Don't Panic. Making Progress on the 'Going Dark' DebateFabio Chiusi
The document summarizes a report by the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University on the debate around government access to encrypted communications and data. The report finds that while encryption technologies are making some surveillance more difficult, communications will neither be completely obscured nor fully transparent. End-to-end encryption is unlikely to be adopted ubiquitously as companies rely on access to user data. Metadata and data from networked devices may enable alternative forms of surveillance. The trends raise novel privacy and security challenges as today's debate does not consider the full technological landscape.

CASE STUDY There is a new phenomenon in the cybersecurity domain ca.pdfkostikjaylonshaewe47
CASE STUDY: There is a new phenomenon in the cybersecurity domain called: “Bring Your
Own Device (BYOD)” where employees can bring their personal devices at work and connect
using the Wi-Fi to the organization’s network. Many employers are allowing their employees to
use their personal mobile device for enterprise functions such as corporate email, work
applications, etc. While this may save the company costs, the organization’s network remains
vulnerable. A company can only monitor so much that’s on an employee personal device;
Assess the threats, the vulnerabilities, and the impacts on an organization’s information systems
posed by the use of mobile devices at work. What can be done to fix it at the policy level,
technology level, and infrastructure level?
Solution
Employees aren\'t just bringing their mobile devices to the workplace — they\'re living on them.
A 2015 study by Bank of America found that 55 percent of respondents sleep with their
smartphones on their nightstands to avoid missing a call, text message or other update during the
night. The devices are also the first thing on their minds in the morning: while 10 percent
reported thinking of their significant other, 35 percent reserved their first thought of the day for
their smartphone.
As smartphones and tablets become constant companions, cyber attackers are using every avenue
available to break into them. Many people expect that iPhone or Android devices are secure by
default, when in reality it is up to the user to make security configuration changes. With the right
(inexpensive) equipment, hackers can gain access to a nearby mobile device in less than 30
seconds and either mirror the device and see everything on it, or install malware that will enable
them to siphon data from it at their leisure.
The nature and types of cyber attacks are evolving rapidly, and mobile devices have become a
critical part of enterprise cyber-security efforts with good reason. Analysts predict that by 2018,
25 percent of corporate data will completely bypass perimeter security and flow directly from
mobile devices to the cloud.
Chief information security officers (CISOs) and other security executives are finding that the
proliferation of mobile devices and cloud services present a significant barrier to effective breach
response. In order to secure the corporate data passing through or residing on mobile devices, it
is imperative to fully understand the issues they present.
5 Security Risks and a Surprising Challenge
The threat and attack vectors for mobile devices are largely composed of retargeted versions of
attacks aimed at other endpoint devices. These risks can be categorized into five areas.
1. Physical access
Mobile devices are small, easily portable and extremely lightweight. While their diminutive size
makes them ideal travel companions, it also makes them easy to steal or leave behind in airports,
airplanes or taxicabs. As with more traditional devices, physical access to a mobile devi.
Microsoft DATA Protection To Put secure.jayceewong1
1) Protecting data is a team effort that requires vigilance from everyone in a company. Small mistakes by employees handling data can lead to major security breaches and data loss if proper procedures are not followed.
2) Data exists in many forms and is constantly moving throughout a company and shared with third parties. It needs to be properly classified and its movement controlled to avoid leaks and hacking.
3) Individual employees should be aware of common phishing techniques and how to properly label, handle, and transmit sensitive company data according to security policies.
The document discusses information security and analyzes its importance. It describes key aspects of information security like confidentiality, integrity and availability. It also outlines some common threats to information security such as computer viruses, theft, sabotage and vandalism. The document then analyzes some challenges to effective information security, including employees being fooled by scams, issues with authentication, and the growing threat of phishing. It emphasizes the importance of addressing security concerns to build trust with customers and gain a competitive advantage.

This document is a Dell whitepaper about using big data for security. It discusses how big data allows organizations to analyze large, complex datasets to better monitor security threats in a more proactive way. Specifically, big data can be used to monitor network traffic patterns, identify insider threats, track BYOD device usage, correlate job-based behaviors, and protect intellectual property by monitoring for improper usage both internally and externally. The whitepaper argues that big data provides a way for organizations to continuously monitor data sources and identify unexpected patterns that could indicate security risks or policy violations.
1) Data security is a major issue for companies in 2015 as criminals organize themselves across borders to steal valuable company data. 2) To effectively counter criminal attacks, companies need to deploy intelligent solutions to identify patterns and connections between incidents that traditional tools like Excel cannot do. 3) Collecting all relevant security data in a centralized database and using tools to analyze relationships between suspicious events, individuals, and companies can help uncover criminal networks that cause damage over long periods.

However, with the rise in risks and cyber vulnerability, most businesses find it difficult to keep up with the competition. Since their inception, most companies have reported 16% fraud, 37.7% financial losses, and an average of over 11% share value loss, according to data compiled by the US security. Most corporations and governments are working hard to keep their customers and residents safe from harm. There are both physical and cybersecurity risks involved with these threats. According to a recent study, many company owners aren't aware of the full scope of cybersecurity. People who own their businesses must deal with various issues daily.
Nevertheless, steps are being taken to address these issues. Customers and the company are likely to be protected by the measures adopted. Cybersecurity is one of the most pressing issues facing organizations today. Leaks of a company's intellectual property and other secrets may have devastating effects on its operations, as competitors and rivals will do all in their power to stop them. is an excellent illustration of this. This is perhaps the most talked-about security compromise of the year [footnoteRef:3]. The firm was severely damaged because of this.
