How Data Loss Prevention End-Point Agents Use HPE IDOL’s Comprehensive Data C...Dana Gardner
Transcript of a discussion on how cybersecurity attacks are on the rise but new capabilities are being brought to the edge to provide for better data loss prevention.
Protecting Your Privacy: Cyberspace Security, Real World SafetyAEGILITY
Carpe Diem Strategic Services (CDSS), a veteran owned service-disabled business that offers education and training which addresses threats to digital communications and online privacy.
Their mission is to assist individuals, families, and small businesses to understand, identify, and reduce threats and vulnerabilities that expose their business, financial, intellectual property, and sensitive personal data to potential exploitation and risk.
(Presentation, slides, and content created by AEGILITY)
The document discusses how market research needs are evolving with advances in AI. It notes that all companies are becoming tech companies and research must move from reactive to proactive using tools like predictive analytics and anomaly detection. It outlines the different data sources, modalities, and skillsets needed. Key points are that research organizations need to externalize their domain expertise so machines can learn, develop capabilities across various data types, and create closed-loop data ecosystems that leverage existing knowledge and surface new insights. This involves building out centralized data lakes, modeling methods, and connecting elements into complex data products and solutions.
Digital Ethnography and IoT: Curiously Cognitive Computers in RetailMike Courtney
Researchers at Aperio Insights have developed new methods of “Digital Ethnography” (the science of consumer observation) to sense and detect patterns of behavior in real time with more attention to detail than a human.
Aperio is using IoT platforms to merge the various data streams and develop algorithms that can predict the reactions consumers will have to layout changes, dynamic messages and offers. The platform has features that can also help influence consumer behavior while still in the store.
For millennia people have been travelling to stadia to watch and participate in spectacles of pure brutality and sport sponsored by kings, emperors, states, individuals. Today sport and other entertainment events have become a major global business sector with executive facilities, commercial sponsorship, broadcast and full media coverage. But, in many respects, the crowds and their experience has changed little. However, technology is impacting this situation and looks set to accelerate the rate of change.
In a similar manner to the airline business; the few pay around 80% of the costs, whilst the many fulfil the 20% or so. All the attention is lavished on the few and the many are neglected and remain a latent opportunity. The technologies of communication, networking, apps, Big and Meta Data can change all this by creating a ‘market of one’. Satisfying the needs of every individual and every group should be pursued as it leads to a world of new services and ‘pre-selling’.
The technological opportunities are endless with augmented reality able to furnish a view from every angle to mobile devices and wearables supported by real time details, data and statistics. Clouds and ‘networks without infrastructure’ can overcome the limitations of 3, 4, 5G and wifi systems that will never satisfy the need for growing customer connectivity and bandwidth. They can also help solve entry congestion and simultaneously support security and vending operations. Branded mobile devices with pre-loaded apps are also an obvious step towards the creation of ‘The Club’ identity and ‘belonging’ that goes way beyond the latest strip, scarves and hats etc with far more kudos than a gold card!
“On a grand scale this all involves Big Data, but for a ‘market of one’ it is the Meta Data that counts - that is where the opportunity and the $$$ reside”
All of this comes at a price of management and operational change! Embracing the new takes a positive mind and considerable energy in the face of day to day operations, but the workforce and the customer base is also changing fast with the old and old of mind being replaced by the young and young of mind. The tech savvy are on the move and making up an increasing proportion of society - and the trick is to leverage their knowledge and abilities at every level possible.
“Change is inevitable and accelerating - and you have to decide to be a driver or a victim”
Will there be an IT Risk Management 2.0?Luke O'Connor
This document summarizes a presentation by Dr. Luke O'Connor on IT risk management. It discusses the challenges of identifying important vulnerabilities, valuing assets, and judging the effectiveness of security controls. It also addresses questions around password expiry policies and different approaches to IT risk management, including traditional security approaches versus risk-based approaches. Finally, it questions whether IT professionals can effectively conduct risk management and discusses how IT risk activities are often swallowed by compliance or operational risk frameworks instead of directly supporting decision making.
The document argues that technology is evil for several reasons: it promotes laziness, over-reliance on technology is harmful, and some inventions have dangerous unintended consequences. It also claims that technology negatively impacts health, privacy, youth, and wastes time. Examples are given of how devices like home entertainment systems, online services, and GPS enable indolence and reliance on technology over physical activity or human interaction. The privacy of personal information and data is increasingly at risk due to internet use and monitoring devices/practices. Too much technology is believed to contribute to issues like obesity, depression, and stress among youth.
As we all know, 2020 has been a particularly unique year due to COVID. Some people are quarantined at home with loved ones. Others are alone. Some are even starting to go back to work depending on where they are in the world.
Technology has become more important than ever this year because it’s keeping people connected. Particularly during the holiday season, it’s important to find ways to see loved ones even if you can in person.

Data & Privacy: Striking the Right Balance - Jonny LeroyThoughtworks
The document discusses balancing data and privacy in technology. It notes that while more data allows for better products and loyalty, privacy concerns are increasing. It argues companies should be transparent about data practices, avoid being incompetent with security, and not act in creepy ways with customer data. An ethical approach is suggested, treating data as a fair exchange between companies and customers.

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:

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.
