Keep Your Guard: Stay Compliant and Be SecureTripwire
NERC CIPv6’s deadline has come and gone and yet there are many organizations still struggling to stay compliant. While maintaining continuous compliance is a daunting task, compliance does not equal security. Assuring your environment is not compromised with a security breach that brings critical infrastructure down is a top priority. Over 295 incidents on Industrial Control Systems (ICS) were cited in 2015 (ICS-CERT) and most were in energy and manufacturing sectors.

Tripwire has released results from an extensive study focused on the state of risk-based security management with the Ponemon Institute.
The study examined the disconnect between an organizations commitments to risk-based security management and its ability to develop the collaboration, communication styles and culture necessary for effective security programs across the organization.
The study respondents included 749 U.S. and 571 U.K. professionals in the following areas: IT security, IT operations, IT risk management, business operations, compliance/internal audit and enterprise risk management.
“Risk-based security is an extremely complex problem where predictability and outcomes are constantly changing,” said Dr. Larry Ponemon, chairman and founder of the Ponemon Institute.
“This means that even the most secure and sophisticated organizations experience risk because there are too many variables in play. Effective communication and collaboration across the organization are crucial in mitigating this risk.”

Why Patch Management is Still the Best First Line of DefenseLumension
Today more than 2 million malware signatures are identified each month and traditional anti-virus defenses simply can’t keep up. Even the major anti-virus vendors have concluded that stand-alone anti-virus no longer provides an effective defense and that additional layers of security technology are needed to address the rising volume and sophistication of threats. View this presentation to learn:
• Why you can’t forget about older vulnerabilities
• How to reduce exposure from both OS and 3rd party application vulnerabilities
• The challenges with reliance upon “free” patching tools and native updaters
• Why you should consider patch management as the core of an effective depth-in-defense endpoint security approach
My presentation at 7th Business Security Conference in Warsaw. Describes ON Semiconductor approach to implement Physical Security Management system globally.
Almost every business decision requires executives and managers to balance risk and reward, and efficiency in that process is essential to an enterprise’s success. Too often though, IT risk (business risk related to the use of IT) is overlooked.
While other business risks such as market, credit and operational risks have long been incorporated into the decision-making processes, IT risk has usually been relegated to technical specialists outside the boardroom, despite falling under the same risk category as other business risks: failure to achieve strategic objectives.
This session intends to address business risks related to the use of IT, looking at industry standards, frameworks and best practices, as well as focusing on real world examples and specific plans on how to implement IT Risk Management on every level of your company.

