Video at http://mrkn.co/andsec
With Android activations reaching a million devices per day, it is no surprise that security threats against our favorite mobile platform have been on the rise.
In this session, you will learn all about Android's security model, including application isolation (sandboxing) and provenance (signing), its permission system and enforcement, data protection features and encryption, as well as enterprise device administration.
Together, we will dig into Android's own internals to see how its security model is applied through the entire Android stack - from the Linux kernel, to the native layers, to the Application Framework services, and to the applications themselves.
Finally, you’ll learn about some of the weaknesses in the Android's model (including rooting, tap-jacking, malware, social-engineering) as well as what can be done to mitigate those threats, such as SE-Linux, memory protection, anti-malware, firewall, and developer best practices.
By the end of this session you will have a better understanding of what it takes to make Android a more trusted component of our personal and professional lives.

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.
Recent ransomware cyberattack on a major oil pipeline caused gas prices to surge and gas stations in multiple states to experience shortages due to a several-day outage resulting from the attack.
Patents are a good information resource for obtaining the state of the art of AI technology innovations for defending against the ransomware attacks. Patent information can provide many valuable insights that can be exploited for developing and implementing new technologies. Patents can also be exploited to identify new product/service development opportunities.

Using SCCM 2012 r2 to Patch Linux, UNIX and MacsLumension
Today, everything has to be patched. From desktop and laptop to server and every operating system in between. With compliance, what we have to pay attention to is what’s actually out there on our network – not just what you wish were there.
Servers (Windows, UNIX and Linux)Even Windows-centric environments have at least a few UNIX or Linux servers that need to be secure and patched. Linux and UNIX servers often fulfill critical functions with few and short maintenance windows. These can be a real pain point for admins who specialize in Windows or are managed by an entirely different admin.
Desktops (Windows and Macs)Maybe you are responsible for desktops instead of servers. Again it’s not just a Windows story any more. More and more people are opting for Macs instead of Windows. Watch the vulnerability lists and you’ll see that Macs need patching too.
The kicker though is the 80/20 rule. If at least 80% of the computers on your network are Windows and the remaining 20% are everything else – it’s a safe bet, given the maturity and ease of WSUS, that 20% of your patching effort goes to Windows but 80% of your effort is consumed with patching all the different flavors of UNIX, Linux and your Mac computers. We need one system to manage all our patches and one pane of glass to prove compliance from data center to desktop.
Believe it or not System Center 2012 R2 provides the infrastructure to do just that – it just needs a little help. Last time we showed you how you can patch 3rd party apps on Windows through System Center Update Manager. This time we’ll show you how you can patch non-Windows systems using the new System Center clients for UNIX, Linux and Mac.

