NUS-ISS Learning Day 2018-Leading conversation in IoT securityNUS-ISS
The document discusses communicating cybersecurity requirements in the context of IoT. It outlines learning outcomes around understanding IoT security needs like privacy, safety, resilience, confidentiality, authentication and integrity. It then discusses how to have a conversation about these needs using examples like smart cameras and smart lamp posts. The key is to ask what risks are being addressed, what specifically is being protected, and to involve IT/cybersecurity experts to conduct risk assessments and recommend security controls.
The document discusses a theft at the University of California, Berkeley where a laptop containing personal information on 98,000 people was stolen from an administration building. While university policy mandates encrypting personal data, the files on the stolen laptop had not yet been encrypted. The university is attempting to notify those affected and authorities do not believe the data has been misused yet. The incident raises questions about storing sensitive data on portable devices.

1) Employee training and awareness is a critical element for cybersecurity resilience. Successful programs focus on changing employee behavior and aligning security practices both inside and outside of work.
2) Traditional awareness programs often fail because they are not engaging for employees and do not lead to real behavior change. Effective programs treat security messaging like marketing and use multiple channels, contexts, and reminders to reinforce the message.
3) Measuring outcomes is important for security awareness programs. Objectives should be clearly defined and focused on discrete, measurable goals rather than vague concepts like "increasing awareness."

This presentation explains it briefly, including current trends and effects on the business.
Current enterprise information security measures continue to fail us. Why is ...Livingstone Advisory
Conventional information security measures continue to fail our businesses in today’s rapidly changing world of cyber-risk. Adverse cyber-events manifest themselves as the usual suspects including data breaches, information theft, ransom- and malware, viruses, payment card fraud, DDOS attacks or physical loss – to name but a few.
Problem is, the tally of adverse events keeps mounting up. While headline adverse cyber incidents are now reported in the media with regularity, this represents the tip of the cyber-risk iceberg. Most known events are either unreported or hidden from public disclosure. Not helping, is the industry analysis suggesting that, on average, nearly half of all adverse cyber-risk events impacting organisations are self-inflicted and avoidable. No industry is untouched.
Delivered at the CIO Summit in Melbourne, Australia in November 2016, in this presentation, Rob offers valuable strategic insights into the problem and why it continues to be a problem.
He outlines some practical steps that will be helpful for CIOs and CISOs in reshaping their own organisation’s approach in building a more effective and resilient information security capability.
Organizations are increasing spending on cybersecurity but many still have vulnerabilities. While larger organizations are improving protection and increasing budgets, over 75% still lack sufficient cybersecurity. Common vulnerabilities include careless employees, outdated security controls, and unauthorized access. Few organizations have matured programs across threat intelligence, vulnerability management, breach detection and response. Most breaches go undetected, and many organizations only increase security after experiencing harm from a breach. Overall, while awareness and spending are rising, many organizations still have work to do to strengthen basic protections of their most critical assets and information.

Five Misconceptions about Personal Data - Dataconomy Barcelona -Claro Partners Inc.
The vast amounts of personal data that we produce (email, text, search, payments...) has been triumphantly declared a “new asset class” by the WEF and compared to oil as the world’s newest economic resource. This has sparked a frantic race to gather it.
This gold rush obscures the real value of personal data, and forgets a fundamental rule of innovation: start with the person. Why has this basic principle been largely absent from our obsession with big data?

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on BlockchainClaudio Di Ciccio
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.

Cosa hanno in comune un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ?Speck&Tech
ABSTRACT: A prima vista, un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ potrebbero avere in comune il fatto di essere entrambi blocchi di costruzione, o dipendenze di progetti creativi e software. La realtà è che un mattoncino Lego e il caso della backdoor XZ hanno molto di più di tutto ciò in comune.
Partecipate alla presentazione per immergervi in una storia di interoperabilità, standard e formati aperti, per poi discutere del ruolo importante che i contributori hanno in una comunità open source sostenibile.
BIO: Sostenitrice del software libero e dei formati standard e aperti. È stata un membro attivo dei progetti Fedora e openSUSE e ha co-fondato l'Associazione LibreItalia dove è stata coinvolta in diversi eventi, migrazioni e formazione relativi a LibreOffice.

15. (5th “Eye”: Importance?)
It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his
salary depends upon his not understanding it.
Upton Sinclair Jr.
Specifically, we find that the cost of a typical cyber
incident in our sample is less than $200 000 (about the
same as the firm’s annual IT security budget), and that
this represents only 0.4% of their estimated annual
revenues.
