We need to make sure the highly regulated world of cannabis business knows how to protect its data, customer and otherwise, yet also control access to it without too much hassle.
As an insurgent breed, hackers are savvy and will seek out the path of least resistance. When your defenses are good, the weak link is often your employees.
Data breaches are most likely to be the result of employee error or an inside job, says the ACC Foundation: State of Cybersecurity Report.
Of course you want to maintain normal operations around your firewalls, malware defenses and data protection. But all too often employees are an afterthought.
Don’t Let Sleeping Dogs Sleep
Some unscrupulous former employees may see an opportunity to profit.
Inactive user accounts are ripe for exploitation by attackers. By using legitimate, but inactive, accounts, a former employee can easily impersonate legitimate users and mask their nefarious activity.
There’s also serious potential risk involved when accounts associated with former employees or temporary contractors are not deleted when employment ends. They may be left with unauthorized access to sensitive data, which is especially dangerous if the split wasn’t amicable.
Simple Rules for Sleeping Dogs
There are a few simple rules you can put in place to ensure inactive accounts aren’t a potential route in for attackers or a potential route out for sensitive data.
Account access should be revoked immediately when an employee or contractor is terminated or leaves for any reason. You may prefer to disable access rather than delete accounts.
Accounts should be monitored and flagged if they don’t have an associated business process and owner.
Automatically log off users after a period of inactivity and use screen locks to guard against access via unattended computers.
Be vigilant for failed log-ins and attempts to access deactivated accounts.
Profile user behavior so that log-ins at odd times of the day or night, or log-ins from new devices, are flagged.
You’ll also want to enforce multi-factor authentication wherever possible, ensure that passwords and user names are fully encrypted, and configure and authenticate centrally.
Careful account monitoring is especially important at large organizations where breaches are more than twice as likely, according to that same ACC Foundation report.
Gap Analysis and Training to Fill Gaps
It’s easy to focus in on the technology that you need to employ to bolster your cyber security defenses and forget that people can neatly sidestep all your efforts by taking the wrong action.
Perhaps your IT staff isn’t quick enough to patch or review logs. Maybe your security policies are not enforced in any meaningful way, or your employees don’t know any better than to click on a malicious link in a phishing email.
Attackers will go to great lengths to exploit any weaknesses or gaps here, and in many cases, they can persuade people to effectively lower the defenses and let them in.
The first thing to do here is to perform gap analysis and find where employees lack the skills required to implement your cyber security plans and policies. You have to know where they are going wrong before you can steer things rights.
Provide relevant training via outside experts, or even conferences and online courses. Make learning modules bite-sized and easy to understand. They must be updated to reflect the latest threats, and employees should complete them every few months. No one should be immune from this.
Senior management may be resistant, but they actually pose the greatest risk if a phishing attack is successful. They should complete the same training.
Putting the Fox in the Hen House
As a way to test how porous employees could be, the largest bank in the country tested staff with a fake phishing email after it suffered a data theft just a few weeks prior. Despite increasing their cyber security spend, 20 percent of these employees clicked on the bogus email. Had it been real, that action would have downloaded a malicious payload onto the bank’s network.
If you don’t take some time out to spend resources on awareness for employees and specific training where necessary, then you can unroll all your good efforts to improve your security and keep your business intact.
As you can imagine, the disruption to business from an attack is no picnic.

More than 700 WordPress and Joomla websites have recently been identified as being infected with IonCube Malware. About 7000 files in all have been compromised. Such websites had been compromised with legal encoded files from IonCube. This malware corrupted main CDN files for the WordPress platform, such as “wrgcduzk.php” and “diff98.php.”
In short, IonCube is essentially a PHP encoder used with PHP encoding, obfuscation, encryption, and licensing capabilities for encrypting and securing files. Hackers are known to use the IonCube malware to build a loophole on compromised websites that allows them to steal Victims data.
Researchers must have been using words like “Joomla hacked” and “WordPress hacked” to decode this hacking incident as part of their effort. At the initial level, the researchers were able to detect WordPress site files of IonCube Malware that encoded with IonCube, considered one of the oldest and extremely difficult to reverse PHP obfuscation technologies. Further research exposed the fact that this malware infected CodeIgniter and Joomla files and is now accessible on almost all PHP-running web servers. It was found, according to SiteLock, that the files did not regularly follow malicious naming rules, referring to the fact that harmless files with names such as “menu.php” and “inc.php” contained this malware, too.
The researchers also discovered the fake script, identical to the real IonCube script, to have a code block after the PHP close tags. But unlike the real script, this code block consists of only alphanumeric characters and newlines. What was further found is that not every valid IonCube file reference to the domain ioncube.com was present in the fake files.

As you're more than likely aware, email is an essential part of our personal and professional lives. However, with the increasing volume of emails sent and received daily, email security is becoming more crucial than ever before.
Cyberattacks are on the rise, and threat actors are targeting emails as an easy way to gain access to sensitive information. Just last year, there was a 48% increase in cyberattacks Opens a new window attempting to breach via email, which for many companies is the weakest link in their cyber security stance.
Email security involves protecting your email accounts, messages, and attachments from unauthorized access, theft, and manipulation. This can be done through a variety of measures, including encryption, password protection, and two-factor authentication.
There are several reasons why email security is becoming more and more essential:
Data breaches: Email is a common target for cybercriminals because it often contains sensitive information, such as financial details, personal information, and intellectual property. A data breach can result in significant financial losses, irreparable damage to a company's reputation, and legal liability.
Phishing attacks: Phishing attacks are often carried out through email, and they can be challenging to detect. A successful phishing attack can result in identity theft, financial losses, and other forms of fraud.
Malware: Malware can be delivered through email attachments or links, and it can infect a user's computer without their knowledge. Once infected, malware can steal sensitive information, damage files, and even take control of a user's computer.
Organizations should consider implementing strategies to combat security issues surrounding email such as enacting a strong password policy, enabling two-factor authentication, encrypting sensitive information, and educating users on how to identify and avoid phishing attacks. As cyberattacks continue to evolve and become more sophisticated, organizations can put in place best practices to protect their sensitive information and reduce the risk of cybercrime.
If shoring up your email protection is a current priority for you or your org, we invite you to join us for a session entitled: Why Email Protection is Fundamental to Any Organization Opens a new window, tomorrow, Thursday March 16th at 2PM CT/ 3PM ET as we discuss how a layered approach to securing email can improve your org’s security posture. Register to attend here Opens a new window.
We’d love to hear more about the experiences of those in our community.

I'll hazard to make the claim that any email address older than a year, has probably been targeted in at least one way or another. We see them every day. The technical safeguards catch a lot of them, and our "human firewalls" do a pretty good job as well.
For anyone not using KnowBe4 or a competitors security awareness training products, that is the most cost effective spend you can make on cybersecurity. Use properly, a simulated phishing campaign will produce measurable improvement in that facet of your attack surface. And by "properly" I mean frequent and regular. Don't think of those simulations as a test. They are a training tool and the more often the users are forced to exercise their "awareness", they better they will be at doing so.

