Old security approaches are based on finding malware and data leaks. This is like "boiling the ocean," since you are “patching” all possible data paths and data stores, and you may not even find a trace of an attack. New security approaches assume that you are under attack and focus instead on protecting the data itself, even in computer memory (the “target” for a growing number of attacks). This session discusses what companies can do now to prevent what happened to Target and others processing PII, PHI and PCI data. The Oracle Big Data Appliance is a critical part of the solution.
Data centric security key to digital business success - ulf mattsson - bright...Ulf Mattsson
With the exponential growth of data generation and collection stemming from new business models fueled by Big Data, cloud computing and the Internet of Things, we are potentially creating a cybercriminal's paradise where there are more opportunities than ever for that data to end up in the wrong hands. The biggest challenge in this interconnected world is merging data security with data value and productivity. If we are to realize the benefits promised by these new ways of doing business, we urgently need a data-centric strategy to protect the sensitive data flowing through these digital business systems. In this webinar, Ulf Mattsson explores these issues and provides solutions to bring together data insight and security to safely unlock the power of digital business.

Personal data privacy will be the most prominent issue affecting how businesses gather, store, process, and disclose data in public cloud. Businesses have been inundated with information on what recent privacy laws like GDPR and CCPA require, but many are still trying to figure out how to comply with them on a practical level. Many companies are focusing on data privacy from the legal and security side, which are foundational, but are missing the focus on data. The good news is that these data privacy regulations compel businesses to get a handle on personal data — how they get it, where they get it from, which systems process it, where it goes internally and externally, etc. In other words, the new norms of data privacy require proactive data management, which enables organizations to extract real business value from their data, improve the customer experience, streamline internal processes, and better understand their customers.
The new Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) provides perspectives on how Criminals simply shift their focus and adapt their tactics to locate and steal the data they find to be of most value.

Bridging the gap between privacy and big data Ulf Mattsson - Protegrity Sep 10Ulf Mattsson
Big Data systems like Hadoop provide analysis of massive amounts of data to open up “Big Answers”, identifying trends and new business opportunities. The massive scalability and economical storage also provides the opportunity to monetize collected data by selling it to a third party.
However, the biggest issue with Big Data remains security. Like any other system, the data must be protected according to regulatory mandates, such as PCI, HIPAA and Privacy laws; from both external and internal threats – including privileged users.
So how can we bridge the gap between access to vast amounts of data, and security of more and more types of data, in this rapidly evolving new environment?
In this webinar, Ulf Mattsson explores the issues and provide solutions to bring together data insight and security in Big Data. With deep knowledge in advanced data security technologies, Ulf explains the best practices in order to safely unlock the power of Big Data.

The past, present, and future of big data securityUlf Mattsson
ONE OF THE BIGGEST REMAINING CONCERNS REGARDING HADOOP, PERHAPS SECOND ONLY TO ROI, IS SECURITY.
The Past, Present, and Future of Big Data SecurityWhile Apache Hadoop and the craze around Big Data seem to have exploded out into the market, there are still a lot more questions than answers about this new environment.
Hadoop is an environment with limited structure, high ingestion volume, massive scalability and redundancy, designed for access to a vast pool of multi-structured data. What’s been missing is new security tools to match.

