Most organizations view PCI as a punishment rather than a means of strengthening their security posture. But once these organizations make peace with PCI and embrace it, they create positive value within their organization. PCI not only unlocks security budgets, but provides a framework for security best practices that minimize security risks and costs associated with data breaches.
In this webcast moderated by Cindy Valladares, Compliance Solutions Manager at Tripwire, John Kindervag, Senior Analyst at Forrester Research, Inc. discusses:
Common misperceptions about PCI
Why PCI compliance does not guarantee security
The value of using PCI as a security framework
How you can begin using PCI as a security framework

Developing Metrics for Information Security Governancedigitallibrary
Information security has become a critical issue within organizations, and a key success factor for businesses. To effectively maintain the integrity and security of an organization's information infrastructure effective security metrics and measures must be developed, implemented and monitored. Learn about enterprise security metrics and the concepts that must be considered when developing, implementing, and monitoring them. Understand how to identify measurable points and activities, develop meaningful metrics and measures and monitor concepts. Case studies and scenarios demonstrate operational scenarios for the benefits and challenges of securing information.
Compliance IT projects we have to do them but no one is happy with the cost. The first step in managing the cost of IT compliance is to understand the drives. Within Information Services at the University of Edinburgh we've found using the following categories for analysing IT compliance.
This single slide identifes and defines our three main compliance categories - LEGISLATIVE, TECHNOLOGY and SECURITY. The slide also suggests who will be involved in making the decision as whether the project genuinely is needed for compliance within each category.
Summary: To have positive authority upon Information Security is one of the goals every organization should achieve. A CISO (Chief Information Security Officer) is the responsible person in the company who should protect the business from the IT infrastructure. CISO will lead a security professional team which will take care of all the security components within an IT infrastructure.
Presenter: This week’s presenter will be our partner Mr. Daniel Robles, President of Cyborg Consulting, a company involved with Information and Cyber Security consulting, training, auditing and coaching. He is an experienced trainer and consultant with more than 20 professional certificates gained from credible institutions.
Josh Corman, Research Director, Enterprise Security Practice, is often known for his deep insights into and candid discussions about the state of enterprise security and the variables and trends that impact it. Listen as Josh discusses how and why PCI compliance has affected the state of security-specifically, the impact of approaching PCI as a checklist. He also gives ideas for what we need to do, and the types of solutions we need to have to not only satisfy the PCI audit, but to also provide real system security. Josh discusses this in an informal back and forth format with Gene Kim, Tripwire co-Founder and CTO.
In this webcast, you'll learn:
How compliance introduced cost complexity by causing a divergence between what we need to do to pass an audit versus avert threats.
The fallacy that being PCI compliance means you're secure.
Controls that both help you pass your PCI audit while also deterring advanced threats.
How Tripwire VIA solutions provide that rare combination of controls that address both compliance and security.
It’s big. It’s bigger than you think. On January 1, 2015, the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) version 3.0 becomes the global PCI audit standard.
In this webinar, PCI QSA Jeff Hall shares the biggest gotchas that he’s encountered while working with clients.
Key insights will include:
• How will auditors’ requirements increase notably?
• What are the foreseeable problem hot spots?
• Why won't steps for passing PCI 2.0 cut it for 3.0?
You’ll also get a helpful checklist for 3.0 late starters!

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.

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.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Editor's Notes
Many organizations have file integrity monitoring, log management and even event management solutions in place.But the average time it takes these same organizations to discover that a breach has occurred is months.During that time their critical data and infrastructure is at risk of compromise—if it has not already been compromised.There is an industry-wide problem: The time it takes to discover breaches is far too long and it needs to be shortened.
The cost of this time delay is enormous.These organizations not only suffer monetarily, their “mojo” is also badly damaged.They loose shareholder trust and value.Their name remains in the press and presentation like this for a very long time.
Automated help is needed to enable these organizations to more quickly know their data is at risk due to a breach activity.They need to close the breach to discover time gap.
