DRS-ADAM is a cybersecurity product that aims to mitigate amplified DNS denial of service (ADD) attacks at their source by sharing DNS query rates among affected resolvers in real-time. It operates by having target servers share their accumulated DNS query rates with nearby resolvers through an iterative gossip-like algorithm. This allows resolvers to detect attacks based on their total query rates to a target before it is overwhelmed. The algorithm converges in O(N^2) time and experiments showed DRS-ADAM can mitigate multi-Gbps ADD attacks within seconds while meeting practical deployment criteria.

CommVault - Your Journey to A Secure Cloud EventGoogle
This document discusses factors for a successful cloud migration and provides recommendations. It identifies 5 key factors for cloud success: 1) identifying and monitoring metrics, 2) challenging the status quo, 3) keeping options open to avoid lock-in, 4) recognizing public cloud is not always the answer, and 5) understanding contractual obligations. It also provides an example use case of using public cloud for disaster recovery and discusses how to ensure IT agility with a unified approach to both public and private clouds.
Companies throw terms like public cloud, dedicated cloud and hybrid cloud environment around daily. Everyone’s abuzz about “the cloud” lately, but what does it all really mean? If you’re looking for clarity when it comes to the cloud platform options available to you, this PowerPoint is right up your alley.
Cloud services are critical sources of speed and agility, and have evolved beyond the simple benefits of cost reduction. Cloud helps companies profit from disruption by allowing innovation in both the front and back office.

Typical disaster recovery plans leverage backup and/or replication to move data out of the primary data center and to a secondary site. Historically, the secondary site is another data center that the organization maintains. But now, companies are looking to the cloud to become a secondary site, leveraging it as a backup target and even a place to start their applications in the event of a failure. The problem with this approach is that it merely simulates a legacy design and presents some significant recovery challenges.
Companies realize, to be successful, they must transform and deliver an enriched and full experience for both customers and the employees by:
• Integrating the entire business to deliver the results the customer and employee want, at every touch point.
• Establishing a frictionless enterprise platform, governed by a new, flexible operating model with adaptive and easily configurable processes and systems.
Digital Transformation: Enriching the user experience through strategy, process, people, and technology.
Highlights of the 2017 Scalar Security Study – The Cyber Security Readiness of Canadian Organizations. The third annual Scalar Security Study examines the cyber security readiness of Canadian organizations and the trends in dealing with growing cyber threats.
The document summarizes the findings of a 2016 cloud study that interviewed 211 IT and business decision makers from Canadian organizations about their cloud adoption. It found that 59% have adopted cloud, but 48% lack a formal cloud security policy. While security remains a top concern, it is no longer seen as a barrier to cloud. Only 23% feel they are doing enough on cloud security. Both cloud workloads and budgets are expected to increase in the next 1-3 years. Experienced cloud users emphasize the importance of planning, assessment and having a formal roadmap for successful cloud migration.
Scalar Security Roadshow: Toronto Presentation - April 15, 2015Scalar Decisions
On April 15, 2015, Scalar hosted our Security Roadshow in Toronto where we'll be focused on defence in three key areas - endpoint, application, and network. Led by our team of experts, these quick-fire, interactive sessions will arm you with the knowledge you need to improve your cyber security posture in some of the most common areas of vulnerability.
Defend the Endpoint with Bromium
Bromium is a new security protection tool for the host that relies on task-based virtualization. In this demo we'll look at how Bromium runs and protects the endpoint. We'll invite 0days from the audience and bring our own to show how the system really works. Much like how each virtual server is contained in a hypervisor, with Bromium each individual task on a host is contained in its own task-based virtual container. If you’ve ever looked at the Windows Task Manager, or the output of a Unix ‘ps’ process list, imagine if each group of processes, that makes up the task, was contained in its own hypervisor. That can be 40-50 tasks or more, each isolated in its own little hypervisor with no real access to the host.
Why is task virtualization helpful? By keeping each task in its own hypervisor, Bromium gives you a bottoms-up view of each individual task’s behaviour – without impacting system performance. If each process is contained in its own hypervisor, it’s easy to see when a process begins spawning other activities or creating any unusual traffic. Basically, it can very easily identify anything shifty. This is the most granular level of inspection you can get at a host level – Bromium is there at the very beginning when the virus begins to execute.
Defend the Application with WhiteHat
In this session we will look at a newer approach to application security and penetration testing, which combines persistent and automated testing processes to continuously monitor applications for vulnerabilities, as well as deep inspection of the business logic by trained specialists. This approach exceeds newer PCI 3 requirements and provides ongoing assurance that web application vulnerabilities are quickly detected and tracked to remediation.
We'll walk through the WhiteHat Security client management portal and discuss the WhiteHat methodology that can now be used, by you, to leverage the 150+ application specialists at WhiteHat to build a continuous application assessment process for your company's active web applications and software development teams.
Defend the Network with LogRhythm
As the security landscape changes, Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) tools that detect and investigate security breaches and threats have become increasingly complex to implement, integrate, and support. Inefficient solutions leave organizations slow to defend against and respond to complex attacks.
LogRhythm’s Security Intelligence Platform has removed the complexity from SIEM, while leveraging real-time threat intelligence with behavioural an

Large-scale virtual desktop infrastructure for Sheridan College addresses multiple use cases, and contributes to College's goal to reduce energy consumption by 50% over the next 5 years.
The City of Airdrie replaced their aging networking infrastructure to reduce total cost of ownership. They started by replacing one switch with a Brocade switch through partner Scalar, which was a success. Over three months, they replaced fourteen switches across five departments with Brocade switches. This provided improved visibility, control and ability to apply firmware updates without impacting users. The move to Brocade enabled the city to replace almost twice as many switches within their budget while including three years of support.

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