New regulations and the evolving cybersecurity technology landscapeUlf Mattsson
As the cyber threat landscape continues to evolve, organizations worldwide are increasing their spend on cybersecurity technology. We have a transition from 3rd party security providers into native cloud security services. The challenge of securing enterprise data assets is increasing. What’s needed to control Cyber Risk and stay Compliant in this evolving landscape?
We will discuss evolving industry standards, how to keep track of your data assets, protect your sensitive data and maintain compliance to new regulations.
Privacy preserving computing and secure multi-party computation ISACA AtlantaUlf Mattsson
A major challenge that many organizations faces, is how to address data privacy regulations such as CCPA, GDPR and other emerging regulations around the world, including data residency controls as well as enable data sharing in a secure and private fashion. We will present solutions that can reduce and remove the legal, risk and compliance processes normally associated with data sharing projects by allowing organizations to collaborate across divisions, with other organizations and across jurisdictions where data cannot be relocated or shared.
We will discuss secure multi-party computation where organizations want to securely share sensitive data without revealing their private inputs. We will review solutions that are driving faster time to insight by the use of different techniques for privacy-preserving computing including homomorphic encryption, k-anonymity and differential privacy. We will present best practices and how to control privacy and security throughout the data life cycle. We will also review industry standards, implementations, policy management and case studies for hybrid cloud and on-premises.
A practical data privacy and security approach to ffiec, gdpr and ccpaUlf Mattsson
With sensitive data residing everywhere, organizations becoming more mobile, and the breach epidemic growing, the need for advanced data privacy and security solutions has become even more critical. French regulators cited GDPR in fining Google $57 million and the U.K.'s Information Commissioner's Office is seeking a $230 million fine against British Airways and seeking $124 million from Marriott. Facebook is setting aside $3 billion to cover the costs of a privacy investigation launched by US regulators.
This session will take a practical approach to address guidance and standards from the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC), EU GDPR, California CCPA, NIST Risk Management Framework, COBIT and the ISO 31000 Risk management Principles and Guidelines.

Protecting Data Privacy in Analytics and Machine LearningUlf Mattsson
In this session, we will discuss a range of new emerging technologies for privacy and confidentiality in machine learning and data analytics. We will discuss how to use open source tools to put these technologies to work for databases and other data sources.
When we think about developing AI responsibly, there’s many different activities that we need to think about. In this session, we will discuss technologies that help protect people, preserve privacy, and enable you to do machine learning confidentially.
This session discusses industry standards and emerging privacy-enhanced computation techniques, secure multiparty computation, and trusted execution environments. We will discuss Zero Trust philosophy fundamentally changes the way we approach security since trust is a vulnerability that can be exploited particularly when working remotely and increasingly using cloud models. We will also discuss the “why, what, and how” of techniques for privacy preserving computing.
We will review how different industries are taking opportunity of these privacy preserving techniques. A retail company used secure multi-party computation to be able to respect user privacy and specific regulations and allow the retailer to gain insights while protecting the organization’s IP. Secure data-sharing is used by a healthcare organization to protect the privacy of individuals and they also store and search on encrypted medical data in cloud.
We will also review the benefits of secure data-sharing for financial institutions including a large bank that wanted to broaden access to its data lake without compromising data privacy but preserving the data’s analytical quality for machine learning purposes.

Who is the next target proactive approaches to data securityUlf Mattsson
The landscape of threats to sensitive data is changing. New technologies bring with them new vulnerabilities, and organizations like Target are failing to react properly to the shifts around them. What's needed is an approach equal to the persistent, advanced attacks companies face every day. The sooner we start adopting the same proactive thinking hackers are using to get at our data, the better we will be able to protect it.
An important part of RSAC 2020 focused on Business-Critical Application Security and we're seeing a transformational shift in technology. The enterprise architecture we used to know is changing. Cloud application development is accelerating and diversifying where many organizations have virtual machines, containers, and now serverless applications running in the cloud, transforming code into infrastructure. Microservices make a lot of sense for scale and development agility, but if everything is talking to everything else via APIs, it’s likely that there are many (and I mean many) application vulnerabilities. Additionally, API security is new, so processes are likely immature, and API security sits somewhere between application developers, DevOps, and cybersecurity, leading to organizational and skills challenges. We will organize this chaos from RSAC and discuss Security in The API Ecosystem.
Security is morphing to a hybrid model for distributed policy enforcement across cloud-based environments. At the same time, organizations want central policy management for the whole environment.

In this report, we breakdown the Target attack to 11 detailed steps, beginning with the initial credential theft of Target’s HVAC contractor to the theft of PII and credit cards. Particular attention is given to those steps, unknown until now, such as how the attackers were able to propagate within the network. Throughout this report we highlight pertinent insights into the Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTPs4) of the attackers. Finally, we provide recommendations on the needed security measures for mitigating similar advanced targeted attacks.

