Office 365 incident Response: BSides Vancouver 2018Alex Parsons
As adoption for Office 365 increases, so will security incidents that involve Office 365. Despite the high adoption rates across industries, most companies still lack the ability to enforce proper security controls and they also lack the knowledge to respond to incidents quickly and effectively.
In this presentation, we will focus on attacker patterns in O365 environments, how to collect the data you need during an incident, and how to respond to common requests and questions, especially during phishing related cases. We will also look into some of the advanced security features Office 365 has to offer and when it would make sense to invest in them.

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.
