Information security involves protecting information and systems from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption or destruction. It aims to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information through technical, administrative and physical controls. The most common principles of information security are confidentiality, integrity, availability, authenticity, non-repudiation and accountability. Access controls like identification, authentication and authorization help enforce security policies and protect information based on user roles and permissions. Cryptography also plays an important role through encryption to render data unusable without authorization. Information security requires an ongoing, layered approach to safeguard information throughout its lifecycle.

Understanding the UAE Personal Data Protection LawAhad
The UAE Personal Data Protection Law applies to the processing of personal data by data controllers and processors operating within the UAE, regardless of whether the processing takes place electronically or through traditional means. The law seeks to strike a balance between enabling the free flow of data for legitimate purposes while safeguarding individuals' right to privacy.
Despite efforts to implement information risk management systems, data breaches still occur frequently, especially internally. This is likely due to issues at both the systems and people levels. At the systems level, there are often too many different management systems that are not integrated, resulting in overlapping controls. At the people level, under-awareness of risks and demotivation from inefficient controls can undermine protection efforts. A successful information risk management approach requires addressing both technical and human aspects through coordinated strategies around governance, culture, procedures and technology.

Database Security—Concepts,Approaches, and ChallengesElisaOllieShoresna
Database Security—Concepts,
Approaches, and Challenges
Elisa Bertino, Fellow, IEEE, and Ravi Sandhu, Fellow, IEEE
Abstract—As organizations increase their reliance on, possibly distributed, information systems for daily business, they become more
vulnerable to security breaches even as they gain productivity and efficiency advantages. Though a number of techniques, such as
encryption and electronic signatures, are currently available to protect data when transmitted across sites, a truly comprehensive
approach for data protection must also include mechanisms for enforcing access control policies based on data contents, subject
qualifications and characteristics, and other relevant contextual information, such as time. It is well understood today that the
semantics of data must be taken into account in order to specify effective access control policies. Also, techniques for data integrity
and availability specifically tailored to database systems must be adopted. In this respect, over the years the database security
community has developed a number of different techniques and approaches to assure data confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
However, despite such advances, the database security area faces several new challenges. Factors such as the evolution of security
concerns, the “disintermediation” of access to data, new computing paradigms and applications, such as grid-based computing and on-
demand business, have introduced both new security requirements and new contexts in which to apply and possibly extend current
approaches. In this paper, we first survey the most relevant concepts underlying the notion of database security and summarize the
most well-known techniques. We focus on access control systems, on which a large body of research has been devoted, and describe
the key access control models, namely, the discretionary and mandatory access control models, and the role-based access control
(RBAC) model. We also discuss security for advanced data management systems, and cover topics such as access control for XML.
We then discuss current challenges for database security and some preliminary approaches that address some of these challenges.
Index Terms—Data confindentiality, data privacy, relational and object databases, XML.

1 INTRODUCTION
AS organizations increase their adoption of databasesystems as the key data management technology for
day-to-day operations and decision making, the security of
data managed by these systems becomes crucial. Damage
and misuse of data affect not only a single user or
application, but may have disastrous consequences on the
entire organization. The recent rapid proliferation of Web-
based applications and information systems have further
increased the risk exposure of databases and, thus, data
protection is today more crucial than ever. It is also
important to appreciate that data needs to be protected
not only from external threats, but also from insider threats ...
Importance of data information policy and regulation in the business
Lack of awareness of the potential risks related to data security and privacy incidents.
Lack of sincere efforts from organization in educating employees on data privacy and security issues.
No robust framework in place on sharing information in a cross-border situation and its implication
No effective policy for preventing the leaking or stealing of information
Privacy frameworks relying on individuals “notice and consent” are neither sustainable and nor desirable due to the burden they place on individuals
Customers are in dark on how their data is being stored and used by the organization. Likewise, they are not aware how their data is being interpreted by the businesses for competitive edge.
Higher education institutions experience more data breaches than any other industry. The document discusses privacy and security laws and regulations that apply to higher education such as FERPA, GLB, and state privacy laws. It provides recommendations for developing a comprehensive privacy program including inventorying information assets, assessing risks, reviewing policies, training employees, and monitoring compliance.
Addressing the EU GDPR & New York Cybersecurity Requirements: 3 Keys to SuccessSirius
The EU Global Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and New York State Cybersecurity Requirements for Financial Services Companies (23 NYCRR 500) represent a landmark change in the global data protection space. While they originate in different countries and apply to different organizations, their primary message is the same:
Protect your data, or pay a steep price. More specifically, protect the sensitive data you collect from customers.
With deadlines looming, is your organization ready?
The time to act is now. Read more to learn:
--Key mandates and minimum requirements for compliance
--Why a comprehensive data-centric security strategy is invaluable to all data protection and data privacy efforts
--How you can gauge your organization’s incident response capabilities
--How to extend your focus beyond the organization’s figurative four walls to ensure requirements are met throughout your supply chain
The first New York requirements deadline has arrived. With the next deadline of mandates only 6 months away, you don't want to fall behind and leave your organization at risk for potential penalties and fines.

Did you know that drowning is a leading cause of unintentional death among young children? According to recent data, children aged 1-4 years are at the highest risk. Let's raise awareness and take steps to prevent these tragic incidents. Supervision, barriers around pools, and learning CPR can make a difference. Stay safe this summer!
Build applications with generative AI on Google CloudMárton Kodok
We will explore Vertex AI - Model Garden powered experiences, we are going to learn more about the integration of these generative AI APIs. We are going to see in action what the Gemini family of generative models are for developers to build and deploy AI-driven applications. Vertex AI includes a suite of foundation models, these are referred to as the PaLM and Gemini family of generative ai models, and they come in different versions. We are going to cover how to use via API to: - execute prompts in text and chat - cover multimodal use cases with image prompts. - finetune and distill to improve knowledge domains - run function calls with foundation models to optimize them for specific tasks. At the end of the session, developers will understand how to innovate with generative AI and develop apps using the generative ai industry trends.

Open Source Contributions to Postgres: The Basics POSETTE 2024ElizabethGarrettChri
Postgres is the most advanced open-source database in the world and it's supported by a community, not a single company. So how does this work? How does code actually get into Postgres? I recently had a patch submitted and committed and I want to share what I learned in that process. I’ll give you an overview of Postgres versions and how the underlying project codebase functions. I’ll also show you the process for submitting a patch and getting that tested and committed.

Tech Talk: Unstructured Data and Vector Databases
Speaker: Tim Spann (Zilliz)
Abstract: In this session, I will discuss the unstructured data and the world of vector databases, we will see how they different from traditional databases. In which cases you need one and in which you probably don’t. I will also go over Similarity Search, where do you get vectors from and an example of a Vector Database Architecture. Wrapping up with an overview of Milvus.
Introduction
Unstructured data, vector databases, traditional databases, similarity search
Vectors
Where, What, How, Why Vectors? We’ll cover a Vector Database Architecture
Introducing Milvus
What drives Milvus' Emergence as the most widely adopted vector database
Hi Unstructured Data Friends!