With the rise in digital transformation and innovation, threat actors are on the hunt. Take ransomware as an example. In 2021, ransomware attacks increased by 13 percent, surpassing the last five years combined, as ransomware-as-a-service has proliferated on the dark web.
Companies are dealing with unmanaged attack surfaces — in part due to security debt incurred back in 2020, as the pandemic forced businesses online and workers to remote offices. Many companies are still recovering financially from investing in new business-as-usual requirements, as touchless payments, online delivery, and remote work are now the norm. To combat the lag in security, new compliance mandates are in motion to help set new security standards for today’s modern digital businesses.
These changes have added more work for DevOps remediation tasks. Meanwhile, security and technology leaders must accelerate risk remediation — it’s one of the last levers that can significantly mitigate cybersecurity risk nowadays.
Developers are not trained to secure code in the CI/CD pipeline.
Security Analysts are alert-fatigued and flooded with hundreds of daily alerts from out-of-tune, out-of-the-box security tools. Investigating and triaging false positives with DevOps is a waste of their limited time and increases the risk of missing actual threats.
DevOps Engineers can’t mitigate vulnerabilities fast enough, thanks to the same false positive and duplicative alerts the SOC is dealing with, in addition to scan-sensitive, difficult-to-patch legacy systems, zero-day exploits with POCs online, and increasing internal demand for compliant systems.
Why are these challenges not solved yet? When surveyed, security practitioners’ answers are the same: there aren’t enough resources, time, or experienced staff to get these mission-critical jobs done.
Technology leaders that enable DevOps for rapid remediation can help stop preventable incidents before they impact security operations. When integrated with a penetration testing service, DevOps can take immediate, impactful actions on remediation findings in the initial pentesting report. Taking it one step further, CTOs have a new option to reduce their TCO with a penetration testing as a service (PTaaS) provider. A trusted PTaaS provider integrates DevOps within the penetration testing lifecycle — enabling rapid remediation during the actual pentesting engagement. With PTaaS, technology leaders can measurably improve security outcomes and meet their compliance requirements at the same time (HIPAA, PCI-DSS, CCPA, GDPR, SOC 2 Type 2).
The PTaaS Approach to Rapid Remediation
It’s no coincidence that the demand for penetration testers has increased lately, starting back in 2020. With the recent shift to touchless payments, fast delivery, and remote work, companies now run business operations in cloud-native, multi-cloud, and hybrid environments. The demand for penetration testing services has increased and is projected to continue for many years to come.
At the same time, the workforce gap is widening globally. Cybersecurity Ventures reveals an alarming gap of 3.5 million unfilled cybersecurity jobs globally, with approximately 700,000 open roles in North America alone. The 2022 (ISC)² Workforce Study highlighted 70 percent of surveyed cybersecurity professionals think their organization does not have enough cybersecurity employees. The workforce gap has made it difficult — and expensive — to attract, hire, and retain certified ethical hackers and DevOps engineers. Mission-critical staffing for penetration testing and rapid risk remediation has become “Mission Impossible.”
Regardless of the staffing constraints, CISOs understand that time is of the essence to stop a preventable breach from occurring. In this year’s annual Penetration Testing Intelligence Report, BreachLock researchers revealed it takes an average of 46 days to remediate critical findings, including vulnerabilities like authentication bypass and hard coded credentials (two vulns that need rapid remediation before an attacker finds them). Further calling out the need for rapid remediation, recent research on ransomware attacks showed that new TTPs can encrypt networks in four short days. Improving remediation speed is no longer an optional consideration for DevOps and security operations — it’s a pivotal risk management strategy.
In today’s era where zero-day vulnerabilities are published online with step-by-step PoCs, and ransomware-as-a-service and initial access brokers offer footholds on high value targets via dark web auctions, CTOs and CISOs that prioritize rapid remediation in 2023 will significantly improve security outcomes and measurably reduce overall security risks.
The security risks associated with digital transformation in the cloud must be managed proactively to achieve a fortified security posture. Due to the complexity with Governance Risk & Compliance mandates and frameworks, which include pentesting and offensive security requirements, DevOps and SOC workstreams are the key to managing rapid risk mitigation tasks.
Before we move on, let us ensure that we’re on the same page regarding PTaaS. Normally, a company would have to hire an internal team or pay for services from an outside firm to undergo periodic testing. Penetration Testing as a Service, also known as PTaaS, automates and streamlines the penetration testing process by outsourcing it to a vendor with the proper capabilities, which include automation, artificial intelligence for scanning, and gathering digital forensics evidence. Certified ethical hackers review automated findings, remove false positives, and provide remediation guidance within the window of the penetration testing lifecycle.
With the right PTaaS provider, DevOps is brought in for rapid remediation early, before the final penetration testing report is delivered. This saves organizations time and money on compliance-related DevOps remediation, freeing up funds to reallocate to other priority initiatives that will help secure the business (e.g., migrating patch-sensitive legacy systems) and prevent threats that would ultimately impact security operations.
What are the Benefits of PTaaS over traditional penetration testing?
By consolidating penetration testing services with one PTaaS vendor, the central Cloud Engineering team can focus on mitigating identified risks instead of conducting the tests themselves. This saves time and energy that would be wasted otherwise. PTaaS also offers remediation within the penetration testing lifecycle, which provides DevOps teams access to remediation guidance and expert customer support to quickly address any initial vulnerabilities that are identified.
Not only does PTaaS allow for faster risk remediation, but it is also more affordable and provides access to greater expertise and resources. Switching to PTaaS can improve your risk remediation by 50 percent or higher. It is an excellent solution for any organization looking to enhance its security posture.
The days of traditional penetration testing are numbered because a superior solution has arrived — penetration testing as a service. PTaaS is an affordable and time-saving way for companies to keep their security vulnerabilities in check. In today’s ever-changing digital landscape, PTaaS allows organizations to stay ahead of threats and continuously monitor and remediate vulnerabilities.

In order to keep your computer free of malware, we recommend that you always have an antivirus program installed, especially when downloading and installing new programs from the web. At least once a day, run its database update program. This will allow your antivirus to stay up to date with the latest badware threats and better protect your computer data.
If you don't have a powerful antivirus solution already protecting your computer, you should install one from our recommendations: Avast Free, AVG Free, Avira Free, Bitdefender, Kaspersky (50% Discount), NOD32.
2. Choose a safe web browser
An important aspect to keep in mind is what web browser you use. Most browser exploits and viruses target Internet Explorer so it's best you consider an alternative. The safest web browsers available Today are considered to be Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. Besides being free, they are both fast, have pop-up blocking, tabbed browsing, with privacy and security features. Give them a try: Download Mozilla Firefox or Download Google Chrome.
3. Learn more about securing your PC

Just like taxes, data breaches aren’t going away anytime soon. In fact, in 2023, Gartner expects over $188.3 billion will be spent on risk management and security solutions.
So how can we invest that money? Well, the data breach response plan (DBRP) is an information security solution that every business needs to have in its security toolkit. Essentially an emergency response plan, an effective DBRP can help us respond to a security breach quickly, investigate the cause better than Magnum P.I. and help limit as much damage as possible to keep our operations moving.
When we’re making a DBRP, there are 6 things we need to include to make our plans as foolproof as possible.
1. A data breach response team
The data breach response team is a squad of employees that maintain all aspects of our DBRPs – planning, execution, maintenance, etc. They’re the Charlie’s Angels to our organisations, helping to protect us from data breaches while updating our data security strategies. The members of a response team are often the first ones to jump into action when a security breach is discovered.
Members of response teams need to come from all departments as diverse expertise can make more efficient response plans. A DBRP needs to have a section on who the individual members are, their roles, and how they can be contacted.
2. Incident response procedures and policies
When it comes to cyber security, we can’t leave things for another day. If malicious entities want to acquire our business’ sensitive information, then we need to have security measures in place to respond to them ASAP. Our DBRPs need to have incident response practices and policies – regulations that outline how we will respond to a data breach.
Times and dates of unauthorised access.
The entities the breach affects.
The breach’s nature and the amount of damage it inflicted.
Our records need to be more detailed than an award-winning photograph. Gathering more information about a breach will allow us to bring our A-game when answering customers’ questions. As a bonus, it also gives us insights into our security culture and posture, helping us to improve them and reduce data breaches.
4. Contact details for necessary personnel
This point is so important it has to have its own section! During a crisis, being able to contact the right people can help us kickstart our emergency response plans as seamlessly as possible. The contact details – phone numbers, email addresses, and names – a company puts into its data breach response plan need to be updated whenever they’re changed. It’s also a great idea to get in touch with these personnel regularly to guarantee that details are never out of date.
During a breach, we can’t afford to spend time looking up the contact numbers of law enforcement agencies or key players in our data security strategies. If we gather all this information early and catalogue it, everything will be right at our fingertips, making our plans more responsive and taking some of the stress of the situation away.
By developing communication plans, we can keep our messages consistent and clear for all parties. Trust us, transparency will help smooth out any wrinkles while the breach is being investigated.
6. Security awareness and training
Knowing how to handle data breaches and upholding data protection regulations can take an organisation’s cyber security culture from a solid C to an A+. A data breach response plan is made better when cyber security awareness training is incorporated into it. With routine training sessions, we can educate our employees on how to better protect themselves and company data from threats.
Let’s protect ourselves with a comprehensive DBRP
Protecting data is integral to organisational success. If a cybercriminal were to gain access to our networks, the aftermath would be less than ideal. But, with a security breach emergency response plan in place, we can mitigate risks and respond to threats simultaneously.

