Preparing for future attacks. Solution Brief: Implementing the right securit...Symantec
Recent malware incidents have shown how costly and damaging cyber attacks can be.
The Stuxnet worm is believed to have significantly affected Iranian nuclear processing, and was widely considered to be the first operational cyber weapon1. Shamoon was able to compromise and incapacitate 30,000 work stations within an oil producing organisation2. Another targeted malware attack against a public corporation resulted in the company declaring a $66 million loss relating to the attack3. Such attacks may not necessarily be successful, but when attackers do find their way inside an organisation’s systems, a swift, well-prepared response
can quickly minimise damage and restore systems before significant harm
can be caused.
In order to prepare such a response, organisations must understand how attacks can progress, develop a counteractive strategy, decide who will carry out which actions and then practise and refine the plan.
The document discusses designing next-generation threat identification solutions. It summarizes traditional threat modeling approaches and identifies challenges, such as incomplete threat coverage, inability to follow processes rigorously, and lack of suitability for new development scenarios. It proposes key elements for new solutions, including making the business the driver, empowering developers, using continuous and customizable processes, and taking a collaborative approach. The goals are to address resource constraints, conduct analysis throughout product lifecycles, and standardize flexible processes for different teams and products.
A Practical Approach to Managing Information System Riskamiable_indian
This document provides a 3-step process for managing information system risk:
1. Conduct a risk assessment to determine the risk level of the system and classify data sensitivity. This informs the selection of security controls.
2. Select security controls to mitigate risks while balancing business needs. Controls should be tailored to risk levels and applied in multiple layers for defense in depth.
3. Obtain management approval for the controls and manage risk over the system's lifetime by ensuring controls continue to properly operate and risk levels remain acceptable.
Risk management involves identifying potential problems, assessing their likelihood and impacts, and developing strategies to address them. There are two main risk strategies - reactive, which addresses risks after issues arise, and proactive, which plans ahead. Key steps in proactive risk management include identifying risks through checklists, estimating their probability and impacts, developing mitigation plans, monitoring risks and mitigation effectiveness, and adjusting plans as needed. Common risk categories include project risks, technical risks, and business risks.
Information Secuirty Vulnerability Managementtschraider
Vulnerability management is a proactive approach to identifying and closing vulnerabilities through ongoing processes of security scanning, auditing, and remediation. It aims to stay ahead of constantly changing threats by maintaining an inventory of known vulnerabilities and prioritizing remediation. In addition to technical vulnerabilities, poor internal processes around user access management, patching, and configuration can also pose risks, so these operational activities should be regularly assessed and improved. Once gaps have been addressed through effective vulnerability management over time, penetration testing can further test security and provide assurance.

This article will look at common mistakes that organizations make on the path to achieving vulnerability management perfection, both in process and technology areas.
Penetration testing is an essential security practice that assesses vulnerabilities in systems, networks, and web applications before attackers can exploit them. It involves gathering target information, identifying entry points, attempting to break in either virtually or for real, and reporting findings. Penetration testing should be done regularly to identify issues that vulnerability assessments and security tools may miss, as hackers develop new techniques daily. It is important for organizations of any size to conduct penetration testing to protect their business continuity, save money, and comply with regulations like GDPR.

Safety in design paper a live picture of organisational risk by linking risk...Alex Apostolou
Bowties are an efficient, highly adaptable and well-accepted tool for the visualisation and analysis of risk. Even to the untrained eye, the bow tie’s map-like elements are quickly intuited (overall shape, left-to-right flow of linked boxes, standard labels, etc.) and help to define the risk’s dimensions, boundaries and interactions, encouraging navigation, exploration, discovery and hopefully, preparedness.
However, by virtue of their scenario-based frame of reference there is often a great deal of overlap within bowtie registers. Left unresolved in an assurance process, these overlaps would increase the resourcing and verification burden unsustainably.
This case study provides an insight to the key learnings from the implementation of an integrated risk management and control assurance program into an explosives and chemicals manufacturing organisation with 65+ sites. Key amongst the objectives was the creation of a live risk profile to best guide budgetary decision-making for risk reduction, facilitating a more comprehensive understanding of current fatality risk and control at all levels of the business – in the most resource efficient manner possible.
The implemented solution involved identifying the common elements in more than 1,600 bowties and managing them centrally, providing a highly-leveraged assurance approach delivering site and corporate risk profiling at a lower cost, in-built continuous improvement, real-time data sharing, and dynamically calculated bowties; all managed with little or no on-site expertise.

