The IT Auditing Series is a series of 10 2-hour webinars.
The study program consists of 5 modules Basic and 5 modules Advanced spanning a broad range of topics and issues in the IT Auditing field. The emphasis in all webinars is therefore on practical aspects, of Internal Auditing.
The course content is based upon ISACA Framework which has been accepted world-wide as the basis of skills and competencies required for all IT Auditors.
This session covers IT Fraud and Countermeasures
As stated in the Institute of Internal Auditors IPPF, “The internal audit activity must evaluate the potential for the occurrence of fraud and how the organization manages fraud risk (2120.A2)”.
How is your auditing function meeting this professional expectation? The time to test fraud controls is before you have a fraud. Testing fraud controls is more commonly referred to as an “anti-fraud” assessment and is typically conducted by auditors as a consulting service. How long has it been since a comprehensive review was conducted at your organization? Once completed, as the company changes over time, sections of the first review should be updated.
This webinar will cover:
· How strong are your controls?
· Are you looking for fraud or is fraud looking for you?
· The time to detect directly impacts the chances of recovery
· Shell Vendors uncovered made the headlines in 2016
· Looking for signs of complacency in the workplace
· A robust organizational COSO based framework that organizes your work from cradle to grave
· Working paper and check list recommendations
· Actual audit report sample (with author identification removed)

Webinar Presentation: Enhancing AML Compliance Regimes in MSB SectorsSecurefact
There has been a lot of debate in the media on the extent of the money service business (MSB) sectors’ adaptation and adherence to creating a solid compliance regime with respect to AML/CTF regulations. Many banks have decided to end long-term relationships with the MSB sector, refuse to open bank accounts for businesses that fall into FINTRAC’s/FinCEN’s definition of a MSB, or have adopted de-risking strategies to manage perceived compliance MSB risks. This webinar will provide further insight into MSB-sector issues such as unique compliance challenges and solutions when finding and retaining banking services, as well as implementing risk-based practices.

Data security, privacy protection, and information governance are inextricably linked to the attorney-client relationship. Lawyers must overcome their aversion to technology and understand that protecting data is not just the IT department’s responsibility, but theirs as well, as lawyers are stewards of their own, their clients’, and their firms’ data.
Learn insights and tips on how to better understand the data security environment from a lawyers’ perspective and how you can best communicate to clients the need for secure information governance. You’ll be prepared to answer the following questions that are being asked by corporate counsel and other prospective clients:

Corporate Treasurers Focus on Cyber SecurityJoan Weber
Treasury departments at large U.S. companies rank IT security as their top priority for 2015 - ahead of such critical issues as cost management and regulatory/compliance challenges.
These finding come from the results Greenwich Associates 2014 U.S. Large Corporate Finance Study, for which the firm interviewed CFOs or treasury department representatives at more than 500 large U.S. companies.
The study results suggest that U.S. companies are taking action to address security concerns and other IT issues with 63% of the participants saying their treasury departments will increase technology spending in the year ahead.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

Up the Ratios Bylaws - a Comprehensive Process of Our Organizationuptheratios
Up the Ratios is a non-profit organization dedicated to bridging the gap in STEM education for underprivileged students by providing free, high-quality learning opportunities in robotics and other STEM fields. Our mission is to empower the next generation of innovators, thinkers, and problem-solvers by offering a range of educational programs that foster curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.
At Up the Ratios, we believe that every student, regardless of their socio-economic background, should have access to the tools and knowledge needed to succeed in today's technology-driven world. To achieve this, we host a variety of free classes, workshops, summer camps, and live lectures tailored to students from underserved communities. Our programs are designed to be engaging and hands-on, allowing students to explore the exciting world of robotics and STEM through practical, real-world applications.
Our free classes cover fundamental concepts in robotics, coding, and engineering, providing students with a strong foundation in these critical areas. Through our interactive workshops, students can dive deeper into specific topics, working on projects that challenge them to apply what they've learned and think creatively. Our summer camps offer an immersive experience where students can collaborate on larger projects, develop their teamwork skills, and gain confidence in their abilities.
In addition to our local programs, Up the Ratios is committed to making a global impact. We take donations of new and gently used robotics parts, which we then distribute to students and educational institutions in other countries. These donations help ensure that young learners worldwide have the resources they need to explore and excel in STEM fields. By supporting education in this way, we aim to nurture a global community of future leaders and innovators.
Our live lectures feature guest speakers from various STEM disciplines, including engineers, scientists, and industry professionals who share their knowledge and experiences with our students. These lectures provide valuable insights into potential career paths and inspire students to pursue their passions in STEM.
Up the Ratios relies on the generosity of donors and volunteers to continue our work. Contributions of time, expertise, and financial support are crucial to sustaining our programs and expanding our reach. Whether you're an individual passionate about education, a professional in the STEM field, or a company looking to give back to the community, there are many ways to get involved and make a difference.
We are proud of the positive impact we've had on the lives of countless students, many of whom have gone on to pursue higher education and careers in STEM. By providing these young minds with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed, we are not only changing their futures but also contributing to the advancement of technology and innovation on a broader scale.

Labeling ransomware as the top threat creates a false narrative
Ransomware is usually coupled with other acts and just the most visible part of the attack
These days, ransomware is coupled with data exfiltration
Resuming operations is just the first step
Legal and business ramifications of a data breach can persist

Overall an emphasis on visibility, own-network understanding, and being able to correlate events together to identify suspicious patterns of activity can succeed in identifying even the most complex supply chain attacks post-breach. Although attackers may still gain initial footholds within networks, being able to dramatically reduce adversary dwell time is a significant improvement over what many organizations impacted by this SolarWinds event will experience in the coming weeks.
Capture information about a newly-seen, unfamiliar domain in network traffic.
Leverage internal data sources and continuous DNS monitoring.
Monitoring for new, unique, or abnormal network connections can identify C2 communication schema.
Proper asset classification which identifies specific hosts or host-type (e.g., “server” instead of “end-user client”) can further differentiate communication to identify items of concern.
Similar classification can also work to identify unusual authentication activity, where servers (such as a SolarWinds Orion device) initiate logons to other clients instead of the reverse.
