As presented at this year's RSA Conference, a 2016 survey of critical infrastructure companies and officials demonstrates that this scenario could be reality. Jay and Julia will take you through the spine-chilling specifics of why the nation's critical infrastructure is at an ever increased risk of cyber attacks as hackers make them their prime target.
Embracing Threat Intelligence and Finding ROI in Your DecisionCylance
Threat intelligence has long existed but is now recognized as a distinct discipline. Tradecraft and technology in threat intelligence are rapidly maturing, along with industry expectations. Choosing how to invest in threat intelligence programs should be driven by business risk, though any organization can be targeted. Providing context increases the value of threat intelligence, and the strongest programs understand the return on investment of sharing intelligence externally.
A Cylance Compromise Assessment evaluates an organization's security posture to determine if a security breach has occurred or is currently happening. The assessment identifies when, where, and how a compromise took place. Cylance's professional services team uses their expertise combined with Cylance's machine learning technology to quickly uncover compromised machines and prioritize the assessment. The team then delivers a comprehensive report with actionable intelligence for the security team.
The document discusses the need for organizations to have real-time, actionable intelligence to prevent cyber attacks and security breaches. Without adequate threat intelligence, a business can suffer losses from financial data and customer data theft, compliance penalties, lost revenue and customer confidence. The document cites statistics showing that the majority of organizations have outdated tools for threat detection and are often unaware of attacks until notified by external parties. It promotes the benefits of advanced security analytics and machine learning for rapidly detecting, analyzing and responding to threats.
To build an effective security operations center (SOC), you must first understand what type of SOC you need by considering its capabilities, organization, staffing hours, and environment. Key planning areas include defining hours of availability, whether to use an MSSP, priority capabilities, and the technology environment. Budget and technology are also important to consider, but only after establishing goals. An effective SOC requires the right mix of processes, people, and technologies tailored to your organization's unique needs.

Cyber Risks & Liabilities - Cyber Security for Small Businessesntoscano50
High-profile cyber attacks on companies such as Target and Sears have raised awareness of the growing threat of cybercrime. Recent surveys conducted by the Small Business Authority, Symantec, Kaspersky Lab and the National Cybersecurity Alliance suggest that many small business owners are still operating under a false sense of cyber security.
The statistics of these studies are grim; the vast majority of U.S. small businesses lack a formal Internet security policy for employees, and only about half have even rudimentary cybersecurity measures in place. Furthermore, only about a quarter of small business owners have had an outside party test their computer systems to ensure they are hacker proof, and nearly 40 percent do not have their data backed up in more than one location.
Those in the know understand that security orchestration and its benefits stretch much further than simple security automation to bring together the various tools and techniques used by security operations. Yes, it’s easy to see why security orchestration and automation are used in the same breath – they certainly go together. And really, would you want one without the other?

The document discusses various measures that companies can take to avoid cyber attacks. It recommends that companies train employees on cybersecurity awareness, keep systems fully updated to patch vulnerabilities, implement zero trust and SSL inspection for security, examine permissions of frequently used apps, create mobile device management plans, use passwordless authentication and behavior monitoring, regularly audit networks to detect threats, develop strong data governance, automate security practices, and have an incident response plan in place. Taking a proactive approach to cybersecurity through multiple defensive strategies is crucial for businesses of all sizes to protect against increasing cyber attacks.
Why IT Systems Need to Conduct IT System Penetration Tests - Chris Gatford, N...IT Network marcus evans
The document summarizes an interview with Chris Gatford, Managing Director of HackLabs Pty Limited, about why penetration tests are important for organizations. Gatford advises that while companies perform vulnerability tests, CIOs must also conduct penetration tests to simulate an actual attack without risk. A penetration test exploits vulnerabilities to determine actual exposure, allowing CIOs to see what happens during an attack in a safe way and address issues. Gatford also notes that penetration tests require skilled practitioners to think like hackers to comprehensively compromise systems in a way automated tools cannot.
Optimizing Security Operations: 5 Keys to SuccessSirius
Organizations are suffering from cyber fatigue, with too many alerts, too many technologies, and not enough people. Many security operations center (SOC) teams are underskilled and overworked, making it extremely difficult to streamline operations and decrease the time it takes to detect and remediate security incidents.
Addressing these challenges requires a shift in the tactics and strategies deployed in SOCs. But building an effective SOC is hard; many companies struggle first with implementation and then with figuring out how to take their security operations to the next level.

