Locking down server and workstation operating systemsBen Rothke
The document discusses approaches to securing systems when rapid patching is not possible. It recommends implementing network segmentation, monitoring technologies, and user access controls to shield vulnerable systems that cannot be patched quickly. While patching is important, it is not a panacea, and targeted attacks use other vectors beyond exploiting unpatched vulnerabilities. A proactive application security program integrated into the development lifecycle can help mitigate issues before exploits are found. When patching is truly not possible, additional defenses like host-based IPS, firewalls, and encryption should be used to minimize risk.
SecureIoT MVI use case pitch presentationMariza Konidi
SecureIoT is a project that aims to increase supply chain resilience through continuous monitoring of operational technology systems. It uses independent observer devices to detect attacks, errors, and abnormal machine behavior early. The devices monitor process data using security analytics and machine learning to identify anomalies. SecureIoT also facilitates secure access and automated configuration audits to help maintain security and prevent infection transmission between machines. Its goal is to help protect against slow, targeted attacks on manufacturing systems and their supply chains.
Secure your workloads with microsegmentationRasool Irfan
The document discusses the future of cyber security and securing workloads in hybrid and multi-cloud environments. It notes challenges around evolving threats, security operations, and compliance.

IRJET- Data Security in Local Network through Distributed Firewalls: A ReviewIRJET Journal
This document discusses distributed firewalls as an improvement over conventional firewalls. Distributed firewalls secure networks by protecting endpoints with individual firewall policies that are centrally managed. They overcome issues with conventional firewalls, which rely on network topology and single entry points. The document outlines the architecture of distributed firewalls, which consists of a management center that creates and distributes security policies to policy actuators on endpoints. These actuators enforce the policies and communicate with the management center. Distributed firewalls use policy languages, distribution schemes, and IPSec to securely manage and enforce individualized firewall policies throughout networks in a scalable way.

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.
Cosa hanno in comune un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ?Speck&Tech
ABSTRACT: A prima vista, un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ potrebbero avere in comune il fatto di essere entrambi blocchi di costruzione, o dipendenze di progetti creativi e software. La realtà è che un mattoncino Lego e il caso della backdoor XZ hanno molto di più di tutto ciò in comune.

HCL Notes and Domino License Cost Reduction in the World of DLAUpanagenda
Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away

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.
