A common trend in today’s cloud based world is identity driven security. As the name implies this makes user identity really important; user identity is now the key to unlock everything. Building the infrastructure to support this trend is very hard; you bear all the responsibilities and can rely on only your own signal data and threat detection. With Azure AD there is a better way! Come join this session to see how Azure AD Identity Protection is using signals from the global Microsoft cloud, Big Data and Machine Learning to protect your users’ accounts, and also how Azure AD Conditional Access makes it easy to enforce application access policies based on things like location and device. We will show you how to set it all up, what works and what doesn’t and how it integrates with other Microsoft protection services in the cloud, and your existing systems. Come and be safe!

Threats have never been more relevant than they are today. Nation states, adversaries, corporate and government espionage, hackers, etc. are all on the hunt for valuable information. The information they seek includes enterprise and individual details. Networks are only as secure as their weakest components. With the hyper-growth in connected devices including smart phones, tablets, wearables and Internet of Things (IoT) devices, networks are very vulnerable.
Meeting the business and technical challenges of today's organizations requires an architectural approach. The Cisco Borderless Network Architecture is the technical architecture that allows organizations to connect anyone, anywhere, anytime, and on any device - securely, reliably, and seamlessly. It is built on an infrastructure of scalable and resilient hardware and software. Components of the architecture come together to build network systems that span your organization from network access to the cloud. Intelligent network, endpoint, and user services provide the flexibility, speed, and scale to support new devices, applications, and deployment models.
The impact of the consumerization of IT and mobility cannot be understated. The impact that these two key business elements have on the evolution of Enterprise Architecture and for Service Provider's ability to offer services to Enterprises, Governments, and Consumers will be addressed in this webinar. We will talk about the importance of the shift and movement of the secure network edge leads to a very close examination of the changing threat vectors and vulnerabilities impacting your businesses today. We will also detail service delivery and consumption on the three 'service horizons,' (Mobile Endpoint and CPE, Virtualized Network Edge/Data Center Edge, and the Cloud).

In recent years, many organizations have been
facing the growing need for remote network
access for their employees. As international
companies have different branches worldwide
and employees travel frequently, secured network
infrastructures became a necessity.
A big international player in the automobile
manufacturing industry decided to implement a
Virtual Private Network (VPN) to establish long
distance network connections. By implementing
a VPN, the company can provide access to its
internal private network to employees around the
world with access to the public Internet.
VPNs offer many advantages in terms of cost
savings and scalability. Where before companies
were obliged to install costly dedicated leased
lines to connect different locations; a VPN now
uses public lines and available network capability.
They eliminate administrative and financial
headaches associated with traditional dedicated
leased lines and connection speeds are much
faster allowing workers to be more productive.
Particularly for remote and international locations,
an Internet VPN solution offers superior reach and
quality of service.
A CLIeNtLeSS VPN SOLutION: SeCure
SOCket LAyer VPN
VPN technologies use tunnelling protocols to
create the connection between two endpoints.
Traffic within the VPN tunnel is encrypted so
that communication over the Internet cannot be
intercepted. Users can access a VPN server on the
company network and through it other computers
on the company’s local network.
There are several different types of VPN
connections, each with their own specifications
and advantages.
The company implemented a Secure Socket
Layer (SSL) VPN. SSL/ VPN is a clientless solution
that does not require client software as it uses
the Web browser as the client application.
Another advantage is that access to the network
can be restricted to specific applications using
SSL/ VPN, allowing more precise access control.
Access rights can be configured for different user
groups.

SSL/ VPN offers a lot of benefits. Security
however, has been a drawback for many
companies looking to implement VPN solutions.
Employees still need to logon in order to access

Remote connectivity is crucial for enterprise productivity and SSL has gained fast popularity as a remote access
tool. In fact, SSL VPNs as a technology have shown promise in eliminating many of the client side issues associated
with IPSec, and other forms of remote access. Furthermore, SSL VPNs offer a smooth migration to a more costeffective,
easier to deploy remote access solution than IPSec. SSL VPN’s combination of flexibility and functionality
makes it competitive with IPSec even when deployed for enterprise’s “power users.”
In today’s crowded SSL VPN market, it’s easy to become overwhelmed by the wide range of solutions available.
Obviously, there are many factors to consider when purchasing an SSL VPN product, and you want to make the
best choice possible. This SSL VPN Evaluation Guide serves as an important resource in identifying, describing, and
prioritizing the criteria you should consider when selecting an SSL VPN provider that best fits the needs of your
organization.
Selection Criteria
In coming up with a selection criteria, the functions offered by SSL VPNs have to be evaluated against two key
aspects: security and user experience. A truly successful deployment of a secure access solution cannot be achieved
without taking both aspects into consideration. Look for an SSL VPN that can also serve the organization’s longterm
needs, integrates seamlessly with the network architecture, and provides powerful management tools. The
optimal provider will exceed in these key areas:
n Performance and scalability
n Security
n Ease of use
n Company reputation
n Technology leadership

Operational Complexity: The Biggest Security Threat to Your AWS EnvironmentCryptzone
Managing tightly-controlled user access in AWS is complex. And complexity leads to errors and sloppiness. There are six main reasons why this operational complexity is the biggest security threat to your AWS Environment. Paul Campaniello at Cryptzone discusses in this eBook.
Cloud and Virtualization gives you agility and efficiency to instantly roll out new services and expand your infrastructure. But the lack of physical control, or defined entrance and egress points, bring a whole host of cloud security issues – data co-mingling, privileged user abuse, snapshots and backups, data deletion, data leakage, geographic regulatory requirements, cloud super-admins, and many more. Fortunately, experts agree that encryption is the unifying cloud security control, allowing you protect, control and maintain the trust. Gemalto’s proven encryption and enterprise key management solutions turn any cloud environment into a trusted and compliant environment by solving the critical challenges of data governance, control, and ownership - no matter where you store your data.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

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.

Two Factor Authentication for VPN
1. Two-Factor Authentication Solution for VPN
Two-Factor Authentication Solution for VPN
Problem with existing VPN authentication
For a successful business, organizations must provide their employees with secure
remote access. The preferred way for companies to allow secure remote access is via a
Virtual Private Network (VPN) over existing Internet connections.
Although, VPN technology ensure the privacy of data transmission over public domain by
creating an encrypted “tunnel” through the public network, but do not strongly protect
unauthorized access to the organization’s assets. This happens because simple username
and password is used to protect the access to most VPNs. So, information that is secure
while in transit may just be ending up in the wrong hands at its final destination.
Solution
ArrayShield innovative two factor authentication system - IDAS provides a simple and secure
remote access to Organization’s network infrastructure using VPN technology. By using its
innovative pattern based authentication it provides One-Time-Secret-Code for every login
transaction.
In IDAS every user is shown with a matrix on the VPN login screen which is populated with
random characters for every transaction. User has to choose a pattern which is a sequence of
cells in the matrix and should register the same with the system prior accessing the VPN. A
translucent card is provided to each user which has a similar structured matrix with transparent
and opaque cells and some random characters imprinted on the opaque cells. Each card is
unique in terms of the position of the opaque cells and the characters imprinted on them.
At the time of accessing the resource through VPN the user is shown with the randomly
populated matrix as a challenge. The user overlaps the translucent card on the shown matrix
and will key in the characters present in the chosen pattern in the same order as a response.
These characters form the One-Time-Secret-Code for the user for that transaction. The
ArrayShield server verifies the user credentials by comparing user’s registered pattern and the
pattern values entered by the user. Access is given to the user if the user credentials are valid.
