Symantec Intelligence Report - October 2014Symantec
The number of spear phishing attacks per day continues to trend downward over the last twelve months, coming in at 45 per day in October. Of the attachments used in such email-based attacks, the .doc attachment type comprised 62.5 percent and .exe attachments made up 14.4 percent. Of the industries attacked, the category of Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate received 28 percent of all spear phishing attempts in the month of October, followed by Manufacturing at 17 percent.
The largest data breach that was disclosed in October took place back in July. This breach had previously been reported; however, we learned this month that the breach resulted in the exposure of identities within 76 million households, plus information on an additional seven million small businesses.
In the Mac threat landscape, OSX.Okaz was the most frequently encountered OSX risk seen on OSX endpoints, making up 28.8 percent of OSX risks. OSX.Okaz is an adware program that may modify browser homepage and search settings.
Finally, ransomware as a whole continues to decline as the year progresses. However, the amount of crypto-style ransomware seen continues to increase. This particularly aggressive form of ransomware made up 55 percent of all ransomware in the month of October.
Although a latecomer to the security party, HR organizations can play an important role in protecting assets and influencing good security behaviors. HR leadership can strengthen hiring practices, tighten responses for disgruntled employees, spearhead effective employee security education, advocate regulatory compliance and exemplify good privacy practices, be a good custodian of HR data, and rise to the challenges of hiring good cybersecurity professionals.
The Cloud is both compelling and alluring, offering benefits that entice many organizations into rapid adoption. But caution should be taken. Leveraging cloud technologies can offer tremendous opportunities, with the caveat of potentially introducing new security problems and business risks. Presented are strategic recommendations for cloud adoption to a community of application and infrastructure developers.
Cybersecurity is a difficult and serious endeavor which over time strives to find a balance in managing the security of computing capabilities to protect the technology which connects and enriches the lives of everyone. Peering into the future of cybersecurity provides valuable insights around the challenges and opportunities. The industry is changing rapidly and attackers seem to always be one step ahead. Organizations must not only address what is ongoing, but also prepare for how cyber-threats will maneuver in the future. The 2016 Cybersecurity Predictions presentation showcases the cause-and-effect relationships and provides insights and perspectives of the forthcoming challenges the industry is likely to face and how we can be better prepared for it.

Strategic Leadership for Managing Evolving Cybersecurity RisksMatthew Rosenquist
2014 NSF Cybersecurity Summit keynote presentation from Matthew Rosenquist, Cybersecurity Strategist for Intel Corp.
Cybersecurity is difficult. It is a serious endeavor which strives to find a balance in managing the security of computing capabilities to protect the technology which connects and enriches the lives of everyone. Characteristics of cyber risk have matured and expanded on the successes of technology innovation, integration, and adoption. It is no longer a game of tactics, but rather a professional discipline, continuous in nature, where to be effective strategic leadership must establish effective and efficient structures for evolving controls to sustain an optimal level of security.
This presentation will discuss the challenges, organizational opportunities, and explore best practices to align investments in security to the risk appetite of an organization.
The State Of Information and Cyber Security in 2016Shannon G., MBA
Shannon Glass, Practice Director from AfidenceIT talks about the State of Information and Cyber Security in 2016. She covers the importance of creating a culture of security awareness within an organization, threats to look out for on the landscape, and why you should care about protecting your data assets.
The frequency and impact of cyber attacks have escalated cybersecurity to the top of Board agendas. Institutions are no longer asking if they are vulnerable to cyber attacks. Instead, the focus has shifted to how the attack might be executed, risks and impact. Most importantly, their organisational readiness and resilience to such threats.
How to Improve Threat Detection & Simplify Security OperationsIBM Security
Over 74% of global enterprise security professionals rate improving security monitoring as a top priority. Monitoring must be done efficiently within a security operations center (SOC) to combat increased threats and a limited supply of trained security analysts.
While the vendor landscape for security solutions is rapidly evolving, many early point solutions and first generation SIEMs are not keeping pace with the changing needs of security operations. A new class of platforms has emerged that combine advanced analytics and flexible deployment options. Join this exclusive webinar featuring Forrester Research to learn:
Characteristics of modern security platforms that have evolved from point solutions and basic SIEMs
Criteria to consider when evaluating vendors and solutions
The advantages of an integrated security platform that incorporates cognitive capabilities and augmented intelligence
Avoiding data breach using security intelligence and big data to stay out of ...IBM Security
Attackers and exploits are becoming increasingly sophisticated, and the pressure to protect business critical data is only getting more and more intense. Security Intelligence transforms the playing field by adding analytics and context, and shifts the balance in favor of the good guys. Today forward thinking organizations are looking at extending Security Intelligence even further by combining it with Big Data to form a solution that allows them to analyze new types of information, and data that travels at higher velocity, and in larger volume. This powerful combination yields new insights that can more effectively identify threats and fraud than ever before.
In this session, attendees will learn how to combine Security Intelligence and Big Data, and deploy a solution that is well suited for structured, repeatable tasks. We will also cover the addition of complementary new technologies that address speed and flexibility, and are ideal for analyzing unstructured data. This session will also highlight how organizations are using Security Intelligence to pro-actively detect advanced threats before they cause damage, and take effective corrective action if a compromise succeeds.

