Data Privacy, Information Security, and Cybersecurity: What Your Business Nee...PECB
95% of cybersecurity breaches are due to human error. That’s what Cybint’s facts and stats article shows.
Seeing this high percentage of risk that might lead to greater loss, organizations should be well aware of their processes and procedures in place. Decisive for avoiding breaches is that everyone in the organization is able to understand and detect potential threats beforehand and react in a quick and effective way.
The webinar will cover:
• The most recent attacks such as the supply chain attacks
• Trends, and statistics
• The impacts of the pandemic on cybersecurity landscapes, closing the gaps on remote workforce security,
• How to improve your organization’s cybersecurity posture by asking the right questions and implementing a tiered approach

As a new CISO, you want to have an impact as quickly as possible - people will be watching and judging. But at the same time, you need to be practical about what's achievable in an organization that you're still getting to know. It's also important to consider the experience you bring to the role and how it applies - or doesn't - to your new job.
In this webinar, we'll discuss three fundamental differences you're likely to experience in your new job and offer recommendations on strategic activities you can focus on in your first 90 days. New CISOs will gain a framework for identifying these quick wins. Existing CISOs will get an opportunity to refresh and revitalize their security program.
Our featured speakers for this webinar will be:
- Ted Julian, Chief Marketing Officer, Co3 Systems
- Bill Campbell, IT Executive and Serial CISO

OIG: Review of NASA's Management and Oversight of Its Information Technology ...Bill Duncan
We found that NASA's IT security program
had not fully implemented key FISMA requirements needed to adequately secure Agency information systems and data. For example, we found that only 24 percent (7 of 29) of the systems we reviewed met FISMA requirements for annual security controls testing and only 52 percent (15 of 29) met FISMA requirements for annual contingency plan testing. In addition, only 40 percent (2 of 5) of the external systems we reviewed were certified and accredited.
These deficiencies occurred because NASA did not have an independent verification and validation function for its IT security program
. We also found that NASA's Office of Chief Information Officer (OCIO) had not effectively managed corrective action plans used to prioritize the mitigation of IT security weaknesses. This occurred because OCIO did not have a formal policy for managing the plans and did not follow recognized best practices when it purchased an information system that it hoped would facilitate Agency-wide management of IT corrective action plans. However, after spending more than $3 million on the system since October 2005, implementation of the software failed.
The Agency is currently expending funds to acquire a replacement system. Specifically, we found that the information system was significantly underutilized and therefore was not an effective tool for managing corrective action plans across NASA. For example, the system contained corrective actions plans for only 2 percent (7 of 289) of the 29 systems we sampled. In our judgment, the system was underutilized because OCIO did not fully document detailed system requirements prior to selecting the system and did not have users validate requirements via acceptance testing prior to implementing it. Because the information system contained minimal data and the manual process the Agency relied on was not consistently followed, OCIO's management of corrective actions plans was ineffective and did not ensure that significant IT security weaknesses were corrected in a timely manner.
Until NASA takes steps to fully meet FISMA requirements and to improve its system acquisition practices, NASA's IT security program will not be fully effective in protecting critical Agency information systems. Moreover, until such improvements are made OCIO will not be in a position to effectively allocate resources to correct IT security weaknesses. Management

On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
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.

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.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

2. Rationale for MCGlobalTech Security Services
• Open technologies and networked systems used by industry are a likely target for malicious
cyber activities because they are easily accessible, have a wide installation base and detailed
information is available on the Internet.
• Internet-based attacks can wreak havoc on your organization. You are connected with
customers, vendors, suppliers and governments, and are entrusted with vast amounts of
sensitive data such as intellectual capital, proprietary information, etc.
• Your organization can be a leader in responding to new cybersecurity threats. Strong
governance and a mature information security program that draws on industry-driven best
practices can significantly improved cybersecurity posture.
The protection of IT infrastructure is critical to the manufacturing, industrial, healthcare, science and
defense industries. All organizations must protect their systems from attacks that can negatively affect
operations, services and put proprietary information at risk. An organization’s information security
posture can be increased through our Enterprise Security Maturity Program. We help you better
understand and comply with industry standards and federal regulations.
3. The Security Challenge
Information Security challenges all organizations face:
• Organizations in practically every industry are under immense pressure to improve quality, reduce complexity,
increase efficiency and better manage IT expenses;
• Information Systems and data exchanges are vital components to meet these growing challenge, however, the
adoption of technology introduces an abundance of security risks;
• Growing risks and liabilities, including unauthorized access, data breaches, regulatory violations, new
technology implementation, etc.;
• Strong IS governance, oversight, and a thorough understanding of regulatory requirements, industry standards,
and best practices is required to reduce and mitigate the risk of successful cyber crimes;
General obstacle to overcome these challenges include but not limited to:
• Redundant and inconsistent requirements and standards;
• Confusion surrounding implementation and acceptable minimum controls;
• Inefficiencies associated with varying interpretations of control objectives and safeguards;
• Increasing scrutiny from regulators, auditors, underwriters, customers and business partners;
• Lack of highly trained cyber security staff to address information security needs.
4. Overcoming The Challenges
To effectively manage information security, a strong Information Security strategy must be put in
place. The strategy should focus on three elements – People, Process and Technology.
• People are the cornerstone to every security program. Having proper leadership, competent
security staff and trained users ensures security is adequate considered in all business
operations.
• Process ensures the appropriate security practices and procedures are developed,
implemented and maintained to support in support of a well-defined security governance
framework.
• Technology ensures that the appropriate security controls are in place to protect your
environment from all assessed threats, vulnerabilities, and resulting risks.
The recognized importance of information security and compliance has seen significant growth in recent
years. With the integration of networked business systems, comes the risk of malicious software and the
malicious acts of cyber criminals. With constantly changing technology and the Internet, the security
risks are greatly increasing. All industries have challenges mitigating security issues.

10. MCGlobalTech Positioning Statement
• Managing security risks, compliancy to federal regulations and industry standards, classifying
information, IT governance and policy development, requires organizations to better understand
and control governance, processes, and security measure, while supporting existing business
operations.
• Organizations are starting to take steps to implement integrated solutions to address this need
and this trend is likely to continue or accelerate in the years to come. Therefore, an independent
Information Security Program Assessment should be performed to determine the organization's
security posture, security gaps, and necessary corrective actions.
Services offered to help you better manage your Security and IT Infrastructure:
• Security Governance, Risk & Compliance Assessment Services
• Enterprise Information Security Management Services
• Cloud Computing Security Management Services
• IT Infrastructure Management Services
