A denial-of-service attack (DoS attack) or distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS attack) is an attempt to make a computer resource unavailable to its intended users. Although the means to carry out, motives for, and targets of a DoS attack may vary, it generally consists of the concerted efforts of a person or people to prevent an Internet site or service from functioning efficiently or at all, temporarily or indefinitely. Perpetrators of DoS attacks typically target sites or services hosted on high-profile web servers such as banks, credit card payment gateways, and even root name servers. The term is generally used with regards to computer networks, but is not limited to this field, for example, it is also used in reference to CPU resource management. There are two general forms of Dos attacks: those that crash services and those that flood services.
One common method of attack involves saturating the target machine with external communications requests, such that it cannot respond to legitimate traffic, or responds so slowly as to be rendered effectively unavailable. In general terms, DoS attacks are implemented by either forcing the targeted computer to reset, or consuming its resources so that it can no longer provide its intended service or obstructing the communication media between the intended users and the victim so that they can no longer communicate adequately.
Distributed Denial of Service or DDoS attacks have been in news a lot lately. This video will explain what those attacks are and provide recommendations on what you can do to prevent or mitigate those attacks on your business or website.

denial-of-service (DoS) attack floods a server with traffic, making a website or resource unavailable. A distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack is a DoS attack that uses multiple computers or machines to flood a targeted resource. Both types of attacks overload a server or web application with the goal of interrupting services.
As the server is flooded with more Transmission Control Protocol/User Datagram Protocol (TCP/UDP) packets than it can process, it may crash, the data may become corrupted, and resources may be misdirected or even exhausted to the point of paralyzing the system.

A brief overview of IBM Cloud security in three slides – SaaS, IaaS and PaaS, and the others providing a snapshot of IBM's current set of SaaS, IaaS and PaaS offerings.
Is there a magic security bullet anymore? Can we ever feel safe because we have a UTM or Layer 7 Firewalls? Can one security product vendor get it all done for you? What is the right combination of products and processes that can achieve the highest possible security posture for your organization?
These are questions that CIO’s and IT Executives have been asking themselves as of late with the rise of advanced persistent threats (APTs). Unlike traditional Malware and Viruses, new Crimeware and APTs completely hijack your equipment and operate in stealth so that they are more capable of going undetected.
This topic has become an issue of National Security; the biggest businesses in the US are struggling, even with their dedicated security teams.
So, what is a medium business of 100-5000 users to do?
Don’t wait for your installed products to find Malware and Crimeware! Traditional tools are woeful and inadequate.
Over the next 3 months, the CIO Executive Series will review 13 new approaches to Malware/Crimeware defense in order to better prepare you for the upcoming battle you’re sure to fight.
We will help you change the rules of the game by becoming proactive in rooting out malware!
Make it hard for these malicious APTs to operate in stealth.

The Art of Cyber War [From Black Hat Brazil 2014]Radware
With cyber-attacks becoming a growing concern for organizations, availability-based attacks, also known as Denial of Service or Distributed Denial of Service attacks, have long moved from a form of cyber protest to a destructive weapon that is used by cyber criminals, hacktivists and even governments.
In 2013 we saw a growing use of a new type of attack where attackers used legitimate transactions to saturate application servers’ resources. In this presentation, Security Expert Werner Thalmeier demonstrates how such an advanced attack can be created from a laptop running in an anonymous public WiFi network. He also evaluates the attack landscape and its impact on organizations as well as shares the best practices to protect against such cyber-attacks.
Understand the current availability-based threat landscape and learn about new types of cyber-attacks that are being used to saturate resources. For more information on the state of Application and Network Security, please visit: http://www.radware.com/ert-report-2013/

Tierpoint webinar: Multi-vector DDoS attacks: detection and mitigation_Jan2016TierPoint
Nearly half of those businesses who suffered a DDoS attack in 2014 saw their organization taken completely offline. Why? Because over 80% of DDoS attacks are now multi-vector, striking the application layer and the network layer simultaneously, and often dragging on for days. During this webinar, Paul Mazzucco, TierPoint's Chief Security Officer, describes how these multi-vector DDoS attacks are being perpetrated and what you can do to mitigate against these complex intrusions.
Think differently about security. Perimeter defenses are failing to protect customers. Hackers are getting smarter, more persistent and better organized. So must you.
Cyber Security Management in a Highly Innovative WorldSafeNet
Cyber attacks are reaching pandemic levels. State-sponsored groups and organized crime are successfully stealing valuable intellectual property—including critical infrastructure and operational readiness information, businesses’ and consumers’ financial data—often without anyone realizing the attack has occurred!
But preparedness cannot be delegated solely to the IT department. The involvement of the entire enterprise, armed with an understanding of the highly dynamic landscape, is vital for warding off potential threats.

