Breaking down the cyber security framework closing critical it security gapsIBM Security
Cyber crime is pervasive and here to stay. Whether you work in the Public Sector, Private Sector, are the CEO for a Fortune 500 Company or trying to sustain a SMB everyone is under attack. This February, President Obama, issued an executive order aimed at protecting critical business and government infrastructure due to the scale and sophistication of IT security threats that have grown at an explosive rate. Organizations and Government agencies have to contend with industrialized attacks, which, in some cases, rival the size and sophistication of the largest legitimate computing efforts. In addition, they also have to guard against a more focused adversary with the resources and capabilities to target highly sensitive information, often through long-term attack campaigns. Many security executives are struggling to answer questions about the most effective approach.
Cyber Risks & Liabilities - Cyber Security for Small Businessesntoscano50
High-profile cyber attacks on companies such as Target and Sears have raised awareness of the growing threat of cybercrime. Recent surveys conducted by the Small Business Authority, Symantec, Kaspersky Lab and the National Cybersecurity Alliance suggest that many small business owners are still operating under a false sense of cyber security.
The statistics of these studies are grim; the vast majority of U.S. small businesses lack a formal Internet security policy for employees, and only about half have even rudimentary cybersecurity measures in place. Furthermore, only about a quarter of small business owners have had an outside party test their computer systems to ensure they are hacker proof, and nearly 40 percent do not have their data backed up in more than one location.

Enterprises are constantly working to implement new, faster, better technology to run their businesses. In turn, cyberattackers are working equally as hard to find ways to breach that technology, and security professionals are churning out solutions to thwart attacks. This cycle of activity leads to today’s layered, complex enterprise security ecosystems. These ecosystems are like any ecosystem in the natural world, with interdependencies, limited resources, and a need for balance to make them run smoothly. If one layer falters, the whole ecosystem can become unstable.
With the recent introduction of applications as a business driver, the security ecosystem needs to adapt. The application layer is now a critical player, and requires a reworking of the ecosystem to restore balance and security. However, this reworking has yet to happen in many cases, leading to the surge of breaches we’ve seen lately. End-point and network security tend to garner the lion’s share of IT attention – leading to an unbalanced security ecosystem, an exposed application layer, and serious breaches.
It is important to understand all the layers of security and how they work together to secure your enterprise. Start by getting the facts and stats with our new gbook, The Seven Kinds of Security.
Small businesses are more at risk of being hacked then ever before. To build a strong defense against a data breach, its wise to know what types of threats exist.

Top Cyber Security Interview Questions and Answers 2022.pdfCareerera
Cyber security positions have considerably taken the top list in the job market. Candidates vying for elite positions in the field of cyber security certainly need a clear-cut and detailed guide to channeling their preparation for smooth career growth, beginning with getting a job. We have curated the top cyber security interview questions that will help candidates focus on the key areas. We have classified the regularly asked cyber security interview questions here, in this article into different levels starting from basic general questions to advanced technical ones.
Before we move on to the top cyber security interview questions, it is critical to reflect on the vitality of cyber security in our modern times and how cyber security professionals are catering to the needs of securing a safe cyber ecosystem.
The times we live in is defined by the digital transition, in which the internet, electronic devices, and computers have become an integral part of our daily life. Institutions that serve our daily needs, such as banks and hospitals, now rely on internet-connected equipment to give the best possible service. A portion of their data, such as financial and personal information, has become vulnerable to illegal access, posing serious risks. Intruders utilize this information to carry out immoral and criminal goals.
Cyber-attacks have jeopardized the computer system and its arrangements, which has now become a global concern. To safeguard data from security breaches, a comprehensive cyber security policy is needed now more than ever. The rising frequency of cyber-attacks has compelled corporations and organizations working with national security and sensitive data to implement stringent security procedures and restrictions.
Computers, mobile devices, servers, data, electronic systems, networks, and other systems connected to the internet must be protected from harmful attacks. Cybersecurity, which is a combination of the words "cyber" and "security," provides this protection. 'Cyber' imbibes the vast-ranging technology with systems, networks, programs, and data in the aforementioned procedure. The phrase "security" refers to the process of protecting data, networks, applications, and systems. In a nutshell,
cyber security is a combination of principles and approaches that assist prevent unwanted access to data, networks, programs, and devices by meeting the security needs of technological resources (computer-based) and online databases.
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).

