Security is too often discussed in terms of what it prevents rather than what it assures. Too much trust in narrowly focused technology, combined with too much fear of the unknown in areas like adoption of the cloud, combine to make many enterprise and other IT systems unnecessarily expensive and inadequately trustworthy.

How Privacy in the Cloud Affects OrganizationsWSO2
Exposing organizational processes via APIs and providing services over the Internet increases productivity, gives better user experience and allows collaboration between organizations. Most organizations are now moving to cloud-base solutions without managing the infrastructure by themselves allowing them to focus on their core business objectives and reduce maintenance cost. By default, cloud services are secure and allow redundancy. The service providers have skilled workers and proper processes to take care of every part of the services they offer, including security and data protection. But this doesn’t mean the organization inherits proper privacy when on the cloud. This session focus on privacy issues that an organization may face when moving to the cloud and how they can manage those risks.

"Cybersecurity Aspects of Blockchain and Cryptocurrency"
Abstract:
Many companies are considering blockchain technologies to make transactions faster, more secure and cost effective. If you are performing risk analysis on these emerging technologies, you ask be asking yourself: how do I even start to analyze risk when there are so many unknowns? A successful analysis requires a paradigm shift in thinking into two areas: casting aside the defense-in-depth metaphor to describe security controls; and, how we assess and analyze risk of new and emerging technologies that have a high degree of uncertainty.
This talk will cover how to reframe your assessments for emerging technologies, such as blockchain, and how risk quantification methodologies such as Factor Analysis of Information Risk (FAIR) can help answer some of these questions and produce a credible risk assessment.

When you browse the net - you often send sensitive and highly personal data - passwords, banking information and so much more. One of the basic protections we have is a secure connection - or HTTPS instead of a HTTP. What does this mean? Should you enable this secure connection on your website? How can you inform your users to seek out these connections?
Typing our banking information, secure passwords or our credit card information into an unsecure connection - can put at anyone at high risk of having our information stolen.
This scenario and various others are all to true in the digital age and can wreak havoc on many individual’s personal lives. Some leading towards bankruptcy and financial ruin. This webinar will discuss:
- what HTTPS is
- how it functions
- how to enable it
- where to get a SSL certificate that will sign your HTTPS implementation

The Rising Floor of Platform - MIT Platform Summit 2014Peter Coffee
If someone thinks that they can create differentiating value by starting at the level of what you sell, at a cost that enables them to sell the result, then you are - to them - a platform. Too much lower, you're plumbing. Above that level, you're a competitor or an irrelevant product. What should a platform provide today, as 24x7 connected people want trustworthy access to data and command of useful function?

CHAPTER

Authentication and
Authorization
One of the most common ways to control access to computer systems is to
identify who is at the keyboard (and prove that identity), and then decide what
they are allowed to do. These twin controls, authentication and authorization,
respectively, ensure that authorized users get access to the appropriate
computing resources, while blocking access to unauthorized users.
Authentication is the means of verifying who a person (or process) is, while
authorization determines what they’re allowed to do. This should always be done
in accordance with the principle of least privilege—giving each person only the
amount of access they require to be effective in their job function, and no more.
Authentication
Authentication is the process by which people prove they are who they say they
are. It’s composed of two parts: a public statement of identity (usually in the form
of a username) combined with a private response to a challenge (such as
a password). The secret response to the authentication challenge can be based on
one or more factors—something you know (a secret word, number, or passphrase
for example), something you have (such as a smartcard, ID tag, or code
generator), or something you are (like a biometric factor like a fingerprint or
retinal print). A password by itself, which is a means of identifying yourself
through something only you should know (and today’s most common form of
challenge response), is an example of single-factor authentication. This is not
considered to be a strong authentication method, because a password can be
intercepted or stolen in a variety of ways—for example, passwords are frequently
written down or shared with others, they can be captured from the system or the
network, and they are often weak and easy to guess.
Imagine if you could only identify your friends by being handed a previously
agreed secret phrase on a piece of paper instead of by looking at them or hearing
their voice. How reliable would that be? This type of identification is often
portrayed in spy movies, where a secret agent uses a password to impersonate
someone the victim is supposed to meet but has never seen. This trick works
precisely because it is so fallible—the password is the only means of identifying
the individual. Passwords are just not a good way of authenticating someone.
Unfortunately, password-based authentication was the easiest type to implement
in the early days of computing, and the model has persisted to this day.
Other single-factor authentication methods are better than passwords. Tokens
and smart cards are better than passwords because they must be in the physical
possession of the user. Biometrics, which use a sensor or scanner to identify
unique features of individual body parts, are better than passwords because they
can’t be shared—the user must be present to log in. However, there are ways to
defeat these methods. Tokens and card ...
Stopping Breaches at the Perimeter: Strategies for Secure Access ControlSecureAuth
Billions are being spent on network and endpoint security each year and yet companies continue to get breached and become big news headlines. So the question remains: How can organizations protect their network and applications while detecting unwanted users and potential attackers? Join 451 Research and SecureAuth as we explore the current state of information security and discuss some of the emerging access control technologies that can help address these challenges.
In this informative webinar you will learn:
•Why the future of access control will require higher security while improving user experience
•How adaptive access control techniques can protect against an attack using multi-layered risk analysis
•How using Behavioral Biometrics can identify anomalous user behavior - continuously
Regulatory compliance mandates have historically focused on IT & endpoint security as the primary means to protect data. However, as our digital economy has increasingly become software dependent, standards bodies have dutifully added requirements as they relate to development and deployment practices. Enterprise applications and cloud-based services constantly store and transmit data; yet, they are often difficult to understand and assess for compliance.
This webcast will present a practical approach towards mapping application security practices to common compliance frameworks. It will discuss how to define and enact a secure, repeatable software development lifecycle (SDLC) and highlight activities that can be leveraged across multiple compliance controls. Topics include:
* Consolidating security and compliance controls
* Creating application security standards for development and operations teams
* Identifying and remediating gaps between current practices and industry accepted "best practices”