We are living in a world where cyber security is a top priority for .pdfgalagirishp
We are living in a world where cyber security is a top priority for all governments and
businesses. In fact, last week the United States announced cyber security as its biggest. James
Clapper, the Director of National Intelligence, says that “the world is applying digital
technologies faster than our ability to understand the security implications and mitigate potential
risks.” Hackers are able to get ahead of governments because they are applying technology faster
than many can understand it.
(http://ca.reuters.com/article/technologyNews/idCABRE92B0LS20130312)
These attackers are persistent, and it is important to be aware of the methods used by hackers as
it is an important step towards defending sensitive company data.
When a hacker strikes, the cost to a company could potentially be millions of dollars. Not only
will it affect the bottom line, but hard-earned reputations can be compromised or destroyed.
It is important to recognize the differences between the different kinds of cyber threats: external
and internal. An external, or outsider threat is much trickier to pinpoint. It can be “from someone
that does not have authorized access to the data and has no formal relationship to the company.”
They could be from someone who is actively targeting the company, or accidentally from
someone who found a lost mobile device.
Internal threats are likely to come from an authorized individual that has easy access to sensitive
corporate data as part of their day-to-day duties. This could be anyone working within the
company or acting as a third party representative. The Global Knowledge Blog states that
insiders have a much greater advantage because they have means, motive, and opportunity,
whereas outsiders most often only have a motive.
(http://globalknowledgeblog.com/technology/security/hacking-cybercrime/insider-vs-outsider-
threats/)
When focusing on internal threats, we have made a digital security check list:
Implement an Intrusion Detection System (IDS). These systems act like security cameras
watching a network. They react to suspicious activity by logging off suspect users, or in some
cases, they might reprogram firewalls to snag a possible intrusion.
Implement a log management platform that will centralize all the logs and correlate to find
threats and alert on them.
Stay proactive with Identity Management systems that will monitor high risk or suspicious user
activity by detecting and correcting situations that are out of compliance or present a security
risk.
Be aware of who has keys and access codes to vulnerable information. Monitor the activity
when these spaces are accessed, authorized, or not.
Create safety policies for when employees with these security privileges leave the company or
are terminated. This will reduce the risk of theft due to careless behaviour, or break-ins from
disgruntled employees.
Get employees involved with the security procedures of the company. As a team, you can work
to strengthen your digital security pr.
It seems you can't turn on the news lately without hearing about some serious cyber attack or vulnerability. Today's cyber threat landscape costs companies BILLIONS in damages each year! Here are 10 things you should know about cybersecurity.
BIZGrowth Strategies - Cybersecurity Special EditionCBIZ, Inc.
Cyberattacks are becoming more frequent and sophisticated, making a recovery from them increasingly difficult. Without preparation, a cyberattack can be devastating to your business, having severe operational, financial, legal and reputational implications.
The prevalence of cyber breaches also means cybersecurity is no longer solely an IT concern. Elevating your information security from functional to effective takes a robust set of elements, processes and people working together toward a common goal.
Our professionals have developed these articles and resources to help you protect your organization from these attacks.

Practical risk management for the multi cloudUlf Mattsson
This session will take a practical approach to IT risk management and discuss multi cloud, Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) and how Enterprises are losing ground in the fight against persistent cyber-attacks. We simply cannot catch the bad guys until it is too late. This picture is not improving. Verizon reports concluded that less than 14% of breaches are detected by internal monitoring tools.
We will review the JP Morgan Chase data breach were hackers were in the bank’s network for months undetected. Network configuration errors are inevitable, even at the largest banks as Capital One that recently had a data breach where a hacker gained access to 100 million credit card applications and accounts.
Viewers will also learn about:
- Macro trends in Cloud security and Micro trends in Cloud security
- Risks from Quantum Computing and when we should move to alternate forms of encryption
- Review “Kill Chains” from Lockhead Martin in relation to APT and DDoS Attacks

