* Integrating the 3 critical factors - people, processes & technology
* Saving time and money via automated tools
* Anticipating and overcoming common Vulnerability Management roadblocks
* Meeting security regulations and compliance requirements with Vulnerability Management
Enterprise Vulnerability Management: Back to BasicsDamon Small
Vulnerability Management is the lifecycle of identifying and remediating vulnerabilities in an organization's enterprise. A number of companies are starting to do this well, but in some cases, focus on advanced and emerging threats has had the unintended consequence of leaving Vulnerability Management unattended. Defense is actually hard work and people aren't doing it as well as they should! Considered in the context of asymmetric warfare, Blue Teaming is more difficult than Red Teaming. Coupled with the fact that most vulnerabilities do not actually suffer from advanced attacks and 0-days, Vulnerability Management must be the cornerstone of any Information Assurance Program.
The speakers, Kevin Dunn and Damon Small, will describe the key elements of a mature Vulnerability Management Program (VMP) and the pitfalls encountered by many organizations as they try to implement it. Dunn and Small will include detailed examples of why purchasing the scanner should be one of the last decisions made in this process, and what the attendee must do to ensure the successful defense of company assets and data. This session will cover:
- Vulnerability Management: What is it good for?
- What is it not good for?
- How do I make a real difference?
Vulnerability Management: What You Need to Know to Prioritize RiskAlienVault
Abstract:
While vulnerability assessments are an essential part of understanding your risk profile, it's simply not realistic to expect to eliminate all vulnerabilities from your environment. So, when your scan produces a long list of vulnerabilities, how do you prioritize which ones to remediate first? By data criticality? CVSS score? Asset value? Patch availability? Without understanding the context of the vulnerable systems on your network, you may waste time checking things off the list without really improving security.
Join AlienVault for this session to learn:
*The pros & cons of different types of vulnerability scans - passive, active, authenticated, unauthenticated
*Vulnerability scores and how to interpret them
*Best practices for prioritizing vulnerability remediation
*How threat intelligence can help you pinpoint the vulnerabilities that matter most

Ethical Hacking n VAPT presentation by Suvrat jainSuvrat Jain

Derek Milroy, IS Security Architect at U.S. Cellular Corporation, defined “vulnerability management” and how it affects today’s organizations during his presentation at the 2014 Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) Leadership Forum in Chicago on Nov. 19. In his presentation, “Enterprise Vulnerability Management/Security Incident Response,” Milroy noted vulnerability management has different meanings to different organizations, but an organization that utilizes vulnerability management processes can effectively safeguard its data.
According to Milroy, an organization should develop its own vulnerability management baselines to monitor its security levels. By doing so, Milroy said an organization can launch and control vulnerability management systems successfully. In addition, Milroy pointed out that vulnerability management problems occasionally will arise, but a well-prepared organization will be equipped to handle such issues: “Problems are going to happen … You have to work with your people. This can translate to any tool that you’re putting in place. Make sure your people have plans for what happens when it goes wrong, because it’s going to [happen] every single time.”
Milroy also noted that having actionable vulnerability management data is important for organizations of all sizes. If an organization evaluates its vulnerability management processes regularly, Milroy said, it can collect data and use this information to improve its security: “The simplest rule of thumb for vulnerability management, click the report, hand the report to someone. Don’t ever do that. There is no such thing as a report from a tool that you can just click and hand to someone until you first tune it and pare it down.”

Vulnerability assessment & Penetration testing Basics Mohammed Adam
In these days of widespread Internet usage, security is of prime importance. The almost universal use of mobile and Web applications makes systems vulnerable to cyber attacks. Vulnerability assessment can help identify the loopholes in a system while penetration testing is a proof-of-concept approach to actually explore and exploit a vulnerability.

