It addresses common problems with data pipelines such as inconsistent data, schema mismatches, and missing data. Quilt packages data with metadata, versions, and schemas to ensure reproducibility and catch errors early. It aims to bring software engineering principles like testing to data management to facilitate collaboration and catch problems before running expensive pipelines.
PRIVACY PRESERVING DATA MINING BASED ON VECTOR QUANTIZATION ijdms
Huge Volumes of detailed personal data is continuously collected and analyzed by different types of
applications using data mining, analysing such data is beneficial to the application users. It is an important
asset to application users like business organizations, governments for taking effective decisions. But
analysing such data opens treats to privacy if not done properly. This work aims to reveal the information
by protecting sensitive data. Various methods including Randomization, k-anonymity and data hiding have
been suggested for the same. In this work, a novel technique is suggested that makes use of LBG design
algorithm to preserve the privacy of data along with compression of data. Quantization will be performed
on training data it will produce transformed data set. It provides individual privacy while allowing
extraction of useful knowledge from data, Hence privacy is preserved. Distortion measures are used to
analyze the accuracy of transformed data.

Active Data : Managing Data-Life Cycle on Heterogeneous Systems and Infrastructures
The Big Data challenge consists in managing, storing, analyzing and visualizing these huge and ever growing data sets to extract sense and knowledge. As the volume of data grows exponentially, the management of these data becomes more complex in proportion.
A key point is to handle the complexity of the 'Data Life Cycle', i.e. the various operations performed on data: transfer, archiving, replication, deletion, etc. Indeed, data-intensive applications span over a large variety of devices and e-infrastructures which implies that many systems are involved in data management and processing.
''Active Data'' is new approach to automate and improve the expressiveness of data management applications. It consists of
* a 'formal model' for Data Life Cycle, based on Petri Net, that allows to describe and expose data life cycle across heterogeneous systems and infrastructures.
* a 'programming model' allows code execution at each stage of the data life cycle: routines provided by programmers are executed when a set of events (creation, replication, transfer, deletion) happen to any data.
The document summarizes new features and improvements in recent versions of EGit, the Eclipse Git integration plugin. Key updates include performance improvements and recursive merging in 3.0, a staging view and usability enhancements in 3.1, and wizards for pushing branches and interactive rebasing in 3.2. It also discusses using JGit for faster Git operations and serving repositories, as well as upcoming planned features like merge drivers.
The document proposes an IT infrastructure for Shiv LLC, a company with locations in Los Angeles, Dallas, and Houston. It recommends implementing an Active Directory domain to enable communication and file sharing across the three locations. A centralized file server would store common files and applications. Each location would have its own local area network, connected to the other sites and to the internet via VPN. Firewalls, antivirus software, and regular backups would help secure the network and protect company data. The design allows for future growth and expansion as the company scales up.
Map camp - Why context is your crown jewels (Wardley Maps and Threat Modeling)Dinis Cruz
The document discusses using threat models and Wardley maps as a case study for the Glasswall Proxy product. It introduces the Glasswall workflow and architecture, then shifts to discussing threat models and improving an initial threat model diagram. The document suggests threat models are works of art and moves the example threat model to the PlantUML diagramming language. It explores if threat models are maps, refers to Simon Wardley's definition of maps, and how mapping can help decide what to build, buy, or outsource based on maturity and risk.
Glasswall - Safety and Integrity Through Trusted FilesDinis Cruz
The document discusses cybersecurity threats facing organizations and how traditional antivirus solutions are often unable to stop advanced malware. It introduces Glasswall's Content Disarm and Reconstruction (CDR) technology, which regenerates files to remove risks like malware while preserving file contents. CDR analyzes files at the visual, functional, and structural layers to sanitize them according to policy. This allows Glasswall to stay ahead of evolving threats unlike antivirus solutions.
Glasswall - How to Prevent, Detect and React to Ransomware incidentsDinis Cruz
The document provides guidance on how to prevent, detect, and react to ransomware incidents. For detection, it recommends techniques to gain advantage over malicious behavior during an attack, including reducing the blast radius through network segmentation, blocking propagation and detonation with endpoint protection, reducing payloads activated through user education, and preparing and rehearsing response with incident response playbooks. It also stresses the importance of incident response, situational awareness, and using incidents to improve security capabilities.

How to not fail at security data analytics (by CxOSidekick)Dinis Cruz
1. The document discusses the challenges of obtaining security-related data from different sources and transporting it to a central platform for analysis. It addresses questions about data volume, collection methods, filtering and formatting.
2. Setting up a security data pipeline involves determining what data to collect from various host systems, networks, and applications. Data must then be forwarded from collectors to a central platform while managing bandwidth, latency, and failures.
3. Collecting the right security-related data is vital for detecting threats and being able to investigate incidents. The document argues for collecting most available data by default and filtering out exceptions, rather than only collecting predefined types of data.
This document discusses how graphs can be used as a framework for problem solving and provides examples of how many different domains can be modeled as graphs, including security threat models, ideas, source code, Git repositories, the web, and Jira workflows. It also discusses how the speaker's company uses Neo4j and Jira as graph databases to model security projects and incidents.
The document announces the Open Security Summit 2018 to be held in London from June 4th to 8th. It will follow the 2017 edition of the summit and focus on collaboration around open security at a rate of 16 times per day for 5 days. The summit website is https://open-security-summit.org.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.
18. Example 1 - Merge 3 datasets
All fields from all 3 data sets
(in this case there was only one exact match on email)
19. Example 2 - Merging data loses user with different email
When Merging DF_1 with DF_3 we lose `Alan Lee` due
to different email
20. Example 3 - Fixing data before merge (version 1)
21. Lost user due to bad data in Name
Lost `Bruno Lyon`
User
Because `Name`
value is wrong
22. Example 4 - Fixing data before merge (version 2)
The merge of the two DataFrames now successfully finds
all 4 users (including Alan who has two emails)
By using email to find the first and last names values