Jun 29 new privacy technologies for unicode and international data standards ...Ulf Mattsson
Protecting the increasing use International Unicode characters is required by a growing number of Privacy Laws in many countries and general Privacy Concerns with private data. Current approaches to protect International Unicode characters will increase the size and change the data formats. This will break many applications and slow down business operations. The current approach is also randomly returning data in new and unexpected languages. New approach with significantly higher performance and a memory footprint can be customizable and fit on small IoT devices.
We will discuss new approaches to achieve portability, security, performance, small memory footprint and language preservation for privacy protecting of Unicode data. These new approaches provide granular protection for all Unicode languages and customizable alphabets and byte length preserving protection of privacy protected characters.
Old Approaches
Major Issues
Protecting the increasing use International Unicode characters is required by a growing number of Privacy Laws in many countries and general Privacy Concerns with private data.
Old approaches to protect International Unicode characters will typically increase the size and change the data formats.
This will break many applications and slow down business operations. This is an example of an old approach that is also randomly returning data in new and unexpected languages

Data encryption and tokenization for international unicodeUlf Mattsson
Unicode is an information technology standard for the consistent encoding, representation, and handling of text expressed in most of the world's writing systems. The standard is maintained by the Unicode Consortium, and as of March 2020, it has a total of 143,859 characters, with Unicode 13.0 (these characters consist of 143,696 graphic characters and 163 format characters) covering 154 modern and historic scripts, as well as multiple symbol sets and emoji. The character repertoire of the Unicode Standard is synchronized with ISO/IEC 10646, each being code-for-code identical with the other.
The Unicode Standard consists of a set of code charts for visual reference, an encoding method and set of standard character encodings, a set of reference data files, and a number of related items, such as character properties, rules for normalization, decomposition, collation, rendering, and bidirectional text display order (for the correct display of text containing both right-to-left scripts, such as Arabic and Hebrew, and left-to-right scripts). Unicode's success at unifying character sets has led to its widespread and predominant use in the internationalization and localization of computer software. The standard has been implemented in many recent technologies, including modern operating systems, XML, Java (and other programming languages), and the .NET Framework.
Unicode can be implemented by different character encodings. The Unicode standard defines Unicode Transformation Formats (UTF) UTF-8, UTF-16, and UTF-32, and several other encodings. The most commonly used encodings are UTF-8, UTF-16, and UCS-2 (a precursor of UTF-16 without full support for Unicode)

