MasterSnacks Cryptocurrency: Operational and Internal Considerations for Comp...Citrin Cooperman
Any organization holding or transacting in Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies must make efforts to secure those digital assets by performing a full assessment of the risks associated with them. In this session, we covered valuable information on operating in the brave new world of Bitcoin and other digital assets. Key takeaways included:
Cryptocurrency basics
An overview of internal controls and environments
Wallets and separation of duties
Data breaches and card-based transaction frauds are rampant in the e-commerce
industry, and it is of critical importance that businesses must improve their card
data security and compliance protocols. As more organizations adapt to online
payment methodology, organizations need to ensure that customers can implicitly
trust their payment network and technology infrastructure.
The denitive standard for compliance for the payment card industry, the Payment
Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), is set by the Payment Card Industry
Security Standards Council (PCI SSC). It lays down the standard for all organizations
that handle cardholder information for the major debit, credit, prepaid, e-purse,
ATM, and POS cards. The implementation of the PCI standard has been mandated
by the central banks of many countries, and is applicable to all relevant
organizations like payment gateways, banks, third party processors, IT companies
and BPOs.
Business Process Management in Sports Organizations: A case study in the Euro...Pedro Sobreiro
Business Process Management (BPM) it’s an approach with the objective to increase the efficiency of organizations, using process management, in a continuous and iterative modelling, organization and optimization. BPM supports business process, using methods, technics and software to design, control and analyse organizational processes involving humans, organizations, applications, documents and other sources of information (Aalst et al., 2003).
In this study we use a Business Process Management System (BPMS) for modelling the processes of European Committee of Rink-Hockey (CERH), for the registration of teams and athletes in events organized under the responsibility of this committee. The modelling is accomplished using the Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN). The BPMS was used considering the following steps: (1) process design; (2) process definition; (3) process development and (4) process administration and utilization.
Our intention was to demonstrate the feasibility and operationality on using an open-source BPMS for BPM, processes modelling and processes implementation, instead of high cost proprietary solutions. The criteria used for selecting the tools was based on report analysis about BPMS, that supported the identification and justification of the adopted solution (Hill et al., 2009; Ovum, 2010; Richardson et al., 2010; Sinur & Hill, 2010).
The result was the processes development in the organization, with BPMN modelling and BPMS implementation, where we could demonstrate BPM approach in a sport organization.

Security Trends in the Retail IndustryIBM Security
View on demand webinar: https://securityintelligence.com/events/security-trends-in-the-retail-industry/
In 2014, significant threats and massive breaches made front-page news on a regular basis, and those that hit retailers seemed to be the ones that jumped to mind first. This may have been due, in part, to a sizable uptick in the number of cyber attacks against US retailers versus the prior year. In 2015 however, the cybercrime focus has shifted to online retailers and smaller businesses. With large retailers tightening security controls and safer chip cards coming into use, hackers are turning their sights to online transactions and smaller retail targets to capture consumer credit card data.
Join us as Nick Bradley, Practice Leader of the Threat Research Group at IBM Security, and Michelle Alvarez, Threat Researcher and Editor for IBM Managed Security Services, discuss findings from two recently-published reports on the threat landscape in the retail industry: IBM 2015 Cyber Security Intelligence Index for Retail, and Security trends in the retail industry, an IBM X-Force Research Managed Security Services report. This webinar will cover:
- An overview of security events, attacks, and incidents in the retail industry
- Attack trends over Black Friday-Cyber Monday, including 2015 data
- Who the attackers are, where the attacks are happening and what types of attacks are most commonly used
- The number of records compromised, and where the weak points are in retailer networks
- How cyber criminals are responding to the introduction of chip cards
It’s big. It’s bigger than you think. On January 1, 2015, the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) version 3.0 becomes the global PCI audit standard.
In this webinar, PCI QSA Jeff Hall shares the biggest gotchas that he’s encountered while working with clients.
Key insights will include:
• How will auditors’ requirements increase notably?
• What are the foreseeable problem hot spots?
• Why won't steps for passing PCI 2.0 cut it for 3.0?
You’ll also get a helpful checklist for 3.0 late starters!
