A Hybrid Approach For Phishing Website Detection Using Machine Learning.vivatechijri
In this technical age there are many ways where an attacker can get access to people’s sensitive information illegitimately. One of the ways is Phishing, Phishing is an activity of misleading people into giving their sensitive information on fraud websites that lookalike to the real website. The phishers aim is to steal personal information, bank details etc. Day by day it’s getting more and more risky to enter your personal information on websites fearing that it might be a phishing attack and can steal your sensitive information. That’s why phishing website detection is necessary to alert the user and block the website. An automated detection of phishing attack is necessary one of which is machine learning. Machine Learning is one of the efficient techniques to detect phishing attack as it removes drawback of existing approaches. Efficient machine learning model with content based approach proves very effective to detect phishing websites.
Our proposed system uses Hybrid approach which combines machine learning based method and content based method. The URL based features will be extracted and passed to machine learning model and in content based approach, TF-IDF algorithm will detect a phishing website by using the top keywords of a web page. This hybrid approach is used to achieve highly efficient result. Finally, our system will notify and alert user if the website is Phishing or Legitimate.

Requirements for Implementing Data-Centric ABAC NextLabs, Inc.
Attribute Based Access Control (ABAC) has long been considered one of the few approaches to data-centric security that is robust enough to keep pace with today’s extended enterprise. However, organizations currently lack process and automation capabilities to supply critical inputs required for the ABAC approach.
This white paper explains how NextLabs Control Center leverages and manages identity and data attributes and dynamically evaluates information access events no matter where they occur. Security Professionals, IT Architects, and System Integrators will understand the requirements for implementing data-centric ABAC, as well as the benefits of NextLabs’ XACML-based approach.
Because the biggest impact of cyber breach is data loss, data protection should be architected into the DNA of your cyber security solution. This means focusing security efforts around data from the very beginning, from initial risk assessment, to control design, to implementation and auditing.

Based on Tamara Loehr's book, Balance is B.S., this presentation explores three big myths that hold women back.
Balance is B.S. is an unflinching and honest look at the challenges today’s working woman faces in balancing her professional and personal lives. In the United States, women comprise over 40% of household income. Increased gender diversity in the modern business landscape continues to have a positive impact on bottom lines and revenue reports across the economy, and offers significant benefits for ambitious women in the workplace. This increase of women in the workforce does present a serious problem—women are working longer and harder outside of the home, but their workload has not lessened inside of the home. While their career prospects rise, expectations of their family and personal lives remain flat. Women pursue the mythical “work-life” balance, and feel guilty for not reaching it. There is a better way.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

2. In most mobile applications,
data is the thing that’s of
most interest to an attacker.
3. As such, it’s crucial to
look at how your data is
received, processed,
transmitted, and
ultimately destroyed.
4. By considering the following
general design principles,
you can protect data within
your application and reduce
the likelihood of it being intercepted
or compromised by an attacker.
6. The best approach to data storage
is to avoid storing data at all.
Unfortunately, this is not feasible
for many applications.
is to avoid storing data at all.
Unfortunately, this is not feasible
for many applications.
7. As part of the design process,
you should always consider what
data your application handles
and how you can best reduce the
amount of data that is stored.
How and where the data is stored is
another important consideration.
9. You need to consider what states
will exist and what data should
be accessible in those states.
For example, if your application
handles cryptographic key material,
typically, it should not be accessible
or memory resident when the
application is in a locked state and
should only be made available
following user authentication.
10. Creating a design
plan showing the
different state
transitions, and
what data should be
accessible in each,
will help you to
reduce the exposure
of data within your
application.
12. If your application is handling
particularly important data,
such as financial or corporate data,
consider implementing client-side
authentication. Forcing a user to
authenticate can offer some mitigation
against unauthorized access in the
event a device is lost or stolen.
13. Where possible, you should
also combine it with
authentication via iOS’
LocalAuthentication
framework and TouchID,
which can offer validation
that the user is physically
present, providing no
tampering has taken place.
which can offer validation
15. Identifying the entry points to your
application at an early stage can
help you recognize areas where
potentially tainted data may
be introduced. Armed with this
information, you can define the
types and format of the data that
can enter your application, building
appropriate sanitization rules
to parse this data along the way.
17. An often unexplored design
consideration is the impact and
security of any third-party libraries
that you might be using.
18. Using third-party libraries grants
the library developer the equivalent
to code execution within your
application, as well as access to your
application’s data. This has led to
many instances of abuse in the past.

With a little thought and a carefully constructed design plan,
you can preempt common vulnerabilities before development.