Orchestrate Your Security Defenses to Optimize the Impact of Threat IntelligenceIBM Security
Although the majority of organizations subscribe to threat intelligence feeds to enhance their security decision making, it's difficult to take full advantage of true insights due to the overwhelming amounts of information available. Even with an integrated security operations portfolio to identify and respond to threats, many companies don't take full advantage of the benefits of external context that threat intelligence brings to identify true indicators of compromise. By taking advantage of both machine- and human-generated indicators within a collaborative threat intelligence platform, security analysts can streamline investigations and speed the time to action.
Join this webinar to hear from the IBM Security Chief Technology Officer for Threat Intelligence to learn:
How the IBM Security Operations and Response architecture can help you identify and response to threats faster
Why threat intelligence is a fundamental component of security investigations
How to seamlessly integrate threat intelligence into existing security solutions for immediate action

Nowhere to Hide: Expose Threats in Real-time with IBM QRadar Network InsightsIBM Security
IT security teams have a tough job. While organizations depend upon Internet access to conduct business, security teams are responsible for safeguarding these communications and transactions from those who wish to profit by stealing intellectual property, customer private data or even just encrypting your data and demanding a ransom for its safe recovery. There are a number of tools available to monitor log events, network flows, and packet captures, but most of these are performing after-the-fact analysis. That can make it easy for the bad guys to hide out on your network.
IBM QRadar Network Insights (QNI) uses innovative network threat analytics to identify malicious content – including those hidden in data transmissions, SSL certificate violations, protocol obfuscation, file tags, and suspicious network flows – and then pieces together those indicators of attack to provide security teams with real-time alerts. These alerts help organizations detect attacks that are in progress, as well as determine what damage may have already been inflicted.
View this on-demand webinar to learn how QRadar Network Insights can:
Remove network blind spots and reduce complexities in log data to reveal previously hidden threats and malicious behaviors;
Record application activities, capture file metadata and artifacts, and identify assets, applications and users participating in network communications;
Reduce the impact of threats associated with malware, phishing emails, data exfiltration, and the lateral network movements of advanced attacks.

Webinar: Develop Your High Potentials into Results-Driven LeaderseCornell
High potentials usually have good ideas, but what transforms a high potential into a genuine leader is the capacity to move agendas and get results. Ideas must be implemented. Samuel Bacharach believes that leadership is about “executing” and getting things done. Leadership need not be driven by charisma or personality, but by the exercise of specific microskills that allow leaders to move an agenda through an organization.
In this world of mergers and acquisitions, turf and uncertainty, in which the solution mindset is replacing the product mindset, your high potentials need to have the political skills to mobilize groups and the managerial skills to sustain momentum.
This webinar will discuss some of the specifics of these pragmatic skills and elaborate on how you can implement a program to help high potentials within your organization develop these skills.
Samuel Bacharach is the McKelvey-Grant Professor in the Department of Organizational Behavior at Cornell University (ILR). He is also the co-founder of the Bacharach Leadership Group (BLG), an organization which specializes in leadership development programs with an emphasis on microskills of change, innovation, execution, negotiation and coaching.
Sam writes a weekly column for Inc.com, focusing on issues of pragmatic leadership, and has published over 100 academic articles and over 20 books. He is the author of Get Them on Your Side, Keep Them on Your Side and the forthcoming volume, Moving Your Agenda: Leading for Innovation and Change.
Top 12 Cybersecurity Predictions for 2017IBM Security
No industry is immune from a cyberattack. In fact, cyber experts are predicting that we may see a rise in attacks and a spread as industries previously on the fringe now face direct hits. The question is, “What’s in store for us in 2017?”
This presentation addresses the unique challenges of securing Smart Meters and SCADA devices within the power grid. The Revere Security Hummingbird cipher is introduced as a solution to the problem of securing microprocessors below 32-bit.
Preparing today for tomorrow’s threats.
When companies hear the word “security,” what concepts come to mind
— safety, protection or perhaps comfort? To the average IT administrator,
security conjures up images of locked-down networks and virus-free devices.
An attacker, state-sponsored agent or hactivist, meanwhile, may view security
as a way to demonstrate expertise by infiltrating and bringing down corporate
or government networks for profit, military goals, political gain — or even fun.
We live in a world in which cybercrime is on the rise. A quick scan of the
timeline of major incidents (See Figure 1, Page 9) shows the increasing
frequency and severity of security breaches — a pattern that is likely
to continue for years to come. Few if any organizations are safe from
cybercriminals, to say nothing of national security. In fact, experts even
exposed authentication and encryption vulnerabilities in the U.S. Federal