Whose Cloud Is It Anyway: Exploring Data Security Ownership and ControlSafeNet
Far too many organizations are slow to change how they assess and manage security in the cloud. They instead try to apply legacy controls that worked for traditional IT environments to the cloud, thus creating new opportunities for security failures.
In this slide deck -- originally presented at RSA Conference 2014 -- David Etue, VP of Corporate Development Strategy at SafeNet, Inc., covers the cultural changes that organizations should adopt in order to address the complex issues surrounding data access in the cloud.
More information about our approach to cloud security can be found at http://www.safenet-inc.com/cloud/.
How do we separate hype from useful information in Cyber Security? As Congress is debating a National privacy law, and several states have privacy and breach reporting laws, how will that impact our workload? Privacy starts with good cyber-hygiene.

Data security to protect pci data flow ulf mattsson - insecure-mag-40Ulf Mattsson
There are innumerable ways that data thieves can attack and penetrate your network. As the saying goes - it’s not if your systems will be breached, but when. Every organization, especially those that handle PCI data, should operate under the assumption that sooner or later, they will be breached.
The new best practices to protect sensitive data and the data flow throughout the enterprise are designed with this assumption in mind. They are about reducing risk of data loss, and responding quickly to attacks when they occur.
First, minimize the amount of sensitive data you collect and store. Some elements, such
as PIN numbers and CVV/CVC codes, are prohibited from being stored, but in general, if you’re not using certain data but you store it anyways, you’re only increasing risk with no returns. If you are using it, or planning to, minimize the number of systems that store or process sensitive data. This will make it easier to protect it, as you will have less to defend. The next step is to implement some sort of data security, as required by PCI DSS regulations. While access controls provide a basic level of protection, they do nothing to protect the data flow, and the PCI council has recognized a need to go beyond them. Data security is applied in one of two ways: coarse-grained security at the volume or file level; and fine-grained security at the column or field-level.
Now, more than ever, it is important for organizations to embrace a new approach to security awareness training. In this presentation, we present a new field of "Psychological Security" to update the way people are trained to recognize technological manipulation.
How To Plan Successful Encryption StrategyClickSSL
Nowadays, almost every digital device is connected to the internet. There are many benefits of staying online such as receiving information on real time, mobility, and affordability. Previously there was limited functionality available on the online platform such as browsing news, information and watching videos.
A digital identity is the body of information about an individual, organization or electronic device that exists online. Unique identifiers and use patterns make it possible to detect individuals or their devices.

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!

Designing Great Products: The Power of Design and Leadership by Chief Designe...
What Is "Secure"?
1. What is “Secure”?
“If you think cryptography can solve your problem, then you
don't understand your problem and you don't understand
cryptography.” – Bruce Schneier, 1998
2. The Nouns and Verbs of Security
Preserve integrity, availability & access
Permit authentication and authorization
Assure confidentiality & control
Promote awareness and accountability
Perform inspection; maintain protection;
afford detection; enable reaction; build on
reflection
3. The Nouns and Verbs of Security

reflection
4. The Nouns and Verbs of Security
If all you want is data protection, put it on
tape and store it in a Kansas cavern
The point of security is to maximize the
risk-adjusted value of the asset: money in
a bank, not under a mattress
Infosec is therefore a process, not a
product; a mode of travel, not a destination
6. “Who” Matters So Much More than “Where”
"There are five common factors that lead
to the compromise of database
information":
• ignorance
• poor password management
• rampant account sharing
• unfettered access to data
• excessive portability of data
DarkReading.com, October 2009
8. Single-Tenant vs. Multi-Tenant Clouds
In a multi-tenant environment, all
applications run under a common trust
model: more manageable, more consistent,
more subject to rigorous scrutiny by trained
specialists (internal & customer)
Shared infrastructure
Other apps
Single tenancy entails creation of multiple
software stacks, whether real or virtual:
each layer in each stack represents a
distinct opportunity for misconfiguration or
other sources of security risk

Bottom-Up Design to be “Shared and Secure”
11. Expanding legislation, regulation, mainstream mind share
Rising standard of due diligence
Desktop/laptop systems carry far too much “state”
– More data than people actually use
– Far too much data that user may easily lose
– More than one version of what should be one shared truth
Cloud’s Solutions:
– Logical view of exactly one database
– Profile definitions manage privilege sets
– Activity logs precisely record actions
Governance: More Eyes, More Agendas
12. Strong Session Management
Every row in the database contains an ORG_ID - Unique encoded string
Session Tokens – user unique, non-predictable long random value generated for
each session combined with a routing “hint” and checksum, base64 encoded
Contains no user-identifiable information
Session Timeout – 15 Mins to 8 Hrs
Lock Sessions to IP – prevent hijacking and replay attacks
SSLv3/TLS used to prevent token capture / session hijacking
Session Logout – Explicitly expire and destroy the session
Common Controls + Customer Choices

World-Class Defense in Depth
“There are some strong technical security arguments in favor of Cloud
Computing… (Craig Balding, Fortune 500 security practitioner)
