Cybersecurity: Cyber Risk Management for Banks & Financial InstitutionsShawn Tuma
Everyone should now understand that no bank or financial institution is immune from cyber risk. Many are now ready to move forward with improving their cyber risk posture but do not know what to do next or how to prioritize their resources. Recognizing that cybersecurity is an overall business risk issue that must be properly managed to comply with many laws and regulations governing banks and financial institutions, this presentation will provide a strategy for how to better understand and manage such risks by:
(1) Providing an overview of the legal and regulatory framework;
(2) Examining the most likely real-world risks; and
(3) Providing strategies for how to manage such risks, including cyber insurance and the development and implementation of an appropriate cyber risk management program (which is not as difficult as it sounds).
Shawn E. Tuma, cybersecurity and data privacy attorney at Spencer Fane, LLP, delivered the presentation titled Cybersecurity: Cyber Risk Management for Banks & Financial Institutions (and Attorneys Who Represent Them) at the Southwest Association of Bank Counsel 42nd Annual Convention on September 20, 2018 (formerly, Texas Association of Bank Counsel).
What trends will 2018 bring for Business Continuity Professionals?PECB
Many business continuity practitioners are perceiving a higher level of risk than ever before in their careers. Unfortunately, these risks are more often resulting in real incidents which require emergency response and continuity of operations. Being prepared may be the most important thing an organization can do in 2018. But what should we prepare for, and how should we prepare for it? This discussion will walk through some of the emerging threats concepts, tools, and techniques that business continuity professionals can expect to see more of in 2018.
Main points covered:
- What should we prepare for in 2018?
- How should we prepare?
- The emerging threats, concepts, tools, and techniques expected in 2018
- Emerging threats creating new risks

Symantec Intelligence Report - October 2014Symantec
The number of spear phishing attacks per day continues to trend downward over the last twelve months, coming in at 45 per day in October. Of the attachments used in such email-based attacks, the .doc attachment type comprised 62.5 percent and .exe attachments made up 14.4 percent. Of the industries attacked, the category of Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate received 28 percent of all spear phishing attempts in the month of October, followed by Manufacturing at 17 percent.
The largest data breach that was disclosed in October took place back in July. This breach had previously been reported; however, we learned this month that the breach resulted in the exposure of identities within 76 million households, plus information on an additional seven million small businesses.
In the Mac threat landscape, OSX.Okaz was the most frequently encountered OSX risk seen on OSX endpoints, making up 28.8 percent of OSX risks. OSX.Okaz is an adware program that may modify browser homepage and search settings.
Finally, ransomware as a whole continues to decline as the year progresses. However, the amount of crypto-style ransomware seen continues to increase. This particularly aggressive form of ransomware made up 55 percent of all ransomware in the month of October.
Strategies to combat new, innovative cyber threats in 2019SrikanthRaju7
We will focus on sharing our predictions for the big new changes we expect to see in cyber attacks and attack patterns in the coming year.
Before we dive into those, we will spend a little bit of time focusing on the five newest tactical attacks we expect to see a whole lot more of in 2019. After that, we will look into the big new shifts in targets and attack strategy that will dominate
Cyberwarfare over the coming year.
After we review the tactical and strategic threats you will need to look out for next year, We will provide a look at the primary defensive strategies you can deploy to combat tomorrow’ emerging threats.
That being said, while we feel confident that these represent some of the biggest new movements in the cybersecurity landscape in 2019, we also recognize that we are not the only experts here. And that there might be some big, effective attack and defense strategies that did not make it into our presentation.So, I welcome you to please share your own views on what you think will be the key threats in the comments here.

cannot be the only solution and has to be a shared
responsibility. The board and business executives are
expected to incorporate the management of cyber risk
as part of their business strategy since they are
accountable to stakeholders, regulators and
customers. For the CROs, CISOs, and Security and Risk
Management Professionals to be on the same page,
there has to be a single source of truth for
communicating the impact that cyber risk has on
business outcomes, in a language that everyone can
understand.
