Computer security - , cybersecurity or information technology security (IT security) is the protection of computer systems from the theft of or damage to their hardware, software, or electronic data, as well as from the disruption or misdirection of the services they provide.
The field is becoming more important due to increased reliance on computer systems, the Internet and wireless network standards such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, and due to the growth of "smart" devices, including smartphones, televisions, and the various devices that constitute the "Internet of things". Owing to its complexity, both in terms of politics and technology, cybersecurity is also one of the major challenges in the contemporary world.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

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.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck

Computer Security Primer - Eric Vanderburg - JURINNOV
1. Computer Security Primer
Eric Vanderburg
Director, Information Systems and Security
Computer Forensic and Investigation Services
JURINNOV LTD
2. Objectives
• Identify who is responsible for information
security
• Describe security principles
• Use effective authentication methods
• Control access to computer systems
• Audit information security schemes
2
3. Identifying Who Is Responsible for
Information Security
• When an organization secures its information, it
completes a few basic tasks:
3
• It must analyze its assets and the threats these assets
face from threat agents
• It identifies its vulnerabilities and how they might be
exploited
• It regularly assesses and reviews the security policy to
ensure it is adequately protecting its information
4. Identifying Who Is Responsible for
Information Security (continued)
• Bottom-up approach: major tasks of securing
information are accomplished from the lower
levels of the organization upwards
• This approach has one key advantage: the bottom-level
4
employees have the technical expertise to
understand how to secure information
5. Identifying Who Is Responsible for
Information Security (continued)
5
• Top-down approach starts at the highest
levels of the organization and works its
way down
• A security plan initiated by top-level
managers has the backing to make the
plan work
6. Identifying Who Is Responsible for
Information Security (continued)
6
• Chief information security officer
(CISO): helps develop the security
plan and ensures it is carried out
•Human firewall: describes the
security-enforcing role of each
employee
7. Understanding Security Principles
•Ways information can be attacked:
• Crackers can launch distributed denial-of-service
(DDoS) attacks through the Internet
• Spies can use social engineering
• Employees can guess other user’s passwords
• Hackers can create back doors
• Protecting against the wide range of attacks calls
for a wide range of defense mechanisms
7
8. Layering
8
• Layered security approach has the
advantage of creating a barrier of multiple
defenses that can be coordinated to
thwart a variety of attacks
• Information security likewise must be
created in layers
• All the security layers must be properly
coordinated to be effective
9. Limiting
9
• Limiting access to information reduces the threat
against it
• Only those who must use data should have access
to it
• Access must be limited for a subject (a person or a
computer program running on a system) to interact
with an object (a computer or a database stored on a
server)
• The amount of access granted to someone should be
limited to what that person needs to know or do
10. Diversity
10
• Diversity is closely related to layering
• You should protect data with diverse layers of
security, so if attackers penetrate one layer, they
cannot use the same techniques to break
through all other layers
• Using diverse layers of defense means that
breaching one security layer does not
compromise the whole system
11. Diversity (continued)
• You can set a firewall to filter a specific type of
traffic, such as all inbound traffic, and a second
firewall on the same system to filter another
traffic type, such as outbound traffic
• Using firewalls produced by different vendors
creates even greater diversity
11
12. Obscurity
• Obscuring what goes on inside a system or
organization and avoiding clear patterns of
behavior make attacks from the outside
difficult
12
13. Simplicity
•Complex security systems can be difficult to
understand, troubleshoot, and feel secure
about
• The challenge is to make the system simple
from the inside but complex from the
outside
13
14. Using Effective
Authentication Methods
• Information security rests on three key pillars:
14
• Authentication
• Access control
• Auditing
15. Using Effective Authentication
Methods (continued)
• Authentication:
15
• Process of providing identity
• Can be classified into three main categories: what you
know, what you have, what you are
• Most common method: providing a user with a unique
username and a secret password
16. Username and Password (continued)
• ID management:
16
• User’s single authenticated ID is shared across multiple
networks or online businesses
• Attempts to address the problem of users having
individual usernames and passwords for each account
(thus, resorting to simple passwords that are easy to
remember)
• Can be for users and for computers that share data
17. Tokens
• Token: security device that authenticates the user by
having the appropriate permission embedded into the
token itself
• Passwords are based on what you know, tokens are
based on what you have
• Proximity card: plastic card with an embedded, thin metal
strip that emits a low-frequency, short-wave radio signal
17
18. Biometrics
• Uses a person’s unique characteristics to authenticate
them
• Is an example of authentication based on what
you are
• Human characteristics that can be used for identification
include:
18
• Fingerprint – Face
• Hand – Iris
• Retina – Voice
19. Certificates
• The key system does not prove that the senders are
actually who they claim to be
• Certificates let the receiver verify who sent the message
• Certificates link or bind a specific person to a key
• Digital certificates are issued by a certification authority
(CA), an independent third-party organization
19
20. Mutual Authentication
• Two-way authentication (mutual authentication) can be
used to combat identity attacks, such as man-in-the-middle
20
and replay attacks
• The server authenticates the user through a password,
tokens, or other means
21. Multifactor Authentication
• Multifactor authentication: implementing two or more
types of authentication
• Being strongly proposed to verify authentication of cell
phone users who use their phones to purchase goods and
services
21
22. Controlling Access to
Computer Systems
• Restrictions to user access are stored in an access control
list (ACL)
• An ACL is a table in the operating system that contains the
access rights each subject (a user or device) has to a
particular system object (a folder or file)
22
23. Auditing Information
Security Schemes
• Two ways to audit a security system
23
• Logging records which user performed a specific
activity and when
• System scanning to check permissions assigned to a
user or role; these results are compared to what is
expected to detect any differences