A Time of Great Risk: The Time Between Compromise and Mitigation
In most organizations today, threat detection is based on various security sensors that attempt to look for anomalous behavior or for known signatures of malicious activity. These sensors include firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS), application gateways, anti- virus/anti-malware, endpoint protection, and more. They operate at and provide visibility into all layers of the IT stack.
Cybersecurity is difficult. It is a serious endeavor which over time strives to find a balance in managing the security of computing capabilities to protect the technology which connects and enriches the lives of everyone. Characteristics of cyber risk continue to mature and expand on the successes of technology innovation, integration, and adoption. It is no longer a game of tactics, but rather a professional discipline, continuous in nature, where to be effective strategic leadership must establish effective and efficient structures for evolving controls to sustain an optimal level of security.
This presentation will discuss the emerging challenges as it analyzes the cause-and-effect relationships of factors driving the future of cybersecurity.
A1 - Cibersegurança - Raising the Bar for CybersecuritySpark Security
In the past few years, a new approach to cybersecurity has emerged, based on the analysis of data on successful attacks. In this approach, continuous diagnostics and mitigation replace the reactive network security methods used in the past. The approach combines continuous monitoring of network health with relatively straightforward mitigation strategies. The strategies used in this approach reduce the opportunities for attack and force attackers to develop more sophisticated (and expensive) techniques or to give up on the target. In combination, continuous monitoring and mitigation strategies provide the basis for better cybersecurity.

Continuous change in technologies also implies a parallel shift in cybersecurity trends as news of data breach, ransomware and hacks become the norms. Here are the top cybersecurity trends for 2022.
Pat Pather- Cyber Security Unchartered: Vigilance, Innovation and Adaptabilityitnewsafrica
Pat Pather, Chief Executive Officer at Forensic Sciences Institute, delivered a presentation on Cyber Security Unchartered: Vigilance, Innovation and Adaptability- Exploring the Depths of Cybersecurity, at Public Sector Cybersecurity Summit 2023 on the 3rd of October 2023. #PublicSec2023 #Conference #Cybersecurity #PublicSector
Cyberspace is rapidly transforming our lives – how we live, interact, govern and create value. With the JAM (Jan Dhan, Aadhaar and Mobile) trinity, India is at the forefront of global digital transformation. “Digital India” is being hailed as the world's largest technology led programme of its kind.
While internet, smartphones and modern information and
communication devices have been great force multipliers, endless connectivity and proliferation of IoT devices is giving rise to vulnerabilities, risks and concerns. Cyber security is today ranked among top threats by governments and corporates. Heightened concerns about data security and privacy have resulted in a spate of regulations in India and across the world. India is in the process of discussing and enacting its own comprehensive data security and privacy regulation, as well as vertical specific ones. Cyber security is an ecosystem where laws, organisations, skills, cooperation and
technical implementation would need to be in harmony to be
effective.
Overall, a robust regulatory framework based on global and
country-specific regulations, development of a holistic cyber
security eco-system (academia and industry as well as
entrepreneurial) and a coordinated global approach through
proactive cyber diplomacy would help to secure cyber space and promote confidence and trust of key stakeholders including
citizens, businesses, political and security leaders.
CII has been actively working in the cyber security space. The CII Task Force on Public Private Partnership for Security of the Cyber Space has been set up to bring about improvements in the legal framework to strengthen and maintain a safe cyberspace ecosystem by capacity building through education and training programmes. We would facilitate collaboration and cooperation between Government and Industry in the area of cyber security in general and protection of critical information infrastructure in particular, covering cyber threats, vulnerabilities, breaches, potential protective measures, and adoption of best practices.

