Privileged accesss management for den csa user group CA TechnologiesTrish McGinity, CCSK
This document discusses privileged access management and breaking the cyber kill chain. It notes that stealing privileged accounts is a critical success factor for attackers in all advanced attacks. The top 10 best practices for privileged identity management are described, including strong authentication, least privilege, protecting credentials, and logging everything. The document advocates adopting a zero-trust model for privileged access and employing protection, detection and response frameworks focused on privileged identities.
"Configure once, deploy anywhere" is one of the most sought-after enterprise operations requirements. Large-scale IT shops want to keep the flexibility of using on-premises and cloud environments simultaneously while maintaining the monolithic custom, complex deployment workflows and operations. This session brings together several hybrid enterprise requirements and compares orchestration and deployment models in depth without a vendor pitch or a bias. This session outlines several key factors to consider from the point of view of a large-scale real IT shop executive. Since each IT shop is unique, this session compares strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and the risks of each model and then helps participants create new hybrid orchestration and deployment options for the hybrid enterprise environments.
CyberArk is an information security company focused on privileged account security. They help companies protect their most sensitive information and infrastructure by securing privileged accounts. The document outlines best practices for securing privileged accounts at different maturity levels - from baseline to highly effective. It recommends identifying and reducing privileged accounts, enforcing least privilege, and automating password management. For highly effective security, it suggests multi-factor authentication, privileged session recording, and anomaly detection to prevent cyber threats targeting privileged credentials.

This document summarizes the neurobiology of love. It discusses how love relies on trust, pleasure, and reward pathways in the brain involving oxytocin, vasopressin, dopamine, and serotonin. Endorphins and endogenous opioids also play a role. Love ensures survival by facilitating relationships and reproduction. Both parental/maternal love and romantic love share biological functions and likely involve common neurobiology. Love reduces stress and promotes health through social bonding. However, excessive chronic stress can inhibit bonding. The neurobiological mechanisms of love are still being explored but provide insights into relationships, motivation, and well-being.
The document summarizes HHVM, a virtual machine for executing PHP code. Some key points:
- HHVM is a drop-in replacement for PHP that compiles PHP to bytecode and uses a just-in-time (JIT) compiler to optimize for performance.
- It supports most PHP syntax and features like Hack which adds type hints. It also has its own features like async functions, user attributes, and XHP for building components with XHTML syntax.
- HHVM is faster than PHP due to its JIT compiler which performs type inference and compiles hot code paths to native machine code. Benchmark tests show significant performance improvements over PHP for applications like Magento and Symfony.

[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...Jason Yip
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
For the full video of this presentation, please visit: https://www.edge-ai-vision.com/2024/06/how-axelera-ai-uses-digital-compute-in-memory-to-deliver-fast-and-energy-efficient-computer-vision-a-presentation-from-axelera-ai/
Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.
"Choosing proper type of scaling", Olena SyrotaFwdays
Imagine an IoT processing system that is already quite mature and production-ready and for which client coverage is growing and scaling and performance aspects are life and death questions. The system has Redis, MongoDB, and stream processing based on ksqldb. In this talk, firstly, we will analyze scaling approaches and then select the proper ones for our system.
Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their MainframePrecisely
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.