Unlike the Security Operations Centre (SOC) and Incident Response (IR) teams, threat hunters not only respond to network threats, they proactively search for them. This involves making hypotheses on the existence of potential threats, which are then either confirmed or disproven on the basis of collected data.
“However, the reality within corporate IT is often different,” says Markus Auer, Regional Sales Manager CE at ThreatQuotient. “In many teams, the distinction between SOC, IR and threat hunting is too blurred, and threat hunters are used for reactive processes contrary to their actual role.”
The study confirms that most threat hunters react to alerts (40%) or data such as indicators of compromise from the SIEM (57%). Only 35% of participants say that they work with hypotheses during threat hunting – a process that should be part of the arsenal of every threat hunter.
“Responding to threats is important for security, but it is not the main task of the threat hunter. They should be looking for threats that bypass defenses and never trigger an alert,” Auer emphasises.
Targeted threat discovery is important
The fact that threat hunting is still in its infancy is evident based on suboptimal prioritization of resources. “Many companies are still in the implementation phase and are more willing to spend money on tools than on qualified experts or training existing employees to be threat hunters,” says Mathias Fuchs, Certified Instructor at SANS and co-author of the study.
“When threat hunting is carried out, it is more of an ad hoc approach than a planned program with budget and resources.” In fact, 71% of participating companies consider technology to be first or second in terms of resource allocation for threat hunting. Only 47% of respondents focus on hiring new personnel and 41% on training employees.
Due to the proactive nature of threat hunting, companies often find it difficult to accurately measure the economic benefits of these security measures. Ideally, the experts prevent threats from becoming a critical problem in the first place. However, 61% of respondents said their overall IT security status has improved by at least 11% due to threat hunting.
These figures show that targeted threat discovery is important and that investing in dedicated threat hunting teams delivers measurable improvement in IT security for organizations.

- GetSimpleCMS Version 3.2.1 suffers from arbitrary file upload vulnerability which allows an attacker to upload a HTML page.
- The main reason of this vulnerability is that the application uses a blacklist technique to compare the file aganist mime types and extensions.
- If the mime type or the extension is in the blacklist array , the application won't upload it.
- For exploiting this vulnerability we will create a file with mutiple extensions for example "exploit.html.fr"
- The application will check the mime type and extension of the file which is "fr" aganist the blacklist array mime type and extensions.
- and ofcourse "fr" extension won't be in the blacklist array so the application will upload it successfully.
- The uploaded file will be under the "data/uploads/" folder.

IBM has made yet another move to expand and enhance its Identity and Access Management (IAM) offerings, today announcing that it has acquired the business operations of Lighthouse Security Group, LLC.
Founded in 2007, Lincoln, Rhode Island-based Lighthouse Security offers a cloud-hosted IAM gateway platform, which includes a suite of functionality based on IBM Security Identity and Access Management capabilities - including user provisioning, identity lifecycle governance, single sign-on, enterprise user registry services, federation, and user self service.
The move to acquire Lighthouse, which has been an IBM Business Partner, follows IBM's very recent acquisition of CrossIdeas, a privately held Italian cybersecurity Startup that makes Access Governance software to help organizations manage user access to applications and data across on-premise and cloud environments.
According to IBM, integrating the technologies from Lighthouse and CrossIdeas will help the company offer a full suite of security software and services that protect and manage a user's identity.
"Business models are rapidly evolving as employees conduct more of their work offsite. Protecting this data and who has access to it has become a challenge, costing our clients time and money," said Kris Lovejoy, General Manager, IBM Security Services. "With this acquisition, IBM provides a unique identity and access management offering that combines proven software and analytics technology with expert managed services that make it easy for businesses to tackle the complexities of security in this new digital world."
IBM has made more than a dozen acquisitions in security over the past decade and has had double-digit revenue growth for six consecutive quarters, with the company holding the #4 spot in the overall security software market in 2013, according to IDC.
Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

During the holiday shopping season, shoppers are looking for the perfect gifts. At the same time, criminals are looking for sensitive data. This data includes credit card numbers, financial accounts and Social Security numbers. Cybercriminals can use this information to file a fraudulent tax return.
This tip is part of National Tax Security Awareness Week. The IRS is partnering with state tax agencies, the tax industry and groups across the country to remind people about the importance of data protection.
Anyone with an online presence can do a few simple things to protect their identity and personal information. Following these eight steps can also help taxpayers protect their tax return and refund in 2018:
Shop at familiar online retailers. Generally, sites with an “s” in “https” at the start of the URL are secure. Users can also look for the “lock” icon in your browser’s URL bar. That said, some criminals may get a security certificate, so the “s” may not always mean a site is legitimate.
Avoid unprotected Wi-Fi. Users should not do online financial transactions when using unprotected public Wi-Fi. Unprotected public Wi-Fi hotspots may allow thieves to view transactions.
Learn to recognize and avoid phishing emails that pose as a trusted source. These emails can come from a source that looks like a legitimate bank or even the IRS. These emails may include a link that takes the user to a fake website. From there, the thieves can steal usernames and passwords.
Keep a clean machine. This includes computers, phones and tablets. Users should install security software to protect against malware that may steal data. This software also protects against viruses that may damage files.
Use passwords that are strong, long and unique. Experts suggest a minimum of 10 characters. Use a combination of letters, numbers and special characters. Use a different password for each account.
Use multi-factor authentication when available. Some financial institutions, email providers and social media sites allow users to set their accounts for multi-factor authentication. This means users may need a security code, usually sent as a text to their mobile phone, in addition to a username and password.
Sign up for account alerts. Some financial institutions will send email or text alerts to an account holder when there is a withdrawal or change to their accounts. Generally, people can check their account profile to see what added protections may be available.
Encrypt sensitive data and protect it with a password. People who keep financial records, tax returns or any personal information on their computer should protect this data. Users should also back up important data to an external source. When disposing of a computer, mobile phone or tablet, people should make sure they wipe the hard drive of all information before trashing.
Remember that all of the web page addresses for the official IRS website, IRS.gov, begin with http://www.irs.gov. Don' t be confused or misled by Internet sites that end in .com, .net, .org or other designations instead of .gov. The address of the official IRS governmental Web site is http://www.irs.gov/.

Cybersecurity fundamentals refer to the basic principles and concepts that are essential for maintaining the security of computer systems, networks, and data from unauthorized access, theft, damage, or other malicious activities. Some of the key cybersecurity fundamentals include
Confidentiality: The information should be kept secret and only accessed by authorized individuals.
Integrity: The information should be accurate and not tampered with.
Availability: The information should be accessible to authorized individuals when they need it.
Authorization: The process of granting or denying access to a resource or service.
These cybersecurity fundamentals are essential for any cybersecurity strategy and are crucial for protecting sensitive information and systems from potential cyber-attacks.
Backups are classified into two types: remote backups (offline) and cloud storage (online). The pros and downsides of various solutions vary. Remote backup services are convenient and economical, but they are inconveniently located and difficult to use from any place. Cloud solutions, on the other hand, can be accessed from anywhere and are ideal for a firm that functions from many locations.
Yet, because anything connected to the internet poses a cyber security risk, vital papers should have their digital vault with encryption passwords. The cloud computing solution is highly secure, with robust network security, application security, and cloud security, thanks to a database and infrastructure security management system. Also, robust mobile security improves cloud computing security.

