Distribution Industry: What is Ransomware and How Does it Work?The TNS Group
Ransomware is a form of malware that essentially holds your system and files for ransom. When you’re hit with ransomware you have no access whatsoever to your data. It’s locked down but you still have the ability to access the ransom message from the cybercriminals. The message demands payment immediately, sometimes within 24 hours. It also includes what kind of payment which is sometimes an untraceable currency like Bitcoin.

Computer Security
Computer Security Goals
Computer security must be viewed in a holistic manner and provide an end-to-end protection
as data moves through its lifecycle. Data originates from a user or sensor, passes over a
network to reach a computing system that hosts software. This computer system has software
and processes the data and stores in in a storage device. That data is backed up on a device
and finally archived. The elements that handle the data need to be secure. Computer security
pertains to all the means to protect the confidentiality, integrity, availability, authenticity,
utility, and possession of data throughout its lifecycle.
Confidentiality: A security principle that
works to ensure that data is not disclosed to
unauthorized persons.
Integrity: A security principle that makes sure
that information and systems are not
modified maliciously or accidentally.
Availability: A security principle that assures
reliable and timely access to data and
resources by authorized individuals.
Authenticity: A security principle that the
data, transactions, communications or
documents are genuine, valid, and not
fraudulent.
Utility: A security principle that addresses
that the information is usable for its intended
purpose. .
Possession: A security principle that works to
ensure that data remains under the control of
the authorized individuals.
Figure 1. Parkerian Hexad (PH) security model.
The Parerian Hexad (PH) model expands on the Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability (CIA)
triad that has been the basic model of Information Security for over 20 years. This framework is
used to list all aspects of security at a basic level. It provides a complete security framework to
provide the means for information owners to protect their information from any adversaries
and vulnerabilities. It adds Authenticity, Utility, and Possession to CIA triad security model. It
addresses security aspects for data throughout its lifecycle.
The Center for Internet Security has identified 20 controls necessary to protect an organization
from known cyber-attack. The first 5 controls will provide effective defense against the most
common cyber-attacks, approximately 85% of attacks. The 5 controls are:
1. Inventory of Authorized and Devices
2. Inventory of Authorized and Unauthorized Software
3. Secure Configurations for Hardware and Software
4. Continuous Vulnerability Assessment and Remediation
5. Controlled User of Administrative Privileges

Cyberattacks on the Rise: Is Your Nonprofit Prepared?TechSoup
Cyberattacks against small and midsize organizations have increased from 11 percent to 15 percent in 2020, according to an Avast survey. Nonprofits are no exception to this alarming trend, which results in lost productivity, damaged reputations, and serious financial implications. Whether you’re a one-person IT team or a nontechnical concerned stakeholder, this webinar will help you
- Protect your organization from common malware attacks
- Set up a strong cybersecurity strategy for your organization
- Identify solutions to help minimize cyberattack risks
In computer security, a vulnerability is a weakness which allows an .pdfanandanand521251
In computer security, a vulnerability is a weakness which allows an attacker to reduce a system\'s
information assurance. Vulnerability is the intersection of three elements: a system susceptibility
or flaw, attacker access to the flaw, and attacker capability to exploit the flaw.[1] To exploit a
vulnerability, an attacker must have at least one applicable tool or technique that can connect to a
system weakness. In this frame, vulnerability is also known as the attack surface.
Vulnerabilities are flaws in computer software that create weaknesses in your computer or
network’s overall security. Vulnerabilities can also be created by improper computer or security
configurations. Threats exploit the weaknesses of vulnerabilities, resulting in potential damage to
the computer or its data.
The impact of a security breach can be very high. The fact that IT managers, or upper
management, can (easily) know that IT systems and applications have vulnerabilities and do not
perform any action to manage the IT risk is seen as a misconduct in most legislations.
Intrusion detection system is an example of a class of systems used to detect attacks. Some sets
of criteria to be satisfied by a computer, its operating system and applications in order to meet a
good security level have been developed: ITSEC and Common criteria are two examples.
Vulnerability falls under security like computer security, network security,etc.
How to mitigate the risk
§ Install Anti-Virus Software.
Ensure that reputable anti-virus software is installed on all computers. This should include all
servers, PCs and laptops. If employees use computers at home for business use or to remotely
access the network, these PCs should also have anti-virus software installed.
§ Ensure that the anti-virus software is up to date.
Everyday new computer viruses are being released and it is essential that businesses are
protected from these viruses by keeping the anti-virus software up to date. If possible, companies
should look at policies whereby computers that do not have the most up to date anti-virus
software installed are not allowed to connect to the network.
§ Employ a firewall to protect networks.
As computer viruses can spread by means other than email, it is important that unwanted traffic
is blocked from entering the network by using a firewall. For users that use computers for
business away from the protection of the company’s network, such as home PCs or laptops, a
personal firewall should be installed to ensure the computer is protected.
§ Filter all email traffic.
All incoming and outgoing email should be filtered for computer viruses. This filter should
ideally be at the perimeter of the network to prevent computer viruses. Emails with certain file
attachments commonly used by computer viruses to spread themselves, such as .EXE, .COM and
.SCR files, should also be prevented from entering the network.
§ Educate all users to be careful of suspicious e-mails.
Ensure that all users know to .
Information security awareness is an essential part of your information security program (ISMS - Information Security Management System). You can find a comprehensive set of security policies and frameworks at https://templatesit.com.
Cyber Security is: “Protection of information systems against unauthorized access to or modification of information, whether in storage, processing or transit, and against the denial of service to authorized users, including those measures necessary to detect, document, and counter such threats.”

