Security in a Cloud World.
One of the biggest issues with moving to the cloud is the concern for security. How do we protect our information when it leaves the control of our servers and networks? The good news is that Microsoft has been working hard to provide us with tools that allow us to secure our information no matter where it travels, even outside of our network. Find out Microsoft’s approach to security and what tools we have to ensure our information is safe and secure in a cloud first, mobile first world.
Information Security has traditionally been about controlling the access to data. We build massive and complex network security to ensure that our data is protected.
The problem is that as we become more Cloud based and mobile that Fortress we built around our network has become less effective. 80%+ of hacks are coming from inside of that fortress via phishing style attacks. We need a new approach and new tools to securing our data. This presentation looks at the old way and why it failed, as well as the tools that Microsoft Office 365 and EM-S provide to secure out data in the new world, no matter where it resides.
There are different types of attacks that expose enterprise data. An application can be attacked at various layers, on different hardware, and with very different goals in mind, creating a very complex problem for companies who want to protect their intellectual property.
In this presentation, we will discuss about the security requirement in an e-business, related challenges, risk assessment and threats. We will also talk about the concept of encryption and decryption.

Ethical Hacking A high-level information security study on protecting a comp...Quinnipiac University
As organizations in recent years continue to increase their investment into the advancements of technology to upsurge productivity and efficiently, more and more companies begin to realize that protecting of this technology is just as significant (Information Security), if not; even more important in order to protect their reputation and integrity as a company.
This paper provides a comprehensive high-level view of ethical hacking, such as what it is, what it entails, and why companies hack into their own technology. Additionally, counter measures including penetration testing and real-world examples will be examined to give the reader a better understanding of ethical hacking and why it’s such an essential element of Information Security in the Information Systems/Technology field.
Vulnerabilities
The larger and more complex information systems are, the greater the possibility of error in logic and loopholes in algorithm.
These are weak points that could enable hackers to breach a system and compromise the integrity of information stored. Programmers themselves who are not yet adept in writing software code can unknowingly misuse the code and lead to a vulnerability.
A classic example of vulnerabilities that can be exploited is a weak password or its repeated use on various services or software. There are also websites containing malware that installs automatically once visited. Even legitimate software could be a venue for an exploit due to unknown errors (bugs) generated by the program. The end-user or the human element in information systems is arguably the weakest point that hackers easily utilize.
0-day exploits
0-hour or 0-day attack is the exploitation by outside parties of a security hole in a computer program which is unknown from its developers. The term comes from the premise that the attack unfolds on the “day 0, meaning no awareness as of yet from the developers so there is no opportunity and time to issue a fix for the threat. Zero-day exploits are usually shared among hackers even before the developer knew.
Programmers could use the vulnerabilities via several avenues: on web browsers and email. Web browsers allow for a wider target. Meanwhile, using email, hackers can send a message that includes an executable file on the attachments, set to run once downloaded.
Such 0-day threats are in the time frame where a security hole is exploited up to the time that the program developers issued a patch for it.

What are cyber attacks?
In simple terms, cyber attacks are attempts of disabling or stealing information from other computers, by gaining access to admin privileges to them.
Why should businesses be worried?
An average ransomware attack costs a company $5 million. Attackers target all types of businesses, small and large, healthcare, banking & finance, manufacturing, education, even government. The internet has made life a lot easier for business owners, at the same time it has made them easier to get hacked.
The CEH v11 program provides an in-depth understanding of ethical hacking phases, various attack vectors, and preventative countermeasures. It will teach you how hackers think and act maliciously so that you will be better positioned to set up your security infrastructure and defend against future attacks.

Cybersecurity is important because it protects all categories of data from theft and damage. This includes sensitive data, personally identifiable information (PII), protected health information (PHI), personal information, intellectual property, data, and governmental and industry information systems.
in the modern day, there are dozens or possibly even hundreds of different interconnected assets, networks, and systems that we rely on every day for the normal functioning of society. Without these various infrastructure components, we wouldn’t be able to enjoy the benefits of living in the 21st century – small-scale disruptions to these components would result in the temporary loss of crucial capabilities.
But, if escalated to a larger scale, society would be plunged into a catastrophic black sky event, resulting in cascading failures and a serious threat to human continuity. Examples include conflicts between nations where an aggressor seeks to disable their opponent’s ability to communicate or mobilize. And what better way for a domestic or international terrorist group to sow confusion and fear than to prevent our critical infrastructure from functioning and, in turn, our successful ability to respond and recover?
In other words, it is fundamental to the safety and prosperity of a nation to provide reliable critical infrastructure security.

6. General Comments- Our network poses a lot of security risks. Going forward, we need to implement certain security measures from further incidents from taking place.
Background
The Sifers-Grayson company has hired an outside organization to penetrate our network and report on vulnerabilities found within the network. Upon penetration testing and weeks of trying to exploit our system, the red team (testing team) has been successful. Holding a government contract, the Department of Defense (DoD) requires additional security requirements for the R&D and SCADA lab operations. Both of which hold classified and secret information and happen to be where the red team was able to exploit.
The company is now required to use the NIST publications for protection controlled unclassified information in Nonfederal information systems and organizations. Failure to comply can result in fines and even contract termination. The (DFARS) Defense Federal Acquisition Regulations also outlines the safeguarding of Cyber Security Incident Reporting. Fortunately, identifying these risks before hacke ...

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

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).

Focused on access to data as opposed to securing the data itself
Deny malicious users from accessing data except from inside of our secure network
The cloud is seen as insecure primarily because we (IT) no longer can restrict access to the information
Or can we?
However, even the Fortress Network didn’t work completely
What about email? Didn’t we lose control of that document once we hit send?
Build high walls around our data
Firewalls
Network segments
VPNs
NTFS permissions
Build deep defense in depth
DMZs
Detonation Chambers
Pre-scan incoming requests (honey traps, URL scans)
Malware protection
Malicious link detection
Spam and virus software on desktops and servers
Interior security was much less strenuous
Virus scans
Malware
But assumption was if you had access you could do anything
