Ethical hacking also known as penetration testing or white-hat hacking, involves the same tools, tricks, and techniques that hackers use, but with one major difference that Ethical hacking is legal. Ethical hacking is performed with the target’s permission. The intent of ethical hacking is to discover vulnerabilities from a hacker’s
viewpoint so systems can be better secured. It’s part of an overall information risk management program that allows for ongoing security improvements. Ethical hacking can also ensure that vendors’ claims about the security of their products are legitimate.

Scalar Security Roadshow: Toronto Presentation - April 15, 2015Scalar Decisions
On April 15, 2015, Scalar hosted our Security Roadshow in Toronto where we'll be focused on defence in three key areas - endpoint, application, and network. Led by our team of experts, these quick-fire, interactive sessions will arm you with the knowledge you need to improve your cyber security posture in some of the most common areas of vulnerability.
Defend the Endpoint with Bromium
Bromium is a new security protection tool for the host that relies on task-based virtualization. In this demo we'll look at how Bromium runs and protects the endpoint. We'll invite 0days from the audience and bring our own to show how the system really works. Much like how each virtual server is contained in a hypervisor, with Bromium each individual task on a host is contained in its own task-based virtual container. If you’ve ever looked at the Windows Task Manager, or the output of a Unix ‘ps’ process list, imagine if each group of processes, that makes up the task, was contained in its own hypervisor. That can be 40-50 tasks or more, each isolated in its own little hypervisor with no real access to the host.
Why is task virtualization helpful? By keeping each task in its own hypervisor, Bromium gives you a bottoms-up view of each individual task’s behaviour – without impacting system performance. If each process is contained in its own hypervisor, it’s easy to see when a process begins spawning other activities or creating any unusual traffic. Basically, it can very easily identify anything shifty. This is the most granular level of inspection you can get at a host level – Bromium is there at the very beginning when the virus begins to execute.
Defend the Application with WhiteHat
In this session we will look at a newer approach to application security and penetration testing, which combines persistent and automated testing processes to continuously monitor applications for vulnerabilities, as well as deep inspection of the business logic by trained specialists. This approach exceeds newer PCI 3 requirements and provides ongoing assurance that web application vulnerabilities are quickly detected and tracked to remediation.
We'll walk through the WhiteHat Security client management portal and discuss the WhiteHat methodology that can now be used, by you, to leverage the 150+ application specialists at WhiteHat to build a continuous application assessment process for your company's active web applications and software development teams.
Defend the Network with LogRhythm
As the security landscape changes, Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) tools that detect and investigate security breaches and threats have become increasingly complex to implement, integrate, and support. Inefficient solutions leave organizations slow to defend against and respond to complex attacks.
LogRhythm’s Security Intelligence Platform has removed the complexity from SIEM, while leveraging real-time threat intelligence with behavioural an
The Avid Life Media hack is a striking example of everything that can go wrong when a company is completely breached followed by a total disclosure of the stolen information. This attack resulted in an estimated $200 million in costs, firing of the CEO, and countless lives ruined. This presentation will review the data exposed and what can be learned to prevent this from happening to your organization.
Learn how to overcome security challenges, such as: identity theft, spoofed transactions, DDoS business disruption, criminal extortion and more. You'll learn how a security strategy promotes confidence in the cloud.

Government and Education Webinar: How to Reduce Vulnerabilities and Harden yo...SolarWinds
In this webinar, our SolarWinds sales engineer and guest speaker Eric Hodeen discussed how to reduce your vulnerabilities and harden your infrastructure. They also reviewed best practices, share resources, and demonstrate how our products can be used to help manage vulnerabilities at your organization. They reviewed common infrastructure hardening best practices and how to use the DISA STIGs to teach the basics such as validation of FIPS require protocols, baseline STIG’ed configuration for the enterprise, and other tips on securing your infrastructure .
During this interactive webinar, attendees learned how to::
• Leverage automated network configuration tools to deploy standardized configurations, detect out-of-process changes, audit configurations, and even correct violations
• Audit device configurations and logs for NIST FISMA, DISA STIG, and DSS PCI compliance
• Discover patch statuses and vulnerabilities, and automate patch management
• Detect, track, and compare system and application configuration changes to confirm changes, even when systems are off-line
• Leverage access rights management to understand and act on high-risk access and reduce vulnerabilities
Automating Critical Security Controls for Threat Remediation and ComplianceQualys
Trends like the increased use of cloud computing by businesses and their vendors introduce new complexities in reducing risk and assessing security across the supply chain. Demonstrating continuous risk reduction and compliance with internal policies and external regulations, fixing violations and configuration drift, centrally managing exceptions, and documenting progress are all common challenges.
The Center for Internet Security’s (CIS) Critical Security Controls (CSCs) were selected and prioritized by leading security experts to stop today’s most common and serious cyber threats. By implementing these controls, organizations can improve their security posture and reduce the risk of threats to critical assets, data, and network infrastructure.
In this webcast SANS Senior Analyst John Pescatore and Tim White, Director of Product Management for Qualys Policy Compliance (PC), discuss how you can achieve continuous security and compliance, and leverage Qualys solutions to address all 20 CSCs.
The presentation encompasses:
• An overview of the CIS Critical Security Controls, including ongoing updates
• Success patterns organizations have demonstrated for using the controls to their advantage
• How an automation can reduce the staffing load to determine whether controls are in place and effective
• How to prioritize remediation efforts
• Real-world examples of recent attacks that leveraged misconfigured systems

