BSidesPGH - Never Surrender - Reducing Social Engineering RiskRob Ragan
The weakest link in the security chain is often between the keyboard and the chair. People are a problem. We have a natural instinct as humans to trust someone's word. Although various technical means have been developed to cope with security threats, human factors have been comparatively neglected.
Once you put a human in a security chain, you have a weakness. That problem should be addressed by security practitioners, not every member of an organization. Very few would disagree that social engineering is the the most common and least challenging way to compromise an organization, but most accept the notion that there isn't much they can do about it. False!
This talk will focus on the psychological, technical, and physical involvement of social engineering, and also look at how we can remove the human element of the human problem. We will explore what organizations are doing wrong, also the processes and technical controls that can be put in place to achieve a strong social engineering defense.
We'll template a solution that can be customized. What will really help? What is the truth? What if we don't want to surrender our organization to social engineers?
Social Engineering: the Bad, Better, and Best Incident Response PlansRob Ragan
One of today's most challenging security issues is social engineering defense. Despite evidence proving the impact of a social engineering attack, we often see inadequate incident response plans in place. In this talk, we will share our experiences about what organizations are doing when (or, more commonly, if) they detect an attack, steps to strengthen the social engineering defensive strategy, and what best practices to enforce for the strongest possible security posture.

Companies are generally very good at protecting themselves against external attacks, but only rarely do they guard themselves against internal attacks. By using what’s known as ‘Social Engineering’, hackers exploit unsuspecting people who in good faith open up their doors to unwanted strangers.
Social engineering, or SE, is the art of manipulating people into performing actions or so they give up confidential information. Social Engineering can mean different things to different people.
Currently, market has a wide range of systems, products and services focused on computer security services: Antivirus, Antispyware, Firewalls, IPS, WAF, SIEM systems, etc.
All these measures are indispensable and have become a priority for any company or organization towards ensuring its assets, but social engineering plays with the advantage that you can use techniques that violate own vulnerabilities inherent in human beings and, as is well known, for this there is no patch or upgrade that provides effective protection against such attacks.
People is normally “the weak link in the chain”.
Introduction to Basic Social Engineering. It is based on the session delivered by Neelu Tripathy in InfoSec Girls meet up detailing some methods of how social engineering is performed in the industry.
An introductory session about Social Engineering presented at ICT Nuggets Forum - Khartoum, organized by Duko team. We talked about what is social engineering? terms related to it? and how attacks can bee carried. We also told a lot of stories about successful social engineering attacks and how much damage they did. Finally we talked about how to protect yourself and your company social engineering attacks.
Social Engineering is a kind of advance persistent threat (APT) that gains private and sensitive information through social networks or other types of communication
Social Engineering - Human aspects of industrial and economic espionageMarin Ivezic
Social engineering is not just a supporting process to obtain system access; it could be the main attack. Organizations that focus only on a narrow definition of social engineering as an attack vector to obtain system access will fail to create awareness of all other possible social engineering attack methods.
Interop 2017 - Defeating Social Engineering, BEC, and PhishingRob Ragan
Over 90 percent of cyber attacks start the same way: with a phishing message. Attackers slip all manner of malware into your organization just by convincing users -- even admin-level users in the IT department -- to click on a link. Fraudsters carrying out business email compromise attacks are even more clever, forgoing malware and malicious links altogether, and scamming companies out of $47 million, $75 million and more, simply by asking for it the right way. Social engineering is, at the very least, how attackers get their foot in the door, and at worst, how they get away with your crown jewels. In this session, learn about attackers' new twists on the oldest tricks in the book, and how to protect your organization against them.

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.

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).

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

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.