VAPT defines the security measures that are supposed to be put in place to address cyber threats. There are plenty of strategies that can be adopted in Pen Testing which include Black Box Pen Test, White Box Pen Text, Hidden Pen Test, Internal Pen Test, and Gray Box Testing. It is mandatory that VAPT is conducted in order to deter cyber-attacks that are on the upsurge daily. These VAPT ranges from Mobile, Network Penetration Testing, and Vulnerability Assessments.
There are many merits to VAPT in your business which include early error detection in program codes which will prevent cyber attacks. Most companies lose billions of dollars due to cyber-attacks. With VAPT, it guarantees that all loopholes are tightened before an intrusion transpires.
The Security Vulnerability Assessment Process & Best PracticesKellep Charles
Conducting regular security assessments on the organizational network and computer systems has become a vital part of protecting information-computing assets. Security assessments are a proactive and offensive posture towards information security as compared to the traditional reactive and defensive stance normally implemented with the use of Access Control-Lists (ACLs) and firewalls.
Too effectively conduct a security assessment so it is beneficial to an organization, a proven methodology must be followed so the assessors and assesses are on the same page.
This presentation will evaluate the benefits of credential scanning, scanning in a virtual environment, distributed scanning as well as vulnerability management.
Are you new to Black Duck or open source security? Do you need a refresher? Understanding the fundamentals of open source security is critical to keeping your data and organization safe. During this session, we'll share best practices from the world's leading experts to help you establish a foundation for success.
Vulnerability is a weakness in the application or a design flaw that allows an attacker to exploit for potential harm or financial benefits. Though it is practically impossible to have vulnerability free system, one can implement tools to identify the nature of vulnerabilities and mitigate the potential risk they pose. As an institution, it is very important for business managers, administrators, and IT security personnel to pay attention to those security warnings. The talk will identify types, sources, and mitigation of external and internal threats. The talk will review Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) tools available in the market and their benefits. Presenters will engage the audience in interactive style discussion on the available tools to detect vulnerabilities and threats and the steps needed to mitigate.

# Internet Security: Safeguarding Your Digital World
In the contemporary digital age, the internet is a cornerstone of our daily lives. It connects us to vast amounts of information, provides platforms for communication, enables commerce, and offers endless entertainment. However, with these conveniences come significant security challenges. Internet security is essential to protect our digital identities, sensitive data, and overall online experience. This comprehensive guide explores the multifaceted world of internet security, providing insights into its importance, common threats, and effective strategies to safeguard your digital world.
## Understanding Internet Security
Internet security encompasses the measures and protocols used to protect information, devices, and networks from unauthorized access, attacks, and damage. It involves a wide range of practices designed to safeguard data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Effective internet security is crucial for individuals, businesses, and governments alike, as cyber threats continue to evolve in complexity and scale.
### Key Components of Internet Security
1. **Confidentiality**: Ensuring that information is accessible only to those authorized to access it.
2. **Integrity**: Protecting information from being altered or tampered with by unauthorized parties.
3. **Availability**: Ensuring that authorized users have reliable access to information and resources when needed.
## Common Internet Security Threats
Cyber threats are numerous and constantly evolving. Understanding these threats is the first step in protecting against them. Some of the most common internet security threats include:
### Malware
Malware, or malicious software, is designed to harm, exploit, or otherwise compromise a device, network, or service. Common types of malware include:
- **Viruses**: Programs that attach themselves to legitimate software and replicate, spreading to other programs and files.
- **Worms**: Standalone malware that replicates itself to spread to other computers.
- **Trojan Horses**: Malicious software disguised as legitimate software.
- **Ransomware**: Malware that encrypts a user's files and demands a ransom for the decryption key.
- **Spyware**: Software that secretly monitors and collects user information.
### Phishing
Phishing is a social engineering attack that aims to steal sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details. Attackers often masquerade as trusted entities in email or other communication channels, tricking victims into providing their information.
### Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks
MitM attacks occur when an attacker intercepts and potentially alters communication between two parties without their knowledge. This can lead to the unauthorized acquisition of sensitive information.
### Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attacks

Tech Throwdown: Secure Containerization vs WhitelistingInvincea, Inc.
To address the inadequacy of traditional anti-virus solutions, white-listing and secure containerization approaches have both gained traction in the enterprise. Both approaches have the overarching goal of preventing a successful breach at the endpoint, but each works differently and also focus on different parts of the cyber kill chain.
Invincea, a secure containerization solution, inoculates high-risk and Internet-facing applications against attack by running them in secure virtual containers, which have restricted access to the underlying host OS. This effectively removes the most common means of delivering the infection (see figure below). Any successful exploits of targeted applications (such as IE, Java, Flash, etc.), including by 0-day exploits, are kept safely in quarantine where additional forensic details may be uncovered.
Whitelisting attempts to prevent infections by allowing only certain known executables to run. This means whitelisting solutions will not see initial exploits; rather, whitelisting focuses on the next step beyond the exploit where many attacks then attempt to launch 2<sup>nd</sup> stage (malicious) executables with additional goals such as privilege escalation, lateral movement, or data exfiltration. In other words, whitelisting solutions do not have visibility into exploits of existing programs and for memory-resident malware. In addition, whitelisting solutions that prevent unknown software from running will flag legitimate software (such as patches) that are not updated with the whitelist.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.