@MJK9550: This question has been asked and answered many times (just do a quick search on the forums). The most popular implementations are AWS (public) and OpenStack (private) for cloud certifications. OpenStack is the open source alternative for building your own cloud. It's mostly geared towards Managed Service Providers as well as Telcos and has a huge community consisting of hundreds of companies that routinely update the features/source code. AWS is Amazon's cloud offering, is well established in terms of market share and features, and makes sense to deploy in small environments or even for disaster recovery/business continuity functions.
@Afaque: VMware vSphere suite by itself is not a cloud solution.
Read a Cloud+ book to get an idea of what the cloud landscape (that's an interesting picture) looks like, cover the basics, and then look again. It is easy to say "AWS" or "Azure" or "MCSE Private Cloud" or Google or Office365 or Salesforce or CCSP, but if you can't place those in the cloud landscape, it's hard to know how to get where you want to get to, or even where to aim for.
^^^This right here. The "Cloud" is a big tent. It would be best to understand a little in order to ask which cert would be best for you.

Hybrid project management has gained popularity due to its ability to effectively bridge traditional and agile methods. A major challenge faced by many Project Managers is knowing how to effectively plan, identify, and manage risks when using a hybrid approach.
There is confusion in industry on what risk management is in a hybrid project environment. From experience, this is driven by the lack of practical understanding of risk management basics and further compounded by confusion on how traditional and agile approaches may be successfully integrated to increase the probability of project and organizational success.

Google has announced that it will partner with major movie studios to stream a number of full-length films and TV shows for free on YouTube. The studios involved in the launch of this premium content section will include Sony, CBS, MGM, Lionsgate, Starz, and the BBC. The movies will be ad-supported, and ad revenue will be shared with the content owners. Those who love YouTube's user-generated video offerings should not fret, however, as those will remain on the site separate from the premium offerings.
Google has been growing its collection of full-length movies as of late, with MGM announcing in November of 2008 that it would begin adding some of its films to YouTube, starting with films like The Magnificent Seven and Bulletproof Monk. Then, earlier this month, rumors spread that Sony was working on a similar deal to add films to YouTube. Now, with MGM, Sony, and a handful of others on board, YouTube has taken a giant step in the right direction to figuring out how to monetize the site.
The premium-content section comes as some analysts predict that YouTube will lose almost $500 million this year due to bandwidth consumption, licensing fees, the difficulty in monetizing content, and other expenses. "In our view, the issue for YouTube going forward is to increase the percentage of its videos that can be monetized (likely through more deals with content companies) and to drive more advertiser demand through standardization of ad formats and improved ad effectiveness," Credit Suisse analysts Spencer Wang and Kenneth Sena said earlier this month.
So far, it looks like that premonition is coming true. The launch of the premium content section of YouTube will come with a site redesign to highlight the changes while keeping YouTube's main focus on user-generated clips. YouTube says that it plans to sprinkle video ads inside of the movie streams like Hulu (and unlike the rest of YouTube, which largely relies on ads being placed around the video on the page). Unfortunately, those outside the US will have to wait for the studios to like you again, as the premium content will be limited to US viewers only.
The move marks a more friendly relationship between YouTube and the studios, who have historically been wary of the ease with which users could upload copyrighted clips—indeed, that is the crux of Viacom's $1 billion lawsuit against YouTube. It will also put YouTube more directly in competition with the NBC-owned Hulu, which already streams a wide variety of full-length movies and TV shows. Hulu's carefully sandboxed approach to online video has been very attractive to content owners as of late, but YouTube is still the far more popular site. Premium content is what will help both YouTube and the studios make money online, and if there's one thing studios like, it's making money.

A June 11 report by network and enterprise security company Palo Alto Networks has found that around 5 percent of all Monero (XMR) in circulation was mined maliciously.
According to the research, the mining has been done via cryptojacking, the practice of using other users’ computers’ processing power to mine for cryptocurrencies without the owners’ permission.

Infiltrate. Ransomware attacks generally start with a phishing email that will contain a file which seems to be trustworthy. Oftentimes, the email will look very convincing as if it is from a trusted source. Once the file is opened, the malware will gain access to your system. Another avenue of infiltration is “malvertising.” an advertisement which contains the ransomware.
Encrypt. Once the malware is downloaded, hackers will have access to all of the files in your computer/device/system. Hackers will then choose to encrypt the files that they deem to be the most important which will restrict access to those with a specific decryption key.
Extort. Once your files have been encrypted, thieves will demand payment of a ransom in exchange for a decryption key. This key will allow you to regain access to your files. Often, ransomware will come with a “countdown” which only gives the infected a few days to pay the ransom. This is another tactic which pushes the infected party toward paying the ransom.
Remove. After paying the ransom, you will receive the decryption key, thus regaining access to your files. However, the ransomware isn’t actually removed from your device until someone manually removes it.
Ransomware is scary because all it takes is one wrong click and you could be in a world of hurt. What is ransomware? Hopefully, one answer to that question is: “Something you never have to experience.”

The July security update for Nokia 3 is a 83.1MB download, and is now available. If you have not already received a notification for the update then you can also check manually. The availability of the update can also be checked by heading to Settings -> System -> Advanced -> System Update -> Check for update. Nokia recommends downloading the update over a stable Wi-Fi network. The changelog accompanying the update only mentions July security update. The download package suggests that Nokia 3 is not getting any other updates.
The Android security bulletin for July 2019 revealed that the update fixes a critical security vulnerability in media framework. The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code within the context of a privileged process using a specially crafted file. But, Google says there are no reports of active customer exploitation or abuse of issues reported. The July security patch also issues fixes for issues found in Library, Framework and System level bugs. The July security patch signed 2019-07-05 also brings additional fixes for Qualcomm components and Qualcomm closed-source components.

VideoReDo Plus 2.5.6.512” under the Programs section; 2. Find the program that needs to be gone, double-click it to process the clean-up. After a couple of “next” buttons, click on “Finish”.
3. Don’t forget you still got its registry entries to manage, while nearly 90% of computer users do. To finish that, you may need to acquire the verified publisher’s name, then locate those little rogues in Registry Editor. How to open it: Windows 7 user: Click on “Start” in the left lower corner → enter “Regedit” to open “Windows Registry Editor”. Windows 8 user: Hover your mouth in the right lower corner → click
Among several folders, unfold: HKEY_CURRENT_USER/software/(verified publisher)/ → delete W.H.A.T.E.V.E.R you see under the directory.

Totally continue your reading if you: Absent-mindedly skipped one of the steps above; Have no guts to mess with the Registry thing; Simply don’t feel like doing it step by step; Got the mission failed for no reason; Think your computer is still numb (Trying to hasten it by beating the mainframe will only make things worse, since it’s not a creature).
You can say almost all the computer issues could be worked out by simply renewing the operating system. The point is you don’t know how to do it on your own (If you do, please regard this as words I’m saying to non tech-savvy people, no offense).
And every time after the renewing, tons of registry repair workload awaits, as well as dozens of programs that need to be downloaded again. Yes, reinstalling the system means to reset your computer’s C drive, but only C drive. Those nuisances are right there living in your other hard disks.

