Information Rights Management is the set of techniques and methods which protect the highly sensitive information of the organization irrespective of the file location whether it resides "in" or "outside" the corporate boundaries. This happens as the permissions embedded inside the file don't allow unauthorized access, modification, copying or printing. This is typically done for protection of financial documents, intellectual property such as patents, design blueprints and executive communications.

CIS 2015-Rationing Identity in the Internet of Things- Steve WilsonCloudIDSummit
The usual response to identity problems like fraud has been to pile on more identity. On the Internet now we have too much identity! Too much identifiable data seeps out of everything we do online. But in the Internet of Things, Personal Information may pour from everything we do, period. Do we need every new appliance to have its own privacy policy? It depends on whether networked devices are working for their buyers or their vendors. Here we’ll look at how smart devices are smart enough to control data flows and protect their users’ identity and privacy.

El Plan Andinia antes de la destrucción de Israel
“La Patagonia silo nuclear. Chile y Suecia establecen una valija diplomática camino de Israel. Pronto comenzarán las primeras emigraciones de judíos a la Patagonia”.
“Obama en la Patagonia”
284.000 judíos británicos y 20.000 de Suecia, listos para ir a vivir a la Patagonia chilena y argentina. España (su seguridad también será con agentes israelíes infiltrados en las policías catalana y vasca), EEUU y Azerbaiján, también serán destinos alternativos para judíos.
20 de mayo de 2016
La Patagonia silo nuclear. Chile y Suecia establecen una valija diplomática camino de Israel. Pronto comenzarán las primeras emigraciones de judíos a la Patagonia desde Suecia, Inglaterra e Israel.
El pasado miércoles, 11 de mayo 2016, Michelle Bachelet presidenta de Chile visitaba Suecia para llegar a múltiples acuerdos, pero es quizás el más estratégico el que no se menciona: una valija diplomática con escala en Paris, rumbo a Estocolmo y de ahí a Tel Aviv.
Ahora vienen todas las preguntas y las respuestas:
¿Por qué de esta operación diplomática?:
Habría que hablar más bien de una operación de inteligencia civil antimilitar en Chile. Y porque la Patagonia va a acoger al primer grupo de 20.000 judíos suecos que han comenzado a huir de la ciudad de Malmo por los musulmanes. A cambio el gobierno judeo masónico sueco va a dar a Chile tecnología y transportes. Bachelet también ha visitado Inglaterra para acoger una emigración de 284.000 judíos residentes en Inglaterra que irán a kibutzs en construcción en la Patagonia. Pues la mayoría de los judíos británicos sienten que no tienen futuro en el Reino Unido.
Suecia ya fue valija diplomática con Suecia durante la dictadura del General Pinochet, y todos los documentos que conocemos, desde películas, escritos, documentos, visas y pasaportes, y hasta esculturas, se llegaron a conocer gracias a la valija diplomática con Suecia.

The explosive growth in the popularity of mobile devices and growth in their powerful features has led to a sharp rise in the usage of smartphones, tablets and mobile POS devices in the corporate world. Apart from the mobility advantage, these devices have become more efficient to offer better business growth and increased networking advantage to bring better employee productivity at the workplace. As the market for these devices continues to develop at an exponential rate, concerns about the safety of the sensitive corporate data present on mobile device, in transit or at rest also grow proportionately as the tracking the data, relying on its integrity becomes increasingly challenging. Further enforcing corporate governance, complying with local laws and trans-border regulations also pose a serious challenge in this case. Hence a technical method to secure, monitor, manage and supports mobile devices deployed across mobile operators, service providers and enterprises is need of the hour which has led to the development of Mobile Device Management(MDM).
Top Cyber Security Interview Questions and Answers 2022.pdfCareerera
Cyber security positions have considerably taken the top list in the job market. Candidates vying for elite positions in the field of cyber security certainly need a clear-cut and detailed guide to channeling their preparation for smooth career growth, beginning with getting a job. We have curated the top cyber security interview questions that will help candidates focus on the key areas. We have classified the regularly asked cyber security interview questions here, in this article into different levels starting from basic general questions to advanced technical ones.
Before we move on to the top cyber security interview questions, it is critical to reflect on the vitality of cyber security in our modern times and how cyber security professionals are catering to the needs of securing a safe cyber ecosystem.
The times we live in is defined by the digital transition, in which the internet, electronic devices, and computers have become an integral part of our daily life. Institutions that serve our daily needs, such as banks and hospitals, now rely on internet-connected equipment to give the best possible service. A portion of their data, such as financial and personal information, has become vulnerable to illegal access, posing serious risks. Intruders utilize this information to carry out immoral and criminal goals.
Cyber-attacks have jeopardized the computer system and its arrangements, which has now become a global concern. To safeguard data from security breaches, a comprehensive cyber security policy is needed now more than ever. The rising frequency of cyber-attacks has compelled corporations and organizations working with national security and sensitive data to implement stringent security procedures and restrictions.
Computers, mobile devices, servers, data, electronic systems, networks, and other systems connected to the internet must be protected from harmful attacks. Cybersecurity, which is a combination of the words "cyber" and "security," provides this protection. 'Cyber' imbibes the vast-ranging technology with systems, networks, programs, and data in the aforementioned procedure. The phrase "security" refers to the process of protecting data, networks, applications, and systems. In a nutshell,
cyber security is a combination of principles and approaches that assist prevent unwanted access to data, networks, programs, and devices by meeting the security needs of technological resources (computer-based) and online databases.