The steps ought to have been taken in detecting Industrial Espionage Alleged by David Doe
David Doe was a network administrator for the ABC company. The ABC company ought to have taken various steps in detecting Industrial Espionage alleged by
David Doe. First, it should evaluate threat and risk data as well as log data from numerous sources, intending to acquire information about security that would
enhance instant response to security incidents. The manager should be in place to detect any warning signal. An instance is when David is unhappy since he is
passed over for promotion three times. The vital warning signs that a representative may have incorporates bringing home materials having a place with the
organization, being keen on things outside their duties, mainly that are related to the contender of the organization. However, David is alleged to have duplicated the
company’s research after quitting the company and starting his own consulting business (Ho & Hollister, J2015) To predict risks in the network traffic, and dangerous
malware, the company should install signature and behavior-based detection devices. Advanced Cyber Intrusion Detection enhance this. To enable immediate
response as soon as the alerts of faults, attacks, or misuse indications, there should be a correlation, analysis, and collection of server clients’ logs. For the
integrity of local systems, it is essential to ensure regular checks. It was necessary for intrusion finding (Jin & van Dijk, 2018). This involves an outline of possible
security liabilities in software and operating systems applications. Us ...

The survey found that:
- 82% of organizations experienced at least one online attack or threat in the last year, with the average company experiencing three types.
- While ransomware was less common, it had the highest severity of impact. Browser vulnerabilities were identified as the biggest challenge to endpoint security.
- The most common impacts of attacks were increased help desk workload and reduced employee productivity. Most organizations now use multiple endpoint security solutions due to the ineffectiveness of traditional antivirus against advanced malware.
How to Mitigate Risk From Your Expanding Digital PresenceSurfWatch Labs
The digital presence of organizations continues to expand, and with that expansion comes greater exposure to digital risks. Visibility into those risks is critical in order to effectively manage that risk.
Complicate, detect, respond: stopping cyber attacks with identity analyticsCA Technologies
Corporate boards and audit committees are taking a greater interest in cybersecurity and plans to mitigate related risks. Headline-grabbing data breaches are prevalent. Shareholders and oversight bodies are concerned about the potential impact to their organizations’ financial well-being and reputation.
Today, cyber adversaries are well-organized and well-funded, and they are more able to enter commercial and governmental organizations than ever before. No company has the capability and capacity to prevent all attacks. The only way to operate securely is to assume a breach has occurred, is occurring and will occur. This requires “complicate, detect and respond” mindset when developing and automating controls.