Greatest It Security Risks of 2014: 5th Annual State of Endpoint RiskLumension
Organizations around the world are losing intellectual property and customer data to cyber criminals at mind-boggling rates. How is this happening?
For 5 consecutive years, the annual State of the Endpoint Report, conducted by Ponemon Institute, has surveyed IT practitioners involved in securing endpoints. This year’s report reveals endpoint security risk is more difficult to minimize than ever before. What are IT pros most concerned about heading into 2014? From the proliferation of mobile devices, third party applications, and targeted attacks/APTs, endpoint security risk for 2014 is becoming more of a challenge to manage.
Larry Ponemon of the Ponemon Institute reveals statistics on growing insecurity, IT’s perceived areas of greatest risk for 2014 as well as tactical suggestions for how to improve your endpoint security. Specifically, you will learn:
•IT perspective on the changing threat landscape and today’s Top 5 risks;
•Disconnect between perceived risk and corresponding strategies to combat those threats;
•Tips and tricks on how to best communicate today’s threats and subsequent needed responses up the management chain
Adobe Hacked Again: What Does It Mean for You? Lumension
Last time it was Adobe’s code signing servers. This time it’s 2.9 million (let’s just call it 3) customers’ data and lots and lots of source code – including that of Acrobat. Adobe products already require constant patching but offer no enterprise level solution for patching. In this presentation by Ultimate Windows Security, we’ll present why this will likely lead to more and we’ll look at what we know about this latest Adobe breach.
But more importantly I’ll show what you can do in advance to protect yourself against zero-day exploits in Adobe products and programs. After all this won’t be the last time a software vendor is hacked. In this day and age we have to protect ourselves from the failures of our software providers.
I’ll present 3 ways you can go on the offensive to protect yourself from the constant vulnerabilities discovered in Adobe Reader, Acrobat, Flash and Oracle Java. Here’s what we’ll discuss:
*Alternatives to Adobe and Java
*Different ways to containing vulnerable apps in a sandbox
* Using advanced memory protection technologies to detect and stop buffer overflows and other memory based attacks
Patching and AV only helps you close the window on hacker opportunity. To prevent the window from opening in the first place you have to prevent untrusted code from ever running in the first place. That requires application whitelisting and memory protection against code injection – a growing menace that bypasses controls based on file system and EXE scanning.
That’s why Lumension is sponsoring this event. I think you’ll be interested seeing 2 of their end-point security technologies that will help protect you from the new exploits on their way as a result of this hack as well as the constant stream of exploits discovered every day.
This is going to be a really cool presentation with practical tips that you can apply. Learn how to protect your systems from other software vendor vulnerabilities.
Data Protection Rules are Changing: What Can You Do to Prepare?Lumension
The European Union’s proposed new data protection regulation aims to update Europe’s data protection laws and to provide a more consistent data protection framework across the Continent.
But the new regulation, which replaces the EU’s existing data protection directive and member states’ data protection laws, will put some new demands on organisations holding personal data. Breach disclosure and “the right to be forgotten” will force businesses to update their data protection and retention policies.
This presentation will:
- Review the current EU laws, and contrast them with laws in other parts of the world;
- Examine the arguments for strengthening data protection in Europe, and the likely outcomes;
- Look at what security teams should already be doing to put themselves ahead of legislative changes;
- Outline strategies and technologies organisations need to meet current and future data protection requirements
- Help infosecurity teams to explain the changes – and their consequences – to their boards
Java Insecurity: How to Deal with the Constant VulnerabilitiesLumension
Just over a decade ago, the outcry over Microsoft’s security problems reached such a deafening level that it finally got the attention of Bill Gates, who wrote the famous Trustworthy Computing memo. Today, many would say that Microsoft leads the industry in security and vulnerability handling.
Now, it’s Java that’s causing the uproar. But has Oracle learned anything from Microsoft in handling these seemingly ceaseless problems? I’ll start by reviewing the wide-ranging Java security changes Oracle is promising to make. They sound so much like the improvements Microsoft made back with Trustworthy Computing that I’m amazed it hasn’t been done before! We’ll move on to discuss what you can do now to address Java security in your environment.
One of the banes of security with Java is the presence of multiple versions of Java, often on the same computer. Sometimes you really need multiple versions of Java to support applications with version dependencies (crazy, I know). But other times, multiple copies of Java are there “just because.” In this webinar, we’ll talk about the current Java mess and how you can get out of it, including:
Assessment. We’ll discuss ways and tools for cataloging what versions of Java are actually out there on your endpoints.
Identification. We’ll look at methods for identifying which versions are actually required by your users; for instance, I’ll show you how you might use Process Tracking and File Access events in the Windows Security Log to see which Java files are being accessed, by whom, and by which programs.
Disabling. Can you just disable Java? Maybe not for everyone, but what if you could disable it for certain roles within your company that make up 25% – or even 75% – of your workforce? That would be worth it. We’ll explore how you might go about such a measure.
Hardening. We’ll dive into the technical details of hardening Java and reducing your Java attack surface, where possible.
Filtering. Another way to reduce your Java risk is by filtering Java content at your gateway. Again not full coverage control – but what is?
Patching. Then, we’ll delve into the Java patching nightmare. Depending on self-updaters on each endpoint, is could be a recipe for disaster, and I’ll explain why. Basically the only way out of the Java mess is a 3rd party solution that can perform centralized patch management and remediation and that’s where our sponsor, Lumension, will come in.
BYOD & Mobile Security: How to Respond to the Security RisksLumension
Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) is a popular topic in 2013. Trying to understand the security risks and prepare strategies to either adopt, or decide against BYOD for security and data control reasons is the challenge.

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).

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.

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.

Hackers are becoming more skilled, therefore PoS systems that used to be seen as a challenge are not as daunting as before. Because many PoS devices come pre-loaded with an operating system, the inner workings and weaknesses of that system are known to hackers. All they need to do is find an unsecured IP address or hack into a secure Wi-Fi connection if proper protections have not been put in place. A well-known weakness of PoS devices is their Internet printing protocol, which many businesses use for remote printing. Protecting your business against PoS Hacks:There are some simple and straightforward steps you can take to make your system less accessible to hackers, for example:Ensure all Wi-Fi connections on your network are secureAvoid using a Wi-Fi network name that is associated with your businessImplement a lockout system for failed login attemptsAlways change the default password for softwareFollow best practices on secure password creationUpdate your systems as often as possible – manufacturers are usually quick to respond to known vulnerabilities by releasing patches and software updatesHowever, no matter how many precautions you take, there is still likely to be one or more vulnerabilities that you are unaware of. Invest in the future of your business by hiring a reputable IT company to assess your system and identify your existing security risks.
