Many organizations look to Penetration Tests to serve as their Risk Assessments. The reasons vary, but the results are the same: the organization suffers because a Pen Test serves a different purpose than a Risk Assessment. This White Paper explains the differences and offers an alternative solution.
This paper discusses the question of optimizing security decisions in an organization, based on the information provided by the technical security infrastructure.

10 Tips to Improve Your Security Incident Readiness and ReponseEMC
This white paper covers why incident readiness and response often falls short in ten areas that span people, processes and technology. By tackling these shortcomings, organizations can reduce risk by with early warnings of potential problems.
With malware attacks growing more sophisticated, swift, and dangerous by the day — and billions of dollars spent to combat them — surprisingly few organizations have a grip on the problem. Only 20 percent of security professionals surveyed by Information Security Media Group (ISMG) rated their incident response program “very effective.” Nearly two-thirds struggle to detect APTs, limiting their ability to defend today’s most pernicious threats. In addition, more than 60 percent struggle with the speed of detection, and more than 40 percent struggle with the accuracy of detection. Those shortcomings give attackers more time to steal data and embed their malware deeper into targeted systems.

SANS 2013 Report on Critical Security Controls Survey: Moving From Awareness ...FireEye, Inc.
The law of unintended consequences strikes again. In an effort to address security risks in enterprise IT systems and the critical data in them, numerous security standards and requirement frameworks have emerged over the years. But most of these efforts have had the opposite effect — diverting organizations’ limited resources away from actual cyber defense toward reports and compliance.
Recognizing this serious problem, the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) in 2008 launched Critical Security Controls (CSCs), a prioritized list of controls likely to have the greatest impact in protecting organizations from evolving real-world threats. This SANS Institute survey of nearly 700 IT professionals across a range of industries examines how well the CSCs are known in government and industry and how they are being used.

Enterprise Strategy Group: The Big Data Security Analytics Era is HereEMC
This analyst report explains that organizations can no longer rely on preventive security systems, point security tools, manual processes, and hardened configurations to protect against targeted attacks. Henceforth, security management must be based on continuous monitoring and big data analysis for situational awareness and rapid decisions.
IT has deployed the appropriate security controls. You've updated your policies and procedures and raised awareness. And you've got your incident response plan in place. What could possibly go wrong? The answer is: the plan itself. All the planning and preparation in the world won't protect your business from a data breach if the response plan doesn't work. It's necessary to ensure that your response plan stays current and functional.
This webinar will provide a checklist of items to review when auditing your response plan. It will also review how often you should audit, test, and update your plan.

Penetration testing 5 reasons Why Organizations Should Adopt itTestingXperts
Penetration testing is one type of security testing that should be taken up to detect recently discovered or any previously known vulnerabilities or weaknesses in their network, computer systems and applications.There are many reasons why organizations should focus on penetration testing.
A penetration test is often a key requirement for compliance with key regulations. But while many organizations know they need penetration testing, it can be hard to know how to fit them in to a larger security program, or even how to get started. Our whitepaper, "What is Penetration Testing? An Introduction for IT Managers," is a clear and succinct introduction to the core principles and best practices of penetration testing.
Risk management is the process of analyzing exposure to risk and determining how to best handle such exposure.
Issues important to top management typically receive lot of attention from many quarters. Since top management cares about risk management, a number of popular IT risk-management frameworks have emerged.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

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.
zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).
