Use this guide to learn how you can educate your employees and keep your business safe. Cybersecurity is a team effort to stay protected in today's online world.
Spyware is a kind of malware on both PCs and mobile devices that collects a broad amount of data about a person or organization without their knowledge.
Learn about the OWASP Top 10 Mobile Risks and best practices to avoid mobile application security pitfalls such as insecure data storage, insecure communication, reverse engineering, and more.

Mobile Penetration Testing: Episode III - Attack of the CodeNowSecure
In the final installment of our mobile penetration testing trilogy, we dive deep to find security flaws in mobile apps by dissecting the code with reverse-engineering and code analysis.
How to make Android apps secure: dos and don’tsNowSecure
Learn from the mobile app security fails of others and understand how to get Android app security right the first time around.
A quarter of mobile apps include flaws that expose sensitive personal or corporate data that can be used for illicit purposes. And the security of a mobile app has a lot to do with a user’s impression of its quality.
Fixing vulnerabilities in the late stages of your build-and-deploy cycle is a hassle, and more expensive. You’ve got to switch contexts, dig through code you haven’t thought about in weeks (or didn’t develop in the first place), and delay progress on your latest sprint.
So, what can you, the savvy Android developer, do to get security right the first time around and save yourself work later?
Or, if you’re a security practitioner, how can you give security guidance up front to help your colleagues on the development team work more efficiently?

Your computer is your asset in building your own online empire. And if someone got an access to your private or personal information, your online accounts might got hack and your other assets might also be in compromise.
That's why learning how to protect your computer is necessary to every internet marketers. And if you are that informative about this issue, inside this product is a video tutorial on how you can get rid of those hackers all over the web.
More and more organization employees are required to work outside the office using tablets, laptops and smartphones. These technologies are causing profound changes in the organization of information systems and therefore they have become the source of new risks. Mobile technologies collect and compile an increasing amount of sensitive information to which access must be controlled to protect the privacy of the user and the intellectual property of the company. This webinar will discuss the risks faced by small to medium size organizations that require employees to work remotely. We will also discuss mitigation strategies.

What is SPYWARE?
Spyware is a type of malware that's hard to detect.
It collects information about your surfing habits, browsing history, or personal information (such as credit card numbers), and often uses the internet to pass this information along to third parties without you knowing.
o Key loggers are a type of spyware that monitors your key strokes.
Spyware is mostly classified into four types:
1.System monitors
2.Trojans
3.Adware
4.Tracking Cookies
spyware is mostly used for the purposes of tracking and storing internet users' movements on the web and serving up pop-up ads to internet users.
History and development of spyware.
The first recorded on October 16, 1995 in a UseNet post that poked fun at microsoft's business model.

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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
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.
