A review of the current and future trends in cyber-security, how the law may treat a breach of cyber-security and what you can do to minimise your exposure.
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.
This presentation provides an introduction to cybersecurity. This presentation is a part of the Five days Faculty Development Program on Cybersecurity organized by the Department of Information Technology, Sri Ramakrishna Institute of Technology.
This session will discuss the main cyber threats for 2019 by including security public and private sector experts. After an overview of the top cybersecurity industry predictions for the coming year, the panel will discuss effective solutions and roadmaps needed as we head into the 2020s.
Main points covered:
• What are the top cyber threats facing enterprises in 2019?
• What do the major cybersecurity vendors believe will happen in the next few years?
• What is being done to prepare for daily cyber-attacks facing enterprises?
• What projects are leading Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) and Chief Risk Officers (CROs) implementing now?

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

BASIC RULES
22. NEW PROTECTION MECHANISMS
Windows Defender
• Scans the computer for malware
• Uses real-time protection for
checking of all downloaded
or executable files
Windows Firewall
• Filters information from the
Internet and blocks potential
malware
26. Provision of source codes
2002 – Russia became the first
country in the world, with which
Microsoft signed a Government
Security Program Agreement on
access to source codes of its
software
The agreement is prolonged
annually
Since 2003, a lab dedicated to
research of source codes of
Microsoft's products has been
functioning in Russia
PERMANENTLY

Editor's Notes
According to Norton Report, 2013
According to Symantec
Based on the results of Norton Report 2013:
85% Russians were exposed to cyber-criminals' activities in 2013
Kaspersky Lab and B2B research, 2014
According to the report, almost all companies (98.5%) were exposed to external threats at least once each year. Overall, the top 5 most popular threats to the SMB segment include: virus attacks and malware (75 percent), and software vulnerabilities (44 percent).
IDC research, Russia, 2013
Group-IB research, Russia, 2012
A variety of research, conducted in numerous countries, confirm a direct correlation between the situation with cybersecurity and the level of popularity of counterfeit software.
If the program is downloaded online after typing "download Windows for free" in a search engine, the user risks to lose his/her data in 92 out of 100 cases.
Obviously, it leads to significant reduction in the security level of both private and corporate users; today, cyber-criminals are using counterfeit software not supported by the manufacturer even more often than regular malware. It is no coincidence that the popular Windows XP became an object of the close attention of cyber-criminals who specialize in financial fraud, after Microsoft stopped its official support. Keep in mind that the most popular pirate version, ZverCD, is uploaded to almost every pirate website together with 63 integrated vulnerabilities.
Today, cyber-criminals represent serious international criminal groups,conducting their unlawful activities throughout the world and often "specializing" in different types of crime. For instance, cyberfraud is quite often primarily about monetary theft, however it is also a popular method for the distribution of counterfeit products, such as counterfeit medications, or the online distribution of child pornography and other types of criminal and perverted activities.
SAM CyberSecurity allows for the identification of common scenarios of IT vulnerabilities
Use of outdated software
Use of outdated software not supported by the manufacturer creates a serious risk and is a tempting target for cyber-criminals.
Not updated software. Failure to use the latest version of software or absence of the latest updates leaves the door open to cybercrime.
Absence of rules for software installation. Uncontrolled installation of software or purchase of software from an unknown vendor substantially increases the risk of the accidental downloading of malware.
Do not open suspicious messages received by email and do not follow the links they contain;
Do not download files from unverified resources (websites, memory cards) to PC;
Do not insert unknown flash drives (or USB flash drives) into corporate computers;
Do not install unverified third-party software on PCs;
Do not connect to the Internet using unverified Wi-Fi networks;
Use passwords which have the form of long phrases or sentences and contain a combination of lower-case letters, numbers and symbols etc.
Identifying common vulnerability scenarios:
Use of outdated software;
Use of older software not supported by the manufacturer;
Lack of rules on installing the software, and so forth
At the end of the project:
Plan a road map for improving cybersecurity levels
Reduction of legal risk by 98%
Savings of 15% on software over the next three years
Through the use of Excel Power Maps, as we investigated Citadel, we noticed an interesting phenomenon – the Citadel infections seemed to suddenly stop at the political border separating western Europe from eastern Europe.
We asked – HOW would a randomly spreading computer infection know where national borders are situated? To answer this question, the Digital Crimes Unit malware team conducted additional forensic analysis of the code underlying the botnet. The team identified that this program, designed to steal financial information from around the world, would check a computer’s language settings BEFORE infecting it, and would not infect computers with certain Slavic languages (Ukrainian or Russian, specifically). The criminals who created the botnet didn’t want to give their own local authorities reason, or jurisdiction, to take action against them.
Without big data and business intelligence, none of this would be possible.
Provision of source codes DOES NOT MEAN data transfer!! All user data is protected and immune!
