6 Steps for Operationalizing Threat IntelligenceSirius
The best form of defense against cyber attacks and those who perpetrate them is to know about them. Collaborative defense has become critical to IT security, and sharing threat intelligence is a force multiplier. But for many organizations, good quality intelligence is hard to come by.
Commercial threat intelligence technology and services can help enterprises arm themselves with the strategic, tactical and operational insights they need to identify and respond to global threat activity, and integrate intelligence into their security programs.
Threat intelligence sources have varying levels of relevance and context, and there are concerns about data quality and redundancy, shelf life, public/private data sharing, and threat intelligence standards. However, if processed and applied properly, threat intelligence provides a way for organizations to get the insight they need into attackers’ plans, prioritize and respond to threats, shorten the time between attack and detection, and focus staff efforts and decision-making.

Cyber Threat Intelligence - It's not just about the feedsIain Dickson
Presented at BSides Perth 2019
Synopsis:
Although the practice of collecting and using intelligence has been studied and conducted by governments and the military for centuries, it’s relative application to Cyber Security has only recently been highlighted. This area of infosec has been termed Cyber Threat Intelligence, where the marriage of traditional intelligence techniques and analysis with deep technical understanding within the Cyber domain are used to predict future actions by threats through long term analysis and modelling. This approach is then used to support both proactive and reactive cyber security actions, from incident response to penetration testing. This presentation focuses on threat intelligence from a practical data perspective, moving away from just the commercial concept of threat intelligence feeds (although these form one part of the equation). This presentation will approach threat intelligence from an analysts perspective of what questions needs to be answered to effectively investigate an incident, using the Diamond Model and Cyber Kill Chain as framing devices. These questions will then lead to examples of the data that can be used to answer these questions. Although traditionally data collection has focused on external cyber information, more often than not however, it’s actions outside of those seen within an organisations network, or even outside cyberspace that can provide context to the actions a threat takes. Finally, we provide a number of use cases on which the results of threat intelligence processes can be applied within a Security Operations Centre, including Incident Response as well as traditional Penetration Testing and Red Teaming.
Threat intelligence is information that informs enterprise defenders of adversarial elements to stop them.
It is information that is relevant to the organization, has business value, and is actionable.
If you having all data and feeds then data alone isn’t intelligence.

As we get to know what life in the digital domain is like, one of the revelations we've had is that many large and plenty of smaller organisations are targets of espionage, of the nefarious APT.
During the last decade, it has become gospel to wait, watch, analyse and learn if you detect such an attacker in your infrastructure. Why? Because you get one chance to do the eviction of the attacker right. And if you fail, all your efforts will eventually have been for nothing.
But for how long should you wait and watch? When have you watched long enough? When have you learned enough? And how do you make that decision?
That is the challenge I hope the Cyber Threat Intelligence Matrix can help you face in a more structured manner.
Cyberthreat Defense Report 2017 by ImprevaGhader Ahmadi
CyberEdge Group's fourth annual Cyberthreat Defense Report provides a penetrating look at how IT security professionals perceive cyberthreats and plan to defend against them. Based on a survey of 1,100 IT security decision makers and practitioners conducted in November 2016, the report delivers countless insights IT security teams can use to better understand how their perceptions, priorities, and security postures stack up against those of their peers.
In this presentation we will look at the cause and effect of the problem, analyze preparedness and learn how you can better prepare, detect, respond and recover from cyber-attacks.
Cyber Security Beyond 2020 – Will We Learn From Our Mistakes?Raffael Marty
The cyber security industry has spent trillions of dollars to keep external attackers at bay. To what effect? We still don't see an end to the cat and mouse game between attackers and the security industry; zero day attacks, new vulnerabilities, ever increasingly sophisticated attacks, etc. We need a paradigm shift in security. A shift away from traditional threat intelligence and indicators of compromise (IOCs). We need to look at understanding behaviors. Those of devices and those of humans.
What are the security approaches and trends that will make an actual difference in protecting our critical data and intellectual property; not just from external attackers, but also from malicious insiders? We will explore topics from the 'all solving' artificial intelligence to risk-based security. We will look at what is happening within the security industry itself, where startups are putting placing their bets, and how human factors will play an increasingly important role in security, along with all of the potential challenges that will create.
Big Bang Theory: The Evolution of Pentesting High Security EnvironmentsChris Gates
This presentation focuses on pentesting high security environments, new ways of identifying/bypassing common security mechanisms, owning the domain, staying persistent, and ex-filtrating critical data from the network without being detected. The term Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) has caused quite a stir in the IT Security field, but few pentesters actually utilize APT techniques and tactics in their pentests.
The session will discuss means in which information assets and business continuity is protected and propose an additional layer of defense with a human counterespionage focus. The proposed proactive counterespionage plan includes operational security audits, reverse open source intelligence and classification of employees who are prime targets for disruptive espionage.