Why is cyber security a disruption in the digital economyMark Albala
As we enter the digital economy, companies will quickly realize that the differentiator in the digital economy is information and information being a valuable resource is subject to theft, hacking, phishing and a host of other issues which compromise a company’s ability to participate in the digital economy. Cybersecurity misfires compromise the trust of buyers and partners necessary to participate in the digital economy. It is up to every company to ensure that the information shared with them is protected to the best of their ability and proactively notify persons and organizations who entrust their information necessary to transact business (any personal identity information including but not limited to addresses, credit card information, social security numbers, account information, credit information, medical records, etc.) with any potential compromises which can yield harm to them by that information either being used maliciously or shared with others.
The digital economy is different than other versions of commerce because in the digital economy, information is the lifeblood of digital commerce that passes through the hands of many platforms involved in a digital event. Each of these platforms are an opportunity to wreak havoc on your well-intended but incomplete intents to protect the information contained within the network you control. In the digital economy, it is not only the network you control, but the platforms that touch the personal data entrusted to you as a means of enabling digital commerce, and several techniques have begun to emerge to protect personal information contained within your information domain and the domain of platforms participating in digital commerce.
Because the life blood of the digital economy is information, information hacked in the digital economy is akin to shrinkage in the legacy economy. Both are means to directly attack your bottom line, whether it is redirecting customers elsewhere because they don’t trust your privacy program, ransomware which makes your site or one of your partner platform sites dangerous to use or some other reason which challenges your ability to participate in the digital economy. Shrinking the potential market share because of information safety and security challenges is a disruption, making cyber-security a disruptive activity, particularly if it is not dealt with swiftly.
If your cyber-security program is focused entirely on protecting the information housed in your four walls, you have exposed yourself to problems you will have difficulty in identifying both the source and the entry point of these issues.
CYBERFORT Technologies seeks to impart quality Information Security programs that would equip Information Security professionals with the necessary tools and education to help them avert Cyber-crimes, Cyber espionage, Cyber terrorism and if the need arises, Cyber wars.
Improving Healthcare Risk Assessments to Maximize Security BudgetsMatthew Rosenquist
Healthcare is undergoing major changes
that are being driven by medical, consumer,
IT, and security trends. While these trends
deliver compelling benefits to healthcare
organizations, workers, and patients, they
also carry significant privacy and security
risks. Healthcare organizations are seeing an
escalation in the frequency and impact of
security compromises, driving a corresponding
increase in healthcare privacy and security
regulation at the national and local levels.
This paper looks at how healthcare organizations can better optimize and focus their
privacy and security efforts and budgets
through risk assessments designed to
identify, characterize, and address the most
serious threats and the agents behind them.

2015 Global APT Summit - Understanding APT threat agent characteristics is ke...Matthew Rosenquist
APT attacks originate from people, against a specific target, for an explicit malicious purpose. Attempting to protect all assets from every type of attack is not reasonable or sustainable. Understanding the archetypes of Threat Agents is key to an effective defense. Knowing the capabilities, objectives, and most likely methods of APTs targeting your organization provides predictive insights to where prevention, detection, and response tools and processes will have maximum impact. Such analysis complements the traditional vulnerability management structures which look generically for weaknesses.
Matthew Rosenquist's Understanding APT Threat Agent Characteristics is Key to Prioritizing Risks presentation at the 2015 Global APT Defense Summit in Los Angeles. Prioritizing risks is critical for any sustainable security capability. Understanding the abilities, methods, and objectives of advanced attackers is key in identifying the most critical vulnerabilities and the proper allocation of resources to manage risks.
Matthew Rosenquist's 2015 Cybersecurity Predictions presentation to the ISACA Sacramento chapter on Feb 12th outlines the forthcoming challenges the industry is likely to face and how we can be better prepared for it. Peering into the future of cybersecurity provides valuable insights for security professionals. The industry is changing rapidly and attackers seem to always be one step ahead. Organizations must not only address what is ongoing, but also prepare for how cyber-threats will maneuver in the future.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