PCI DSS v 3.0 and Oracle Security MappingTroy Kitch
Recent retail data breaches serve as a sobering reminder that the retail industry continues to be a key target of cybercriminals in 2014. In fact, according to the recent Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, nearly a quarter of all data breaches occurred in retail environments and restaurants. What can organizations do to lower their risk? Watch this slideshare to learn more.

Due Week 10 and worth 140 points
Imagine you are a manager at a major bottling company. Customers have begun to complain that the bottles of the brand of soda produced in your company contain less than the advertised sixteen (16) ounces of product. Your boss wants to solve the problem at hand and has asked you to investigate. You have your employees pull thirty (30) bottles off the line at random from all the shifts at the bottling plant. You ask your employees to measure the amount of soda there is in each bottle. Note: Use the data set provided by your instructor to complete this assignment.

Write a two to three (2-3) page report in which you:
1. Calculate the mean, median, and standard deviation for ounces in the bottles.
2. Construct a 95% Confidence Interval for the ounces in the bottles.
3. Conduct a hypothesis test to verify if the claim that a bottle contains less than sixteen (16) ounces is supported. Clearly state the logic of your test, the calculations, and the conclusion of your test.
4. Provide the following discussion based on the conclusion of your test:
a. If you conclude that there are less than sixteen (16) ounces in a bottle of soda, speculate on three (3) possible causes. Next, suggest the strategies to avoid the deficit in the future.
Or
b. If you conclude that the claim of less soda per bottle is not supported or justified, provide a detailed explanation to your boss about the situation. Include your speculation on the reason(s) behind the claim, and recommend one (1) strategy geared toward mitigating this issue in the future.

"How To Defeat Advanced Malware: New Tools for Protection and Forensics" is a FREE continuing education class that has been designed specifically for CIO's, CTO's, CISO's and senior executives who work within the financial industry and are responsible for their company's endpoint protection.
While phishing is an “old-fashioned” cyber security threat, attacks continue to increase. This course will better prepare you to defend against this threat.
This course focuses on SCADA/ ICS systems. The title of this course is: Advanced Threat Detection in ICS – SCADA Environments.
In this course we take a look at the effectiveness of honeypots within a SCADA/ ICS context. A honeypot typically consists of data, or a network site that appears to be part of the organization’s network, but is actually isolated and monitored, and which seems to contain information or a resource of value to attackers.
Learning Objectives:
James gave us our overview of the following points:
1. Why security is dead and rugged is the new currency.
2. Why automating security tests and putting them in your deployment pipelines is where security can add business value.
3. And, learn more about Gauntlt, the open source framework that helps you accomplish the technical side of automating security tests.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. This Is Where it All Began
December 15, 2004
PCI DSS V1.0 is launced
3. Payment Credit Card Security Standards
Who is the PCI Security Standards Council?
• The PCI Security Standards Council is an open global forum responsible for
the development, management, education, and awareness of the PCI Security
Standards
• Work closely with the five founding global payment brands: American
Express, Discover Financial Services, JCB International, MasterCard,
and Visa Inc.
• PCI Council official launch occurred in 2006
• Current Data Security Standard is V3.0 published in November 2013
• Standards Committee has established: Data Security Standard (PCI DSS),
Payment Application Data Security Standard (PA-DSS), and PIN Transaction
Security (PTS) requirements.
4. What is PCI DSS and PA-DSS?
• PCI Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) provides an actionable
framework for developing a robust payment card data security
process including prevention, detection and appropriate reaction
to security incidents.
• This applies to any organization with a Merchant ID (MID)
• PCI DSS V3.0 requirements must be completed by December 31st
• Payment Application Data Security Standard (PA-DSS) is the
global security standard created by the PCI Council in an effort to
provide the definitive data standard for software vendors that
develop payment applications
• (ie. POS application or website ecommerce)
5. How Does This Affect My Business?
Managing the Requirements:
• Companies that accept, process,
transmit, or store payment credit
cardholder data must adhere to PCI
Compliance requirements
• Having a SSL certificate for
your website is not enough as
this doesn’t prevent malicious
attacks or intrusions from
occurring
• If you electronically store cardholder
data post authorization or if your
processing systems have any
internet connectivity, a quarterly
scan by a PCI SSC Approved
Scanning Vendor (ASV) is required
Positive Impact and Benefits:
• Compliance with the PCI DSS
means that your systems are
secure, and you earn customer’s
trust in managing their personal
information resulting in future
business potential
• Helps you to be better prepared to
comply with other regulations as
they come along, such as HIPAA,
SOX, etc.
