The document provides an overview of information security concepts including definitions of security attributes like confidentiality, integrity and availability. It discusses why security is important for compliance, protecting assets and reputation. The document recommends a layered security approach using best practices and standards like ISO 27002. Key security terms are defined such as threats, damages, risks, and authentication. It emphasizes the importance of managing risks and notes that personnel are often the weakest link for attackers who start with information gathering.
The state of being protected against the unauthorized use of information, especially electronic data, or the measures are taken to achieve this.

Presentation on Cybersecurity and demonstration of security tools, conducted by Vicky Fernandes on 10th September 2019 at Don Bosco Institute of Technology, Mumbai.
Threat intelligence is information that informs enterprise defenders of adversarial elements to stop them.
It is information that is relevant to the organization, has business value, and is actionable.
If you having all data and feeds then data alone isn’t intelligence.

Protection of critical information infrastructureNeha Agarwal
Information Infrastructure is the term usually used to describe the totality of inter-connected computers and networks, and information flowing through them. Certain parts of this Information Infrastructure, could be dedicated for management / control etc of infrastructure providers’ e.g. Power generation, Gas/oil pipelines, or support our economy or national
fabric e.g. Banking / Telecom etc. The contribution of the services supported
by these infrastructures, and more importantly, the impact of any sudden
failure or outage on our National well being or National Security marks them as being Critical.
By extension, information infrastructure supporting the operations of Critical Infrastructure (CI) marks this as Critical Information infrastructure (CII). These Networks operate/monitor and control important Governmental and Societal functions and services including, but not limited to, Power (Generation/transmission/ distribution etc), Telecommunication (mobile/landline/internet etc), Transportation (Air/land/rail/sea etc), Defence etc. These CII are becoming increasingly dependent on their information infrastructure for information management, communication and control functions.
• Introduction to information security.
What is information security, threat, risks, vulnerabilities, basic terms and definition?
• Building blocks of information security strategy, policies and standards.
Identify and establish country wide information security strategy, establish policies standards and procedures, implementation of different types of control objectives: managerial, technologies, business processes. Introduction to main domains of information security management system depending on international information security standard (ISO 2700x).
• Actions, roles and responsibilities.
What kind of actions is needed for information security risk treatment. Roles and responsibilities of information security professionals.

What is Information Security and why you should care ...James Mulhern
An interactive introduction to Information Security and Cyber Security for BTEC students studying IT at Swindon College in the UK. The session illustrates the breadth and diversity of the subject and opportunities it can offer. The session illustrates things might not always be as they seem and the impacts can be far more reaching than at first imagined.
Improve Cybersecurity posture by using ISO/IEC 27032PECB
Cybersecurity is a universal concern across today’s enterprise and the need for strategic approach is required for appropriate mitigation.
Adopting ISO 27032 will help to:

Vendors are lured by visions of long-term residual subscription income, while customers dream of IT services and software without significant upfront costs. Sounds like techno Shangri-La, but what of security? Pessimists warn us away from the Cloud on the grounds that we should maintain control over the security of our property. Those bullish on the Cloud argue often delusionaly that your data is safer in the Cloud than on your own hard drives. Make no mistake: the Internet is the lion's den, and the Cloud sits squarely in it. This session will discuss the security realities of traditional IT software and infrastructure, and contrast them with those of Cloud-based resources.
Join us on our upcoming BYOP (Bring Your Own Pizza) "Application Security Meetup" to hear about the latest cyber security breaches, trends and technologies in modern application development.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
