Personal Digital Hygiene is a concept developed by Lars Hilse. It focusses on reducing the risk of high value individuals, and their exposure and footprint on the digital world, making them less susceptible to kidnapping+ransom, and other (cyber) crimes
Threats have increased exponentially. Current indicators show a massive increase in threat vectors as a result of COVID-19. What makes this more unsettling is the fact that most ransomware will remain dormant for months before activating. Check out this presentation with ATC provider, TPx. Topics covered during this virtual event include: firewall security, firewall software, endpoints, malware, backups and DR, managed security services and TPx MSx.
How to Build a Successful Incident Response ProgramResilient Systems
Building an incident response program can be a cumbersome task when done manually. From identifying incident types and severity to creating a response plan for each incident type, Co3 provides an easy to use, customizable solution for quickly assessing, responding to, and driving incidents to closure. Co3 customer, USA Funds, manages incidents in one tenth of the time that it took previously.
This webinar will guide security practitioners through the process of creating a basic incident response process using Co3's Security Incident Response module. Based on a list of accumulated best practices, this webinar will give team members a good start on creating a successful incident response program to use at their organization.

With each passing year, the security threats facing computer networks have become more technically sophisticated, better organized and harder to detect. At the same time, the consequences of failure to block these attacks have increased. In addition to the economic consequences of financial fraud, we are seeing real-world attacks that impact the reliability of critical infrastructure and national security.
Join Lancope's Director of Security Research to learn about five key challenges that computer security professionals face in 2013, including:
1. State-sponsored espionage and sabotage of computer networks
2. Monster DDoS attacks
3. The loss of visibility and control created by IT consumerization and the cloud
4. The password debacle
5. Insider threats
With more than 50,000 new malware created every day organisations can no longer afford to risk the financial and reputational impacts of a security or data breach, which can be too much for a business to recover from. Because of this, IT managers face increasing scrutiny and pressure from CEOs, managing directors and boards to prove that they are keeping the organisation secure.
The changing threat landscape means organisations need to be vigilant and smarter about security. While businesses still face threats from infected devices and malware, attackers have also moved beyond that. For example, there is an increasing number of targeted email attacks with cyber criminals spending time to monitor communications so they can imitate emails that are so sophisticated that even relatively savvy users will open them.
This webinar will explore the building blocks required to ensure you have the roadmap required to best protection against cyber attacks. We will provide you with a high level view of the following topics:
· Audit and discovery – What are your weaknesses and are you compliant?
· Education – Do your employees know when not to open that attachment?
· Policy – Do you have the right policies for your industry?
· Technology – Where to start and what has changed?
Do you have an incident response plan to cover disasters, cyber-attacks, and other threats to your organization? How confident are you that it will work in a real-world situation? While simply having a plan will help you check the box on the audit, it doesn't guarantee effectiveness in a real situation. Assessing your incident response plans through fire drills, desk top exercises, functional scenarios, and full scale exercises will help your organization truly validate the effectiveness of the plan.
IR assessments are meant to:
- Evaluate plans, policies, and procedures
- Find weaknesses in the plan and gaps in resources
- Improve coordination and communication internally and externally
- Define and validate roles and responsibilities
- Train personnel in their roles and responsibilities
This webinar will provide practical steps for assessing your organization's plans and demonstrate ways to improve them through a methodical and proven approach. After all, whether they're big or small, internal or external, in most any organization incidents occur. Complete plans that have been tested, backed by trained resources and thorough communication, are the proven recipe to minimize the impact of incidents when they occur.
Our featured speakers for this webinar will be:

"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.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
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.

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.

Policies
◦ Strong policies help enforce compliance and define roles and responsibilities
◦ Incident Handling policies provide legal authority to investigate, “sniff”
network traffic, monitor activities
Procedures
◦ Clear, thorough, tested procedures help reduce confusion when tensions are
high
◦ Checklists
◦ Notification procedures – legal, PR, law enforcement
14. Preparation: Communications
Define a communications plan
◦ Email and phone may be down or compromised; make sure you have cell
numbers
◦ Identify alternate contacts
◦ Don’t forget to include IT vendor, network provider, etc.
◦ Law enforcement
◦ Test your calling tree at least annually
◦ Keep paper copies and keep them up to date
15. Preparation: Testing and
Practice
Perform incident handling
tabletop exercises
◦ When problems are identified,
be sure to update procedures
Perform live response exercise annually
16. Identification: Sources
Logs / SIEM
◦ When in doubt, err on excessive logging
◦ NSA – Spotting the adversary document
◦ Firewalls
◦ Authentication success & fail
◦ AV / IDS
◦ DHCP
◦ DNS
◦ Web servers
Helpdesk
3rd parties & business partners
17. Identification: Assessment
First priority is to determine if a security incident occurred
Document the following
◦ Affected machine(s)
◦ Logged on users
◦ Open network connections
◦ Running processes
◦ How incident was identified
◦ Who reported it
◦ When it was reported
◦ What was happening
18. Containment
Focus is stopping the spread
Follow documented containment procedures
Isolate affected host(s)
◦ Pull network cable / power down / firewall off
◦ Use attack signatures to build rules
◦ email / web filtering / IPS
Image affected machines, store offline
◦ Tested forensics procedures are essential
Continue documenting all activities

19. Containment: Notification
Now is the time to activate the incident response team
Follow communications plan, notify internal parties as appropriate
If you’re going to contact law enforcement, now is the time
Contact legal counsel
20. Eradication
Focus is removal and restoration of affected systems
Wipe / Rebuild / Restore
Apply missing patches
Scan for indicators of compromise
Apply mitigations – firewall / WAF / IDS / update AV
Change passwords
21. Recovery
Goal is to bring systems back online without causing another incident
Verify issue is resolved
Increase monitoring
◦ Determine duration of increased monitoring
22. Mistakes Happen
Success does not consist in never making mistakes, but in never making
the same one a second time.
– George Bernard Shaw
23. Lessons Learned
Be sure to hold a lessons learned session after breach
◦ Hold within two weeks
◦ Identify what failed and why
◦ Implement fixes and update documentation
24. Execution
Document all steps in a notebook
◦ Helps to have one person working, another keeping notes
Measure twice, cut once… First, do no harm…
◦ In other words, don’t be too hasty
Step back to see the forest
for the trees
25. Summary
All sizes of organizations are being attacked
Effective incident response is about preparation and practice, not about
tools!
Incident response plans are key to recovery and limiting lossses
There is a vast array of resources available to help you build your plan
