While document and file sharing is increasing rapidly, 97% of organizations cite file sharing as a high risk for information loss, and 75% believe their organization is currently at risk for data loss.
Countless studies have shown that cloud security is the major factor standing in the way of cloud adoption. Security is all-encompassing, referring to physical and network security, as well as compliance.
However, security in the cloud has finally turned a corner. Just as some companies currently have better in-house security than others, some cloud providers view security as a larger priority than others. What do we have to say about security? In cloud we trust!
This is an Ignite from our DevOps KC Meetup that does a quick run through of the 'New View'. Everyone should check out the resources on the last slide.
Call it the great Data Breach Disconnect. A recent survey of IT security executives revealed the gap between knowing about access risk and an organization’s ability to remediate that risk. For example, 97% of respondents are aware that access risk is created by misused or stolen credentials, but only 29% are confident that their organization is able to detect improper access.
Sustainability Reporting is a report published demonstrating a company’s impact on the 3 pillars of Sustainability; Economic, Environmental, and Social. It shows an organization values and demonstrates the link between its strategy and its commitment to a sustainable global economy. Sustainability reporting forces companies to gather information about impacts that may not have been measure before.

Digital Heritage Documentation Via TLS And Photogrammetry Case Studytheijes
In the last decade, several manual tradition measurement techniques were used to document the heritage buildings around the word; however, some of these techniques take a long time, often lack completeness, and may sometimes give unreliable information. In contrast, terrestrial laser scanning “TLS” surveys and Photogrammetry have already been undertaken in several heritage sites in the United Kingdom and other countries of Europe as a new method of documenting heritagesites. This paper focuses on using the TLS and Photogrammetry methods to document one of the important houses in Historic Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, which is Nasif Historical House, as an example of Digital Heritage Documentation (DHD).
In its research study, "Network Management Megatrends 2016: Hybrid Cloud, Network Analytics and the Internet of Things," leading IT analyst firm Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) surveyed 150 enterprise network management decision-makes on a wide range of topics that are affecting their daily operations. This research explores the Internet of Things, hybrid cloud networking and advanced network analytics. It also explores emerging requirements for network management tools and identifies best practices for network operations success.
Big Data has moved beyond being just a buzzword. Organizations are operationalizing various Big Data technologies to answer critical business questions and power sophisticated workloads.
Building on the success of their 2012 “Big Data Comes of Age” research report, EMA VP of Research, Shawn Rogers, EMA Senior Analyst, John Myers, and 9sight Consulting Founder and Principal, Dr. Barry Devlin, will reveal their latest big data research findings during this informative Webinar.

A SEMI-BLIND WATERMARKING SCHEME FOR RGB IMAGE USING CURVELET TRANSFORMijfcstjournal
In this paper, a semi-blind watermarking technique of embedding the color watermark using curvelet
coefficient in RGB cover image has been proposed. The technique used the concept of HVS that the human
eyes are not much sensitive to blue color. So the blue color plane of the cover image is used as embedding
domain. A bit planes method is also used, the most significant bit (MSB) plane of watermark image is used
as embedding information. Selected scale and orientation of the curvelet coefficients of the blue channel in
the cover image has been used for embedding the watermark information. All other 0-7 bit planes are used
as a key at the time of extraction. The results of the watermarking scheme have been analyzed by different
quality assessment metric such as PSNR, Correlation Coefficient (CC) and Mean Structure Similarity Index
Measure (MSSIM). The experimental results show that the proposed technique gives the good invisibility of
watermark, quality of extracted watermark and robustness against different attacks.
This study found that file sharing is increasingly important in law firm collaboration and while those firms are keenly aware of the consequences of IT security risks, unencrypted email – reinforced with a statement of confidentiality – remains the primary mechanism for sharing files.