2. Strong Passwords or Passphrases
Is the most used password in your family's life a version of either your first born child's name or family pet followed by a few sequential numbers or birth date? Sorry password children and animals, your time as the favorite must come to an end. Experts now recommend AT LEAST 8 character passwords made up of: a mix of upper and lower case letters, mix of letters and number and at least one special character. Can't remember all your passwords? There are password manager applications available like Google Password Manager, Lass Pass, and 1Password to help families and educators maintain and even generate strong passwords for you.
For extra security try using passphrases instead of passwords. A passphrase is a secret sequence of words or text. It is a longer string of text that make up a phrase or sentence. Passphrases are the next gen of passwords. They are similar to a password but generally longer which adds a layer of security.
Some school issued devices are setup as such that students can only access a limited set of websites and applications approved and setup by the administration. However, don't be afraid to speak up. There are no silly questions when it comes to protecting your child and learning about what technology they will be learning on and what administration has in place to protect the students using them.
Inquire with school administrators on what digital privacy settings are in place to ensure your child's issued device is secure. You may also want to ask for a list of apps that are on the device and what they are being used for. The pandemic has changed many things in life including how school is taught. There are endless amounts of educational apps and websites available for teachers to use. Administrators responsible for setting up school devices should disable download capabilities so nothing can be installed except the approved learning tools. But it does not hurt to ask just to be sure. Back to school night is a good time to address any questions or concerns you may have when it comes to your child's device security settings.

For more than a year and a half now, societies have been in pseudo-war footing to curb the spread of COVID-19. And so, critical infrastructure assets, such as water treatment facilities, pipelines, food distributors, and healthcare facilities, have become plum targets for nefarious actors.
Recently, governments have responded aggressively, putting the onus on critical infrastructure asset owners and operators to boost their risk mitigation efforts.
Australia is updating its existing security of critical infrastructure legislation. For its part, the U.S., under the Biden Administration, has issued a National Security Memorandum on Improving Cybersecurity for Critical Infrastructure Control Systems.
The Memo details crisis management measures for priority sectors, such as essential service providers and transportation. Owners in these sectors are compelled to strengthen their organisation’s cybersecurity protocols.
These moves come on the heels of targeted cyber crisis response measures in the transportation sector, requiring critical pipeline owners and operators to report cybersecurity incidents, designate Cybersecurity Coordinators, and Conduct reviews of their own cybersecurity practices.
Technology to improve cyber crisis response
The Australian transportation sector is no stranger to measures like these. After all, a strict security incident reporting regime has been in place for some time there.
However, other sectors – whether in the critical infrastructure space or not – might need to get acquainted with tougher reporting protocols as part of their overall cyber crisis response and preparedness efforts.
To do so, they will have to overcome some stark challenges to effective cyber crisis response and management; specifically, the fact that providing intelligence, coordination, and response that is accurate, timely, and effective requires the coordination of numerous processes, systems, and operators.
What to do? Organisations heavily reliant on email for executing cyber crisis response can be aided by flexible, configurable, digital solutions that help plan and manage information, operations, and communications. How so?
Well, these solutions would capture and consume information from multiple sources, including reports, logs, communications, forms, assets, and maps, providing a real-time common operating picture of the task or operation at hand.
Leveraging powerful, yet easy-to-set-up workflows, these user-friendly solutions control and automate management processes and standard operating procedures, keeping the right stakeholders informed across multiple communications mediums.
Analytics and reporting tools would also ensure that decision-makers have the correct information in the best available format, when they need it. These solutions would also track tasks to ensure that the right actions are taken and followed through, helping crisis and security teams to assign, manage, and track resources.
More specifically, the systems would provide a case management framework that orchestrates information flows throughout the organisation, providing consistency where multiple systems, sources, and processes are employed, as well as enabling the secure exchange of information and coordination of resources across multiple stakeholders.
That’s not all. To get ahead of cyber actors, organisations need to ramp up cyber crisis response more broadly. To learn what other tools and capabilities might help, download our guide to improving cyber incident response and management.

The reason paying off a loan can affect your credit is because it decreases the diversity of your credit in the eyes of lenders. This is similar to what happens when you close old accounts: when the number of credit resources decreases, your credit imperfections – like missing a payment or two, or going over 30% on your credit utilization – become more visible.
FICO® Scores are developed by Fair Isaac Corporation. The FICO® Score provided by ConsumerInfo.com, Inc., also referred to as Experian Consumer Services ("ECS"), in Experian CreditWorksSM, Credit TrackerSM and/or your free Experian membership (as applicable) is based on FICO® Score 8, unless otherwise noted. Many but not all lenders use FICO® Score 8. In addition to the FICO® Score 8, ECS may offer and provide other base or industry-specific FICO® Scores (such as FICO® Auto Scores and FICO® Bankcard Scores). The other FICO® Scores made available are calculated from versions of the base and industry-specific FICO® Score models. There are many different credit scoring models that can give a different assessment of your credit rating and relative risk (risk of default) for the same credit report. Your lender or insurer may use a different FICO® Score than FICO® Score 8 or such other base or industry-specific FICO® Score, or another type of credit score altogether. Just remember that your credit rating is often the same even if the number is not. For some consumers, however, the credit rating of FICO® Score 8 (or other FICO® Score) could vary from the score used by your lender. The statements that "90% of top lenders use FICO® Scores" and "FICO® Scores are used in 90% of credit decisions" are based on a third-party study of all versions of FICO® Scores sold to lenders, including but not limited to scores based on FICO® Score 8. Base FICO® Scores (including the FICO® Score 8) range from 300 to 850. Industry-specific FICO® Scores range from 250-900. Higher scores represent a greater likelihood that you'll pay back your debts so you are viewed as being a lower credit risk to lenders. A lower FICO® Score indicates to lenders that you may be a higher credit risk. There are three different major credit reporting agencies — the Experian credit bureau, TransUnion® and Equifax® — that maintain a record of your credit history known as your credit report. Your FICO® Score is based on the information in your credit report at the time it is requested. Your credit report information can vary from agency to agency because some lenders report your credit history to only one or two of the agencies. So your FICO® Score can vary if the information they have on file for you is different. Since the information in your report can change over time, your FICO® Score may also change.
is 20%, which is good. However, closing one of the cards would put your credit utilization rate at 40%, which will negatively affect your score. Your credit score is one number that can cost or save you a lot of money in your lifetime. An excellent score can land you low interest rates, meaning you will pay less for any line of credit you take out. But it's up to you, the borrower, to make sure your credit remains strong so you can have access to more opportunities to borrow if you need to.
“Consumers participating in this process have greater control and transparency over the financial information that is being shared with a credit grantor,” Shellenberger clarified when asked about privacy and security concerns. “The consumer has direct access to this data and therefore knows exactly what is being shared.” Finicity, Experian and FICO have also set up extensive information security measures and protections to keep users’ data safe, he added.