Use Cases
Safeguarding customer and financial data in analytics and machine learningUlf Mattsson
Digital Transformation and the opportunities to use data in Analytics and Machine Learning are growing exponentially, but so too are the business and financial risks in Data Privacy. The increasing number of privacy incidents and data breaches are destroying brands and customer trust, and we will discuss how business prioritization can be benefit from a finance-based data risk assessment (FinDRA).
More than 60 countries have introduced privacy laws and by 2023, 65% of the world’s population will have its personal information covered under modern privacy regulations. We will discuss use cases in financial services that are finding a balance between new technology impact, regulatory compliance, and commercial business opportunity. Several privacy-preserving and privacy-enhanced techniques can provide practical security for data in use and data sharing, but none universally cover all use cases. We will discuss what tools can we use mitigate business risks caused by security threats, data residency and privacy issues. We will discuss how technologies like pseudonymization, anonymization, tokenization, encryption, masking and privacy preservation in analytics and business intelligence are used in Analytics and Machine Learning.
Organizations are increasingly concerned about data security in processing personal information in external environments, such as the cloud; and information sharing. Data is spreading across hybrid IT infrastructure on-premises and multi-cloud services and we will discuss how to enforce consistent and holistic data security and privacy policies. Increasing numbers of data security, privacy and identity access management products are in use, but they do not integrate, do not share common policies, and we will discuss use cases in financial services of different techniques to protect and manage data security and privacy.
Protecting data privacy in analytics and machine learning ISACA London UKUlf Mattsson
ISACA London Chapter webinar, Feb 16th 2021
Topic: “Protecting Data Privacy in Analytics and Machine Learning”
Abstract:
In this session, we will discuss a range of new emerging technologies for privacy and confidentiality in machine learning and data analytics. We will discuss how to put these technologies to work for databases and other data sources.
When we think about developing AI responsibly, there’s many different activities that we need to think about.
This session also discusses international standards and emerging privacy-enhanced computation techniques, secure multiparty computation, zero trust, cloud and trusted execution environments. We will discuss the “why, what, and how” of techniques for privacy preserving computing.
We will review how different industries are taking opportunity of these privacy preserving techniques. A retail company used secure multi-party computation to be able to respect user privacy and specific regulations and allow the retailer to gain insights while protecting the organization’s IP. Secure data-sharing is used by a healthcare organization to protect the privacy of individuals and they also store and search on encrypted medical data in cloud.
We will also review the benefits of secure data-sharing for financial institutions including a large bank that wanted to broaden access to its data lake without compromising data privacy but preserving the data’s analytical quality for machine learning purposes.
New opportunities and business risks with evolving privacy regulationsUlf Mattsson
In the shadow of the global pandemic and the associated economic downturn, organizations are focused on cost optimization, which often leads to impulsive decisions to deprioritize compliance with all nonrevenue programs.
Regulators have evolved to adapt with the notable increase in data subject complaints and are getting more serious about organizations that don’t properly protect consumer data. Marriott was hit with a $124 million fine while Equifax agreed to pay a minimum of $575 million for its breach. The US Federal Trade Commission, the US Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), and all 50 U.S. states and territories sued over the company’s failure to take “reasonable steps” to secure its sensitive personal data.
Privacy and data protection are enforced by a growing number of regulations around the world and people are actively demanding privacy protection — and legislators are reacting. More than 60 countries have introduced privacy laws in response to citizens’ cry for transparency and control. By 2023, 65% of the world’s population will have its personal information covered under modern privacy regulations, up from 10% today, according to Gartner. There is a convergence of data privacy principles, standards and regulations on a common set of fundamental principles.
The opportunities to use data are growing exponentially, but so too are the business and financial risks as the number of data protection and privacy regulations grows internationally.
Join this webinar to learn more about:
- Trends in modern privacy regulations
- The impact on organizations to protect and use sensitive data
- Data privacy principles
- The impact of General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and data transfer between US and EU
- The evolving CCPA, the new PCI DSS version 4 and new international data privacy laws or regulations
- Data privacy best practices, use cases and how to control sensitive personal data throughout the data life cycle

Tokenization on Blockchain is a steady trend. It seems that everything is being tokenized on Blockchain from paintings, diamonds and company stocks to real estate. Thus, we took an asset, tokenized it and created its digital representation that lives on Blockchain. Blockchain guarantees that the ownership information is immutable.
Unfortunately, some problems need to be solved before we can successfully tokenize real-world assets on Blockchain. Main problem stems from the fact that so far, no country has a solid regulation for cryptocurrency. For example, what happens if a company that handles tokenization sells the property? They have no legal rights on the property and thus are not protected by the law. Another problem is that this system brings us back some sort of centralization. The whole idea of Blockchain and especially smart contracts is to create a trustless environment.
Tokenization is a method that converts a digital value into a digital token. Tokenization can be used as a method that converts rights to an asset into a digital token.
The tokenization system can be implemented local to the data that is tokenized or in a centralized model. We will discuss tokenization implementations that can provide scalability across hybrid cloud models. This session will position different data protection techniques, use cases for blockchain, and protecting blockchain.

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).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

61. You must assume the systems will be breached.
Once breached, how do you know you've been compromised?
You have to baseline and understand what 'goodness' looks like
and look for deviations from goodness
McAfee and Symantec can't tell you what normal looks like in your
own systems.
CISOs say SIEM Not Good for Security Analytics
own systems.
Only monitoring anomalies can do that
Monitoring could be focused on a variety of network and end-user
activities, including network flow data, file activity and even going
all the way down to the packets

64. Conclusions
What happened at Target?
• Modern customized malware can be very hard to detect
• They were compliant, but not secure
Changing threat landscape & challenges to secure data:
• Attackers are looking for not just payment data – a more serious problem.
• IDS systems are lacking context needed to catch data theft
64
• SIEM detection is too slow in handling large amounts of events.
How can we prevent what happened to Target and the next attack
against our sensitive data?
• Assume that we are under attack - proactive protection of the data itself
• We need to analyze event information and context to catch modern attackers
• The Oracle Big Data Appliance can provide the foundation for solving this problem