Application Security Testing for Software Engineers: An approach to build sof...Michael Hidalgo
This talk was presented at the 7th WCSQ World Congress for Software Quality in Lima, Perú on Wednesday, 22nd March 2017.
Writing secure code certainly is not an easy endeavor. In the book titled “Writing Secure Code: Practical Strategies and Proven Techniques for Building Secure Applications in a Networked World (Developer Best Practices)” authors Howard and LeBlanc talk about the so called attacker’s advantage and the defenders dilemma and they put into perspective the fact that developers (identified as defenders) must build better quality software because attackers have the advantage.
In this dilemma, software applications must be on a state of defense because attackers are out there taking advantage of any minor mistake, whereas the defender must be always vigilant, adding new features to the code, fixing issues, adding new engineers to the team. All this conditions are important when it comes to software security.
Sadly, strong understanding of software security principles is not always a characteristic of most software engineers but we can’t blame them. Writing code is a complex task per se, the abstraction level required, along with choosing and/or writing the accurate algorithm and dealing with tight schedules seems to be always a common denominator and the outcome when talking to developers.
This talk also includes techniques, tools and guidance that software engineers can use to perform Application Security testing during the development stage, enabling them to catch vulnerabilities at the time they are created.

Controls that are designed to mitigate the risk of fraud are not perfect. Enterprise software such as Oracle and SAP may have built-in controls, but they are limited in scope to the data and processes that the software "touches". The most successful fraudsters know how to exploit interfaces between different processes and systems. Furthermore, the typical fraud case persists for 14 months prior to detection*.
Deploying data analytics for continuous testing can overcome many of the limitations of traditional fraud detection. Timely and appropriate detection will help organizations mitigate the impact of frauds. Robust fraud detection systems will also act as powerful deterrents.

Sampling has existed as a standard for controls testing since controls testing began. We’ve developed algorithms to tell us how many samples we should pull and how many errors we can have and still pass the control. We’ve even developed algorithms to tell us how many more samples we can test if the control didn’t pass the first time.
If your goal is simply to do the minimum to pass a SOX audit, then these behaviors should probably continue. If your goals also include really improving the operations of the organization to make it stronger then a more holistic approach is needed, such as analysis on 100% of the population, rather than a small sample.
Most controls analytics do not require a degree in data science, but they do require the controls team begin changing its behaviors. Join us to understand what it takes to begin this change, it’s not as challenging as you might think.

Protecting personal data has been an important issue for many years. The EU GDPR extends the data rights of individuals, and requires organizations to develop clear policies and procedures to protect personal data, and adopt appropriate technical and organizational measures. UK organizations have had to comply with the Regulation since 25 May 2018, or potentially face fines of up to 4% of annual turnover or €20 million – whichever is greater.
Learning Outcomes:
This 10 webinar series is intended to elicit a clear understanding of the core elements of the GDPR, with the ability to gain a deeper understanding by asking the trainer questions during the training.
It covers how each aspect of the Regulation can be translated into implementation actions in your organization and the auditor’s role.