2. It describes the key stages of the incident lifecycle including preparation, detection, analysis, containment, eradication, recovery, and post-incident activities. Adhering to standards and investing in preparation are emphasized.
3. Future challenges mentioned include threat hunting, threat intelligence, and active defense. Automation, maturity models, and managing expectations over time are also discussed.
The document proposes an Information Systems Risk Assessment Framework (ISRAF) to improve organizational risk management. The framework aims to integrate risk assessment into the system development life cycle and business processes. It recommends a modular, hierarchical approach to conduct risk assessments at different tiers or levels of the organization. The framework provides guidelines on risk concepts, factors, analysis methods, assessment scales, and communicating results to stakeholders. The goal is to help organizations make more risk-based decisions through a systematic, repeatable risk assessment process.

Six Steps to Implementing a Successful Risk MatrixJohn Campo
This document outlines six steps for implementing a successful corporate risk matrix. It begins by discussing the challenges of previous approaches where each department had its own risk matrix or all shared one generic matrix. The six steps include: 1) collecting risk matrix data from each department, 2) defining consequence of failure levels consistently, 3) defining probability of failure measurements, 4) determining risk threshold levels on the matrix, 5) plotting risks on the matrix, and 6) maintaining the matrix over time. The goal is to consolidate departmental matrices onto one unified graph to improve communication and safety across locations.
This document describes Focal Point's cyber risk quantification services for insurance underwriting. It outlines a four-step roadmap for measuring an organization's cyber risk profile to inform insurance strategies. The first step leverages an organization's existing NIST Cybersecurity Framework assessment. The second step involves further evaluating cyber risks through an online self-assessment or deeper evaluation. The third step uses Monte Carlo modeling to measure potential cyber loss scenarios. The fourth step provides insights to define an appropriate risk strategy and optimize insurance coverage, limits, and deductibles. The document argues this approach helps organizations better understand cyber risks, prioritize mitigation options, and make informed decisions about cyber insurance.
Risk management plan
Executive Summary
The past few decades have seen technological evolutions on a rapid scale with the growth of the industry taking over the world by storm. Governments and companies alike are investing in further research and development of futuristic technologies in order to work towards a more efficient future in terms of productivity and task automation. The evolution of computers and powerful technologies being made available to the public with them having high processing power and some being small, powerful and portable has led to people having information in their hands, literally.
However, with the advantages of the recently introduced technologies, there still are threats brought about by the same since they have raised privacy and other security concerns as well as health concerns associated with a number of the devices. This paper is aimed at identification of strategies to handle risks which may arise from the continuous development of new technologies (Galati, 2015). Comment by Schneider, Paul: This is the only sentence in this summary which focuses on the paper, and it does a very poor job of previewing everything that the reader will see in this paper.

Critical processes in business are reliant to information technologies therefore need for safeguarding them against hacking attacks among other similar threats relating to information technologies.
Milestones Comment by Schneider, Paul: This section tells me nothing about the milestones for your project. When does the project start? When does the project end? What are all of the milestones between the start & end?
All businesses especially in a technologically growing and depend world need to learn the vulnerabilities posed by the developments as well as methods which can be used to control or curb them. Most companies have successfully put in place firewalls and administrators of networks to monitor, analyze and notify of irregularities which may cause a breach to sensitive company information.
Cost Constraints Comment by Schneider, Paul: Very poor job.
In implementation of security within information technologies, there are costs involved, some being one off and others being recurrent however all serving the same purpose. Costs inclusive in implementation of security protocols are such as purchase as hardware and software offering security such as firewalls, antiviruses, antimalware programs and programs for detection of network intrusions. Costs can also arise from contracting an external organization to ...

