Advances in technology have given rise to new operational threats to governments,companies and society as a whole,this presentation is an introduction of countermeasures against cyber threat.
1. A compromised PC was used to steal over $800,000 from a company by accessing their corporate bank account. Criminals spoofed the IP address to defeat two-factor authentication.
2. Various cyber threats have increased dramatically in recent years, including network intrusion attempts, malicious code infections, and denial of service attacks. Spam has also continued to grow.
3. Social engineering attacks are on the rise, with 48% of large companies experiencing over 25 successful attacks resulting in losses between $25,000-100,000 each. Mobile hacking also nearly doubled from 2010 to 2011 according to Symantec data.
Symantec's Internet Security Threat Report, Volume 18 revealed a 42 percent surge during 2012 in targeted attacks compared to the prior year. Designed to steal intellectual property, these targeted cyberespionage attacks are increasingly hitting the manufacturing sector as well as small businesses, which are the target of 31 percent of these attacks. Small businesses are attractive targets themselves and a way in to ultimately reach larger companies via “watering hole” techniques. In addition, consumers remain vulnerable to ransomware and mobile threats, particularly on the Android platform.
Roedad Khan's book Pakistan; A Dream Gone Sour analyzes the governance of Pakistan over several decades through his experience working with 5 presidents. Khan argues that incompetent and corrupt leadership, lack of accountability, discontinuation of democracy, and sovereignty not resting with the people have led Pakistan away from the initial dreams of its founders. While some leaders like Ayub Khan and Ghulam Ishaq Khan had some merits, overall the presidents contributed to institutional decay, non-enforcement of the rule of law, and irreparable losses to Pakistan. The book provides a first-hand account of the country's governance but could have more deeply analyzed root causes like the security-focused policies and feudal mindsets that held

Introduction - The Smart Protection NetworkAndrew Wong
Trend Micro is introducing its Smart Protection Network, a next-generation security architecture. It collects threat data from various sources and analyzes it using TrendLabs to provide up-to-date threat information to lightweight endpoint clients in near real-time. This network removes the need for pattern monitoring and management on individual endpoints, reducing network traffic and memory usage. It also protects customers faster and with less staff time compared to traditional security solutions.
The document discusses the myth that Oracle databases are often hacked from external sources. It argues that in reality, the majority of attacks come from internal sources such as employees with access privileges, through passive means like exploiting known vulnerabilities, misconfigurations or errors rather than active hacking. Over 80% of attacks are done internally and over 90% exploit standard configuration issues, outdated software or publicized vulnerabilities rather than sophisticated hacking techniques. Insider threats from employees with access are among the most common and damaging attack methods.

Southern African Internet Governance Forum 2015
(SAIGF-15) Thematic Paper No. 7
“A Case for Multi-stakeholder partnerships for critical Internet resources
security in the SADC Region”
Produced by: Southern African Development Community (SADC) Secretariat
Prepared by: Mr. Cade Zvavanjanja
Abstract: With much of SADC‟s Member State‟s critical Internet resources being in the hands of both private and public sector, it seems a natural solution for industry,
Government, civic society and private citizens to work together in ensuring it is both secure and resilient. This cooperation in the form of Multi-stakeholder Partnerships (MPs) is needed in and among Member States and at different times, depending on the environment, culture and legal framework. There is no common definition of what constitutes a MP addressing this area. Diversity is strength when making networks and systems resilient, yet there also exist a need for interworking and a common understanding, especially when making a case for SADC view. There is also a need for a global view as there is a growing awareness for a truly global approach to Critical Internet resources security (CIRS). No country can create a CIRS approach in isolation, as there are no national boundaries on the Internet. The paper makes a case for MPs for CIRS in SADC while addressing the Why, Who, How, What and When questions associated with establishing and maintaining MPs for CIRS in SADC. It uses data from both public and private sector stakeholders across 14 SADC countries. This is not a prescriptive guide, but has a focus on clarity of purpose and approach so that stakeholders can easily choose those aspects that will add value to their endeavours in establishing and maintaining MPs.
This document discusses cloud computing and service level agreements. It begins by defining different types of cloud computing models like SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS. It then discusses how cloud computing differs from traditional on-premise storage by addressing issues like data location, custody, and multi-tenancy. The document outlines important considerations for service level agreements including security, data encryption, privacy, regulatory compliance, and transparency. It emphasizes that SLAs should define metrics and responsibilities to ensure the cloud provider delivers the promised level of service. Finally, it cautions that moving to the cloud requires understanding issues like security, portability, accessibility, and data location laws.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.

40. WHAT IS SOCIAL ENGINEERING
Social Engineering is the art and science of use to
trick one or more human beings to do what an
attackers wants them to do or to reveal information
that compromises a target’s security.
Classic Social Engineering scams include, posing as
a field service technician, calling an operator to
reveal private information such as passwords and
the like.
Social Engineering is an evolving art that uses the
simplest and most creative schemes and involves
minimal technical expertise
The cyberwar strategy relies on hacking, virus writing, electronic snooping and plenty of good old-fashioned human spying. Much disruption can be unleashed over the Internet, but attackers first need to pry open electronic gates to private and secure networks with well-placed insiders, or at least inside knowledge, before they can be effective.

Take some of the examples and put them in a concrete context. Probe participants what they’re doing currently to protect against some of the these methods. DO NOT GO INTO DETAIL IN THIS MODULE, WE COME BACK TO THIS LATER.
The bullets are just examples of the three main motives. Be sure to exemplify most of them. Invite participants to come up with other motives and see if they fit into the three top categories. There’s no direct relationship between threats and motives, basically any mix is possible. However, the teen hackers are mostly hacking for personal motives. Criminals almost exclusively do it for economic gain.
From an information management perspective, we divide the infrastructure into three distinct areas: Network – This is the communication infrastructure that carries traffic for e-commerce and can be internet based as well as private. This includes Wide Area, Local Area and Metro Area Network Storage Area Networks Wireless Networks Voice Networks Application – This logical structure includes all of the applications that are currently used to create efficiencies in the work place Operating System (OS) – This is the nucleus that makes both communication’s and application’s functions possible. This includes both client, server and mainframes: Mainframe UNIX MAC Windows X The security & privacy dimension of this model that need to be addressed any time data is accessed are the following Authentication – Confidentiality Access Controls Data Integrity Audit-ability Non-Repudiation Availability
Detection – Incidents are detected from many sources such as People, Customer Service Desks, Audits, Alerts and Technology Trouble Tickets System. Assessment –. Determine scope & assemble Response Team members. Analysis – Classify an incident; determine actions and possible escalation requirements; and work with Response Team to determine actions. Containment – Activities designed to keep the incident from escalating in severity and limiting the number of affected clients. Forensics – When required identify, preserve, and analyze potential evidence. Resolution/Recover - Determine the extent of damage, the type of response needed, prepare necessary resolution statements (e.g. notification letter, inbound and outbound scripts). Evaluate if notification is necessary and then document lessons learned. It is at this stage where other major stakeholders maybe involved like Human Resources, OGC, Public Relations, Physical Security and Law Enforcement.