Cybersecurity Risk Management for Financial InstitutionsSarah Cirelli
The New York State Department of Financial Services has been closely monitoring this ever-growing threat and has proposed regulations that would require financial services companies to adopt a cybersecurity program to protect their customers, employees, data and operations. Its proposed changes are expected to take effect on March 1, 2017. Financial services companies would have until Feb. 15, 2018, to submit a certificate of compliance with the program. Components of New York's proposed cybersecurity program are outlined in this article.
CIOs and Cybersecurity Safeguarding the Digital Frontierwilliamshakes1
CIOs play a pivotal role in safeguarding the digital frontier.
Their responsibilities include risk assessment, policy development, and staying informed about emerging technologies.
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.
What exactly is internet safety?The process of shielding computers, networks, software applications, critical systems, and data from potential digital threats is known as cybersecurity. Data security is an important part of maintaining customer confidence and complying with regulations. They protect sensitive data from unauthorized access and prevent network activity that would disrupt business operations by utilizing cybersecurity tools and measures. By streamlining digital defenses across people, processes, and technology, organizations implement cybersecurity.How significant is cybersecurity?Digital systems and high-speed connectivity are used by businesses in a variety of industries, including manufacturing, energy, transportation, retail, and customer service. These industries also use digital systems to run their operations at a lower cost. They must safeguard their digital assets and systems from unauthorized access in the same way that they safeguard their physical assets. A cyber attack is the deliberate destruction and unauthorized access to a computer system, network, or connected facility. Confidential data could be leaked, stolen, deleted, or altered by a successful cyberattack. Cybersecurity measures provide the following advantages in addition to protecting against cyberattacks. Stop data breaches or cut costs associated with them Organizations that implement a cybersecurity strategy can reduce the negative effects of cyberattacks, which can have an impact on a company's reputation, finances, operations, and customer trust. Disaster recovery plans, for instance, are initiated by businesses to contain potential intrusions and minimize business disruption.To safeguard sensitive data from potential cyber risks, businesses in particular geographies and industries must adhere to regulatory requirements. For instance, European businesses are required to adhere to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which mandates the use of appropriate cybersecurity measures to safeguard data privacy.Reduce Emerging Cyber Threats As technology advances, so do cyberattacks. For gaining unauthorized system access, criminals utilize novel tools and devise novel tactics. To keep up with these brand-new and constantly evolving digital attack tools, organizations will implement and upgrade cybersecurity measures. Stop data breaches or cut costs associated with them Organizations that implement a cybersecurity strategy can reduce the negative effects of cyberattacks, which can have an impact

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

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.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

2. WHY CYBER THREAT FORECAST?
This is meant for educational purposes; serve as a reference point, a reminder an awakening to every
organization, business owners, decision makers, management staff, consultants, experts in the world of
cyber security.
INNEVITABLE FACTS & NUGGETS
As long as the Cyber space still exist and the Internet is still in use, then Cyber-attack will never seize.
Cyber Criminal will be on the increase because they keep meeting their desired TARGETS ‘which is to attack,
steal information ,cause harm, make money from the victims., that alone is enough to encourage them to
continue to attack.
Cyber-attacks will continue to grow and only the informed and prepared will survive or experience minimal
losses.
An effective cyber security management and awareness will go a long way in helping to mitigate Cyber risk
and cyber-attacks.
It is pertinent to iterate that no organization will have any justifiable reason to deliberately by omission,
commission or human error to position themselves to fall victim by ignoring warnings from global cyber
security intelligence reports, cyber threat forecasts that has been shared for free on the Internet
Every organization’s is expected to protect its assets, reputation, intellectual property, staff and customers.
Even though cyber criminals cannot be prevented from striking none the less prepared organizations will
have skillful cyber security experts in place, have good incidence response policy and response in place, will
have a good cyber resilience program in place.
The reception of internet of things (IoT) devices into the society has been good thus far but we are quick to
forget that emergence of internet of things (IoT) devices comes with it’s own risk which If not mitigated can
result to a disaster.
