This document discusses distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks and botnets. It explains that DDoS attacks use multiple compromised internet-connected devices to overwhelm a target with traffic. Large botnets like Conficker have infected millions of devices worldwide. While targets can defend against low-level attacks, high volume attacks are difficult to defend against. Ultimately, reducing DDoS attacks requires addressing the root causes that enable the creation of botnets, such as improving user awareness of computer security and developing better security tools.
Decentralized Internet ppt slides for educational purposes and can be used for Technical seminars. This gives you an overview of decentralization." LETS US LEARN TOGETHER BY SHARING SLIDES".
One of the key methods cybercriminals are using is ransomware, most famously the Cryptolocker malware,
and its numerous variants, which encrypts the files on a user’s computer and demands the user to pay a ransom, usually in Bitcoins, in order to receive the key to decrypt the files. But Cryptolocker is just one approach that criminals are taking to demand ransom, and the techniques are evolving on a daily basis. To guard against ransomware, it is not enough to know the malware that is making the rounds that day. It is vital to have a broader understanding of the topic, so one can take effective countermeasures against this evolving threat.

Information on decoding/reading, encoding/spelling, comprehension, critical thinking, vocabulary, math, oral directions, word attack, word recognition, paragraph reading. All grade levels, including adults and students with prior diagnosis of dyslexia, hyperlexia, ADD/ADHD, and autism spectrum disorders.
The latest massive IoT DDoS attack from the Mirai botnet that took major websites like Twitter and Reddit offline for hours – has already gained notoriety as one of the worst DDoS strikes in history.
In this webinar Manish Rai & Ty Powers of Great Bay Software will help you understand exactly how the enterprise IoT landscape is changing, and what it means for the assumptions organizations have been making in regards to safeguarding against IoT cyberattacks. You will:
Gain insights into how the recent IoT-based DDoS attacks were launched
How similar attacks could be launched inside enterprise networks
How to safeguard against IoT device compromises
How to reduce your risk, whose job is it anyway?
Learn about what your peers are doing for IoT device security, relevant findings from the 2016 Great Bay Software IoT Security Survey

There is a good chance that you have heard of artificial intelligence, machine learning, blockchain and bots. However, do you know what the implications of each of these technologies are? How it can and will impact your business in the near future? In this talk, we will discuss these technological trends, as well as a few others, that you will need to be familiar with as your association prepares to compete over the next few years. Let's take a peek into the future that is already here!
How to stop and apocalypse with second hand laptops and Open Source Software.Emerson Tan
In the dark days of October 2014 an unprecedented Ebola epidemic wrecked havoc across Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea. In Sierra Leone, the health system was only weeks away from total collapse due to an inability to manage or pay health workers across the country and the world braced for the unchecked spread of the disease throughout west Africa. In the face of an apocalyptic scenario, a company made up of local hackers took on the unprecedented challenge of building, implementing and running a huge Management Information System and Mobile payments system to keep the health system from collapsing. This talk will show how this was achieved with Open Source Software, second hand laptops, hacked voter registration machines, second hand smartphones and some very smart and determined young people used to achieving great things with none of the resources we take for granted in the developed world.

Digital revolution with Cloud computingTarry Singh
Digital revolution is upon us. Cloud has become increasingly mature, social has taken over our lives by storm, whether twitter, Facebook, linkedin or just about doing anything with our personal or private lives. Mobile / smartphone is almost literally wearable tech in our pockets but more is coming. And finally with big data & analytics (structured and unstructured), we are at the brink of defining our new lives as "fully informed consumers". IoT (Internet of things) is the next big platform, a marketplace where all things will happen. Yes, all of the things!
This presentation was given in Malaysia conference 2009 and it still holds true!

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

2. What
is
DDoS?
• “Distributed
Denial
of
Service
A>ack”
– Uses
mulBple
hosts
on
the
Internet
to
focus
traffic
against
one
or
more
targets.
– MulBple
can
mean
100’s
of
machine
but
could
also
mean
millions
– Generates
more
traffic
than
the
target
can
handle,
hence
denying
service
to
legiBmate
traffic
4. Just

5. BotNets
are
a
big
Problem
• You
can
not
talk
about
DDoS
without
menBoning
the
hijacked
machines
that
are
used
in
the
a>acks!
• Viruses/Worms
etc.
are
used
to
enable
control
of
poorly
secured
machines.
• Can
be
spread
in
numerous
ways.
6. How
big
is
the
BotNet
Problem?
• We
don’t
really
know
– Seriously!
That
is
a
sign
of
how
bad
it
is..
• One
BotNet
is
Conficker:
– We
can
measure
+/-‐
6
million
unique
IP
addresses
showing
conficker
infecBons
globally….
– However
that
does
not
count
individual
infecBons
behind
firewalls..
The
Chinese
say
that
they
see
18
million
conficker
infecBons
every
month!

7. Can
you
defend
against
this?
• You
can
provision
to
deal
with
low
level
a>acks.
(bandwitdth,
system
resources)
• You
can
have
processes
in
place
to
push
back
on
a>acks.
(Filtering
at
upstreams)
• This
is
an
arms
raise,
one
where
we
pay
for
our
resources
but
the
“bad
guys”
don’t
8. • Infected
machines
are
not
just
used
for
DDoS,
-‐ Also
used
to
collect,
store
and
move
data.
-‐ (Including
peoples
IdenBBes,
money
and
other
sensiBve
data)
• If
someone
owns
your
machine
they
can
do
anything
with
it
that
you
can
do
including
some
things
you
would
never
think
of
doing
9.
“fight
the
disease
not
the
symptoms”
• We
cannot
remove
the
threat
of
DDoS
unless
we
tackle
the
issues
that
allow
for
BotNets.
• If
we
are
seeing
millions
of
machines
infected
then
clearly
the
way
we
are
currently
doing
things
is
not
working
10. User
awareness
and
computer
hygiene
needs
to
be
drasBcally
improved.
That
means
more
educaBon
and
be>er
user
tools.
We
must
find
ways
to
make
cybercrime
less
rewarding
and
much
higher
risk.
This
is
no
different
to
real
world
crime
problems!