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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.

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.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

3. Fast Facts
The average cost of a malware attack on a company is 2.4 million dollars.
Microsoft Office formats make up the most prevalent group of malicious file
extensions at 38% of the total.
21% of all files are not protected at all.
Ransomware attacks are growing more than 350% annually.
4. Small Businesses as a Target
43% of cyber attacks target small
businesses
Small businesses are easy prey for
international hacking
Small businesses are very vulnerable to
generalized phishing and malware
Small businesses are easy accidental
targets for script kiddies
5. Small Businesses as a Target
Small business owners pay ransoms
Small businesses have valuable data
Small businesses are easy for hackers to
get in and stay in undetected
Lack of budget for adequate
security
Lack of staff and training
6. Malware
Malware is any form of programming or code that can be used to expose a
vulnerability or open a door to your internal network.
Types of malware:
Trojan: Malware that pretends to be other software
Spyware: Used to spy on network operations or users
Rootkit: Installed to gain hidden unauthorized control
Backdoor: Opening in the network for further exploitation
7. Phishing
Phishing is the practice of sending emails
claiming to be from reputable companies
in order to get individuals to reveal
personal information.
8. Email Links
Do not click suspicious email links.
If you are unsure about a link, do not click on the link.
Use https://safeweb.Norton.com by copying the link’s URL and pastig it into
the URL checker at Norton.
Any link can be disguised to redirect you to somewhere else
To circumvent this, just Google it.
9. Email Attachments
The same best practices followed with the clicking links should also be
applied to email attachments.
There are resources you can use if you believe you have a file that might be
malicious. You can upload the suspected file to the website
https://www.virustotal.com/#/home/upload
This site will analyze the file and brief you with results if it is malicious.
10. Protected View
Do not use the “Enable Editing” setting if
not necessary.
This can potentially allow malware to run
background processes on your computer.
This can lead to ransomware and
backdoors on the machine for identity
theft.
11.
12. Social Engineering
Social engineering is the manipulation of
people into performing actions or
divulging confidential information
Types of social engineering include:
Phishing
Tailgaiting
Quid pro quo
13. Antivirus
Antivirus tools are used to remove infections from computers using previously
known hash values. Hash values are the “DNA” of the virus.
Antivirus monitoring are systems that are implemented to monitor normal
user use and network behavior to alert a system administrator of a potential
threat. Alerts could be too many failed login attempts to DNS spoofing and
other network changes.
14. Web Content and Media Filtering
These tools are used to limit the risk of malware exposed to host machines
and servers. Without proper web filtering, users may access sites that could
put potential rootkits and backdoors on user machines, therefore allowing
unauthorized access to the machine from a remote hacker.
Sites that should be blocked include sites that allow file transferring, for
example torrents and The Onion Router traffic. Furthermore, blocking not
suitable for work sites is needed to prevent users from accessing crude or
time-wasting sites that are not suitable for company operations.
15. Virtual Private Network (VPN)
VPNs allow safe remote access to your company’s internal network to access
documents and work remotely.
They work off individual access and encrypt traffic coming into your network
to prevent attackers from stalking and watching the network traffic.
With a VPN, a user is able to remotely connect from a public network into a
