Some 2.4 billion global Internet users—34 percent of
the world’s population—spend increasing amounts
of time online.1 As our online activity expands,
it isn’t just creating new ways to do business. It’s
revolutionizing business. However, like any mass
movement with significant ramifications, the
Internet-enabled life has risks as well as benefits.
Some are willing to accept those risks without much
consideration. Others want to take the time for a
more contemplative response, but events are moving
too quickly for long debate. What we really need is
a Call to Action that addresses the risks demanding
urgent attention.
To balance the benefits of the digital life,
management needs to understand and grapple
with four equally powerful forces:
Democratization – The way customers insist
on interacting via the channels they prefer,
rather than the channels the organization
imposes.
Consumerization – The impact of the many
devices and applications that span work and
play in our digital lives.
Externalization – The ways in which cloud
computing slashes capital expenditure and
shakes up how data moves in and out of
organizations.
Digitization – The exponential connectivity
created when sensors and devices form the
“Internet of Things.” These forces interact in ways
that make eradicating Cyber Risk impossible;
eliminating it in one area simply shifts it to the
others.
However, by following best practices, it is possible
to reduce your organization’s exposure to Cyber
Risk across the board. By addressing the real and
growing risks we face as individuals, businesses, and
governments, we can begin to create an optimal
environment of Cyber Resilience. This Manifesto sets
out a road map for that process.

The cyber threat landscape is increasing in complexity and frequency. Organizations that have historically not been the target of cyber attacks now make headline news with large data losses and compromised transactions. Organizations need a clear point of view on how to respond to these threats, and one that incorporates not only the relevant technology but also the organizational changes needed.
Nick Bradley, Practice Leader of the IBM Threat Research Group and the X-Force Threat Analysis Team, and Nick Coleman, Global Head Cyber Security Intelligence Services outline what organizations need to do now and in the future to stay ahead of the growing cyber security threat.

A Time of Great Risk: The Time Between Compromise and Mitigation
In most organizations today, threat detection is based on various security sensors that attempt to look for anomalous behavior or for known signatures of malicious activity. These sensors include firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS), application gateways, anti- virus/anti-malware, endpoint protection, and more. They operate at and provide visibility into all layers of the IT stack.
Data Privacy, Information Security, and Cybersecurity: What Your Business Nee...PECB
95% of cybersecurity breaches are due to human error. That’s what Cybint’s facts and stats article shows.
Seeing this high percentage of risk that might lead to greater loss, organizations should be well aware of their processes and procedures in place. Decisive for avoiding breaches is that everyone in the organization is able to understand and detect potential threats beforehand and react in a quick and effective way.
The webinar will cover:
• The most recent attacks such as the supply chain attacks
• Trends, and statistics
• The impacts of the pandemic on cybersecurity landscapes, closing the gaps on remote workforce security,
• How to improve your organization’s cybersecurity posture by asking the right questions and implementing a tiered approach

Five principles for improving your cyber securityWGroup
Corporate assets have been shifting from physical assets to virtual assets over the past 20 years. This trend has been accompanied by a corresponding increase in the vulnerability of intangible assets, leading to a greater general awareness of corporate cyber security risks. The alteration or destruction of a company’s data can result in harm to reputation, loss of public confidence, disruption to infrastructure, and legal sanctions. The security risk can adversely impact a company’s stock price and competitive position in the marketplace. In this document, WGroup cites 5 principles that will help improve a business's cyber security. The 5 principles are risk identification, risk management, legal implications, technical expertise, and expectations.
Evolution security controls towards Cloud ServicesHugo Rodrigues
Cloud services require appropriated security controls to extend trust and reduce uncertainty. Formal controls reveal to be ineffective. By focusing on the intersection between cloud services can support reliable management and financial health.
In 2015 alone, hackers stole the records of - 11 million people from Premiere Blue Cross- 10 million people from Excellus BlueCross BlueShield- 80 million people from Anthem. We review the challenges, trends and opportunity of the cyberspace wars. Presented to APICS Ventura on March 8, 2016 by Gerry Poe - CEO of Santa Clarita Consultants. http://www.scc-co.com
Most organizations have good enterprise-level security policies that define their approach to maintaining, improving, and securing their information and information systems. However, once the policies are signed by senior leadership and distributed throughout the organization, significant cybersecurity governance challenges remain. In this workshop I will explain the transforming organizational security to strengthen defenses and integrate cybersecurity with the overall approach toward security governance, risk management and compliance.

