Sean Parker argued that network services like Facebook, Twitter, eBay and Apple will dominate the future internet over information services like Google. Network services facilitate connections between users and gain value as more users join, due to network effects. Three key points: 1) Network companies will dominate due to increasing returns to scale from network effects. 2) Future economic value will be generated by facilitating user connections, not collecting data. 3) While Google will remain important, its relative influence will decline as network services that harness social connections rise in importance.
The document discusses modern security threats posed by the use of web 2.0 technologies and social media. Static URL filtering is no longer effective as threats now span multiple vectors including compromised websites, targeted attacks using search engine optimization, and blended threats across email, websites and confidential data leaks. Traditional antivirus also cannot keep up with the volume of new web-based threats. The Triton security platform from Websense is presented as a solution offering unified web, data and email security through real-time content analysis and protection across networks and cloud-based systems.

Link exchanges were once an effective way to improve search engine rankings by gaining backlinks, but are now considered spam by search engines. Search engines no longer value reciprocal links and instead focus on relevant one-way links from other sites to determine a site's importance. Participating in link exchanges can now negatively impact a site's rankings and companies have even been denied inclusion in search engine directories for using them. The best strategies now are to get relevant backlinks through directory submissions, article publishing, and social bookmarking.

European Parliamentarians and the European Disability Forum join with CBM to call for strong European action to implement UN convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities worldwide
MEP Gay Mitchell opens ‘Access for All?’ at the European Parliament in Brussels. Exhibition highlights need to renew commitment to MDGs for people with disabilities in the developing world.
Brussels, 3 December 2008
The European Parliament recently hosted an important photo exhibition to mark International Day of Persons with Disabilities. The exhibition, developed by CBM and entitled ‘Access for all’, will run throughout this week marking the entry into force of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The 2008 theme of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities is "Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities: Dignity and justice for all of us". The photos exhibited illustrate CBM's work in fostering political empowerment and access to health, education, livelihood support and social inclusion in some of the most disadvantaged communities in low income countries.
Much can be achieved when Persons with Disabilities are able to access to development activities; however, such people are a drop in the ocean of the 650 million Persons with Disabilities worldwide. At present only 4 percent of people with disabilities in the developing world access development aid; speakers at the exhibition called for increased commitment and action to equalise opportunities for Persons with Disabilities around the world. Donor countries in particular need to honour their role in ensuring that all development and humanitarian assistance is delivered to people with disabilities on an equal footing with others. Speakers at the opening of 'Access for All' reminded us of the hard work that lies ahead to make sure that the promises made by governments in signing this Convention will be translated into real improvements in the lives of Persons with Disabilities worldwide.
'….billions of Euro can be found for bankers at the drop of a hat…'
Hosting the exhibition was Gay Mitchell, Irish MEP who is used to campaigning for increased focus on development aid and poverty reduction at the European level. He described his pursuit of a strong development cooperation programme for the EU, and pointed out that in these days when 'billions of Euro can be found for bankers at the drop of a hat', he has had to struggle for one billion Euro to come to the aid of farmers in developing countries whose families lives and livelihoods hang in the balance due to the food crisis. Mitchell went on to say that there was 'a need to keep renewing our commitment to poverty reduction and the MDGs', and that 'nowhere is the need felt more strongly than by people with disabilities in the developing world'.
Speakers at the opening of the exhibition addressed the question:
What can the European Union do about the exclusion of persons with disabilities from development cooperation? John Bowis MEP, campaigner for the inclusion of disability across all areas of EC policy, drew inspiration from the photo exhibition, saying: 'We are not asking for people to feel sorry for people with disabilities; we see pride and dignity in the faces of people in the exhibition here today, and it is this pride and dignity that we need to respond to. Disability is not inability- inability is cased by the barriers we as a society put in place'.
Bowis was struck also by the photos which highlighted the way disability impacts families, and in particular its effect on children in developing countries. He reflected on how 'a child's right to play, to be naughty, to mix with other children, to have a career themselves eventually', was all taken away when they either had a disability themselves, or were needed at home to care for a family member because of poverty and inadequate support.