Protect Yourself from Cyber Attacks Through Proper Third-Party Risk ManagementDevOps.com
Cyber attacks from nation-state actors and their proxies are on the rise. Many of these attackers seek a broader scale to do more damage than simply defacing a website with embarrassing propaganda or by causing a temporary internet outage with a DDOS attack. These hackers often have significant backing and resources from their nation-state sponsors, officially or unofficially.
Increasingly, they are targeting key infrastructures such as power utilities, financial networks, hospitals, healthcare organizations, and state and local governments. A popular tactic is to come in through vendors or managed service providers where they can leverage one successful hack to access dozens of entities. This makes proper vendor and third-party risk management more important than ever.
In this webinar, “Protect Yourself from Cyber Attacks Through Proper Third-Party Risk Management” we will discuss the threats, methods and attack vectors that hackers are using, with recent examples followed by best practice areas to focus on in order to secure your organization from these types of cyberattacks.

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.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert

19. Our Approach When Time Is Of the Essence
.
Live Tweet from the event!
@TheRedZoneCIO
• Review critical network components
• Communication with members
• Let board know there are no guarantees
20. How Can a Credit Union prepare and respond
during an attack?
An attack can be from hours to days…
Three Phases Are Needed
1. Pre-Attack Phase –
• Readying for an attack
• Securing mitigation solutions, deploying appropriate security
systems, etc.
2. During the Attack Phase
• Assemble the required manpower and expertise
• Considering that you may only experience a few attacks per year
3. Post-Attack Phase
• Conducting forensics, drawing conclusions and improving for the next
attack
• Search for additional competencies externally - from security experts,
vertical alliances, or government services.
• On-demand service Live Tweet from the event!

Live Tweet from the event!
@TheRedZoneCIO
• Attacks reach 40+ gigabits/second
• Attacker only needs 2,000+ servers
• Targets have to invest substantial resources to defend
• Reflective DNS attacks still major “weapon”
• Tactics have adapted to counter measures
• Attacks are more intelligent and deadly

31. What To Check
• Firewall – Basic DDoS Network Protection
• Load Balancers – Network DDoS Protection
• ISP Router – does it answer to the internet? (do you let
people ping?)
• Where is your DNS hosted? i.e. On a single server, with
the ISP, self hosted behind security (best), secure
cloud hosted (best)
• IDS/IPS and Security Services at the edge of your
network

@TheRedZoneCIO
32. What To Check
Live Tweet from the event!
@TheRedZoneCIOUlrich RSA
Defense
• Block DNS responses from
servers that don’t need to
see them
• Only answer queries for
which server is authoritative
• Limit access to recursive
name servers to internal
users
Offense
• Attacker uses queries for
which server is authoritative
• Attacker compromises
servers with substantial
bandwidth
• Use of “ANY” queries
• Use of EDN0

The Dell SonicWALL Threats Research Team
discovered a new Trojan spreading through
drive-by downloads from malicious links.
The Neglemir Trojan was found reporting to a
Botnet infrastructure and performing DDOS
(Distributed Denial of Service) attacks on
selected targets in China.
During our analysis, we found it targeting
various servers belonging to China Telecom as
well as websites selling tools for The Legend of
Mir, an online multiplayer roleplaying game.
• Web Application Firewalling – Content DDoS
• NSA UTM protection – Network DDoS
• Spam Filtering – Phishing Relevance

A new malware threat for the Mac, called “Pintsized,” attempts to set up a
secure connection for a remote hacker to connect through and grab private
information.
This backdoor Trojan can be used to conduct distributed denial of service
(DDoS) attacks, or it can be used to install additional Trojans or other forms of
malicious software. The Trojan stays hidden by disguising itself as a file that is
used for networked printers in Mac OS X.
This tactic conceals the Trojan and makes a monitor think that a printer is
seeking access to the network, thus evading traditional signature-based
detection systems. http://alrt.co/15ekmXW
Takeaway: Distributed denial-of-service attacks (DDOS) can be minimized or
even completely mitigated by a properly planned Web security infrastructure
consisting of global DNS as well as Web application firewalls.

42. RZ Assessment
• RedZone will assess your risk
• Examine a number of factors
• Score you based on those factors (RZ Scoreboard)
• Better to be proactive and assess now to find potential
weaknesses than to be reactive after you’ve already
been hacked