Data Integrity Threats To Organizations
Introduction
Data integrity is defined as the accuracy and consistency of data throughout its lifecycle. Data integrity is the core aspect of cyber security. It is important in the design, implementation and utilization of systems that process, store and retrieves data. There are many threats to data integrity and they include cyber-attacks, transfer errors, human error, compromised hardware and malware. Data integrity has a great impact to organizations in terms of its operations and decision making processes (Nedal & Sail, 2013). Data integrity is important to organizations in terms of productivity and operations since these activities rely on sound decision making processes made by the management based on real time data available to them. Inaccurate data based on data lacking data integrity has adverse effects on an organization progress since wrong organizational decisions would be made. It is therefore important for organizations to make data security a priority in their information systems. Organizations can prioritize data security by establishing cyber security teams or outsourcing the services to a third party who would protect and mitigate the threats associated to cyber security.
Thesis
Data integrity refers to the accuracy and consistency of data throughout its lifecycle and it can be compromised by threats such as human error, cyber-attacks, compromised hardware and malware.
Importance of Data Integrity
Data integrity is considered to be both a process and a state. As a state, data integrity can be both accurate and valid whereas as a process, data integrity is described as the measures taken to ensure that a data set or all the data in a database or construct is valid and accurate. It is important for organizations and enterprises to consider data integrity whether as a state or as a process because it ensures the traceability recoverability and searchability of data (Kavale, 2012). The validity and accuracy of data, which is essentia.

Shariyaz abdeen data leakage prevention presentationShariyaz Abdeen
Data leakage prevention is one of the key topics which we have been talking in present. Due to the organizations moving towards big data, financial systems.. which resides in cyber space, there is an increasing number of frauds associated with the technology revolution in the cyberspace.This post highlights the threats and the counter measures, so we can protect the sensitive personal data. I prefer the approach of “ Trust but verify model ”.
Data loss is considered by security experts to be one of the most serious threats that businesses currently face.
Maintaining the confidentiality of personal information and data is an essential factor in operating a successful business. People must be able to trust that their service provider takes the appropriate measures to implement security controls that will ultimately protect their privacy.
However, some of the largest and most reputable organizations have fallen victim to data loss security breaches resulting in significant legal, financial, and reputation loss, including [1]:
The Bank of America: Losing the personal employee information of over one million employees
The United States Government: Losing data related to the military
Heartland Payment Systems: Transferring credit card information and other personal records of over 130 million customers
In 2013, it was estimated that data breaches had resulted in the exploitation of over 800 million personal records [2]. This number is also expected to rise over the next several years given the advanced tools that cybercriminals use to steal information and data.
Interestingly, it is not just cybercriminals who represent a threat as:
64% of data loss is caused by well-meaning insiders.
50% of employees leave with data.
$3.5 million average cost of a security breach.
Considering these extensive data breaches, it is practical for organizations to understand where their critical data is located and understanding current security controls that can stop data loss.
Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions locate critical and personal data for organizations and help prevent data loss. By having a deeper understanding of efficient DLP security controls, you will help protect the reputation of your organization.

Intralinks Ponemon Research Report | Breaking Bad: The Risk of Unsecure File...Melissa Luongo
Data leakage and loss from negligent file sharing and information collaboration practices is becoming just as significant a risk as data theft.
Just like malicious threats from hackers and others, data leakage through the routine and insecure sharing of information is a major threat to many organizations. Being able to securely share valuable corporate data is a critical requirement for all organizations, but especially regulated companies like financial services and life sciences firms.
Many companies have few provisions in place – process, governance, and technology – to adequately protect data. Yet, more and more sensitive information is being shared outside the organization, often without the knowledge or approval of CIOs or GRC professionals who are arguably losing control. Employees are ‘behaving badly’ – they acknowledge risky behavior and in turn experience the consequences of risky behavior regularly.
For the first time, the study Breaking Bad: The Risk of Unsecure File Sharing explores the link between organizational and individual behavior when using increasingly popular file sync-and- share solutions. As shown in this research, organizations are not responding to the risk of ungoverned files-sharing practices among employees as well as with external parties, such as business partners, contractors, vendors and other stakeholders.
Consumer grade file-sharing cloud applications are popular with both employees and organizations because they make it possible for busy professionals to work efficiently together. However, the findings in this report identify the holes in document and file level security in part caused by their expanded use. The goal is to provide solutions to reduce the risk of created by employees’ document and file sharing practices.
More than 1,000 IT and IT security practitioners were surveyed in the United States, United Kingdom and Germany. The majority of respondents are at the supervisor level or above with expertise and understanding of their organization’s use of file-sharing solutions and overall information security and data privacy policies and strategies.

Zero trust network access (ZTNA) is an emerging class of technology that addresses these new remote access requirements and challenges.
Check out these slides to discover why it’s time to transition from legacy VPNs to ZTNA solutions. You will also learn more about:
- Why legacy VPN technologies cannot address the needs of modern enterprises
- How ZTNA helps secure remote access in the era of hybrid work and multi-cloud architectures
- The best way to transition to a next-generation solution

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