As more business activities are being automated and an increasing number of computers are being used to store sensitive information, the need for secure computer systems becomes more apparent. This need is even more apparent as systems and applications are being distributed and accessed via an insecure network, such as the internet. The internet itself has become critical for governments, companies, financial institutions, and millions of everyday users. Networks of computers support a multitude of activities whose loss would all cripple these organizations. As a consequences Cyber Security issues have become national security issues. Protecting the internet is a very difficult task. Cyber Security can be obtained only through systematic development. P. H. Gopi Kannan | A. Karthik | M.

Information System Security Policy Studies as a Form of Company Privacy Prote...Editor IJCATR
Technology that interconnects computers in the world allows to be able to exchange information and data even communicate with each other in the form of images and video. The more valuable the information is required a security standard to maintain the information. Computer security target, among others, is as protection of information. The higher the security standards provided the higher the privacy protection of the information. Protection of employee privacy within a company is one factor that must be considered in the information systems implementation. Information system security policies include: System maintenance, risk handling, access rights settings and human resources, security and control of information assets, enterprise server security policy and password policy. The policies that have been reviewed, be a form of protection of corporate information

ISO 27004 provides guidance and describes a set of best practices for measuring the result of ISMS in an organization. The standard specifies how to set up a measurement program, what parameters to measure, when to measure, how to measure and helps organizations to decide on how to set performance targets and success criteria.
The RBI constituted the Working Group on Information Security, Electronic Banking, Technology Risk Management and Cyber Frauds, which produced its report in January 2011. The Working Group was headed by Mr. G. Gopalakrishna and is popularly known as the Gopalakrishna Committee Report. The presentation below highlights some of the salient points, with special emphasis on Chapters 1 (IT Governance), 3 (IT Operations) and 4 (IT Outsourcing). The original report is available here http://rbidocs.rbi.org.in/rdocs/PublicationReport/Pdfs/WREB210111.pdf. Our analysis of this is available here http://www.niiconsulting.com/innovation/RBI%20Guidelines_Summary.pdf.

