The UK is one of the world’s leading
digital nations. Much of our prosperity
now depends on our ability to secure our
technology, data and networks from the
many threats we face.
Yet cyber attacks are growing more
frequent, sophisticated and damaging when
they succeed. So we are taking decisive
action to protect both our economy and the
privacy of UK citizens.
Our National Cyber Security Strategy sets out
our plan to make Britain confident, capable
and resilient in a fast-moving digital world.
Over the lifetime of this five-year strategy,
we will invest £1.9 billion in defending
our systems and infrastructure, deterring
our adversaries, and developing a wholesociety
capability – from the biggest
companies to the individual citizen.
From the most basic cyber hygiene, to the
most sophisticated deterrence, we need a
comprehensive response.
We will focus on raising the cost of
mounting an attack against anyone in the
UK, both through stronger defences and
better cyber skills. This is no longer just
an issue for the IT department but for the
whole workforce. Cyber skills need to reach
into every profession.
The new National Cyber Security Centre will
provide a hub of world-class, user-friendly
expertise for businesses and individuals, as
well as rapid response to major incidents.
Government has a clear leadership role,
but we will also foster a wider commercial
ecosystem, recognising where industry
can innovate faster than us. This includes
a drive to get the best young minds into
cyber security.
The cyber threat impacts the whole of our
society, so we want to make very clear
that everyone has a part to play in our
national response. It’s why this strategy is
an unprecedented exercise in transparency.
We can no longer afford to have this
discussion behind closed doors.
Ultimately, this is a threat that cannot be
completely eliminated. Digital technology
works because it is open, and that
openness brings with it risk. What we
can do is reduce the threat to a level that
ensures we remain at the vanguard of the
digital revolution. This strategy sets out how.

CYBER PEACE PROPOSAL
Running head: CYBER PEACE
CYBER PEACE2
Introduction
The ubiquitous use of the internet for a myriad of purposes has made the internet the most targeted platform for cyber threats and cybercrimes on both individuals and organizations. The impacts of the cyber-crime is so well established. Companies have lost millions of money, internet users committed suicide or plunged into chronic mental conditions as well lives lost through the terrorist conspiracies of the internet (Reich et al., 2012). For this reason, cyber space becomes a quite important for the safety of countries and individuals around the globe. The issue discussed regarding cyber peace is that there is no Genera convention that addresses the cybercrime as propagated through the internet. Despite the rampant rummage of groups on the internet, there lacks infrastructure that addresses cyber peace conducted by the Geneva Convention.
Background
Until recently, the internet and all its users made a small community that exploited the various functionalities of the internet. However, with the increase in the usage of the internet, there has been a spate in the cybercrimes executed over the internet. As it stands, there are about 2 million people using the internet, and none of them has the level of internet security that can secure them from cybercrime. In the bid to address the issue of cyber peace, the interdependence between countries to face the issue has been focused on (Eriksson & Giacomello, 2007). The interdependence between technologically developed and technologically developing states is the first angle from which the issue can be tackled. States have not yet come to terms with the severe implications of cyber peace. Due to this, there lacks that collaborative effort to ensure the efforts are streamlined towards establishing cyber peace.
The Geneva Convention that legislates policies on warfare across the actors is now being glared at to provide solutions aligned to cybercrime. This is in line with the ways in which the Geneva Convention mobilizes countries for the sake of participation in peace keeping. The path to cyber peace is however crippled because of lack of co-operation. The states lack the knowledge of what constitutes cyber-attacks, cyber terrorism and so forth. Therefore, the countries’ security department have for a long time taken a backseat, waiting for the internet developers to design ways to secure users. This has not been very fruitful especially with the up surge in cybercrimes. The most that most of the countries have done is to have national policies addressing the issue of cyber security. The level of implementation of the polices is highly questionable and no specific party has been assigned the duty to ensure cyber peace prevails.
On the international co-operative perspective, cyber peace as an issue has always remained in the periphery of the security talks. The states retaliating for cyber-attacks seems to be the m.
Cyber Diplomacy: Defining the Opportunities for Cybersecurity and Risks from Artificial Intelligence, IoT, Blockchains, and Quantum Computing
-- One of the main benefits of cyber intelligence sharing is the access to shared threat intelligence
Sharing threat intelligence on time allows for a faster and more effective reaction to cyber incidents, limiting the potential impact and minimising damage
Cyber threat intelligence sharing encourages a collaborative approach to cybersecurity, boosting collective defence efforts among organisations and nations
Sharing threat intelligence allows organisations to learn from each other's experiences, resulting in skill growth and enhanced knowledge in cybersecurity
Sharing cyber threat intelligence supports public-private cooperation, combining the skills and resources of both sectors to effectively tackle cyber threats
-- Cyber threat intelligence frequently originates in a variety of formats and patterns, making it challenging to consolidate and analyse data across several organisations efficiently.
-- CISCP is a United States government effort that promotes information sharing between federal agencies and private-sector organisations in order to improve cybersecurity
One ongoing academic effort is the Global Cyber Security Capacity Centre at the University of Oxford
GCSCC is a cybersecurity capacity-building centre, advocating an increase in the global scale, pace, quality, and impact of cybersecurity capacity-building activities.
-- Overcoming geopolitical tensions in cyber discussions is a difficult and delicate endeavour, but it is critical for developing international collaboration and effectively combating cyber threats
-- Diplomatic efforts should be directed towards identifying common ground and areas of mutual interest in cybersecurity
-- Creating avenues for regular communication and discussion can help nations create trust and understanding
-- Cyber diplomacy needs to be focused on encouraging joint research initiatives, cyber threat information exchange, and collaborative efforts to strengthen cybersecurity capabilities to build bridges and foster collaboration
Nations can collaborate to develop rules that improve cybersecurity while discouraging malevolent behaviour.
-- Several future developments are anticipated to affect the landscape of cyber diplomacy as the field of cybersecurity evolves
These developments will have a substantial impact on international cooperation, policy, and responses to growing cyber threats
One of the anticipated future trends is the emergence of international cyber norms
The creation of internationally recognised cyber norms will gain traction
Nations will work more closely together to develop common principles and standards guiding responsible state behaviour in cyberspace
Nations will need to address concerns such as AI ethics, the possible threats of autonomous cyber systems, and the development of rules for the appropriate use of AI in cyber operations.

Cyber Diplomacy: Defining the Opportunities for Cybersecurity and Risks from Artificial Intelligence, IoT, Blockchains, and Quantum Computing
Abstract: Cyber diplomacy is critical in dealing with the digital era's evolving cybersecurity dangers and possibilities. This article investigates the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), Blockchains, and Quantum Computing on cyber diplomacy. AI holds the potential for proactive threat identification and response, while IoT enables international information sharing. Blockchains enable secure data sharing and document verification, but they also pose new threats, such as AI-driven cyber-attacks, IoT privacy breaches, blockchain vulnerabilities, and the potential for quantum computing to break encryption. This article conducts case study reviews in combination with secondary data analysis and emphasises the value of international cooperation in developing global norms and frameworks to control responsible technology adoption. Cyber diplomacy can promote cybersecurity, protect national interests, and foster mutual trust among nations in the digital sphere by capitalising on possibilities and reducing threats.

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.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

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.

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).
