SolarWinds Federal Webinar: Government Cyber Security Survey: What you told us - November 1, 2017
In this webinar our panelists discussed how the federal government faces an array of challenges in cybersecurity. What are these challenges and how are they changing? Who are the actors threatening the government, and what tools are they using? Are countermeasures effective, or is the government losing the battle? Eliminating all risk is impossible, so how do government agencies manage the risk? Is the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) helpful? There’s a huge initiative to modernize federal systems; how does modernization affect an agency’s security posture? We discussed the fourth annual Federal Cybersecurity Survey results, and how agencies with strong IT controls are better prepared for security threats and are better able to manage risk.
The 2022 CIO Survey Summary Report provides insight into the priorities, challenges, and opportunities facing IT leaders in the consumer products, retail, and life sciences industries this year. Businesses across the world continue to face talent and labor shortages as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and companies within the tech industry are no different. These shortages, combined with changes to the “normal” workplace environment, have resulted in many companies rethinking and assessing their current and future challenges, opportunities, and priorities within their IT departments. In late 2021, Clarkston Consulting conducted a CIO Market Study, aiming to better understand the current priorities and challenges of upper or C-Suite level IT professionals (CIO/CISO/CTO/VP) at large companies ($350M+ revenue) in the retail, CPG, manufacturing, or life science industries. The four key objectives for the 2022 CIO Survey were to:
Understand the overall relationship between IT and other departments within the company.
Understand current IT budget distribution, technologies/platforms used, and sources for technology-specific learning and development.
Identify attributes that are important in selecting outsourcing or managed services partners, a professional services provider, or a technology platform/vendor.
Determine priorities for the coming year and understand how COVID-19 has changed priorities in recent years.
Market Study Results
Through this CIO Market Study, Clarkston was able to gain valuable insight on the current status and perceptions of IT departments, including budget, ERP usage, investments, outsourced activities, and department health; department expectations, priorities, and plans for the upcoming year; and important attributes in outsourcing and managed services, among other key findings.
The results of this survey provide a detailed view of many of the challenges that IT departments across the consumer products, retail, and life sciences industries continue to face, particularly as they navigate the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in the workplace.

The Internet of Things (IoT) and cybersecurity: A secure-by-design approachDeloitte United States
Cyberattacks, data breaches and overall business disruption, caused by unsecured IoT devices in the workplace and used by third parties, are increasing. This is because companies don’t know the depth and breadth of the risk exposures they face when leveraging IoT devices and other emerging technologies. The results of a poll by Deloitte and Dragos shed light on how ready organizations are for securing connected devices.
Leading IT research firm Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) surveyed 179 IT and IT security respondents to assess the level of interest in MDR services, query MDR services users on the value they receive from their MDR service providers, and understand the drivers behind the growing interest in outsourcing the threat detection and response function.
These slides provide some of the highlights from this research.
Most business, whether they realize it or not, are already connected to the IoT. Some though are more prepared than others. New survey defines how to get ahead in this evolution of technology. Find out more here: http://bit.ly/1RwVtfR
The document summarizes key findings from the Harvey Nash Cyber Security Survey 2014/15. The survey received 161 responses from organizations across different sectors. Key findings include:
- About 80% of respondents could clearly identify cyber risk owners and had security testing processes, but 18% did not know what assets to protect.
- A third suffered a cyber incident in the past year, but this did not correlate with security posture.
- Budget limitations and lack of security culture hindered implementation.
- Supply chain security risks were not fully addressed.
- There were gaps in understanding of cyber risk, especially among HR functions.
The document summarizes the key findings of a 2021 survey on the state of data science. It found that:
- The majority of respondents were younger (under 40), male, and highly educated. Most worked in commercial environments in industries like technology, consulting, automotive, and banking.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
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.