“Understanding PCI DSS and PA DSS is crucial to the role of a penetration tester. Quoting the relevant PCI-DSS or PA-DSS control reference for your findings would help demonstrate the proper risk arising from common security findings such as support of older SSL versions, weak encryption when storing cardholder data, lack of proper logs from the application, and of course the entire gamut of web application security bugs”.
Spear phishing is an e-mail spoofing fraud attempt that targeting an organization to glean out confidential data and gain unauthorized access to organization's confidential data or internal network. Attacker may be motivated to carry confidential internal information to seek out financial gain, trade secrets or proprietary information.
The emails sent to internal employees in spear phishing attempt appear to originate from a high ranking authoritative source positioned in the company. It is purposefully done so that very few people will question the intent regarding this request and readily provide the "supposed authority" with the requested details.
What does IT Act 2000 legislation deals with? The Act essentially deals with the following issues: Legal Recognition of Electronic Documents, Legal Recognition of Digital Signatures, Offenses and Contraventions, Justice Dispensation Systems for cyber crimes.
A Distributed Denial-of-Service attack (DDoS attack) is an attempt to make a machine or network resource unavailable to its intended users by using multiple hosts attempting to connect simultaneously to the victim machine. It generally consists of the efforts of one or more people to temporarily or indefinitely interrupt or suspend services of a host connected to the Internet. Attackers typically target sites of high-profile web servers such as banks, credit card payment gateways, and even root name servers.
Data Leakage is an important concern for the business organizations in this increasingly networked world these days. Unauthorized disclosure may have serious consequences for an organization in both long term and short term. Risks include losing clients and stakeholder confidence, tarnishing of brand image, landing in unwanted lawsuits, and overall losing goodwill and market share in the industry.
Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) are a serious concern as they represent a threat to an organization’s intellectual property, financial assets and reputation. In some cases, these threats target critical infrastructure and government institutions, thereby threatening the country’s national security itself.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).

[IRM]
1. I NTRODUCTION
Information Rights Management is the set of techniques and methods which protect the
highly sensitive information of the organization irrespective of the file location whether
it resides "in" or "outside" the corporate boundaries. This happens as the permissions
embedded inside the file don't allow unauthorized access, modification, copying or
printing. This is typically done for protection of financial documents, intellectual
property such as patents, design blueprints and executive communications.
IRM[4] broadly speaking addresses the fundamental problem associated with Data
Protection Leakage (DLP). DLP heavily relies on protection of sensitive file within the
corporate network typically at its end points. It protects the data based on its location
(directory, file server/ database) or in data in transit, but doesn't give the protection at
a more granular level, i.e. information contained in file itself. IRM currently applies
mainly to documents and emails in typical corporate environment setting.
While DLP is “transmission control” technology, IRM is “usage control” technology.
2. W HY DO WE NEED IRM?
The rationale for using IRM is that the privacy information associated with data must
travel along with it. The copying of that data must not lose the associated rights to that
information. Rights to modify, update, restrict or even destroy that information must be
retained by the individual it pertains to, even when a 3rd party holds that information.
In larger context, IRM helps organizations in enforcing corporate policy governing the
secure flow of highly sensitive data in the organization. File protections are defined and
enforced based on user's identity along with corporate policy on a given class of data.
The best way to protect information is to do it directly at the level of the information –
and not at the level of many system(s) which might change, transport or store the
information.

3. W HAT EXACTLY CAN BE ACHIEV ED WITH IRM? [1]
Preventing restricted content from unauthorized modification, copying, printing
or pasting
Disabling Print Screen feature in Microsoft Windows for taking snapshots of
restricted content.
Restricting content exposure wherever it is sent
Support file expiration so that contents in documents are rendered un-viewable
(or viewable) automatically after a set time.
Full auditing of both access to documents as well as changes to the rights/policy
by business users
4. W HAT CAN ' T BE PREVENTED USING IRM?
Sensitive Content from being erased, stolen, captured or transmitted by

5. A RE D IGITAL R IGHTS M ANAGEMENT (DRM) AND IRM
SAME THINGS ?
Not Really. Digital Rights management (DRM)[2] technologies are typically used by
hardware manufacturers, publishers, copyright holders and individuals with the intent
to limit the use of digital content and devices "after sale". It is specifically targeted to
defeat any attempts for rich media piracy like Blu-ray, CD, DVD's, tapes, records. In
United States, a legal mandate called Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) exists
which imposes criminal penalties on those who make available technologies whose
primary agenda is to bypass content protection technologies.
Main focus of DRM is to defeat copyright infringement by putting "digital locks" to rich
media eg. records, CD, DVD's etc in business to customer domain, while IRM restricts
itself to sensitive information exchange in business to business domain such as merger-
acquisition plans, design blueprints, patents, financial statements, strategic business
plans etc.

