouchable—and they’re doing it for the timehonored
reasons of reducing cost and complexity. The prevailing wisdom not long ago was that a critical
application like email had to be housed in a company data center where teams of expensive IT staff
members could babysit it and do little else. But that’s all changed in the past few years.

Cryptographic Methods:
Cryptography is the science of concealing information or encrypting information. Computers use complex cryptographic algorithms to enable data protection, data hiding, integrity checks, nonrepudiation services, policy enforcement, key management, and exchange, and many more (Conklin, 2018). Cryptography is classified into three types symmetric cryptography, asymmetric cryptography, and hash functions
Symmetric cryptography is also known as secret-key cryptography. It uses a single key to encrypt and decrypt data making it the simplest type of cryptography. A plain text with the key produces the same cipher similarly, the ciphertext with the key produces the plain text. "Symmetric encryption is useful for protecting data between parties with an established shared key and is also frequently used to store confidential data" (Burnett & Foster, 2004). This type of cryptography is suited for bulk encryption as it is fast and easy.
Asymmetric cryptography is also known as public-key cryptography. In this method, two keys are used to encrypt data. One for encoding and the other for decoding. One of the two keys stays private while the other is shared. The algorithms are based on integer factorization and discrete logarithmic problems. This encryption method is used for authentication and confidentiality.
The hash function is a special mathematical function. It performs a one-way function, which means that once the algorithm is processed, there is no feasible way to use the ciphertext to retrieve the plaintext that was used to generate it (Conklin, 2018). Hashes provide confidentiality but not integrity because even though we cannot determine the original text, we can ascertain the modified text. These are utilized in programs, text messages, and operating systems files.
Public Key Infrastructure (PKI):
It is an infrastructure that enables users to communicate securely. PKI uses the asymmetric method; one private key and one public key. The public key can only decrypt the file encrypted by the private key, which affirms the receiver and the sender's information is secure during a transaction. The challenges PKI face is the storage and protection of the keys. The encryption keys can be stolen or unrecoverable based on the measures taken to store them. Additionally, failure to issue and renew certificates can cause large-scale connectivity issues.
Physical Security:
Physical security needs to be maintained to prevent attackers from gaining access to steal data. Physical security is essential in an organization to prevent unauthorized individuals from causing harm to the business. If systems and devices are physically accessed, all files, data, information, and networks can be compromised. Granting limited access to employees to computer rooms or server rooms can prevent theft and help with intentional and unintentional damages. Perimeter security is also important, especially for sites ...

Security is not an area newly arisen in the wake of the 9/11 tragedy. There have always been reasons to be concerned:
conflicting priorities, business environmental factors, information sensitivity, lack of controls on the Internet, ethical lapses,
criminal activity, carelessness, and higher levels of connectivity and vulnerability. It’s a tradeoff between limiting danger
versus affecting productivity: 100 percent security equals 0 percent productivity, but 0 percent security doesn’t equal 100
percent productivity.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

A TECHTARGET WHITE PAPER
Brought to you compliments of As organizations try to take advantage of the business
benefits and cost savings afforded by cloud offerings,
email software as a service (SaaS) stands as one of
the easiest first paths toward cloud adoption. Generally
simple to set up and maintain, cloud email often is the
first win for organizations that may not yet have the
wherewithal for more complex cloud deployments.
3. Unsurprisingly, statistics show that 58% of businesses today have already migrated to cloud email.1
And the enterprise is also quickly catching up. Gartner estimates that between 2014 and 2017, the
percent of email seats based on a cloud or SaaS model will triple.2
Many reputable cloud email providers do offer some fundamental security controls bundled into
their services. Nevertheless, organizations struggle to find the right balance of ease of use for
their employees and cloud cost savings. After all, they must still maintain the same level of
security their organization came to expect when email was hosted on internal infrastructure in
their on-premises environments.
Trouble Spots in Cloud Email Security
Whether delivered on-premises or through the cloud, or a hybrid model email these days is ground
zero in the struggle to manage corporate risk. Its ubiquity as a business communication tool and
the stability of its presence in the business environment over the last two decades makes it a prime
candidate for abuse. Cybercriminals and fraudsters of all types set their sights on email as the first
line of attack when working criminal campaigns online. And internally, uneducated or fraudulent
users further add risk to the equation by using email to share or even steal some of the most sensitive
information a business cares for—at least when proper protections aren’t in place.
The statistics bear out the fact that email is usually the Achilles’ heel of cybersecurity today:
Phishing: According to Symantec’s research, one in 965 emails sent today is a phishing email
attempting to steal user credentials. These emails use various forms of bait, such as promises to view
juicy news videos after logging into a social account or even posing as fake security updates that
require logging into corporate accounts before loading.
Malware and malicious URLs: Even more troubling is the fact that one in 244 emails sent today
contain some form of malware. Approximately 12% of those are delivered as malicious links, with
attackers frequently using URL shortening services to mask their fraudulence. The link then redirects,
to bounce from a legitimate site to a bad URL.
Targeted and advanced attacks: Symantec security researchers report that attackers are continually
upping their game to single out specific high-value victims and try to infect them using sneakier, more