There is great expectation of targeted attacks every year since inception and 2018 is with not
exemption because the cybercriminals are not sleeping, they keep working day by day to
ensure they meet target which is to, steal, hold business to ransom, extort, cost losses as
they work in line with their source of motivation.
3. CYBER SECURITY LOVE LETTER TO ALL
To Everyone who might need this, Healthcare sector, the government, Educational sector and small businesses,
The whole world/organization/business decision makers.
CYBER RISK IS BUSINESS RISK
Almost everyone is aware and have all read about cyber-attacks in past years till date.
This is a wakeup call to ensure to put in place Cyber Security framework if it does not exist.
Make the Cyber Security Framework effective if it exist and ensure compliance.
There is a need to develop Cyber Security resilience framework so as to mitigate the company’s Cyber risk which is a
business risk.
ADDRESSING CYBER RISK THROUGH CYBER RESILIENCE
CYBER RESILIENCE is the ability to operate the business processes in normal and adverse
scenarios without adverse outcomes. Specifically, resiliency strengthens the
firm’s ability to identify, prevent, detect and respond to process or technology failures and
recover, while reducing customer harm, reputational damage and financial loss.
RESILIENT BUSINESSES HAVE SEVERAL COMMON CHARACTERISTICS:
Creating awareness of cyber risk at board-level this is key and inevitable.
Development of cyber resilience plan. The planning process should include undertaking a review of
key contracts to identify the allocation of risk and responsibility; identifying critical systems, data
and services; investing in employee training; and understanding and implementing appropriate
technical measures (such as firewalls and data encryption).
The cyber resilience plan should incorporate a data breach response plan setting out the
framework for managing a data breach. The features of an effective plan include a list of the
members of the response team; the actions and escalations to be taken in the event of a data
breach; and the procedures for determining whether to notify affected individuals.
To become more cyber resilient, firms need to not only incorporate the front-end security, but
also More secure processes and systems, Strong controls with a strong control environment, A
solid risk culture, Digitized and automated processes, the business risk/reward decision making,
risk management and control techniques, as well as secure employee adoption
The Regular testing and amendment will help improve the Cyber Resilience plan.
4. Paying attention and complying with the regulatory standard without leaving any stone unturned.
Creating cyber resiliency should span business processes and infrastructure. For example, it should include re-architecting
business processes to reduce the access, dissemination, and reliance on highly sensitive data. It should also involve re-
architecting infrastructure and systems to limit the extent of potential damage when an attack occurs or systems and
processes fail. And it may include re-working ways in which legal and liability protections are incorporated into service
agreements to prevent fraud-related losses or expenses associated with remediating impacted customers.
It is a known fact that Experts do not have foolproof solution for cyber risks therefore it is necessary to review the existing
insurance contract so as to be sure cyber risk insurance is an appropriate investment.
Most of the Cyber Security experts includes cover for first party losses (such as the cost of hiring technical experts to identify
and address the cause of the data breach and engaging public relations professionals to conduct reputational repair services),
Regulatory costs (such as fines or penalties, and notification and monitoring expenses) in addition to third party liability cover
for any claims arising from the data breach.
7. Ultimately, improving an organization’s cyber resilience will require vigilance and preparedness at all levels of the organization, from
board members to executive management to each and every member of staff
But the threats from a cyber-event are becoming more prolific. So, although the walls are in place, the threats or activities to commit fraud or
attack a firm are evolving to evade traditional measures of protection.
Organizations cannot protect themselves at all times from the myriad of potential attacks through multiple channels. So putting in place structures,
technologies and processes to build resilience—or fast recovery—is critical to operating effectively in today’s connected world.
CYBER SECURITY LOVE LETTER TO ALL 2018
CYBER THREAT FORECAST 2018
8. CYBER THREAT FORECAST
2018
1 REGULATORY COMPLIANT The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
(Regulation (EU) 2016/679) is a regulation by which the European Parliament, the Council of the
European Union and the European Commission intend to strengthen and unify data protection for all
individuals within the European Union (EU).