• Establishes a baseline corporate
security strategy
• Assists in identification of methods
to improve the efficiency of your IT
infrastructure
6. What Happens if I don’t Comply?
• Payment brands may, at their discretion, fine
an acquiring bank $5,000 to $100,000 per
month for PCI compliance violations
• Banks will also most likely either terminate
your relationship or increase transaction fees
if your organization is non PCI compliant
• Potential for lost revenues, customer
transitions, and an overall negative image in
the marketplace could negatively impact
future earnings potential
• Liable for lawsuits, insurance claims,
cancelled accounts, payment card issuer
fines, along with government fines
8. Current State of Data Security
• Breaches make headlines
• Businesses at risk
regardless of size
• The enemy is getting
smarter
• Companies must:
• Understand the threats
• Take steps to protect
themselves and their
customers.
9. • Industry demand has never
been higher
• The weakest link: The human
• Social engineering
• Lost/compromised login
credentials
• Careless behavior accounts for
most incidents
Need for Training
10. Reduce the Risk – Don’t Store Data
• Don’t store any payment card
data
• The less you have, the smaller a
target you’ll be
• Know what your vendors are
storing.
11. Reducing Risk – 3rd Party Data Security
• Use PCI validated Point of Sale
systems
• Confirm that your vendors follow
the PCI DSS and the PA DSS
• Talk to your bank about
reviewing your technology and
data storage practices
12. Reducing Risk – Strong Passwords
• Changing default
passwords could have
helped avoid the majority
of compromises.
• Nearly 80% of breaches of
confidential consumer
information involved
compromised passwords.
13. Reducing Risk – Updating Software
• Hackers take advantage of
software bugs
• Product vendors deal with
this by releasing software
updates and patches
• Use automated alert
services
14. Become Part of the Solution
1. Understanding of PCI Compliance and Requirements
2. Ongoing Education and Awareness
3. Take Steps to Safeguard your Business
4. Get Involved
5. Have a Plan
Editor's Notes
The PCI Security Standards Council is an open global forum for the ongoing development, enhancement, storage, dissemination and implementation of security standards for account data protection. PCI Council is a non profit organization whose mission is to enhance payment account data security by driving education and awareness of the PCI Security Standards. The organization was founded by American Express, Discover Financial Services, JCB International, MasterCard, and Visa Inc. The standard includes 12 requirements for any business that stores, processes or transmits payment cardholder data.
These requirements specify the framework for a secure payments environment; for purposes of PCI compliance, their essence is three steps: Assess, Remediate and Report.
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) was developed to encourage and enhance cardholder data security and facilitate the broad adoption of consistent data security measures globally. PCI DSS provides a baseline of technical and operational requirements designed to protect cardholder data.
Build and Maintain a Secure Network and Systems
1. Install and maintain a firewall configuration to protect cardholder data 2. Do not use vendor-supplied defaults for system passwords and other security parameters
Protect Cardholder Data
3. Protect stored cardholder data 4. Encrypt transmission of cardholder data across open, public networks
Maintain a Vulnerability Management Program
5. Protect all systems against malware and regularly update anti-virus software or programs 6. Develop and maintain secure systems and applications
Implement Strong Access Control Measures 7. Restrict access to cardholder data by business need to know 8. Identify and authenticate access to system components 9. Restrict physical access to cardholder data
Regularly Monitor and Test Networks
10. Track and monitor all access to network resources and cardholder data 11. Regularly test security systems and processes
Maintain an Information Security Policy 12. Maintain a policy that addresses information security for all personnel
Compliance is an ongoing process, not a one-time event. It helps prevent security breaches and theft of payment card data, not just today, but in the future:
As data compromise becomes ever more sophisticated, it becomes ever more difficult for an individual merchant to stay ahead of the threats
The PCI Security Standards Council is constantly working to monitor threats and improve the industry’s means of dealing with them, through enhancements to PCI Security Standards and by the training of security professionals
When you stay compliant, you are part of the solution – a united, global response to fighting payment card data compromise
But if you are not compliant, it could be disastrous:
Compromised data negatively affects consumers, merchants, and financial institutions
Just one incident can severely damage your reputation and your ability to conduct business effectively, far into the future
Account data breaches can lead to catastrophic loss of sales, relationships and standing in your community, and depressed share price if yours is a public company
One area that continues to grow in importance is the need for user training as people whom are involved in the processing, store, managing, or handling of personal credit cardholder information this affects everything from updating your passwords to avoiding phishing techniques and social engineering ploys to protecting your mobile devices by keeping software current. There are numerous real world examples that highlight the need for ongoing training and education so that users don’t fall prey or become victims to these potential threats.