malware. For example, attackers frequently use stolen email accounts from one corporate victim to
spear phish their next corporate victim. The number of active spear phishing campaigns online has
nearly doubled since 2012.
Insider threats: Email can be a veritable sieve for sensitive corporate information. One recent survey
showed that 84% of employees today are using personal email to send classified or confidential
information as attachments.
With all of these email attack trends coming to a head, the increased adoption of cloud email
can further complicate data protection if security is not appropriately designed into the cloud
email architecture.
Many cloud email services are simple by design. That’s what makes these systems so attractive
to organizations, as this simplicity is what makes cloud email so easy to deploy and maintain.
But cloud email’s biggest selling point can also be one of its biggest security downfalls.
Simplistic design means it is difficult to offer controls over when and how emailed data is
encrypted. Similarly, it is difficult to keep tabs on data as it flows in and out of corporate bounds.
In many instances, there simply aren’t enough controls available to administrators to offer a way to
consistently manage what kind of data goes to whom via cloud email accounts.
Additionally, cloud email can seriously limit security visibility. Many organizations also find that, from
a visibility perspective, once email goes to the cloud it is much more difficult to keep tabs on security
incidents that start with email. This means that all of those phishing attempts, targeted attacks,
malicious links and advanced malware fly under the radar much more easily through cloud email
accounts than on-premises accounts. Without the context offered up by advanced email monitoring,
it is much more difficult to act early within the attack kill chain and catch attacks before they do
real damage.
What to Look for in Cloud Email Security
This is why it is so important for organizations large and small to evaluate hosted email services not
just from a convenience perspective, but also from a security point of view. Cloud email has evolved a
great deal over the past several years and it is possible to find services that still extend the benefits of
easy deployment and use without compromising on data protection and security compliance.

5. As an organization considers potential hosted email providers, it should be prepared to evaluate based
on several critical criteria. First and foremost, an organization should seek a platform that can offer
protection against advanced malware attacks and phishing. Even more than just protecting within
email, an organization should seek a provider that can also connect email intelligence into threat
analytics for better security visibility across the organization. For good measure, it might also be
important to evaluate how well the platform handles gray mail like newsletters, in addition to whether
it can effectively stop spam with a low false-positive rate.
Additionally, it will be important to find out how well the email provider can help prevent sensitive
information from being accidentally or intentionally shared through email. Data loss prevention can
provide a key barrier to costly insider threat incidents through the email channel.
Another crucial point to consider is how well the platform enables encryption policy enforcement. With
regulatory demands increasingly requiring encryption for important classes of sensitive information,
it is critical for organizations to be able to automatically ensure that users are applying encryption to
email in all the right situations.
There are other considerations regarding compliance: is the email provider certified by third-party
organizations such as ISO to prove its security processes? This question bears answering.
Finally, organizations need to come at the evaluation with the understanding that the migration to the
cloud is a gradual process. The cloud email provider should be able to support a gradual transition
from on-premises systems to cloud systems.