6. K EY FOR IRM’ S SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION [5]
The strength of IRM is typically reserved for very sensitive information that travels
outside organization — to vendors, suppliers, outsourced parties, partners etc. But
challenges for proper authentication are quite complex outside the enterprise. Hence,
following approaches must be used for effective implantation of IRM enterprise based
solutions:
a. Automating policy assignment
More automated is policy assignment, better is IRM implementation. This happens as
automation eliminates human errors resident in manual processes which in turn make
it more effective. They can automatically protect documents such as price lists, product
specifications, and manufacturing process description. This works effectively because if
we let document authors be the sole arbiter of what to protect, it puts an unwelcome
burden on them. They may neglect to do it correctly, consistently, or at all.
Organizations can automatically assign policies to entire information groups such as
anything saved to a certain folder, content of a certain type, or information that has
reached a particular stage in a workflow. This saves time, ensures consistency, and is
the most efficient way to manage large volumes of sensitive information with IRM.
b. Dynamic policy control
As business conditions evolve, IRM policies that govern the use of content must evolve
as well. Regulatory changes will almost always require modifications to information
policies such as patent expirations, litigation settlements, mergers and acquisitions etc.
Dynamic policy control enables recipient entitlements to be changed when individual
roles or business needs change, regardless of where the content resides—even when its
location is unknown. Policies reside on a policy server, not within the content. So they
can be changed or revoked at any time. Rights can also be set to automatically expire.
c. Discretionary policy application
In the enterprise, discretionary use of IRM is an option that should be used in addition
to rather instead of automated policy application.
d. Audit Trail
An audit trail is an unalterable, chronological log of access to a system and a record of
additions, changes, and deletions to information that system manages, which lists the
person accessing the system, and the time of access, and the action taken.

7. S TEPS BEFORE IMPLEMENTING IRM [6]
So you are all rolled up to implement IRM solution in your company. But before that,
answer this quick checklist:
Outline business areas where sensitive information is frequently exchanged?
What needs to be protected (documents, email etc.)
How will security policies be enforced to protect this sensitive information or
communication?
Who can use the information (people, group)
What a user can do with that information (read, write, print or forward)
When can the user access the information (time duration and dates)
Where can the information be accessed from (in office, home,)
What would be the consequences to the business if this information ended up in
the wrong hands?
Does the organization retain any employee, customer, or member information
that could be used in identity theft if it were exposed, either through loss or
theft.

9. C HALLENGES IN IRM IMPLEMENTATION
a. Lack of commitment by senior management
The biggest roadblock in IRM successful implementation is the inadequate commitment
shown by senior management. Management has to be convinced and made aware the
value of information in the business. Consequences of losing sensitive information must
be highlighted such as unwanted loss in brand image and reputation, losing client and
stakeholder confidence. Unpleasant lawsuits may proceed if the leakage of sensitive
information is made public.
Common mistake made by senior managers during implementation is that they delegate
the entire part of IRM implementation to the IT team and not take much responsibility
for it. It is important to note that IRM must be top driven from senior management
which only can bring about a cultural change in the organization. Without their support,
implementation at the best stays patchy and disorganized.
b. User Unwillingness to change
IRM’s restrictive nature and perceived usage hassles may at first not easily gel with
users. Users must be made to undergo a mandatory training and awareness workshop
to help ease through this process. Suggested methodology can be summarized as:
Methodology for managers to inducing change in users:
Unfreezing: This step alters the forces on individuals sufficiently such that they
are distracted to opt for a change. It reduces the user resistance due to increased
peer pressure to induce them to go for a change.
Moving: This step presents direction of the change and the actual practice of
learning new attitudes.
Refreezing: The final step forges the changed attitudes and learned skills in users.
A good practice will be to train some of the people in the organization and nurture them
as champions in usage of IRM. It will be better if at least one person from every
department is included as a part of the IRM implementation task force. This task force
will work in close cooperation with vendors/security team during implementation
process.
After the official implementation is over, these champions will provide the first point of
reference and support for any issues arising in DLP to new users. Hence, user
satisfaction increases and consequently resistance to adopt new technology is lowered
down.

c. Miscellaneous Factors [ 5 ]
External User Authentication for partners, vendors, suppliers, outsourced
parties, must be strong enough and well formed. Any loose ends will damage the
confidentiality of the information.
Most IRM's like Microsoft’s Windows Rights Management Services are great for
Windows and Office. But they are mainly for Microsoft apps. For apps like in CAD
or blueprints, other solutions are either from small vendors or very limited in
scope.