This year 2018 the GDPR will enforce larger penalties for both breaches of personal data and breaches
of meeting GDPR obligations.
A lot of companies that are not complaint will get very busy to adapt and improve existing processes and
procedures in time to meet the May deadline.
ATTACKs
2. RANSOMEWARE ATTACK Every organization that fails to Implement & enforce the complaint of a
cyber-security policies is likely to get attacked by ransomware , the persistence of Cerber and outbreaks
of WannaCry and Petya (also known as NotPetya, since it was a variant of the original but with new
behaviors). Looking at the raw numbers, WannaCry bested Cerber as the most pervasive &prolific
ransomware family, remaining active since its initial outbreak in mid-May.
There is a need for companies that develop software’s to have & Improve the company’s software life
cycle development process so to reduce the risk of attackers infiltrating the codes.They cybercriminal will
keep looking out for loop holes like the known systems vulnerability, lack of effective patch
management/systems this exploit will lead to breach of data and will be used as a means of spreading
ransom ware.
The malware we protect our customers from transcends operating systems, Ransomware in particular
targets Android, Mac, Windows and Linux users alike. (Android phones run a modified version of Linux.
There is a need to focus heavily on breach and incident readiness which is why organization should have a
Cyber Resilience. Plan.
9. 3. MOBILE APP ATTACK This year 2018 there will be a rapid primary vector of attack on
mobile applications particularly via the mobile or desktop that control them .The attack will be
on the increase in such a way that it will outpace the adoption of security practices that can
prevent or mitigate damage.
4. NETWORK-BASED ATTACK This year 2018 there will be several attacks against hospitals
and other clinical settings, the network-based attack is an attack to look out for as it will be
lunched against unsecured or easily compromised vast amounts of data in the medical industry
.same will be on the rise this year.
5. IDENTITY THEFT ATTACK This year 2018 there will be theft of individual medical data,
identity theft should be expected whilst there will be extortion.
6. PROOF OF CONCEPT ATTACK This year 2018 proof of concept attack will be on the rise
against devices that are not monitored, Cyber criminals will cause damage& make profit from
it. Attacks against implantable devices will continue, particularly devices like insulin pumps and
pacemakers – while device manufacturers in this area will likely be increasingly rolling out
security to protect against threats
7. CYBERCRIMINALS WILL UNLEASH ATTACK ON CRYPTO CURRENCIES There is a lot of
interest in crypto currency which is gaining recognition all over the world today. This crypto
currency push will motivate crooks to initiate fraudulent activities against virtual currency scheme.
Cyber criminals will continue to use malware to steal funds from victims’ computers or to deploy
hidden mining tools on machines. A growing number of websites will be compromised to host miner
scripts used to monetize the computational capability of the visitors. Cyber criminals will steal
crypto coin from users.
8. CYBER ESPONIONAGE ATTACK Cyber Espionage attack will be on the rise this year 2018 as
Russia will continue to target western entities, The State-sponsored hacker groups from both North
Korea will also launch attacks this year more countries of the world will be affected and attacked.
9. ATTACK ON CLOUD SECYRITY INFRASTRUCTURE This year 2018 Cloud infrastructures will
experience security breaches because cyber criminals now have interest in cloud storage
Infrastructure, they seem motivated by the profit thy can make from their victim.There is going to
be an increase in state-sponsored attacks and I see that they will take advantage of any one who
will fall victim and make as much profit as possible from them.
10. 10. INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATION OF CYBERCRIME FIGTERS This year 2018 There is
going to be an increase in cyber awareness all over the world because cyber security experts now
sees the need to collaborate effort Internationally to work with law enforcement agencies
worldwide to ensure they give support as they work towards dismantling cybercriminal gangs
across the world.
11. CYBER BULLYING ON THE RISE This year 2018 there will be a rise in Cyber Bullying .
Teenagers are the most exposed to this practice, and the number of victims will dramatically
increase despite the numerous initiatives of the authorities worldwide. States will promote new
campaigns to prevent these phenomena and provide a high response to this cruel cybercrime.
