How to Simplify Audit Compliance with Unified Security ManagementAlienVault
Maintaining, verifying, and demonstrating compliance with regulatory requirements, whether PCI DSS, HIPAA, GLBA or others, is far from a trivial exercise. Proving compliance with these requirements often translates into a lot of manual and labor-intensive tasks – chasing down discrepancies in asset inventory spreadsheets, remediating critical vulnerabilities, and weeding through log data trying to make sense of it all. In fact, you may need to consult at least a dozen different tools to assemble the security controls and reports you need. Compliance doesn't have to be so hard.

- Common audit compliance failures
- A pre-audit checklist to help you plan and prepare
- Core security capabilities needed to demonstrate compliance

Improve threat detection with hids and alien vault usmAlienVault
Host-based intrusion dection systems (HIDS) work by monitoring activity that is occurring internally on a host. HIDS look for unusual or nefarious activity by examining logs created by the operating system, looking for changes made to key system files, tracking installed software, and sometimes examining the network connections a host makes. AlienVault USM integrates HIDS with other key security controls to help you get the most out of HIDS, including:
Analyzing system behavior and configuration status to track user access and activity
Detecting system compromise, modification of critical configuration files (e.g. registry settings, /etc/passwd), common rootkits, and rogue processes
Correlating HIDS data with known IP reputation, vulnerability scans and more
Logging and reporting for PCI compliance

Tech Throwdown: Secure Containerization vs WhitelistingInvincea, Inc.
To address the inadequacy of traditional anti-virus solutions, white-listing and secure containerization approaches have both gained traction in the enterprise. Both approaches have the overarching goal of preventing a successful breach at the endpoint, but each works differently and also focus on different parts of the cyber kill chain.
Invincea, a secure containerization solution, inoculates high-risk and Internet-facing applications against attack by running them in secure virtual containers, which have restricted access to the underlying host OS. This effectively removes the most common means of delivering the infection (see figure below). Any successful exploits of targeted applications (such as IE, Java, Flash, etc.), including by 0-day exploits, are kept safely in quarantine where additional forensic details may be uncovered.
Whitelisting attempts to prevent infections by allowing only certain known executables to run. This means whitelisting solutions will not see initial exploits; rather, whitelisting focuses on the next step beyond the exploit where many attacks then attempt to launch 2<sup>nd</sup> stage (malicious) executables with additional goals such as privilege escalation, lateral movement, or data exfiltration. In other words, whitelisting solutions do not have visibility into exploits of existing programs and for memory-resident malware. In addition, whitelisting solutions that prevent unknown software from running will flag legitimate software (such as patches) that are not updated with the whitelist.

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.
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.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. 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.

Critical Controls for Effective Cyber Defense
To secure against cyber attacks, organizations must vigorously defend their
networks and systems from a variety of internal and external threats. They
must also be prepared to detect and thwart damaging follow-on attack
activities inside a network that has already been compromised. Two guiding
principles are: "Prevention is ideal but detection is a must" and "Offense
informs defense."
The Goal of the Critical Controls
The goal of the Critical Controls is to protect critical assets, infrastructure, and
information by strengthening your organization's defensive posture through
continuous, automated protection and monitoring of your sensitive information
technology infrastructure to reduce compromises, minimize the need for
recovery efforts, and lower associated costs.
Strong emphasis on "What really Works" - security controls where products,
processes, architectures and services are in use that have demonstrated real
world effectiveness.

Brief History of TOP-20 CSC
• In 2008, the Office of the Secretary of Defense asked the National Security
Agency for help in prioritizing the myriad security controls that were available for
cybersecurity with strong emphasis on "What really Works”.
• The request went to NSA because NSA best understood how cyber attacks
worked and which attacks were used most frequently.
• A consortium of U.S. and international cyberdefense agencies quickly grew, and
was joined by experts from private industry and around the globe.
• Surprisingly, the clear consensus of the consortium was that there were only 20
Critical Controls that addressed the most prevalent attacks found in
government and industry. This then became the focus for an initial draft
document. The draft of the 20 Critical Controls was circulated in 2009 to several
hundred IT and security organizations for further review and comment.
• Over 50 organizations commented on the draft. They endorsed the concept of a
focused set of controls and the selection of the 20 Critical Controls.
• Last release - Version 4.1, March, 2013

Security
Controls
5 critical principles ofeffective cyber defense system as reflected in the
Critical Controls are:
1. Offense informs defense: Use knowledge of actual attacks that have compromised
systems to provide the foundation to build effective, practical defenses. Include only
those controls that can be shown to stop known real-world attacks.
2. Prioritization: Invest first in controls that will provide the greatest risk reduction and
protection against the most dangerous threat actors, and that can be feasibly
implemented in your computing environment.
3. Metrics: Establish common metrics to provide a shared language for executives, IT
specialists, auditors, and security officials to measure the effectiveness of security
measures within an organization so that required adjustments can be identified and
implemented quickly.
4. Continuous monitoring: Carry out continuous monitoring to test and validate the
effectiveness of current security measures.
5. Automation: Automate defenses so that organizations can achieve reliable, scalable,
and continuous measurements of their adherence to the controls and related metrics.