One organization that provides some good insights into this topic is the Ponemon Institute- an independent research firm that focuses on education to advance responsible information and privacy management practices within business and government. Our mission is to conduct high quality, empirical studies on critical issues affecting the management and security of sensitive information about people and organizations. In a recent research report prepared by the Ponemon Institute ‘Exposing the Cybersecurity Cracks: A Global Perspective’ the following information was presented:
Raising the Human Security IQ:
Fifty-two percent of companies do not provide cybersecurity education to their employees, with only 4 percent planning to do so in the next 12 months.
Under half (42 percent) had undergone a cyber threat modelling process in their present role. Of those that did, nearly all, (94 percent) found it to be important in terms of managing their cyber risk.
In a recent UK survey of financial services cyber security skills programs: almost all employers are looking for experienced staff, not trainees - and few have the skills in-house to organize a training program. There is, however, serious interest in using the frameworks on a modular basis to upgrade the skills of those in post and to cross-train users who understand the business.”
With criminals looking to steal valuable payment card information, businesses of all sizes are at risk.
And persistent hackers are growing increasingly sophisticated and creative, so it’s important to clearly understand the nature of the threats that face us and take the necessary steps to protect our businesses and our customers.
Employees are the first line of defense against security attacks. But a lack of proper training and awareness can turn employees from assets into liabilities.
In fact, a recent forensics report highlights the importance of educating employees on best security practices, including strong password creation and awareness of social engineering techniques like phishing…
However an Enterprise Management Association report states that 54% of employees have not received any security Awareness education – so you can see there’s quite a need for in additional education the market
So in addition to improving training and education, there are other steps you can take to reduce your risk.
Most businesses don’t need to store any payment card data, so the number one thing you can do to limit your risk is to not store it unless absolutely necessary for business purposes!!
The less you have, the less of a target you’ll be for hackers - so you need to make sure that you are not storing this data in your computers or on paper.
In addition to knowing what data you store, it’s important to know what your technology vendors are storing.
If you are using commercially available point-of-sale, or POS systems, ask your payment software vendor to confirm that your software version has been PCI validated as not storing this data. Or, even better, go to the PCI Council’s website yourself and check the listing of validated payment software to see if yours is on there.
Also confirm with your payment processor that they are following the PCI Data Security Standard and the Payment Application Data Security Standard – and that all cardholder data storage is necessary and appropriate for the transaction type.
And don’t forget to talk to your bank about reviewing your technology and data storage practices.
Data breach reports continue to highlight that simple security measures such as changing passwords could have helped companies avoid the majority of compromises.
Are you still using the blank or default password that came with your computer or payment software or device? Or are you using 12345 or password1?
By using easy or default passwords, you leave the door wide open for attacks on your business.
It’s been estimated that nearly 80% of breaches of confidential consumer information involved compromised passwords.
Hackers are always looking to take advantage of the latest known software bugs as well as uncover unknown problems with commercially available software products.
Product vendors deal with this by releasing software updates or patches - but these are only good if you’re actually using them!
Not doing your security software updates is like having locks on your doors but not locking them!
Without the latest protections for your computer against viruses, spyware and other malicious software that can compromise your business, you’re leaving the door wide open for hackers.
Many vendors now offer automated alert services that provide prompt notification to their clients.
Some vendors also provide automated patching mechanisms.
Take these alerts seriously and make sure you’re taking advantage of the latest updates to protect your computers and your business.
The best way to learn more about PCI Compliance is to keep current with industry news by keeping you and your teams educated on the latest threats and learn how to avoid these risks. In many cases the easiest way to prevent an attack is by having users trained on what to watch out for and consider implementing a security awareness training program for your company. The PCI Council has some great free resources on their website which you can leverage and you have the opportunity to participate via planning committees, community meetings, and updates via ongoing communications.