Webinar: Get Ready to Detect, Respond & Recover from a Cyber AttackAujas
It is given that you will be hacked, irrespective of your level of cyber security. Learn how you can detect, respond & recover from cyber attacks. Quicker.
Key Content:
1. The threat landscape and how existing monitoring and response capabilities are ineffective in detecting and responding to advanced cyber attacks
2. Lifecycle and speed of an attack and how early detection can help in responding and managing losses
3. Blueprint for an effective (and vendor agnostic) Incident Management Program
If you have been tracking the Cyber Security News lately, one thing is for sure - Cyber Attacks are imminent and it is a matter of time when you will be the next one to come under an attack, if not already.
What Robert Mueller, Former Director of FBI said in RSA Conference in March 2012 is still very relevant.
"I am convinced that there are only two types of companies: those that have been hacked and those that will be. ” and what he says further makes it worse "And even they are converging into one category: companies that have been hacked and will be hacked again."
Cyber attacks are no more a work of lone warriors or a group of hackers but involve cyber crime syndicates, collaborating and pumping large amount of money, precision, knowledge, expertise and persistence. Their capabilities are equal if not better than state sponsors.
Data says that cyber security incidents affects all kinds of organizations - small, medium or large and across all industries - financial, telecom, utility, health care, education and more. Organizations fail to detect and respond to security incidents due to weak monitoring capabilities and lack of expertise, tools and procedures.
In this webinar we will look at the cause and effect of the problem, analyze preparedness and learn how you can better prepare, detect, respond and recover from cyber attacks.

Companies need to have the ability to: View “Holistic attack surface”,2. Mission realization, and 3.Kill the threat easily 60% of breached organizations included in the 2015 Verizon DBIR were initially compromised within minutes, and yet for most of those organizations it took hundreds of days to detect the intruders. Fortunately, an intrusion does not equal a breach. In fact, there are usually several steps that typically follow an initial compromise before the bad guys get away with the goods or disrupt a critical service. Detecting early warning signs such as an initial system compromise, command and control activity or suspicious lateral movement of intruders can provide the necessary lead time to respond and defuse.

Hunting Hard & Failing Fast (ScotSoft 2019)Harry McLaren
Many organisations have invested millions in building security operations teams, deploying powerful monitoring and reporting tools and then asking for continual improvement in the form of tuning, threat hunting and developing new threat models. However, within large enterprises, these types of changes either represent a risk of making changes to a live production platform or take weeks or months to go through the development and release process or route-to-live. This session outlines some DevOps principals and associate framework for enforcing change management, but still supporting rapid changes to code and configuration.

Satori Whitepaper: Threat Intelligence - a path to taming digital threatsDean Evans
Threat management continues to be a hot topic within cybersecurity, and rightfully so.
Understanding the evolving technical and behavioral threat landscape and adapting
mitigation controls is the key to proactive risk management. Actionable threat intelligence is critical to enabling effective threat management. It provides visibility into the temperature within the threat actor community, what they are doing and how they are doing it (tactics techniques and procedures (TTPs)). The challenge is sorting through the volumes of threat data to identify what’s relevant and actionable.
This document is intended to communicate how threat intelligence can be used to reduce business risk. The audience is security, compliance and IT professionals interested in
proactive risk management.
Threat intelligence (TI) is at the maturity level to become a decision making tool. TI refers to evidence based information including context such as mechanisms, Indicators of Compromise (IOC), Indicators of Attribution (IOA), implications and actionable advice about existing or emerging hazards to assets. TI allows the technical staff professionals to make better decisions and take action accordingly
Evidence-Based Security: The New Top Five ControlsPriyanka Aash
Most cybersecurity professionals know the CIS Top Five Critical Security Controls. Yet, the evidence that they are effective is slim. Using data on cyber-incidents, researchers looked at the attack paths used by adversaries and determined what controls could have disrupted these attack paths. The result is a new set of critical controls that organizations should implement on a priority basis.
Learning Objectives:
1: Understand evidence-based approach to selecting controls.
2: Understand why the “new top five” controls were selected.
3: Chart a pathway to implementing the new top five controls.