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.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

7. What is Cyber Security?
The body of; technologies, processes and practices
designed to protect; networks, computers, programs and data
from attack, damage or unauthorised access.
In a computing context, security includes both cyber security
and physical security.

9. The Problem
Estimated 14,800 cybersecurity incidents affected Australian
businesses in 2015–2016.
Resulting in;
n significant direct and indirect costs associated with a cyber-breach,
n highest monetary cost being for;
– resources to investigate the extent of the intrusion,
– understanding the harm,
– the immediate remediation of the intrusion,
– and the legal costs when impacted third parties may sue for
negligence or breach of contract
10. New Legislation
The government has revealed a draft of the statement it expects
organisations to file if they suffer a data breach after February 22nd, 2018.
Under data breach notification laws passed in mid-February of this year,
organisations that suffer a data breach will need to notify the Australian
Information Commissioner and affected customers “as soon as
practicable.”
They must also assess its severity and the potential harm to those
impacted, and may need to file a formal report.

Is an attractive 29-year-old freelance
photographer.
Lives in London listens to indie
music adores social media.
Hails from Great Wyrley in Staffordshire,
often sports a sexy bob rather like
Audrey Tautou’s in the film Amelie
She doesn’t go for creative professionals…

18. Mia Ash - Fake Persona
A honey trap conceived to steal information.
Creation of hackers linked to Iran.
An illustration of the sophistication of
“social engineering” in cyber espionage.
The scheme lured senior figures in sensitive
industries in the US, Israel, India and Saudi
Arabia to reveal confidential data.
Able to plant snooping S/W on their
computers.
19. What can you do and what’s your role?
Cyber security is the responsibility of
every single person within an organisation.
Your organisation is only as strong as
the weakest link.
20. The Basics
Don’t take the bait – avoid Phishy emails.
Keep your software updated.
Use secured internet connections.
Use multiple strong passwords or
multi-factor authentication.

my mother could follow them (but probably won’t)
21. ASD’s ESSENTIAL 8
The Australian Signals Directorate’s (ASD)
Strategies to Mitigate Cyber Security Incidents
is a prioritised list of practical actions
organisations can take to make their
computers more secure.
The advantage of this guidance is that it is
customisable to each organisation based
on their risk profile and the threats they
are most concerned about.
22. ASD’s ESSENTIAL 8
To prevent malware running:
APPLICATION WHITELISTING
A whitelist only allows selected software applications to run
on computers. Why? All other software applications are
stopped, including malware.
DISABLE UNTRUSTED
MICROSOFT OFFICE MACROS
Microsoft Office applications can use software known as
“macros” to automate routine tasks. Why? Macros are in-
creasingly being used to enable the download of malware.
Adversaries can then access sensitive information, so macros
should be secured or disabled.
PATCH APPLICATIONS
A patch fixes security vulnerabilities in software applications.
Why? Adversaries will use known security vulnerabilities to
target computers.
USER APPLICATION HARDENING
Block web browser access to Adobe Flash player (uninstall
if possible), web advertisements and untrusted Java code
on the internet. Why? Flash, Java and web ads have long
been popular ways to deliver malware to infect computers.
23. ASD’s ESSENTIAL 8
To limit the extent of incidents and recover data:
RESTRICT ADMINISTRATIVE PRIVILEGES
Only use administrator privileges for managing systems,
installing legitimate software and applying software patches.
These should be restricted to only those that need them.
Why? Admin accounts are the ‘keys to the kingdom’,
adversaries use these accounts for full access to information
and systems.
MULTI-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION
This is when a user is only granted access after
successfully presenting multiple, separate pieces of evidence.
Typically: Something you know, like a pass phrase. Something
you have, like a physical token. And/or something you are, like
biometric data. Why? Having multiple levels of authentication
makes it a lot harder for adversaries to access your information.
PATCHING OPERATING SYSTEMS
A patch fixes security vulnerabilities in operating systems.
Why? Adversaries will use known security vulnerabilities to
target computers.
DAILY BACKUP OF IMPORTANT DATA
Regularly back up all data and store it securely offline. Why?
That way your organisation can access data again if it suffers
a cyber security incident.
