Cyber security is the practice of defending computers, servers, mobile devices, electronic systems, networks, and data from malicious attacks. It’s also known as information technology security or electronic information security. The term applies in a variety of contexts, from business to mobile computing, and can be divided into a few common categories.
3 Tips for Managing Risky User Activity in 2015ObserveIT
The single biggest security risk in 2015 will be your users. Whether it’s malicious or negligent activity, 69 percent of reported security incidents involve a trusted insider. What’s more, 84 percent of insider security incidents involve everyday business users - those with no admin rights. You have not one but hundreds—perhaps thousands—of these users who need to access to critical applications and data every day.
Check out these slides from a webinar with David Monahan, Research Director at Enterprise Management Associates (EMA), to learn helpful tips on how to make your organization more secure from the fastest growing security threat: User Based Risks. David is a senior Information Security Executive with nearly 20 years of experience. He has diverse experience with security, audit and compliance, and user risk in a wide range of industries.

Breaking down the cyber security framework closing critical it security gapsIBM Security
Cyber crime is pervasive and here to stay. Whether you work in the Public Sector, Private Sector, are the CEO for a Fortune 500 Company or trying to sustain a SMB everyone is under attack. This February, President Obama, issued an executive order aimed at protecting critical business and government infrastructure due to the scale and sophistication of IT security threats that have grown at an explosive rate. Organizations and Government agencies have to contend with industrialized attacks, which, in some cases, rival the size and sophistication of the largest legitimate computing efforts. In addition, they also have to guard against a more focused adversary with the resources and capabilities to target highly sensitive information, often through long-term attack campaigns. Many security executives are struggling to answer questions about the most effective approach.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

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).

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

2. Introduction to cybersecurity, 2013 Slide 2
The cybersecurity problem
• How big a problem is cybersecurity for
individuals, businesses and nations?
• Why is it difficult to make networked
systems secure?
3. Introduction to cybersecurity, 2013 Slide 3
The scale of the problem
• It’s a big problem
• How big ? We really do not know
• Many surveys on cyber-security related
losses but very wide variations and
different methodologies
4. Introduction to cybersecurity, 2013 Slide 4
Individuals
• Cyber fraud
• Identity theft
• Cyber bullying and cyber stalking
7. Introduction to cybersecurity, 2013 Slide 7
Businesses
• Differing estimates:
– The extent of losses depends on how these
losses are measured and what data is
collected
• Industry reluctant to release figures but
when they do, they tend to overvalue
assets
10. Introduction to cybersecurity, 2013 Slide 10
Nations
• Cyberattacks on critical infrastructures
are seen as a critical economic risk by
all countries
• Significant resources now being
devoted to cyberdefence
13. Introduction to cybersecurity, 2013 Slide 13
• Why has cybersecurity become such a
major problem
– Scale and ubiquity of the internet
– Lower level of physical risk to criminals
– Fundamental business and technical
reasons for insecurity
14. Introduction to cybersecurity, 2013 Slide 14
Business reasons
• Connection of computers to the internet
can cut costs, improve the efficiency
and responsiveness of business
processes and open up new
opportunities for interaction. Therefore
business has focused on connectivity
rather than security
15. Introduction to cybersecurity, 2013 Slide 15
• Security is inconvenient and slows down
transactions. Businesses have decided
to prioritise convenience and usability
over security.
• Accepting the cost of losses through
cyber fraud may be a cost-effective
strategy
16. Introduction to cybersecurity, 2013 Slide 16
Internet vulnerabilities
• The Internet was invented in the 1970s
as a network between organisations that
were trustworthy and which trusted each
other
• The information maintained on their
computers was non-commercial and not
thought to be of interest to others
17. Introduction to cybersecurity, 2013 Slide 17
• Consequently, security was not a factor
in the design of internet protocols,
practices and equipment.
• Security slows things down so efficiency
was prioritized
18. Introduction to cybersecurity, 2013 Slide 18
• These protocols made it easy for the
Internet to be universally adopted in the
1990s
• However, the problems can only be
properly addressed by a complete
redesign of Internet protocols, which is
probably commercially impractical.
19. Introduction to cybersecurity, 2013 Slide 19
Internet vulnerabilities
• Unencypted traffic by default
• Packets can be intercepted and the
contents read by anyone who intercepts
these packets
20. Introduction to cybersecurity, 2013 Slide 20
Internet vulnerabilities
• DNS system
– Possible to divert traffic from legitimate to
malicious addresses
– Easy to hide where traffic has come from
• Domain name servers vulnerable to
DoS attacks
21. Introduction to cybersecurity, 2013 Slide 21
Internet vulnerabilities
• Mail protocol
– No charging mechanism for mail
– Hence spam is possible
22. Introduction to cybersecurity, 2013 Slide 22
Technology is not the only
problem
• Internet vulnerabilities make possible
some kinds of cyber-attack but it is
important to remember that
cybersecurity is a socio-technical
systems problem
• Problems almost always stem from a
mix of technical, human and
23. Introduction to cybersecurity, 2013 Slide 23
Risk classification
• Risks due to actions of people
• Risks due to hardware or software
• Risks due to organisational
processes
24. Introduction to cybersecurity, 2013 Slide 24
Actions of people
• Deliberate or accidental exposure of
legitimate credentials to attackers
• Failure to maintain secure personal
computers and devices
25. Introduction to cybersecurity, 2013 Slide 25
• Insider corruption or theft of data
• Preference for convenience and usability over
security
– Weak passwords set because they are easy to
remember and quick to type
26. Introduction to cybersecurity, 2013 Slide 26
Hardware and software
• Misconfigured firewalls and mail filters
• Programming errors and omissions in
software lead to malicious penetration
– Buffer overflow attacks
– SQL poisoning attacks
27. Introduction to cybersecurity, 2013 Slide 27
Organisational processes
• No established process and checks for
updating and patching software
• Lack of security auditing
• Lack of systematic backup processes
28. Introduction to cybersecurity, 2013 Slide 28
Summary
• Cyber attacks are a major cost for business,
government and individuals. But quantifying
this cost is difficult.
– The Internet was not designed as a secure network
and making it secure is practically impossible
– To make systems useable, people take actions
that introduce vulnerabilities into sociotechnical
systems.