Editor's Notes
Ken Ammon Chief Strategy Officer for XceediumBLACKHAT Joke
Security software company providing Privilege Access Control Solution. Later in the presentation I’ll provide additional color Privileged Identity and access and zero trust.Our product is named Xsuite…now offering Xsuite cloud.We support both Commercial and Government customers We have Headquarters in Herndon VAand development in New Jersey and Ottawa Canada.We maintain FIPS 140-2, Common criteria EAL4+, and Status on the DISA UC-APL
Our customers include some of the most notable commercial brands in the world and important US and International Government agencies.
Start off with an explanation of Privileged Identity and Access Management's application within the federal market. Privileged users are classified into three groups,IT Administrators, Users with elevated risk access such as Foreign NationalsApplications which operate with elevated privilege and require embedded credentialsControls, policy and risk management guidance is addressed in documents such as DoD Policy, the 2011 FISMA report where use of shared accounts is listed as critical area of most need of improvementNIST 800-53 requires a broad set of controls to manage the risk of privileged users and
In order to gain access these privileged users require credentials such as passwords, tokens, certificates.Proper management of these credentials is essential and pressure continues to mount to fully deploy HSPD-12compliant credentials. NIST defines four levels of credential and provides guidelines for applying them based upon risk The recent revised draft of FIPS 201-2 provides details for compliant PIV credentials. These credentials are necessary for contractors and government employees.
Given the elevated risk posed by privileged users and the credentials which enable them we have excellent alignment with ICAM guidance and framework to enable level 4 PIV access for privileged users while eliminating flawed password management implementations. In addition, we support the securing of credentials at rest within privileged applications.
IT executive priorities demand the adoption of new computing models IT reform aligns with austerity and Federal Data Center consolidation, virtualization, and Cloud first strategy have become the poster child for reducing spend.Implementation requires not sacrificing on security or introducing additional cost and complexity. Flexibility, simplicity, cost and scale.
Xceedium provides Xsuite and Xsuite cloud to meet the New enterprise challenge
We eliminate anonymous shared accounts, expensive, redundant, and non-compliant token based systems and Complicated and ineffective homegrown solutions such as jump-box solutionsWe enable Level 4 PIV credentials for privileged access through our centrally managed and highly scalable system all the while enabling ease of management in the new enterprise.Move forward byEmpoweringour customers to move forward with rapid deployment of private and public cloud solutions while meetingkey mandates, policies, and NIST controls.
We have been fortunate to develop our core product alongside the evolution of customer such as the Department of Security. Within DHS our privileged user level 4 PIV integration was largely driven by FDCCI requirements which led to the development of an enterprise wide private cloud. Our system to provide a single point of policy management platform within the privatecloud and component systems. Our DVR like monitoring and audit enable rapid response to violations of policy and reporting for continuous monitoring compliance
Xceedium's experience working with DHS was instrumental in preparing us to extend our offering into the public cloudand we have been fortunate enough to work with Amazon Web Services Cloud solution architect along the way. Xceedium now extends flexibility to our customers with choices of on prem or off-prem credential management and privileged access level 4 PIV card access. Xceedium in combination with FEDRAMP controls enable a zero-trust modelwhere all privileged access is monitored and recorded.
AWS team over 9months and we took advantage of the great API’s toenabled our solution.
New enterprise and zero trustXsuite Cloud provides a single, unified policy management capability across protected nodes regardless of where these nodes live.Zero Trust Controls Include:Vault Passwords – The first step is to change and vault critical passwords (so they don’t show up in spreadsheets) and so privileged users no longer have direct and uncontrolled access to devices through the network or by walking up to the system. This also keeps passwords and credentials off end devices and away from malware & APT that is looking to steal them.Positively ID and Authenticate User – The user logs onto the system forcing a positive user identification. The system supports integration with directories, single-sign-on and two factor ID/Authentication systems.Control Access (White List) – the user is presented a list of ONLY the servers and network devices they are explicitly authorized to access and the methods they can use to access the devices. They don’t see others.Monitor/Record – all activities are logged and the policy can be set to record the session.Filter Commands – the commands the user is enabled to perform can be constrained as required via a white list (allowed) or blacklist (disallowed)Prevent Leapfrogging – “Contain the user” -- prevent the user from jumping from an authorized device to unauthorized devices – for example using “RDP Hopping” or SSH.Attributed Identity When using Shared Accounts – even thought the user may be logged into a shared account – for example as “root” -- Xsuite knows exactly which user is logged in and using the account and what they are doing (no anonymous activity permitted).Log Everything - all of this activity is logged in a tamper proof log files. Session recordings can be reviewed through DVR or Tivo replay capability with skip ahead to tags indication where a policy violation occurred.Alert on Policy Violations – ensure the Security Operations Center and other key people are alerted to policy violations or attempted policy violations – e.g., via email, SIEM/log file integration, SNMP trap.
Xsuite Cloud is a superset of Xceedium’s Xsuite product and will be delivered in two form factors: 1) A Physical Appliance -- with all hardware/software installed and supported2) An Amazon Machine Interface – the entire software stack (Operating System, Xsuite Cloud Platform) on an AMI that can be run on and Amazon EC2 InstanceExisting Xsuite customers can upgrade current Xsuite appliance to Xsuite Cloud.
Xsuite Cloud protects nodes in all key AWS Regions – AWS Public Cloud, AWS GovCloud and AWS Virtual Private CloudXsuite also provides security and separation of Duties for the AWS Management Console. The AWS Management Console is “superuser” account for AWS that enables customers to make changes that can have a financial or operational impact across the full compliment of AWS services (e.g., EC2, S3 Storage, VPC, etc.):Adding/Deleting EC2 InstancesPerform actions on running EC2 InstancesAdding S3 Storage CapacityConfigure Elastic Beanstalk to auto deploy/load balance resourcesEtc.
Xceedium has worked over 9 months with the AWS team. Our experience working with AWS APIs was an exceptional and all of the necessary functionality was intuitive and well documented. All of which enabled us to release a public sector ready GovCloudsolution.The following movie provides an overview of our product and features available to support public sector adoption of the Amazon Web Services Public cloud.