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their MainframePrecisely
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.
zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.
5. Weathering Storms in the Cloud: Analyzing
Massive DDoS Attacks to Prepare for the Future

In the past few years we have seen major cyber attacks on national infrastructures … 2007 on Estonia Government’s communications attacked by a Russian Youth Group attacks peaked at 2000 hps & ~80mbs and in 2008 attacks against Georgia’s IT infrastructure some peaking at ~800mbs. These were big news … this was the first time government communications were impacted by cyber assaults. This year it is difficult to pick up the paper without noticing attacks …. on Swedish Government websites, or commercial services like twitter, facebook or Google.
As you all know, IT Infrastructure Risks can come in many different formsNatural Disaster, hurricanes….earthquakes, tsunami…Flash crowds resulting from Geopolitcal events, major product or software releasesOR Malicious and Intentional Attacks (Kinetic, or non-kinetic Malware, Viruses, DoS attacks, etc.)…THESE RISKS ARE REAL, AND THEY ARE NOT GOING AWAY
Reputation & Brand – Extremely valuable even in the public sectorDollars and Revenue – Internal Revenue Service or the US Postal Services Army Air Force Exchange Service …. outages can be tied to dollars Mission and Customer Trust – Most common with my customers is the ability to reliably make information available to the public. Through secure extranets and public sites. Your Ability to SleepSignificant factors in your success! And although the fundamentals for securing your infrastructure remain the same, the distributed nature of the current threat requires a mitigation that is also distributed. …. and the threat continues to increase.
I will spend some time reviewing some of the risks to public facing sites and infrastructure, the challenges involved with mitigating those risks and then do a, deep dive into the July 4th DDoS attack against the US public Sector and finish up with a few of the lessons learned from that attack.
In a March 2009 Forster Study 74% of the companies surveyed have been subject to DDOS in the last 12 monthsMany think Bot networks made up of zombie computers are the greatest threat to IT infrastructure. Yankee Group study of Tier 1 ISPs (Partridge, 2007), DDoS attacks ranked first on a list of security threats, with botnets a close second.Forster reports that companies can experiences loses of $190k to $19m /hour of down time.Gartner, reports that considers DDoS protection a cost of doing business for any organization that leverages the Internet. This past May 2 of the worlds largest botnets run by organized crime showed uncharacteristic cooperation.
Volume based attack traffic is still growing despite the fact that many more application specific attacks are also being launched.
Akamai has about 65,000+ servers deployed around the world.About 200 hundred of those servers, and growing as appropriate, are setup as agents that do not broadcast any services but sit and listen on all ports and log connections. These are Akamai Agents, and any inbound traffic represents traffic that should not be made to these servers and is either scanning, probing, trying to exploit, or DDoS’ing these IP’s. In addition, Akamai partners with, and co-locates in about 900 ISP’s around the world. Many of these ISP’s share information such as BGB feeds which provide us useful internet network information to correlate with other observations we see in the wild.In the other ~65 servers we deliver live production customer traffic, and we collect logs from those servers and process them constantly. Customer traffic currently averages about 2.2 Million hits per second across a 24 hour period.42 Billion request per day which equates to 84+ Billion logs lines in an average day.
Type of Attack – Brute Force DDoSThe largest coordinated DDoS cyber attack against US Government WebsitesHTTP Resource Drain attackSourced primarily from compromised Korean computers Intensity of Attack1,000,000+ hits per second and ~200 Gbps aggregate attack traffic (US Gov Only)One website received 8 years of traffic in a dayAll Traffic Logged for Akamai Customers64 Billion Log Lines13 TB of uncompressed log data (400+ Gigs of Compressed logs)
You Cannot Block Fast EnoughMany or Few Computers? One of our questions when analyzing this attack was “Is this attack coming from a lot of Zombied computers, or is it coming from some Superfarm of data centers built specifically for the attack”Public Estimates ranged from 20-60k, but it turns out it was ~308k (5 times more), much larger than estimatesThree waves of attackIP’s Overlapping very little between wavesRecruited 50-75k Zombies / day before the malware was prevented from spreading more from compromised computers Traditional Methods of Blocking an attack of this power directed at your infrastructure will not work.Firewalls at Max, and other services impacted.