private network safely and securely.
16. Data
Data is information. It is the documents,
spreadsheets, and images stored on the
computer.
Data is also more than just files. Data is
the configuration files, services, and
programs that make your computer run.
Without these files, your computer may
not be able to run.
17. Backups
A full backup is the simplest but most data intensive and timely type of
backup. This type of backup will completely record your entire computer or
server to external media.
An incremental backup results in a copy of only the new data that has been
created since the last backup of any type. It can be run as often as desired
and is not usually time intensive or data intensive if managed properly.
A differential backup copies all of the data that has been created since the
previous backup. However, each time the differential backup is run it will
continue to copy all data changed since the previous file backup.
18. Single Point of Failure
A single point of failure is putting all your
eggs in one basket. This means securing
all your backups in one place such as only
on a single external backup media.
19. Patching
Patches are fixes to a piece of software that either fix bugs, fix security
vulnerabilities, or add features.
More than 70% of cyber attacks exploit patchable vulnerabilities.
Have a policy to patch your machines regularly.
Test patches on one machine before deploying to all of them.
20. Wireless Security
There are various forms of encryption
used for wireless.
The most common is unhidden WPA2 with
a pre-shared-key.
As a business, you want a strong
password, pre-shared-key, for your WiFi
because it has become increasingly easier
to decrypt these WiFi passwords.
21. Compliance
Compliance means meeting all of the controls required by the governing
agency
Payment Card Industry (PCI) depends on your business type
HIPAA compliance is universal and applies to any organization that store ePHI.
These regulations help protect your business from threats.
In theory if you are fully compliant, an attacker will have a difficult time
compromising your data.
22. Dangers of Non-Compliance
General
Lawsuits for data loss
PCI
Fines from credit card companies
Increase in transaction fees
HIPAA
Fines from HIPAA regulatory bodies
Legal Fees
23. CyberSecurity Insurance
General Liability insurance WILL NOT cover:
Identity theft or fraud resulting from either a malicious or inadvertent security
breach
Lawsuits or fines resulting from data leaked through a breach
Theft or destruction of such valuable digital assets as intellectual property or
customer lists
Interruption of your business or loss of business due to a hacker or malware
24. CyberSecurity Insurance
Insurance companies offer cyber policies and data breach policies for covering
your business in the event of an attack. They may cover:
Forensic investigation of the breach
Legal advice to determine your notification and regulatory obligations
Offering credit monitoring to customers as a result
Settlements, damages, and judgments related to the breach
Regulatory fines and penalties (including Payment Card Industry fines)
25. Mange Your Risks
IT Management (managing users,
passwords, firewalls, PCs, servers,
networks, change management, logging
and monitoring)
Regular training and awareness for all
users
Regular lifecycle and replacing old
equipment and software
26. What is QuickWatch?
QuickWatch protects your email, servers, network, website, and workstations.
QuickWatch allows us to remotely access your machines to deal with certain
issues that you may have.
QuickWatch automatically backs up your data.
QuickWatch has automatic cloud-driven patch management.
27. Top Tips
Never believe that you are not a
target to hackers.
Keep your software and operating
system up-to-date
Beware of suspicious emails and
phone calls
Practice good password
management
Never leave devices unlocked and
unattended
Back up your data
Use two-factor authentication
Use secure internet connections
Install an enterprise anti-virus and
keep it up-to-date
Protect sensitive data