Cybersecurity for Energy: Moving Beyond ComplianceEnergySec
Presented by: Gib Sorebo, SAIC
Abstract: For the last few years, energy companies, particularly electric utilities, have been scrambling to meet the onslaught of cybersecurity regulations. However, hackers don’t follow regulations, so the need to rapidly address evolving threats is imperative to meet expectations of senior leadership, board members, and shareholders. This session will discuss how a mature governance structure and a cybersecurity strategy based on a comprehensive understanding of business risk can be used to address threats, comply with regulations, and obtain support from company stakeholders.
This session provides some insights on the importance of end-to-end security for the adoption, development, and scalability of IoT solutions. The session also gives light on the trade-offs companies need to make in order to build a secure IoT platform, while ensuring the necessary levels of innovation and agile developments are in place. The session then closes by showing how the AWS Cloud can support systems integrators and businesses in achieving the desired security posture.
Infrastructure Testing: The Ultimate “Shift Left”TechWell
Organizations worldwide are continually required to make significant investments in upgrading, re-engineering, and protecting their IT infrastructure. However, unlike application software development, many companies lack a structured quality assurance approach for infrastructure testing. Creating an infrastructure quality practice is an answer, but it's not without its challenges. However, if your company is interested in avoiding headline-grabbing outages, rooted in deployment problems with infrastructure—server, network, storage, middleware, telephony, hardware, IT security, cloud, virtual, and Data Center Ops—then come to this session. Carl Delmolino and Hitesh Patel explain how to identify and address infrastructure testing opportunities, how to build a diversely skilled infrastructure test team, and how to apply familiar SDLC testing process rigor to enterprise-level infrastructure change. When addressed effectively, infrastructure testing is risk mitigation at the far end of “left,” reduces organizational technical risk, and helps ensure higher system availability for employees and customers, alike.
The security practitioner's role is changing significantly. Trends like mobile, cloud, DevOps, and Zero Trust are creating new roles and erasing others. This presentation navigates these changes and makes some recommendations for folks wanting to keep up with the curve.
ICS Cybersecurity: How to Protect the Proprietary Cyber Assets That Hackers C...EnergySec
Presenter: David Zahn, PAS
Industrial control systems represent the brass ring for hackers who want to disrupt plant operations and negatively impact safety and productivity. The problem for cybersecurity professionals is that plants have highly vulnerable proprietary control systems where configuration data is not visible via standard WMI or SNMP calls. Yet, it is this same configuration data, such as I/O cards, firmware, installed software, and more, that hackers work hard to attain as it aids them in gaining control over industrial systems within plants.
As the saying goes, “you can’t manage what you can’t measure.” Taking inventory of this hidden configuration data and doing so for all control assets is difficult. Plants as a result fall short of achieving centralized, automated inventory – a cybersecurity best practice and a necessary precursor to effective change management. So how do you address change management when important security data is kept locked within each vendor’s distributed control systems, programmable logic controllers, and remote terminal units?
In this session, we’ll explore the types of inventory data that comprise a best practices cyber security plan. Next, we will dive into cost effective, accurate automation opportunities for inventory discovery and maintenance of heterogeneous proprietary and non-proprietary control assets. Finally, we’ll present a case study for implementing best practices for hardening ICS cyber security and automating management of change.

Key Challenges Facing IT/OT: Hear From The ExpertsTripwire
When you think of Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT), which side are you on? You may not feel that you fall on any side of that technological skirmish, but when you stop to carefully consider the differences in these two disciplines, it is nearly impossible to avoid a tendentious leaning.
However, the time may be upon us when the conflicts of IT and OT will be put to rest for the broader purpose of making businesses more agile, efficient, resilient and ultimately, more profitable. We spoke with experts in the field who offered their insights about the challenges facing IT and OT convergence. Here’s what they shared!
As online sales surge, retail cybersecurity professionals are taking additional precautions to protect their organizations and their customers’ data.

Defend Your Data Now with the MITRE ATT&CK FrameworkTripwire
MITRE is a not-for-profit organization that operates federally-funded research and development centers. Their ATT&CK framework is a useful cybersecurity model illustrating how adversaries behave and explaining the tactics you should use to mitigate risk and improve security. ATT&CK stands for “adversarial tactics, techniques and common knowledge.”
This presentation explores a methodology for pairing proven industry frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK with threat modeling practices to quickly detect and respond to cyber threats. With this approach, industrial organizations can slice their infrastructure into smaller components, making it easier to secure their assets and minimize the attack surface.
Takeaways include how to:
-Make the most out of their threat intelligence feeds
-Report on progress and compliance
-Negotiate trust relationships in the intelligence sharing cycle
-Improve their organization’s overall security posture
Defending Critical Infrastructure Against Cyber AttacksTripwire
In our increasingly connected world, networks of machines help critical infrastructure run more efficiently and prevent downtime. However, systems which were once isolated are now being exposed to digital security threats that operators never considered.
Joseph Blankenship of Forrester Research and Gabe Authier of Tripwire discuss the evolving threat landscape and how we can protect these critical assets from cyber threats.
Topics covered include:
-Examples of some of the most recent cyber-attacks to critical infrastructure
-Why traditional IT security approaches won't work
-Recommended approaches for securing critical infrastructure
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.
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.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
