Safeguarding Your Business: Understanding, Preventing, and Responding to Data...cyberprosocial
In today’s digitally interconnected world, the term “data breaches” has become all too familiar. Whether it’s a small-scale business or a multinational corporation, no organization is immune to its threat. These breaches can wreak havoc on a company’s finances, reputation, and customer trust. Understanding what they are, how they occur, and most importantly, how to prevent and respond to them, is paramount for businesses of all sizes.
Information security involves protecting information and systems from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption or destruction. It aims to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information through technical, administrative and physical controls. The most common principles of information security are confidentiality, integrity, availability, authenticity, non-repudiation and accountability. Access controls like identification, authentication and authorization help enforce security policies and protect information based on user roles and permissions. Cryptography also plays an important role through encryption to render data unusable without authorization. Information security requires an ongoing, layered approach to safeguard information throughout its lifecycle.
With 2014 being noted as “The Year of the Breach,” many businesses are still unprepared or not properly protected from numerous security threats. So what can your business do to help keep sensitive data safe? Check out the following slideshow to learn how to protect yourself and your business from threats. Contact the IT Security experts at MTG today to protect your organization!
Piers Wilson from Huntsman Security discusses the problem of "frictional" inefficiencies in cyber security operations. As threats and alerts increase, security teams face growing "workloads" that waste time and resources. Automating threat verification and response can help reduce this "friction" by filtering out false positives, providing diagnostic context to prioritize real threats, and handling basic responses, freeing analysts to focus on more strategic work. The goal is to increase "friction" for attackers while decreasing it for defenders through streamlined, certain, industrial-scale security automation.
This document discusses making threat data intelligent by applying security intelligence. It describes how a threat intelligence ecosystem can integrate various data sources like logs, vulnerabilities, malware details and external threat sources. Real examples are provided of how intelligence is used in the defense, government and MSSP sectors to detect suspicious activity, improve security decisions and aid in incident resolution. The benefits are said to include deriving meaningful intelligence from all security data to better identify real attacks.
The document discusses the Internet of Things (IoT) and related security issues. It notes that as more physical objects become connected to networks and the internet, they will introduce new security risks. By 2020, it is predicted there will be over 200 billion connected devices worldwide. The document outlines three goals for enterprises to help secure their networks and systems as IoT proliferation increases: 1) Develop a segmented network architecture and monitoring system to support and manage connected IoT devices; 2) Ensure the ability to quickly detect anomalies, contain impacts, and respond to attacks or failures of IoT technologies; 3) Anticipate predictable risk scenarios and automate timely fail-safe responses.
Infosec 2014 - Considerations when choosing an MSSPHuntsman Security
The considerations organisations should be aware of when selecting managed security service providers (MSSPs) for the management of controls and the monitoring of detected intrusions.
With an often-increased focus on effective and timely response to breaches, many organisations are going down the route of using a third party service to conduct an operational role in their security management processes. However there are things to ask of potential providers at the selection stage, as well as requirements on how services operate once up and running.
It is also important to understand that there will be controls and processes that will still be required for effective management of, and communication with, the MSSP. Both parties play a role in responding to incidents from detection to resolution.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. 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.