The Small Business Cyber Security Best Practice GuideInspiring Women
Cyber security is a big problem for small business.
Small business is the target of 43% of all
cybercrimes.
• 60% of small businesses who experience a
significant cyber breach go out of business within the
following
6 months.
• 22% of small businesses that were breached by the
2017 Ransomware attacks were so affected they could
not continue operating.
• 33% of businesses with fewer than 100 employees
don’t take proactive measures against cyber security
breaches.
• 87% of small businesses believe their business is
safe from cyberattacks because they use antivirus
software alone.
• Cybercrime costs the Australian economy more than
$1bn annually.
Your Challenge
As the market evolves, capabilities that were once cutting edge become default and new functionality becomes differentiating.
Vendors use a lot of marketing jargon, buzzwords, and statistics to sell their solutions, making objective evaluation rather difficult.
The endpoint protection (EPP) market is overcrowded and fragmented, resulting in information overload and consequently, a difficult vendor assessment.
Disparate product solutions are being bundled into one-off solutions or suites, often resulting in less efficient solutions than the more niche players.
Imminent obsolescence is an issue. Previous EPP solutions have not adapted with the rapidly evolving threat landscape and are no longer relevant, resulting in breaches or vulnerabilities.
Critical Insight
Don’t let vendors and market reports define your endpoint protection needs. Identify the use cases and corresponding feature sets that best align with your risk profile before evaluating the vendor marketspace.
Your security controls are diminishing in value (if they haven’t already). Develop a strategy that accounts for the rapid evolution and imminent obsolescence of your endpoint controls. Plan for future needs when making purchasing decisions today.
Endpoint protection is a matter of defense in depth and risk modelling, there is no silver bullet protection and mitigation solution. As end-client-technology providers release regular product/software updates, security tools will become outdated. Multiyear endpoint protection commitments will leave you playing a constant game of catch up.
Impact and Result
The solution is a holistic internal security assessment that not only identifies, but satisfies, your desired endpoint protection feature set with the corresponding endpoint protection suite and a comprehensive implementation strategy.
Use this blueprint to walk through the steps of selecting and implementing an endpoint protection solution that best aligns with your organizational needs.

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024Vadym Kazulkin
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks. I'll also provide a lot of benchmarking on Lambda functions trying out various deployment package sizes, Lambda memory settings, Java compilation options and HTTP (a)synchronous clients and measure their impact on cold and warm start times.
[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...Jason Yip
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
"$10 thousand per minute of downtime: architecture, queues, streaming and fin...Fwdays

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024Hiroshi SHIBATA
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.
From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMsSease
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.

Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.

8. Common attack methods
Phishing and social engineering
Weak web-based services
Physical
Deep web information gathering
Poor authentication and system controls
11. Cracking the perimeter
Very determined attacker developed a
customised exploit to compromise a perimeter
system, allowing access to the internal network
Unconfirmed, but likely a web-based
vulnerability, allowing full access to the
corporate network
While complete details aren’t available,
reports of physical intrusions into a
company facility support the timeline and
analysis of the breach at Sony
12. Cracking the perimeter
State-sponsored attackers gained a foothold
within the OPMM network via a carefully
targeted phishing email containing an infected
Office document
Not sure how exactly the breach occurred, but
sources indicate that it was state-sponsored
attack by China
13. Defence
Enterprise-level protections have limitations
Interconnected requirements of the digital
economy
Attackers regularly use native tools
New vulnerabilities found daily
Patching large organisations takes time
We’re just not good enough.
14. The CFO
Key player when it comes to the protection of the business
Knows how money is made, where the core assets lie and
what the business simply cannot proceed without
Has knowledge of longer term initiatives and emerging
business opportunities
Can influence culture
15. Security challenges
Identifying value for money when it comes to security
spend can be difficult
Many modern security solutions require multiple FTE to
operate, and only address part of the security problem
Knowing what data to protect as a priority can be difficult
to identify for security teams
16. Security challenges
Too many organisations still pursue tightly scoped security
testing engagements
Effectively planning future security spends requires
foresight of upcoming business changes
Major business changes can attract significant attention
from criminal elements
17. How you can help
Highlight core business processes/services/systems
directly to the CIO/CISO to ensure they attract the lions
share of focus
‘Encouraging’ the CIO/CISO to regularly review IT security
spend against effectiveness will help identify infective or
deprecated systems and services
Helping to ensure spend is even distributed across prevent
and detect puts the business in the best possible position
18. How you can help
Insist on being a key stakeholder for any penetration test
or security assessment
Support the concept of an unscoped testing approach with
appropriate protections
Share plans on critical projects and initiatives as early as
possible
Build a strong relationship with your lead security contact
19. Your business is valuable , and you have things that
attackers want
Spending on cyber security can be justified and should be
measurable – you can help
Supporting a ‘no-rules’ approach to penetration testing
delivers the most value
The focus should be on fast response to an attack, not an
attempt to prevent all possible breaches
