DYNAMIC IDP SIGNATURE PROCESSING BY FAST ELIMINATION USING DFAIJNSA Journal
Intrusion Detection & Prevention Systems generally aims at detecting / preventing attacks against Information systems and networks. The basic task of IDPS is to monitor network & system traffic for any malicious packets/patterns and hence to prevent any unwarranted incidents which leads the systems to insecure state. The monitoring is done by checking each packet for its validity against the signatures formulated for identified vulnerabilities. Since, signatures are the heart & soul of an Intrusion Detection and Prevention System (IDPS), we, in this paper, discuss two methodologies we adapted in our research effort to improve the current Intrusion Detection and Prevention (IDP) systems. The first methodology RUDRAA is for formulating, verifying & validating the potential signatures to be used with IDPS. The second methodology DSP-FED is aimed at processing the signatures in less time with our proposed fast elimination method using DFA. The research objectives of this project are 1) To formulate & process potential IPS signatures to be used with Intrusion prevention system. 2) To propose a DFA based approach for signature processing which, upon a pattern match, could process the signatures faster else could eliminate it efficiently if not matched
NASA uses two complementary processes for risk management: risk-informed decision making (RIDM) and continuous risk management (CRM). RIDM emphasizes using risk analysis to make risk-informed decisions across dimensions like safety, cost, and schedule. CRM manages risks associated with implementation and uses risk statements to document risks across multiple dimensions. Current risk analysis methods often fail to provide a complete risk picture by only considering risks one dimension at a time. MRisk addresses this by analyzing risks across all dimensions simultaneously using anchor points and Mahalanobis distance, providing a more objective and accurate assessment of total project risk.
Self-defending software: Automatically patching errors in deployed software ...Sung Kim
This document describes a system called ClearView that aims to automatically patch errors in deployed software. ClearView learns normal program behavior from successful executions and detects attacks by checking for violations of learned constraints. When an attack is detected, ClearView analyzes the effects and proposes patches to repair the vulnerability and prevent future attacks. Patches are evaluated on clients and the most effective patches are redistributed to improve the system over time. The goal is to protect legacy and commercial software against unknown vulnerabilities while preserving functionality.
The document discusses a Ph.D. dissertation proposal on developing proactive schemes for mission assurance in critical systems against smart and determined attackers. The proposal covers introducing deception-based techniques to strengthen the recovery phase of critical systems and ensure mission survivability even under stealthy multi-stage attacks. It outlines the motivation, problem formulation, background, solution approach consisting of three components, and the threat model and evaluation framework.
LVA 6.50 is a security level voice analysis technology, adapted to meet the needs and expected emotional scenarios encountered in security use, such as formal police investigations, security clearances, secured area access control, intelligence source questioning, hostage negotiation, and more.
The document introduces Nemesysco's RA7 solution for more effectively fighting insurance and financial fraud. The RA7 solution allows for (1) 1 day of agent or 5 days of front line investigator training, (2) 100% call coverage to streamline and standardize investigation procedures, and (3) use for claim processing, underwriting, risk assessment, loans, credit cards, and periodic tests. The RA7 solution aims to significantly improve bottom lines and customer service while changing current procedures as little as possible.

Information Security - Back to Basics - Own Your VulnerabilitiesJack Nichelson
When a security program isn't as good as it should be it can be tempting to conclude that it needs more resources and solutions. Jack Nichelson decided to take a different approach: simplification. By focusing on fewer problems with bigger returns, he was able to reduce malware by 60 percent and improve the results of his annual pen report. He’ll share a back-to-the-basics case study for removing complexity and running a simple, effective, start-up worthy security program.

This document summarizes a study that assessed the telephone skills of refractive surgery providers. Over 500 phone calls were made to 77 refractive practices to evaluate how they handled incoming calls from potential LASIK patients. The calls were scored based on 13 criteria like greeting, discussing pricing, and anticipating caller needs. Most practices struggled, with average scores around 50/100. After feedback, scores improved slightly to 52/100 in a second round. While basic skills improved, practices had more difficulty controlling conversations and anticipating needs. The study shows room for practices to enhance telephone training to improve conversion of interested callers to patients.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

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).

5. Implementing RA7 in your organization
Needs, IT and installation:
Every RA7 project begins with a preparation meeting designed to learn
about your organization unique needs. This meeting will prepare the
ground for our joint work, and together we’ll design the process in which
RA7 can be of use to meet your expectation.
• We will learn current business process and methodology in detecting &
handling fraud.
• Understand PR, Legal and IT operational concerns.
• Provide the basis for the “conversation scripts” design to be used. Our
experts will take it from there.
Training & Mentoring
Our instructors will prepare a training program for each level of users
in the RA7 system to ensure proper use and efficiency. We will train
relevant staff and investigators as future trainers, to ensure knowledge can
be shared easily inside your organization. Further training and mentoring
plans will be coordinated as needed.
Follow-up and support
Nemesysco and its local representatives are always happy to take your
call, work with you on new scripts and update procedures as may be
needed.

7. About LVA Technology
LVA technology is based on a proprietary set of vocal parameters found, through field & academic research, to
correlate with key human emotions and in various combinations to be able to identify deceptive intentions in
“real life” scenarios. These vocal parameters were identified from a large repository of audio files captured in
different languages and a numerous life situations, from police interrogations, through contact centers to controlled
experiments. Many of the parameters Nemesysco’s technology uses are new to the world of phonetics, and focus
on the uncontrolled and, as yet, phonetically unexplained properties of the human voice.
LVA is a security-level technology designed to serve professional investigators in their line of work, by providing
indications that further directs the investigation procedure to the relevant path. LVA analyses can be performed
in real-time (using a microphone or on a telephone conversation) as well as off-line on previously recorded
material. RA7 system is using the LVA technology in a highly controlled manner using scripted conversations,
which enables the system to “understand” what emotional reactions are expected in each part of the call (as well
as which emotional reactions are not).
Legal note
Fraud detection using LVA technology has been found to be effective in reducing unlawful claims and deter
fraudsters; however, this kind of testing should only be performed in accordance with the pertinent local laws
and regulations.
Please consult with your legal advisors for the applicable regulations and implementation necessities.