How To Turbo-Charge Incident Response With Threat IntelligenceResilient Systems
Minutes, hours, days - each one counts when responding to a security incident. Yet most firms have a lot of room for improvement. According to the 2013 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, in 66% of cases (up from 56% last year), breaches remained undiscovered for years, and in 22% of cases, it took months to fully contain the incident.
This webinar will review the challenges firms face in trying to create a rapid and decisive incident response (IR) process. It will then highlight the crucial role that timely, contextual threat intelligence can play in turbo-charging incident response, particularly when tightly integrated with the broader IR discipline. Finally, it will reveal the power of this approach by demonstrating Co3's integrated threat intelligence capabilities including intel from industry-leader iSIGHT Partners.

Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.

The ability to recreate computational results with minimal effort and actionable metrics provides a solid foundation for scientific research and software development. When people can replicate an analysis at the touch of a button using open-source software, open data, and methods to assess and compare proposals, it significantly eases verification of results, engagement with a diverse range of contributors, and progress. However, we have yet to fully achieve this; there are still many sociotechnical frictions.
Inspired by David Donoho's vision, this talk aims to revisit the three crucial pillars of frictionless reproducibility (data sharing, code sharing, and competitive challenges) with the perspective of deep software variability.
Our observation is that multiple layers — hardware, operating systems, third-party libraries, software versions, input data, compile-time options, and parameters — are subject to variability that exacerbates frictions but is also essential for achieving robust, generalizable results and fostering innovation. I will first review the literature, providing evidence of how the complex variability interactions across these layers affect qualitative and quantitative software properties, thereby complicating the reproduction and replication of scientific studies in various fields.
I will then present some software engineering and AI techniques that can support the strategic exploration of variability spaces. These include the use of abstractions and models (e.g., feature models), sampling strategies (e.g., uniform, random), cost-effective measurements (e.g., incremental build of software configurations), and dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., transfer learning, feature selection, software debloating).
I will finally argue that deep variability is both the problem and solution of frictionless reproducibility, calling the software science community to develop new methods and tools to manage variability and foster reproducibility in software systems.

spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.
Nutraceutical market, scope and growth: Herbal drug technologyLokesh Patil
As consumer awareness of health and wellness rises, the nutraceutical market—which includes goods like functional meals, drinks, and dietary supplements that provide health advantages beyond basic nutrition—is growing significantly. As healthcare expenses rise, the population ages, and people want natural and preventative health solutions more and more, this industry is increasing quickly. Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.
Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
hematic appreciation test is a psychological assessment tool used to measure an individual's appreciation and understanding of specific themes or topics. This test helps to evaluate an individual's ability to connect different ideas and concepts within a given theme, as well as their overall comprehension and interpretation skills. The results of the test can provide valuable insights into an individual's cognitive abilities, creativity, and critical thinking skills

Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvementIshaGoswami9
As the population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion upto 2050. Also due to climate change, it is difficult to meet the food requirement of such a large population. Facing the challenges presented by resource shortages, climate
change, and increasing global population, crop yield and quality need to be improved in a sustainable way over the coming decades. Genetic improvement by breeding is the best way to increase crop productivity. With the rapid progression of functional
genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding
the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can
be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus,
high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes
during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology,
and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.
ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.

A helicopter was flying around above Seattle when an electrical malfunction disabled all of the aircraft's electronic navigation and communications qquipment. Due to the clouds and haze, the pilot could not determine the helicopter's position and course to fly to the airport. The pilot saw a tall building, flew toward it, circled, drew a handwritten sign, and held it in the helicopter's window. The pilot's sign said "WHERE AM I?" in large letters. People in the tall building quickly responded to the aircraft, drew a large sign and held it in a building window. Their sign read: "YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER." The pilot smiled, waved, looked at her map, determined the course to steer to SEATAC airport, and landed safely. After they were on the ground, the co-pilot asked the pilot how the "YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER" sign helped determine their position. The pilot responded "I knew that had to be the Microsoft building because, like their technical support, online help and product documentation, the response they gave me was technically correct, but completely useless.”