2. Tell the creditor or other information provider in writing that you dispute an item. Many providers specify an address for disputes. If the provider reports the item to a credit reporting company, it must include a notice of your dispute. And if you are correct — that is, if the information is found to be inaccurate — the information provider may not report it again.
When checking this information, you’ll want to make sure all dates and balances are correct. Dates are especially important because they determine when these items will come off your credit reports. It’s also important to note that while paying a collection account may be the right thing to do and may help you avoid being sued for a debt, it may not boost your credit scores. If you currently have an account in collections, this guide can help you learn more about how to deal with a debt collector.
Too many “hard” checks of your credit can ding your score. For example, if you apply for several credit cards at once, several credit inquiries will appear on your report. Too many credit checks (as well as applying for/opening too many accounts) can give the impression that you’re a credit risk. Apply for new credit accounts sparingly, to limit the amount of credit checks you may incur.
How it works: A student credit card is the same as a regular credit card but typically has a lower credit limit. The lower limit is due to the smaller income students have compared with adults. Your teen can use their student card just like you’d use your card. However, student cards tend to have higher interest rates than non-student cards — making it all the more important for your teen to pay on time and in full each month.
Mobile Software Development Kits. We and our service providers may use mobile software development kits ("SDKs") to collect event properties within the mobile applications that are similar to environmental variables that are collected by most browsers, which may include general location data (derived from IP address), device manufacturer, and screen height and width. The SDKs track user movements and events occurring within our mobile applications as well as gather information on customers' interactions and satisfaction with our mobile applications. The SDKs help us improve our mobile applications for our customers.
Anyone who denies you credit, housing, insurance, or a job because of a credit report must give you the name, address, and telephone number of the credit reporting agency (CRA) that provided the report. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), you have the right to request a free report within 60 days if a company denies you credit based on the report.
Accordingly, the three major credit reporting agencies, Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion created the joint venture company Central Source LLC to oversee their compliance with FACTA.[3] Central Source then set up a toll free telephone number, a mailing address and a central website, AnnualCreditReport.com, to process consumer requests. Access to the free report was initially rolled out in stages, based on the consumer’s state of residence. By the end of 2005 all U.S. consumers could use these services to obtain a credit report.
Simply stated, you are an A+ borrower in the eyes of all lenders big and small, and will have no trouble securing a loan of your choosing. Be prepared to receive the very best interest rates, repayment terms, and lowest fees available. Insurance companies love people like you because they’re confident that you’ll pay your premiums on time and pose virtually no risk of insurance fraud. Plus, prospective employers love you because you have proven that personal and financial responsibility are of the utmost importance to you.
The reporting agencies don’t “judge” your credit. Your credit reports are simply a compilation of the facts that the agencies, or credit bureaus, collected about you. It’s up to individual lenders to decide what they deem as “good” or “bad,” which is why they often use credit scores as well. (Want to know what a good credit score is? This article will explain.)
In order to investigate this concern, the consumer group World Privacy Forum has made two studies regarding AnnualCreditReport.com. Their July 2005 study found that there were 233 domains with names very similar to AnnualCreditReport.com, of which 112 routed users to a variety of unintended destinations, including for-fee services, "link farms" and pornographic sites. The report concluded that the credit reporting agencies and the Federal Trade Commission needed to do more to rein in and shut down impostor sites. A follow-up study from RentPrep found that of the original 112 routed links, only six currently remain.[6] [7]
When you make a purchase through the Site, we may collect your credit card number or other payment account number, billing address and other information related to such purchase (collectively, "Payment Information") from you. However, purchases using our mobile applications may require the use of your mobile phone's default payment processing application.
The offers that appear on Credit.com’s website are from companies from which Credit.com receives compensation. This compensation may influence the selection, appearance, and order of appearance of the offers listed on the website. However, this compensation also facilitates the provision by Credit.com of certain services to you at no charge. The website does not include all financial services companies or all of their available product and service offerings.
In most cases, the easiest way to determine the health of your credit is to look at your credit score, a numerical value that reflects a mathematical analysis of your debt, your payment history, the existence of liens or other judgments, and other statistical data collected by the credit bureaus. In other words, your credit score is the compact, simplified version of your entire credit history, all rolled up into one tidy three-digit number.
That’s why it’s key to inform your teen of good credit practices, such as paying on time and in full each billing cycle. Autopay is a great feature that can help your teen avoid missed payments and interest charges.
Risks: While a secured card can be a great way for your teen to build credit, there are a few potential risks. If your teen misses a payment or pays late, they will incur a late payment fee. Plus, they will also be charged interest on any balances that remain after their statement due date. In Germany, credit scoring is widely accepted as the primary method of assessing creditworthiness. Credit scoring is used not only to determine whether credit should be approved to an applicant, but for credit scoring in the setting of credit limits on credit or store cards, in behavioral modelling such as collections scoring, and also in the pre-approval of additional credit to a company's existing client base.
You’ve decided to take the plunge and review your credit reports. (Good call. Credit impacts so many aspects of our lives. It’s important to know where you stand.) The first part — getting your free credit report — should be easy. Just hop over to AnnualCreditReport.com and request them online, by telephone or by mail. Once you have them, the fun begins. You get to read and try to understand all the information the three major credit bureaus have compiled about you. That may seem daunting at first. After all, most reports consist of pages and pages of information. But there are ways to keep your eyes from crossing.
A free Credit Sesame account utilizes information from TransUnion, one of the major national credit bureaus. Upgrade to a premium Credit Sesame plan for credit report info from all three bureaus: TransUnion, Experian and Equifax. With full access to your credit history from each bureau, you’ll have a complete, comprehensive look at your credit activity.
The Affinity Secured Visa® Credit Card requires cardholders to join the Affinity FCU. You may qualify through participating organizations, but if you don’t, anyone can join the New Jersey Coalition for Financial Education by making a $5 donation when you fill out your online application. This card has an 12.60% Variable APR, which is one of the lowest rates available for a no annual fee secured card and is nearly half the amount major issuers charge. This is a good rate if you may carry a balance — but try to pay each statement in full.
If you use the second method — and this if the first time you rehabilitated the student loan — the default associated with the loan will also be removed from your credit reports. Although the late payments associated with the loan will remain for up to seven years from the date of your first late payment, having the default removed could help your score.
If a person gets an injunction to pay issued by the Enforcement Authority, it is possible to dispute it. Then the party requesting the payment must show its correctness in district court. Failure to dispute is seen as admitting the debt. If the debtor loses the court trial, costs for the trial are added to the debt. Taxes and authority fees must always be paid on demand unless payment has already been made.
While the FTC has tried to increase transparency, some websites offering “free” credit scores have found a way around those rules. If a website asks for your credit card before providing a score, expect to find a fee on your bill before too long. Of course, since there are resources to see this data for free, that's probably where you should start your search.
The only way to rebuild your credit scores is to address why they are low in the first place. Sounds obvious but you’d be surprised how many people take a “shot in the dark” approach at rebuilding their credit scores. Or, they are guided by misinformation and/or unscrupulous individuals that promise a better credit score in exchange for a fee. Formulating a plan to rebuild your credit scores is not difficult. Here’s how to do it:
Be patient – After reviewing your reason codes you may realize that a plan to rebuild your scores may take longer than you’d like. A low score caused by delinquencies will take time to rebuild because delinquencies stay on your credit files for years. However, as these delinquencies age, their impact on your scores will lessen and your scores will increase as long as you now manage your credit well and pay accounts on time.
Having bad credit means it’s time to roll up your sleeves and get real about your current financial situation. Though your current position may be of no fault of your own – thanks to a job loss, illness, or other unforeseen circumstance – it’s your responsibility to take the necessary steps to reverse the course you are on. Take a good hard look at where you are in your life and take the necessary steps to reverse the trends that led to your bad score.
Think of your credit scores like a report card that you might review at the end of a school term, but instead of letter grades, your activity ends up within a scoring range. However, unlike academic grades, credit scores aren't stored as part of your credit history. Rather, your score is generated each time a lender requests it, according to the credit scoring model of their choice.
For one thing, the new account could decrease the average age of accounts on your credit reports — a higher average age is generally better for your score. Additionally, if you applied for a private student loan, the application could lead to the lender reviewing your credit history. A record of this, known as a “hard inquiry” or “hard credit check,” remains on your report and may hurt your score a little.
Instead: If you keep forgetting to make payments, set up as many reminders as necessary to ensure your bills get paid. If you can’t pay on time because you don’t have enough money, try scrutinizing your budget to see where you can cut back and asking for a grace period or reduced minimum payment. Your credit card company may understand if you demonstrate that you’re working to remedy the situation.
Tip: Be cautious of websites that claim to offer free credit reports. Some of these websites will only give you a free report if you buy other products or services. Other websites give you a free report and then bill you for services you have to cancel. To get the free credit report authorized by law, go to AnnualCreditReport.com or call (877) 322-8228.
When visitors sign up, they’re often enrolled, unwittingly, in a credit monitoring service that charges a monthly fee. In 2010, the Federal Trade Commission attempted to clamp down on this practice. It required “free” sites to provide a warning that, under federal law, the only authorized source for no-cost credit reports (though not free credit scores) is www.annualcreditreport.com.
Since you have one or all of the above goals in mind, we can match you with offers from our partners. Believe it or not, there are loans and credit cards for all types of credit scores—from no credit to stellar credit! The great thing is that these can also help you improve your credit, as long as you make your payments on time. Once you sign up, we can immediately find offers just for you!