• Data protection by design
• Securing personal data
• Reporting data breaches
From time-to-time internal auditors are faced with situations which call for them to make an ethical decision. In addition, they may, in the middle of auditing, come across circumstances which themselves appear to be violations of a corporate
code-of-conduct.
Several laws now specifically state that internal auditors, in terms of the act, will be bound by the IIA Code of Ethics.
This webinar explores the IIA Code of Ethics as it applies to everyday situations the auditor may encounter.
The module is designed to provide the participants with an in-depth knowledge of:
Ethics theory
The IIA Code of Ethics
Applicable areas within Internal Audit
Reporting of material facts
Corporate Codes of Conduct
Auditing Corporate Ethics
Webinar contents will include:
Classes of Ethics
The role of business

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

RECONNAISSANCE
• In a number of public website pages a victim’s contact
information may be extracted and subsequently used
in targeted social engineering messages.
17
INITIAL INTRUSION INTO THE
NETWORK
• The most common and successful method has been the
use of social engineering combined with email
• The spoofed email will contain an attachment or a link to
a zip file. The zip file will contain one of several different
intrusion techniques:
• A CHM (Compiled HTML Help) file containing
malware
• A Microsoft Office document exploit
• Some other client software exploit, like an Adobe
Reader exploit.
• The attackers typically operate late in the night (U.S.
Time) between the hours of 10 p.m. and 4 a.m. These
time correlate to daytime in China
18
10. 9/25/2018
10
ESTABLISH A BACKDOOR INTO THE
NETWORK
• Attempt to obtain domain administrative credentials . . .
Transfer the credentials out of the network
• The attackers then established a stronger foothold in the
environment by moving laterally through the network and
installing multiple backdoors with different configurations.
• The malware is installed with system level privileges through
the use of process injection, registry modification or
scheduled services.
• Malware characteristics:
• Malware is continually updated
• Malware uses encryption and obfuscation techniques of
its network traffic
• The attackers’ malware uses built-in Microsoft libraries
• The attackers’ malware uses legitimate user credentials
so they can better blend in with typical user activity
• Do not listen for inbound connections
19
OBTAIN USER CREDENTIALS
• The attackers often target domain controllers to obtain user
accounts and corresponding password hashes en masse.
• The attackers also obtain local credentials from compromised
systems
• The APT intruders access approximately 40 systems on a victim
network using compromised credentials
• Mandiant (Consulting group from FireEye) has seen as few as 10
compromised systems to in excess of 150 compromised systems
20
11. 9/25/2018
11
INSTALL VARIOUS UTILITIES
• Programs functionality includes:
• Installing backdoors
• Dumping passwords
• Obtaining email from servers
• List running processes
• Many other tasks
• More Malware Characteristics:
• Only 24% detected by security software
• Utilize spoofed SSL Certificates
• ie. Microsoft, Yahoo
• Most NOT packed
• Common File names
• ie. Svchost.exe, iexplore.exe
• Malware in sleep mode from a few weeks to a few months to up
to a year
• Target executives’ systems
• Use of a stub file to download malware into memory (Minimal
Forensic Footprint)
21
PRIVILEGE ESCALATION / LATERAL
MOVEMENT / DATA EXFILTRATION
• Once a secure foothold has been established:
• Exfiltrate data such as emails and attachments, or
files residing on user workstations or project file
servers
• The data is usually compressed and put into a
password protected RAR or Microsoft Cabinet File.
• They often use “Staging Servers” to aggregate the
data they intend to steal
• They then delete the compressed files they exfiltrated
from the “Staging Servers.”
22
12. 9/25/2018
12
MAINTAIN PERSISTENCE
• As the attackers detect remediation, they will attempt to
establish additional footholds and improve the
sophistication of their malware
23
PREPARATION AND
DETECTION
• Preparation
• Follow Industry Compliance Guidelines:
• Robust logging
• Servers and Workstations will be more secure
• User credentials will be harder to crack
• Security appliances will be strategically distributed
• Detection
“You have to be able to look for complex signs of
compromise; integrate host-based and network-based
information; and go far beyond simple anti-virus and
network intrusion detection. You need to look inside
packets, files, e-mail – and even live memory of
systems that are still running.” (www.mandiant.com)

address pairing, URL browsed info)
• VPN Concentrators (hostname and
IP address pairing, date/time)
• DHCP (hostname and IP address
pairing, date/time)
• DNS (queried domain name and
system performing the query)

quartile and the low-risk quartile
• 4 Identify controls known / believed to be in place
• 5 Evaluate the effectiveness and cost/benefits of the
systems of internal control
• 6 Make recommendations where controls are deemed to
be inadequate
• 7 Test key controls to ensure their effectiveness
• 8 Re-evaluate based on known control
effectiveness and make recommendations
where appropriate
