A new devastating tool by the name of Mirai was used in the attack on Dyn - the largest DDoS in history. It achieved this by using Internet of Things (IoT) devices as a botnet to great effect. How did we get here?
By 2019, we will be staring at a Data Explosion like none before. Big Data Big Bang is around the corner. This presentation is a thought starter that aim to give an idea of things to come from Internet of things(IoT) to Internet of everything (IoE). Are companies ready to harness the power? Are data vendors equipped to take on this challenge? What do they need to start doing? How do they appease the sometimes conflicting needs of CIO versus the CMO? All this and more.
W ostatnich kilkunastu miesiącach mogliśmy obserwować, że scenariusze filmów science-fiction stawały się realnymi nagłówkami wiadomości. Wiele scenariuszy ataków wydarzyło się po raz pierwszy w realnym świecie. Wiele z nich oznacza nie tylko nowe techniki, ale wręcz zmianę paradygmatu cyberbezpieczeństwa. Internet rzeczy, wykorzystywanie hakerów do walki politycznej czy zupełnie nowa klasa ataków na algorytmy uczenia maszynowego, to tylko niektóre przykłady.

Until recently, Cyber attacks were aimed at Service Providers and Enterprises. The agenda was mostly
economic – to hurt customers and ruin reputations. An infrastructure with such vulnerability also places their
customers’ valuable data at risk. Today, the situation is even more severe. Critical infrastructures are now the
preferred target for cyber terrorists who want to wage war within the comfort of their homes. If not addressed
properly, the massive increase in such attacks will reach new peaks, with catastrophic consequences.

Clearly we’re not in Kansas anymore … According to IDC, the growing global Internet of Things (IoT) market is on course to hit $7.1 trillion by 2020. With the rapid rise of connected devices in the IoT landscape there is growing concern about elevated security risks associated with the sheer volume of new devices coming online.
CE Cybersecurity Trends and Strategies for Hosting in the CloudCase IQ
Why does security feel like the most frustrating challenge in government IT? In part, because security in a cloud-first, mobile-first world calls for new approaches. Data is accessed, used and shared on-premises and in the cloud–erasing traditional security boundaries.
In this webinar, we’ll examine current trends in cybersecurity and some resulting strategy shifts that have the potential to greatly enhance public sector organizations’ ability to balance risk and access, better detect and respond to attacks and just make faster and more coordinated cybersecurity decisions overall. Finally, we’ll look at a common set of attacks occurring specifically in state and local government and steps you can take right now to help mitigate these.
Join Dean Iacovelli, Director for Secure Enterprise at Microsoft, as he discusses current trends and strategies to mitigate your cybersecurity risk.
International Journal of Security and Communication Networks(IJSCS) is a bi monthly open access peer-reviewed journal that publishes articles which contribute new results in all areas of Security and Communication Networks. The journal focuses on all technical and practical aspects of Security and Communication Networks. The goal of this journal is to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to focus on advanced Security and Communication Networks concepts and establishing new collaborations in these areas.
In the last nine months, crypto-mining malware and crypto-jacking have taken center stage in cybercrime news. We’ll discuss the most recent events and see how this links to ransomware, which dominated the cybercrime news last year, where one outbreak cost seven companies over one billion dollars.
Both crypto-mining malware and ransomware, aside from gathering headlines, demonstrate that cybercriminals and nation state actors are building capabilities for worming malware that could have the ability to do far greater damage than has yet been seen.
Come to this talk, learn what’s been going on, where it’s likely going, and how to avoid being a victim of a headline-generating event.

The Real Threat of Cyberattacks
Hackers, in the past have developed a modern and sophisticated way of creating income for themselves. Hackers as the top of the line in software development, have move up the chain of technology. Adopting cloud computing, artificial intelligence, software as a service and encryption, they created a non-stop threat to major companies. Most of the companies fail to take the most basic protective measures against cyberattacks. While the cybercriminals use simple and advance technology to target unsecure organizations, is unlikely for them to stop this attack. Hackers understand the power they possess, it is too easy and rewarding, and the chances of being punished is too low. The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) estimated that cybercrime costs the world’s economy almost $500 billion, or about 0.7% of global income (Lewis, 2018). These numbers are positioning cybercrimes on the top profitable employment. People and companies adopt new advance technology, more protective software’s and more sophisticated. The problem is like the experts on security protocols continue to update their tools, hackers fast learn how to break them. There are high expectations on cybercrimes to increase, and with the help of new and easy devices like Internet of Things (IoT). We have seen that IoT is used not only to steal personal information or to gain access to data or networks, but also to enable Distribute Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks. The impacts of cyberattacks on nation’s economy includes global costs of cyberattacks; ransomware attack implications; additional costs on financial institutions, while the recent cyberattacks being WannaCry; NotPetya; GitHub DDoS; Yahoo attack aided by the tor network, bitcoin and cyberattack-as-a-service.
One of the impacts of cyberattacks is the global cost. The cyberspace has created an avenue for criminals to launch their criminal activities with the help of different cybercrimes. Reports from British officials indicate that almost half of reported crimes in the United Kingdom are cyber-related. The global cost of cybercrime has risen to a staggering $600 billion from recent CSIS estimates (Lewis, 2018). In 2014, cybercrime cost the global economy 0.62 percent of the global Gross Domestic Product (GDP). In 2016, cybercrime cost the global economy 0.8 percent of the global GDP (Lewis, 2018). The global cost of cybercrime is brought about by the following elements: intellectual property loss and loss of business confidential data; hacked personal identifiable information leading to fraud and financial crimes; high costs to secure networks and systems; companies risk reputational damage and the cost associated with opportunity costs that a business suffers after cyberattacks like lack of trust.
Another economic threat of cyberattacks is estimation issues. The cost estimation of cyberattacks.
This brief presentation gives you a quick overview on how the Cyber Threat Landscape is shaping up in 2017 for individuals and business owners alike. It puts forth some important trends and predictions.
When web 2.0 sneezes, everyone gets sickStefan Tanase
Web 2.0 applications have become increasingly popular among Internet users in the past few years. This trend is very unlikely to come to an end soon. More and more 'classic' websites are shifting towards web 2.0 concepts, start-ups are all about web 2.0 and new users are adopting the web 2.0 lifestyle every day.
This paper aims to address the following questions:
What exactly is web 2.0?
What are the concepts and technologies that make web 2.0 what it is?
Why does web 2.0 attract malware authors?
How did malware spread over the Internet before web 2.0?
What are the new attack vectors created by web 2.0 technologies?
What social engineering tactics emerge over the web 2.0 concepts?
How dangerous is the combination of human & technological vulnerabilities?
Are web 2.0 attacks more efficient?
How difficult is it to protect ourselves?
How are web 2.0 threats going to evolve?
Web 2.0 applications are not only being used at home, but also in the corporate environment. The new attack vectors are raising the stakes, both for malware authors and security professionals. The user is somewhere in between the two sides, unwittingly helping the attackers while also suffering from the attacks.
Brief study of Wannacry and the massive attack that took place on May 12, 2017, where the Spanish telecommunications company Telefónica was one of the first victims of this ransomware. The timeline of the events, the vulnerabilities of the company, the costs left by the attack and the possible prevention measures are reviewed.