With data breaches occurring on what seems to be a daily basis, there must be something that cloud security can offer the world right? Well we are going to go on an offensive and defensive journey to look at how I designed, built and still operate a capture the flag service using cloud technologies and how I used offensive capabilities to ensure I only have the intended flags stolen!
Most information security (InfoSec) teams have a good handle on the manner in which InfoSec is designed and managed for internal or monolithic applications, but what about the cloud? The VMware InfoSec Architecture function had to redesign and reimagine those structures and models to fit a highly adaptive cloud world—all while taking into account containers, microservices, IoT, and other cutting edge advances our business employing now. Topics covered include a quick overview of the ecosystem at VMware, our methodology for high-performing InfoSec, how we have adapted our old models and architected them into our new services and solutions, and how we created our cloud security architecture model.
Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

Advancements in technology unveil a myriad of electrical and electronic breakthroughs geared towards efficiently harnessing limited resources to meet human energy demands. The optimization of hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems plays a pivotal role in utilizing natural resources effectively. This initiative not only benefits humanity but also fosters environmental sustainability. The study investigated the design optimization of these hybrid systems, focusing on understanding solar radiation patterns, identifying geographical influences on solar radiation, formulating a mathematical model for system optimization, and determining the optimal configuration of PV panels and pumped hydro storage. Through a comparative analysis approach and eight weeks of data collection, the study addressed key research questions related to solar radiation patterns and optimal system design. The findings highlighted regions with heightened solar radiation levels, showcasing substantial potential for power generation and emphasizing the system's efficiency. Optimizing system design significantly boosted power generation, promoted renewable energy utilization, and enhanced energy storage capacity. The study underscored the benefits of optimizing hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems for sustainable energy usage. Optimizing the design of solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems as examined across diverse climatic conditions in a developing country, not only enhances power generation but also improves the integration of renewable energy sources and boosts energy storage capacities, particularly beneficial for less economically prosperous regions. Additionally, the study provides valuable insights for advancing energy research in economically viable areas. Recommendations included conducting site-specific assessments, utilizing advanced modeling tools, implementing regular maintenance protocols, and enhancing communication among system components.

Pivot now to some of the outputs from the resilience gap study. How is your company looking at the complexity of today, but also tomorrow?
Mentioned earlier that technology is driving change in business processes but as processes become more reliant on technology, we introduce more technical vulnerability into the supply chain.
technology is moving at breakneck speed and it is important that the threats of tomorrow and today are considered as the security function serves the business. Look at this stat from our study, 34% of respondents cited growing complexity as a barrier to business resilience. Big Data, IoT, Blockchain and cloud – these techs are all all having profound impact on the way businesses operate.
When I first started in tech - IT ran the show! - machines, apps, data
This leaves the CISO with a plethora of recurring questions – transition to next slide.
Or Docker containers, Google Big Query. Look at the security tools too.
SaaS, IaaS, PaaS. No two implementations are created equally. We have vendors who ‘take security seriously’, we have very public examples of others who don’t.
We cannot say ‘cloud is either security in insecure’ – requirements differ depending on the criticality of a system and the data being stored or processed.
In the same way that a single speed limit for all roads would be inappropriate, a standard set of controls for all cloud solutions is not feasible.
Road analogy – 70 mile an hour on a country lane would be foolhardy but enforcing a ’safe’ country lane speed limit on a motorway would be equally dangerous. Context is critical.
This equation holds as true today as it ever has.

Let’s look at some resilience
Business data – we cannot have resilience if we don’t know what needs to be resilient
DevOps – resilience – traditional project models allow for security due dilliegence, Agile, Scrum and DevSecOps…less so.
Visibility – how do we know what services are business units are consuming? Wherer are they putting data? Reslience impossible if we cannot measure.
Visibility of endpoints – one of biggest challenges I see focuses on breadth of coverage. Companies are comfortable that they have ‘appropriate controls’ on the endpoints they know about, but there is often little confidence that they have an accurate picture of all endpoints on their network.
How quickly can you deploy a patch or hunt for a particular threat indicator? How is this being measured?
Latest regulation – GDPR, CCPA or Austrilian data privacy regulations. PCI-DSS, HIPPA
Are all your staff adequately trained? What is ‘awareness’ amyway? I think we have some challenges inside and outside of cybersecurity on this one…
