The top challenges to expect in network security in 2019 survey report Bricata, Inc.
The Bricata team conducted a survey to ask cybersecurity professionals about the challenges and opportunities they face in network security.
64% of respondents say network security is harder this year as compared to last and for a range of reasons. This includes the sophistication of threats, but also the proliferation of IT infrastructure and the complexity of environments given that changes stemming from cloud, IoT and BYOD, among others.
While insider threats (44%) and IT infrastructure (42%) topped the list of network security challenges no single topic drew a simple majority. Lack of leadership support, security technology interoperability, shadow IT, BYOD and the deluge of security alerts were among the top 10.
Most organizations used between 1-10 tools for the purpose of network security. About one-third of respondents said these tools were not integrated, while another 28% said these tools were just somewhat integrated. No respondents indicated tools in their environment were completely integrated.
About a quarter (26%) of respondents say their organization receives 1,000 or more security alerts per day. More importantly, the vast majority (84%) say these require 5 or more minutes each to triage. “A decent number of false-positives waste quite a bit of time,” wrote one respondent. “On the other hand, some alerts are- -critical, but we are missing vital information, which we then spend ages trying to locate.” Some admit they just can’t review all alerts.
While just about one-third (32%) say they are doing threat hunting today – a majority (61%) of respondents believe that threat hunting will be either more important or much more important in the next 12 months.
Security analytics, security integration and behavioral analysis were the top three areas of security respondents said organizations should focus on over the next year. Interestingly, collaboration out ranked machine learning and AI as a recommended area of focus.
Some 34% of respondents said the relationship between security and DevOps is strong, while 27% said it isn’t. By contrast, 51% of respondents said the relationship between security and the business is strong, while 22% said it isn’t.
Organizations are improving cyber resilience and showing they can perform better under greater pressure as the number of targeted attacks more than doubles.
In the digital business environment, trust is built on two components: ethics and security. Consumers not only expect
cybersecurity; they demand it in today's trust-based digital economy.
Hear how security pros are responding and adapting to increased attacks and breaches, including facilitating more comprehensive cyber threat management strategies and best practices and the increasing investments and resource utilization to mitigate these challenges. Listen to the webinar, based on the Cybersecurity Resource Allocation & Efficacy (CRAE) Index study for Q1 2021, from CyberRisk Alliance Business Intelligence to hear the panel of experts:
•Review survey results from CRAE Index’s Q1 global research study;
•Discuss the latest trends on proactive and reactive cybersecurity; and
•Hear insights on what lies ahead.

2016 Scalar Security Study Executive Summarypatmisasi
Executive Summary of the 2016 Scalar Security Study. The study examines the cyber security readiness of Canadian organizations and the trends in dealing with growing cyber threats.
We surveyed 650+ IT and IT security practitioners in Canada , and found that organizations are experiencing an average of 40 cyber attacks per year and only 37% of organizations believe they are winning the cyber security war. We looked at average spend, cost of attacks, and technologies that are yielding the highest ROI. We also provide recommendations on how you can benchmark your own security posture and what you can do to improve.

Taking the Pulse of IT Security for 2019: Results from Syncsort's Security Su...Precisely
In 2018 we saw multiple security regulations become effective – most notably the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). As a result, businesses already grappling with increasingly sophisticated cybersecurity attacks now must contend with additional regulatory requirements.
To check the pulse of IT teams managing security, Syncsort surveyed over 300 IT professionals on the state of security in their organization – and it's not surprising that the "growing complexity of regulations" was ranked as the #1 security challenge for 42% of the respondents in the year ahead.
Concerningly, 45% of the respondents reported that their organization had experienced a security breach in 2018 and the confidence reported by respondents did not align with their ability to prevent breaches and meet Service Level Agreements.
Hear from Syncsort’s security experts to learn what the survey revealed about:
• Security priorities and challenges for 2019
• Reported breaches and whether survey respondents met their breach response metrics
• Initiatives for strengthening security and achieving compliance in 2019
In a survey of U.S. technology and healthcare executives nationwide, Silicon Valley Bank found that companies believe cyber attacks are a serious threat to both their data and their business continuity.
Highlights
- 98% are maintaining or increasing resources devoted to cyber security
- 50% are increasing their cyber security resources, preparing for when, not if, cyber attacks occur
- Just 35% are completely or very confident in the security of their company information, and only 16% feel the same about their business partners

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.
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.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
