Improving Cybersecurity and Resilience Through Acquisition Emile Monette GSAGovCloud Network
When the government purchases products or services with inadequate in-built “cybersecurity,” the risks created persist throughout the lifespan of the item purchased. The lasting effect of inadequate cybersecurity in acquired items is part of what makes acquisition reform so important to achieving cybersecurity and resiliency.
Currently, government and contractors use varied and nonstandard practices, which make it difficult to consistently manage and measure acquisition cyber risks across different organizations.
Meanwhile, due to the growing sophistication and complexity of ICT and the global ICT supply chains, federal agency information systems are increasingly at risk of compromise, and agencies need guidance to help manage ICT supply chain risks

Safeguarding the Digital Realm: The Importance of Cybersecurity
Introduction:
In our increasingly interconnected world, cybersecurity has emerged as a critical concern for individuals, organizations, and governments alike. The pervasive nature of technology and the rapid digitization of various sectors have brought about numerous benefits, but they have also introduced unprecedented risks and vulnerabilities. As cyber threats continue to evolve in sophistication and scale, it is crucial to understand the significance of cybersecurity and adopt effective measures to protect our digital infrastructure.
The Ever-Present Cyber Threat Landscape:
Cyberattacks come in various forms, including data breaches, malware infections, ransomware attacks, phishing scams, and more. The motives behind these attacks range from financial gain to espionage, activism, and even geopolitical warfare. The digital landscape is teeming with hackers, criminal syndicates, and state-sponsored actors who constantly seek to exploit vulnerabilities in computer systems and networks. The impact of successful cyberattacks can be devastating, causing financial losses, reputational damage, and compromising personal privacy.
Protecting Sensitive Data:
One of the primary objectives of cybersecurity is to safeguard sensitive information. This includes personal data, financial records, intellectual property, and classified government documents. Robust encryption algorithms, secure authentication protocols, and effective access controls are essential components of protecting data from unauthorized access. Additionally, data backup and disaster recovery strategies play a crucial role in ensuring that information remains intact and accessible even in the event of a breach.
Securing Critical Infrastructure:
Cybersecurity is not limited to protecting personal information or corporate data; it also extends to safeguarding critical infrastructure. Industries such as energy, transportation, healthcare, and finance heavily rely on interconnected networks to function effectively. A breach in these sectors could result in catastrophic consequences, ranging from power outages and disruptions in transportation systems to compromised patient records and financial instability. Consequently, robust cybersecurity measures must be implemented to protect these vital systems from malicious actors.
Building a Cyber-Resilient Culture:
While technological solutions play a significant role in cybersecurity, an equally important aspect is fostering a cyber-resilient culture. This involves educating individuals and organizations about the risks, promoting good cyber hygiene practices, and cultivating a mindset of vigilance. Regularly updating software, using strong and unique passwords, enabling multi-factor authentication, and being cautious of suspicious emails or links are some of the fundamental steps to bolster cybersecurity defenses. Organizations should prioritize employee training programs and e
The importance of understanding the global cybersecurity indexShivamSharma909
With the advent of modern technologies such as IoT, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing, there is a rapid increase in the number of interconnected devices globally. It has also increased the number of cyber-attacks and data breaches. As a result, cybercrime is a global concern, and appropriate solutions are essential if proper responses are to be found. The Global Cybersecurity Index (GCI) is one such instrument to control cybercrime and provide feedback.

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.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
