Visualizing BI technical cyber risks. Enterprise Risk and SecurityBiZZdesign
Method for business impact analysis of technical risks is explained, which combines the disciplines of technical risk analysis and Enterprise Architecture. Our method is supported by software tooling to (semi-)automatically import results of a penetration test into an Enterprise Architecture model, and to analyze and visualize the business impact of these technical risks. This both enhances the value of penetration testing and increases the return-on-investment of the Enterprise Architecture effort.
We are FixNix, born on a vision to democratize the Governance, Risk and Compliance(GRC) vertical. GRC is a very niche area and there are very few companies doing this in market. Within one year of inception, we have cracked Microsoft Bizspark Challenge and IEEE Best Cloud Startup awards.
We master in developing mature and tailored GRC solutions and offer them as a SaaS model. We have launched our product before 6 months and we are successful by achieving enterprise clients like Cipla, Mphasis, GMR, E&Y with on-premise deployments and a couple of SMBs with SaaS sign ups.
NIST Cybersecurity Framework is voluntary framework to support the emerging needs for having robust and effective cyber security practices across an enterprise. This presentation recaps the Framework 6 months into implementation and along with changes. Also, discusses the capabilities of TrustedAgent GRC to accelerate and strengthen the implementation of an effective cybersecurity program by automating or addressing many of the practices required by the framework.

The modern IT stack has become diverse and distributed, and it’s increasingly challenging to manage heterogeneous platforms and multi-vendor devices. Customers are looking to the cloud and APM to help address these hurdles, as well as accelerate IT transformation.
But migrating to the cloud will take time, it won’t make infrastructure ‘just disappear’, and legacy workloads are going to remain part of the enterprise reality for many. In addition, while APM will continue to be increasingly important, all applications are not the same and an application is still not equal to a digital business service.
Watch this webinar as John Worthington, a service management expert and Director of Product Marketing for eG Innovations, continues our Shift-Left series. You can learn:
• Why domain expertise is important when defining monitoring requirements
• What analytics are useful from a monitoring and observability context
• How end-to-end monitoring with converged application and infrastructure performance can drive ITSM and DevOps integration
Protect What Matters Most: Business Critical Apps and Data : Hackers and malicious insiders steal your data by exploiting the gaps left by traditional endpoint and network security. As many companies have painfully discovered, a breach goes far beyond the loss of data. It results in financial losses, regulatory fines, and damage to a company’s reputation. The Imperva SecureSphere, Incapsula and Skyfence product lines enable organizations to discover assets and vulnerabilities, protect information wherever it lives – in the cloud and on-premises – and comply with regulations. check this out and thanks
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

2. OVERVIEW
• NetIQ is an enterprise software company that provides products for identity and
access management, security and data center management
• Atlas Systems worked with NetIQ to develop an off-the-shelf dashboard
application for risk and security compliance
• The clients for this application include Fortune 500 companies across numerous
industries as well as the United States government
3. CHALLENGES
• The solution was required to align security metrics gathered from users’
IT systems to demonstrate compliance with IT related policies and
regulations
• Those metrics had to be displayed in a powerful yet easy to understand,
web based dashboard for compliance management
• This solution also had to analyze IT risk factors such as compliance
exceptions and vulnerabilities across the key areas of the user’s business.
4. SOLUTION
• Atlas architects and engineers designed, developed and continue to
provide ongoing implementation services for the NetIQ Risk and
Compliance Center as well as the complete suite of NetIQ security
products
• Atlas Systems works closely with domain experts to perform
requirements gathering for Implementation Services, execute Product
Configuration/Product Enhancements, data integration and conversion
services
5. RESULTS
• Demonstrates regulatory compliance —The solution maps technical assessment results to
specific regulations and standards to present key compliance metrics for different control
areas. From high-level compliance reports, managers can drill down to problem areas and
render management reports based on regulation or security standard (e.g., Sarbanes-Oxley,
HIPAA, FISMA, ISO 17799).
• Delivers on-going risk analysis —The solution measures IT security risk in your environment
using innovative metric models that factor in the nature of compliance exceptions and
vulnerabilities and the business value of IT assets.The ability to provide in-depth reporting,
along with executive overviews, makes it easy to spot potential problems before they impact
services or security.
• Centralizes security information for easier access and decision-making —The solution mines
security assessment results reflecting system configurations, vulnerabilities, patch levels, user
accounts and permissions, auditing and more into an enterprise dashboard.With easier access
to critical security information, managers can quickly assess security risks and regulatory
compliance in order to allocate resources effectively
• Turns complex data into actionable information —The solution presents information in easy-
to-understand charts, graphs and executive summaries via a customizable interface.Views can
be tailored to your regulatory, organizational and technical needs and drill down capabilities
make it easy to go from a high-level summary to a detailed analysis.
