SCIT-MTD is a patented technique that provides continuous rotation of virtual machines to a pristine state in order to remove malware and limit the time intruders have to exploit systems. It uses virtualization and fast VM rotation times of less than a minute to dynamically change systems into moving targets. This makes it difficult for attackers to gain access and plan attacks before being removed from the system. SCIT-MTD can be implemented without changes to existing systems and improves security even without knowing the details of vulnerabilities or malware.
Estimating the principal of Technical Debt - Dr. Bill Curtis - WTD '12OnTechnicalDebt
This study summarizes results of a study of Technical Debt across 745 business applications comprising 365 million lines of code collected from 160 companies in 10 industry segments. These applications were submitted to a static analysis that evaluates quality within and across application layers that may be coded in different languages. The analysis consists of evaluating the application against a repository of over 1200 rules of good architectural and coding practice. A formula for estimating Technical Debt with adjustable parameters is presented. Results are presented for Technical Debt across the entire sample as well as for different programming languages and quality factors.

The Smart Approach To Pci DSS Compliance – Braintree White PaperBen Rothke
The document discusses Braintree's outsourced approach to PCI DSS compliance which allows merchants to eliminate handling credit card data and remotely store it in a PCI compliant facility. This dramatically reduces the controls merchants need from over 200 to under 20 and the time to compliance from 6-18 months to 1-3 months. An example cost comparison shows the Braintree solution would save a merchant over $300,000 compared to an in-house approach. Outsourcing with Braintree provides security, flexibility, and significant cost savings compared to attempting PCI compliance on your own.

The document concludes that PCI DSS alignment with security best practices will continue and organizations should focus on risk mitigation and maintaining compliance.
A detailed analysis on the Security Standard goals and requirements. Examples of companies that failed to comply, with emphasis on which part of the security standards they violated and the fines that resulted as a result of their non-compliance.
- PCI DSS v4.0 is still in draft form and will not be published until 2021 or required for 2 years after publication.
- The draft focuses on strengthening security and adding flexibility while keeping the 12 core requirements.
- New requirements address evolving risks like expanding card encryption and enhancing security awareness training.
- Implementation options include a defined or customized approach, removing compensating controls requirements.
Analysis of Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard [PCI DSS] Compliance...IJERA Editor
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) aims to enhance the security of cardholder data and is required when cardholder data or authentication data are stored, processed or transmitted. The implementation of enabling processes from COBIT 5 can complement compliance to PCI DSS. COBIT 5 assists enterprises in governance and management of enterprise IT and, at the same time, supports the need to meet security requirements with supporting processes and management activities. This paper provides analysis of mapping of COBIT 5 supporting processes to PCI DSS 3.0 security requirements. It also presents domains which support the simultaneous application of COBIT 5 and PCI DSS 3.0 which would help create collaborations within the enterprise
PCI Descoping: How to Reduce Controls and Streamline ComplianceTokenEx
Descoping a data environment by decreasing the amount of PCI traversing it is one of the simplest and most effective ways of complying with the PCI DSS. By outsourcing the handling of sensitive payment information to security experts, organizations can reduce compliance and operational costs while minimizing the risk and liability associated with a potential data breach. Tokenization is especially effective at this due to its ability to remove sensitive data from an environment and store it in a secure, cloud-based token vault.
In this deck you will learn:
PCI controls for organizations that handle card information
Which controls can be removed from scope
How cloud-based tokenization outsources PCI compliance to a tokenization provider
Additional strategies and best practices for achieving PCI compliance
The emerging pci dss and nist standardsUlf Mattsson
PCI DSS and NIST standards are evolving to address modern payment environments and security risks. A draft of PCI DSS v4.0 proposes new requirements around scope validation, encryption of cardholder data transmissions, security awareness training, and risk assessments. It also offers a customized validation approach with more flexibility in how organizations meet requirements. Major changes in v4.0 focus on strengthening security, adding flexibility, and supporting new payment technologies and cloud environments.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on BlockchainClaudio Di Ciccio
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.
