Beyond Accidental Data Leakage is a company that provides services to help identify, minimize, and manage security threats from data leakage. They conducted a survey of over 200,000 hours of user activity and found that most data theft occurred through mobile devices, webmail, removable media, and web applications. Their findings showed that existing security policies were not being implemented or enforced by companies. They recommend prevention steps like implementing a data classification scheme, security awareness training, defensive monitoring measures, and enforcing policies to help combat accidental and intentional data leakage.
According to the document, reported database thefts increased 37% from 2011 to the previous year. The document discusses how personal identity data has become a commodity that is bought and sold online. As the value of this data has decreased over time, the number of databases and amount of personal data collected has dramatically increased, fueling more database thefts. The document provides examples of how easily databases can be accessed without authorization, examines the profile of most database thieves, and provides best practices for database security to help prevent further theft.

This document provides an introduction to discrete probability and some key concepts:
- Probability distributions assign probabilities to outcomes in a finite sample space. The probabilities of all outcomes must sum to 1.
- Events are subsets of the sample space, and their probability is the sum of the probabilities of the outcomes they contain.
- Random variables are functions that map outcomes to random outcomes in another set. They induce a probability distribution on the range.
- Independence means the joint probability of two events or random variables is the product of their individual probabilities.
- The XOR of two strings performs bitwise addition modulo 2. XORing a value with a random string yields a random result.
- The birthday paradox shows that the

Protection against Lost or Stolen Data with Novell ZENworks Endpoint Security...Novell
Laptops and mobile devices—carrying more business-critical data than ever before—are frequently the target of theft or accidental loss. And with a host of removable media devices connecting to networks every day, keeping your data safe has never been more important. In this session we'll discuss the capabilities Novell ZENworks Endpoint Security Management provides to do just that. You'll learn about the product's unique file and folder-based encryption (with advanced data encryption key management), removable storage device controls, USB device controls, and other features designed to protect data residing on lost or stolen devices.
This document summarizes a talk given by Weston Hecker on his new open source anti-malware software called Skimbad. Hecker has over 11 years experience in security research and penetration testing. Skimbad aims to stop credit card data exfiltration by malware by generating fake credit card numbers that will make any batches of stolen numbers unusable. The software works by monitoring memory for credit card numbers and replacing real numbers with randomized fake numbers on the point-of-sale system before the data can be sent to a server by malware. Hecker believes this approach could be built into all point-of-sale systems to help prevent credit card data breaches.
The document summarizes poor man's network espionage devices and tactics that could be used by attackers. It describes small, low-cost devices like the Linksys WRT54G router, Nokia 770 phone, and Gumstix and PicoTux mini-computers that run Linux and can be used to conduct network attacks. These network espionage devices are hard to detect forensically since they use ephemeral filesystems in RAM. The document also provides examples of how these devices could be concealed on a target's network and used to conduct wireless and Bluetooth attacks, establish covert communication channels, and passively sniff network traffic. Countermeasures discussed include knowing network devices and traffic, user education, security policies, and
E-commerce is thriving but faces many challenges. Standardization, trust, business-to-business transactions, and intellectual property protection present open research questions.

Digital evidence and the information security managerBradley Schatz
This document discusses digital evidence and forensic readiness for information security managers. It begins by defining digital evidence and noting that deleted information can often be retrieved from hard drives, backups, and other locations. It then explains why organizations should prepare for producing digital evidence to address risks like data breaches, workplace misconduct, and litigation. The document outlines strategies for increasing an organization's forensic readiness, such as logging file access, network traffic, and transient events. It also discusses challenges of forensic readiness including issues related to data privacy, destruction, and access. The document concludes by addressing current challenges like cloud computing and the need for provenance of preserved evidence.
The document provides an overview of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). It discusses what PCI compliance is and why it is important. It outlines the goals and 12 requirements of the PCI DSS, including building a secure network, protecting cardholder data, maintaining vulnerability management, access control measures, monitoring networks, and maintaining an information security policy. It also discusses how to achieve and maintain compliance to avoid fines. The document provides information on PCI compliance requirements, processes, policies, controls, project management, and key messages around PCI.
PCI stands for “Payment Card Industry”. which is comprised of representatives from the major card brands (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, JCB etc.) who came together to set minimum security requirements for protecting cardholder data.
To achieve this, they wrote a framework of security controls known as the PCI DSS. They wrote a number of other directives but this is the main one that applies to the majority of businesses.
The PCI DSS consists of six goals, 12 requirements and 286 controls and must be implemented by any business that processes, stores or transmits credit or debit card holder data. The requirement for PCI DSS compliance is stated in your agreement with the bank that issues you a merchant identification. Your business is required to certify compliance to your bank upon achieving it and annually thereafter. The banks report your compliance to the PCI SCC and can issues fines for non-compliance.

Risk Factory: Inside the Mind of a HackerRisk Crew
The document summarizes the mindset of a hacker. It states that if a hacker can run their programs or upload files to a network or website, access data, make changes to devices, access partner networks, use the network to launch attacks, or access stored data, then that network, website, data, devices, or partner network is no longer controlled by its owners. The hacker believes employees can be manipulated and that there are always ways to gain access. The hacker's goal is to assert control over systems faster and more intelligently than the systems' rightful owners.
Most attacks and breaches occur at the application level and are reported by third parties. The time to fix a breach has increased 130% over the last two years, and on average hackers are inside a network for 243 days before being discovered.

Risk Factory: Modems the Forgotten Back DoorRisk Crew
This document discusses the risks of unauthorized modem access, known as "dial-in" and "dial-out" access, within organizations. It notes that while firewalls aim to protect from internet threats, unauthorized modems can often provide an easier route for hackers to access internal networks. The document outlines how phreakers in the past would use war dialing to find open modems and details the functions and risks of dial-in and dial-out modem access. It provides perspectives on the scale of the dial-in threat and recommends ways for organizations to manage these risks, such as monitoring outbound calls, restricting unauthorized access, and enforcing security policies.
The document provides tips on how to steal someone's identity, including going through their mail, trash, or purchasing personal information from databases. It notes that identity theft is difficult to detect and stop, and that stolen identities can be used to open credit cards and bank accounts.

Risk Factory: The State of Electronic EavesdroppingRisk Crew
Over $900 million of illegal eavesdropping equipment is imported into the US each year, while $500 million of legal equipment is purchased, targeting confidential information, trade secrets, and financial data. Electronic eavesdropping is a commonly used industrial espionage technique due to the low risk of getting caught and high reward potential. Devices can be concealed anywhere and are hard to detect, ranging from wired microphones to wireless transmitters to laser-based systems. Proper security measures include screening for devices, restricting phones in sensitive areas, conducting sweeps for bugs, and educating employees about electronic threats.