As you may already know, the General Data Protection Regulation came into force on 25 May 2018, giving you more control over your personal data and to be kept informed about how your information is used.
A Privacy Notice is a statement by the Trust to patients, service users, visitors, carers, the public and staff, that describes how we collect, use, retain and disclose personal information which we hold.
It is sometimes also referred to as a Privacy Statement, Fair Processing Statement, or Privacy Policy. This privacy notice is part of our commitment to ensure that we process your personal information/data fairly and lawfully.
North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust recognises the importance of protecting personal and confidential information in all that we do and takes care to meet its legal and regulatory duties.
This Privacy Notice explains what information we collect about you, how we store this information, how long we retain it and with whom and for which legal purpose we may share it. This notice may be updated at any time. To find out more about our Privacy Notice, please select the relevant hyperlink below:
North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust (the Trust) employs 6,100 staff and was formed on 1 April 2017. The Trust runs three hospitals – Peterborough City Hospital, Hinchingbrooke Hospital and Stamford and Rutland Hospital, plus provides radiology and outpatient services at The Princess of Wales Hospital, Ely and Doddington Hospital near March. In addition, the Trust provides radiology services at North Cambs Hospital in Wisbech and at the City Care Centre in Peterborough. Our Trust serves approximately 700,000 residents living in Cambridgeshire, South Lincolnshire and the neighbouring counties. All three main hospital sites deliver inpatient and outpatient services.
The Trust is a "data controller". This means that we are responsible for deciding how we hold and use personal information about you.
The Trust is registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) to process personal and special categories of information under the Data Protection Act 2018 (subject to parliamentary approval) and our registration number is Z6661010.
For further information about the Trust, please refer to the About Us section of this website.
Whether or not you're subject to any protection orders regarding your health, wellbeing and human rights (safeguarding status).
It is important for us to have a complete picture of you as this will assist staff to deliver appropriate treatment and care plans in accordance with your needs.
We use the types of personal data listed above for a number of purposes, each of which is processed in accordance with a "lawful basis". In accordance with the data protection laws, we need a "lawful basis" for collecting and using information about you. There are a variety of different legal bases for using personal data which are set out in the data protection laws.
We have set out below the different purposes for which we collect and use your personal data, along with the lawful bases we rely on to do so.
Your records are used to directly, manage and deliver healthcare to you to ensure that:
The staff involved in your care have accurate and up to date information to assess and advise on the most appropriate care for you.
Staff have the information they need to be able to assess and improve the quality and type of care you receive.
Appropriate information is available if you see another healthcare professional, or are referred to a specialist or another part of the NHS, social care or health provider.
The lawful basis on which we rely in order to use the information which we collect about you for the purposes set out above is that using your information in this way is necessary in the exercise of official authority vested in the Trust. The source of this official authority includes the Health and Social Care Act 2016.
We may also rely on the lawful basis that using your information in this way is necessary for us to comply with legal and regulatory obligations to which we are subject.
In limited circumstances, we may also process your personal data based on you providing your consent.
Where possible, we will look to anonymise/ pseudonymise your personal information so as to protect patient confidentiality, unless there is a legal basis that permits us to use it and we will only use/ share the minimum information necessary.
A lot of the information which we collect will be special categories of personal data (also called sensitive personal data). This will mostly consist of information about your health but may also include information about, for example, your ethnic background or race.
Special categories of particularly sensitive personal information require higher levels of protection. We need to have further justification for collecting, storing and using this type of personal information.
We will use your particularly sensitive personal information in the provision of healthcare on the basis that it is necessary for reasons of medical diagnosis, the provision of health or social care or treatment or the management of health or social care systems.
We may need to share relevant personal information with other NHS organisations. For example, we may share your information for healthcare purposes with health authorities such as NHS England, Public Health England, other NHS trusts, general practitioners (GPs), ambulance services, primary care agencies, etc. We will also share information with other parts of the NHS and those contracted to provide services to the NHS in order to support your healthcare needs.
We may need to share information from your health records with other non-NHS organisations from which you are also receiving care, such as Social Services or private care homes. We will share your personal information with these third parties where required or permitted by law, where necessary for the provision of health and social care or with your explicit consent.
There are occasions where the Trust is required by law to share information provided to us with other bodies responsible for auditing or administering public funds, in order to prevent and detect fraud.
We may provide information to non-NHS partner organisations that act as ‘data processors’ and with whom we have binding confidentiality agreements to carry out an agreed service for the Trust.
There may also be situations where we are under a duty to share your information, due to a legal requirement. This includes, but is not limited to, disclosure under a court order, sharing with the Care Quality Commission for inspection purposes, the police for the prevention or detection of crime or where there is an overriding public interest to prevent abuse or serious harm to others and other public bodies (e.g. HMRC for the misuse of public funds in order to prevent and detect fraud).
For any request to transfer your data internationally outside the UK/EU, we will make sure that an adequate level of protection is satisfied before the transfer.
The Trust is required to protect your personal information, inform you of how your personal information will be used, and allow you to decide if and how your personal information can be shared. Personal information you provide to the Trust in confidence will be used for the purposes explained to you and where required will be based on your consent.
Your personal information is held in both paper and electronic forms for specified periods of time as set out in the NHS Records Management Code of Practice for Health and Social Care and National Archives Requirements.
We hold and process your information in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018 and any associated legislation.