Detailed Description:
Large enterprises of a thousand persons or more often have distinctly distinct data security architectures than lesser businesses. Typically they treat their data security as if they were still little companies.
This paper endeavors to demonstrate that not only do large businesses have an entire ecology of focused programs, specific to large businesses and their needs, but that this software has distinct security implications than buyer or small enterprise software. identifying these dissimilarities, and analyzing the way this can be taken advantage of by an attacker, is the key to both striking and keeping safe a large enterprise.
The Web applications are the important part of your business every day, they help you handle your intellectual property, increase your sales, and keep the trust of your customers. But there's the problem that applications re fast becoming the preferred attack vector of hackers. For this you really need something that makes your application secure.
And, with the persistent condition of today's attacks, applications can easily be get infected when security is not considered and scoped into each phase of the software development life cycle, from design to development to testing and ongoing maintenance of the application. When you take a holistic approach to your application security, you actually enhance your ability to produce and manage stable, secure applications. Applications need training and testing from the leading team of ethical hackers, for this there should be an authentic plan to recover these issues that can help an organization to plan, test, build and run applications smartly and safely.
Large enterprises of a thousand people or even more have distinctly different information security architectures than many other smaller companies. Actually, they treat their information security as if they were still small companies.
We are going to discuss some attempts to demonstrate that not only do large companies have an entire ecology of specialized software, specific to large companies and their needs, but that this software has different security implications than consumer or small business software for the applications. Recognizing these differences, and examining the way this can be taken advantage of by an attacker, is the key to both attacking and defending a large enterprise. It’s really important to cover up the security procedures in the large enterprise.
Key Features:
· Web application security checking from development through output
· Security check web APIs and world wide web services that support your enterprise
· Effortlessly organize, view and share security-test outcomes and histories
· Endow broader lifecycle adoption th ...
Endpoints are everywhere, and endpoint security is evolving. Endpoints also remain the most attractive target for hackers as a point of entry for attacks because they’re connected to the weakest link in enterprise data protection: humans.

As an administrator, you are responsible. You are responsible for data that gets created, stored, transmitted, viewed, modified, deleted, and just about everything else that can be done with it. Because of this, not only must you enable it to exist, but you must protect it, authenticate it, secure it, and keep it in the form that complies with every applicable law, policy, and regulation. Counter to this are all of the dangers that can befall the data: it can be accidentally deleted, overwritten, stolen, and lost. These potential harms represent risks, and you must know the risks involved in working with data. You have to know and accept that data can be corrupted, it can be accessed by those who shouldn’t see it, values can be changed, and so on.
If you think that being armed with this knowledge is enough to drive you into taking the steps necessary to keep any harm from happening, however, you are sadly mistaken. One of the actions that administrators can be instructed to take by upper management regarding potential threats is to accept that they exist. If the cost of preventing a particular risk from becoming a reality exceeds the value of the harm t.

DMARC requires alignment between the authentication domain from SPF or DKIM and the From header domain. SPF authenticates the MAIL FROM or EHLO domain, while DKIM authenticates the domain in the d= tag. Alignment can be strict, requiring an exact match, or relaxed, allowing subdomains. DMARC policies use tags to specify whether strict or relaxed alignment is needed for SPF (aspf) or DKIM (adkim) to pass DMARC verification. Alignment helps validate the authenticity of the From header by linking it to the authenticated domains.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

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.
- These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.

Strategies for Improving Vulnerability Assessment
Effectiveness in Large Organizations
Implementing or maintaining a vulnerability assessment program in a large organization requires a dedicated
team to conduct the assessments, and to evaluate the findings. In most businesses, security is not a revenue
generator; indeed, it is a cost center. In order to provide value, you must either improve the effectiveness
of the program, or reduce the drain on resources. There are several steps that can be taken to reduce the
impact to your environment, to include: effective communication of the program, use of appro...