provide information in a format that is accessible to you.
Use of email - Some services in the Trust provide the option to communicate with parents via email. Please be aware that the Trust cannot guarantee the security of this information whilst in transit, and by requesting this service you are accepting this risk. Further information can be found in our Information Governance policies, which are available here.
Request access to the personal data we hold about you, e.g. in health records. The way in which you can access your own health records is explained here
Request the correction of inaccurate or incomplete information recorded in our health records, subject to certain safeguards.
Refuse/withdraw consent to the processing of your health records: Under the Data Protection Act 2018, we are authorised to process your health records ‘for health or social care purposes'. Your consent will only be required if we intend to share your health records beyond these purposes, as explained above (e.g. research). Consent forms you are asked to sign will give you the option to ‘refuse’ consent and will explain how you can ‘withdraw’ any given consent at a later time. The consent form will also warn you about the possible consequences of such refusal/withdrawal. Once we have received notification that you have withdrawn your consent, we will make every reasonable effort to no longer process your information for the purpose or purposes you originally agreed to, unless we have another legitimate basis for doing so in law.
Request your personal information to be transferred to other providers on certain occasions.
Request erasure of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal information where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal information where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below).
Object to the use of your personal information: In certain circumstances you may also have the right to ‘object’ to the processing of your information where the processing would be for a purpose beyond your care and treatment (e.g. as part of a local/regional data sharing initiative). You may be able to 'opt out' of the processing of your personal information for purposes other than your care and treatment. Further information can be found on the following website: https://digital.nhs.uk/national-data-opt-out
Request the restriction of processing of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal information about you, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.
The national data opt-out is a service that allows patients to opt out of their confidential patient information being used for research and planning.
The national data opt-out was introduced on 25 May 2018, enabling patients to opt out from the use of their data for research or planning purposes, in line with the recommendations of the National Data Guardian in her Review of Data Security, Consent and Opt-Outs.
You can view or change your national data opt-out choice any time, by visiting: www.nhs.uk/your-nhs-data-matters.
This notice describes how we may use your information to protect you and others during the Covid-19 outbreak. It supplements our main Privacy Notice which is available above.
The health and social care system is facing significant pressures due to the Covid-19 outbreak. Health and care information is essential to deliver care to individuals, to support health and social care services and to protect public health. Information will also be vital in researching, monitoring, tracking and managing the outbreak. In the current emergency it has become even more important to share health and care information across relevant organisations.
Existing law which allows confidential patient information to be used and shared appropriately and lawfully in a public health emergency is being used during this outbreak. Using this law the Secretary of State has required NHS Digital; NHS England and Improvement; Arms Length Bodies (such as Public Health England); local authorities; health organisations and GPs to share confidential patient information to respond to the Covid-19 outbreak. Any information used or shared during the Covid-19 outbreak will be limited to the period of the outbreak unless there is another legal basis to use the data. Further information is available on gov.uk here and some FAQs on this law are available here.
During this period of emergency, opt-outs will not generally apply to the data used to support the Covid-19 outbreak, due to the public interest in sharing information. This includesNational Data Opt-outs. However in relation to the Summary Care Record, existing choices will be respected. Where data is used and shared under these laws your right to have personal data erased will also not apply. It may also take us longer to respond to Subject Access requests, Freedom of Information requests and new opt-out requests whilst we focus our efforts on responding to the outbreak.
In order to look after your health and care needs we may share your confidential patient information including health and care records with clinical and non clinical staff in other health and care providers, for example neighbouring GP practices, hospitals and NHS 111. We may also use the details we have to send public health messages to you, either by phone, text or email.
During this period of emergency we may offer you a consultation via telephone or video-conferencing. By accepting the invitation and entering the consultation you are consenting to this. Your personal/confidential patient information will be safeguarded in the same way it would with any other consultation.
We will also be required to share personal/confidential patient information with health and care organisations and other bodies engaged in disease surveillance for the purposes of protecting public health, providing healthcare services to the public and monitoring and managing the outbreak. Further information about how health and care data is being used and shared by other NHS and social care organisations in a variety of ways to support the Covid-19 response is here.
NHS England and Improvement and NHSX have developed a single, secure store to gather data from across the health and care system to inform the Covid-19 response. This includes data already collected by NHS England, NHS Improvement, Public Health England and NHS Digital. New data will include 999 call data, data about hospital occupancy and A&E capacity data as well as data provided by patients themselves. All the data held in the platform is subject to strict controls that meet the requirements of data protection legislation.
In such circumstances where you tell us you’re experiencing Covid-19 symptoms we may need to collect specific health data about you. Where we need to do so, we will not collect more information than we require and we will ensure that any information collected is treated with the appropriate safeguards.
We may amend this privacy notice at any time so please review it frequently. The date at the top of this page will be amended each time this notice is updated.

A recent study found that over 60% of businesses have experienced some form of cyber attack, with the most common ones being malware, phishing, and denial of service attacks. This is a worrying trend, as it shows that many businesses are not prepared to deal with the security threats posed by cyber criminals.
If you think your business might be at risk, it’s essential to seek professional help to assess the situation and put in place the necessary safeguards. Ignoring the problem won’t make it go away, and the longer you leave it, the more damage a cyber-attack can do.
Phishing Attacks
Phishing attacks are one of the most common cyber security threats faced by businesses today. Phishing is a type of cyber attack that uses fraudulent emails or websites to trick users into disclosing sensitive information, such as passwords or credit card numbers.
These attacks can be difficult to detect, as they often impersonate legitimate websites or brands. Businesses should educate their employees on how to identify and avoid phishing attacks.
They should also have a strong cyber security system in place to protect their data.
Ransomware
Ransomware is one of the most common cyber security threat faced by businesses today. This type of malware encrypts a victim’s files and demands a ransom to decrypt them.
The amount of the ransom demand varies, but it is in the range of a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. Many businesses are unprepared to deal with a ransomware attack and end up paying the ransom to get their files back.
Yet, there is no guarantee that paying the ransom will actually decrypt the files. In some cases, the attackers will take the money and not provide the decryption key.
For this reason, it is important for businesses to have a backup of their data in case of a ransomware attack.
Weak Passwords Cause Security Threats
One of the most common computer security threats faced by businesses today is weak passwords. Attackers can guess or brute force their way into accounts if employees are using weak passwords.
Organizations should enforce strong password policies and need employees to use unique passwords. Two-factor authentication can also help protect accounts to compromised by weak passwords.
Check out this service instead it might help you better to protect your data and assist you in building a smart, strategic approach to securing your business.
Putting It All Together
Small businesses are especially vulnerable to cyber security threats. The most common cyber security threats faced by businesses today are ransomware, phishing, and malware.
These threats can result in the loss of data, money, and customers. To protect yourself and your business, it is important to be aware of these threats and take steps to prevent them.
Visit our blog for more information about most common cyber security threats. Hopefully, these tips will be useful.

Battling Cyber Threats and Risks with Free Cybersecurity Training. New and emerging challenges riddle the cyber landscape. In one year alone, we encountered over 77,000 cyber-incidents1. Each cyber-incident costs an average of $200,000 to a U.S. company2. It is, therefore, critical for all organizations to keep their workforce up-to-date on their cybersecurity knowledge and skills, enabling them to defend and mitigate cyber risks and threats. Cybersecurity workforce development and training are key!
The Cybersecurity Education and Awareness (CE&A) Branch at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is committed to strengthening the security and resilience of cyberspace by providing free training resources such as FedVTE to arm employees and employers with the right tools to protect themselves from cyber-attacks.
Hire our Heroes and the Department of Homeland Security have teamed up to bring you FREE cybersecurity training and certification prep courses

The U.S. Senate has voted against moving forward on a cybersecurity bill that supporters have called critical for national security.
The Senate late Wednesday voted 51-47 to end debate and move toward a final vote on the Cybersecurity Act but 60 votes were needed to move the bill forward. The Senate also failed to move forward on the bill during an August vote.
Some Republicans have raised questions about the bill, which would allow the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to set cybersecurity standards, developed with the help of private companies, for operators of critical infrastructure. Critics have said the bill gives DHS too much power.
Other senators have raised privacy concerns about the bill, saying it would allow Internet service providers and other Web businesses to spy on customers to share information with the government without the need for a warrant.
Tech trade group BSA called on lawmakers to give a high priority to cybersecurity legislation in 2013.
“It is disappointing that senators haven’t yet been able to reach an agreement on cybersecurity legislation — but stalemate doesn’t make the issue go away,” BSA President and CEO Robert Holleyman said in a statement. “There is no getting around the fact that we need to bolster America’s cybersecurity capabilities. We urge both parties to put this issue at the top of the agenda in the next Congress.”
The bill would create a new intra-agency council to work with private companies to develop cybersecurity standards that businesses could voluntarily adopt. The bill would offer incentives to companies that volunteer for cybersecurity programs, including protection from lawsuits related to cyberincidents and increased help and information on cybersecurity issues from U.S. agencies.
Seven ‘no log’ VPN providers leak 1.2TB of user logs
BY SHAUN NICHOLS THE REGISTER A string of "zero logging" VPN providers have some explaining to do after more than a terabyte of user logs were found on their servers unprotected and facing the public internet. This data, we are told, included in at least some cases clear-text passwords, personal information, and lists of websites visited, all for anyone to stumble upon. It all came to light this week after Comparitech's Bob Diachenko spotted 894GB of records in an unsecured Elasticsearch cluster that belonged to UFO VPN. The silo contained streams of log entries as netizens connected to UFO's service: this information included what appeared to be account passwords in plain text, VPN session secrets and tokens, IP addresses of users' devices and the VPN servers they connected to, connection timestamps, location information, device characteristics and OS versions, and web domains from which ads were injected into the browsers of UFO's free-tier users. UFO stated in bold in its privacy policy: "We do not track user activities outside of our site, nor do we track the website browsing or connection activities of users who are using our Services."

In August, news broke that Western Australian government officials were using generic logins like “abcd1234” and “password123” (the latter used by nearly 1,500 employees), leaving systems across a number of government agencies vulnerable to hacking. Full access to every government system could be accessed via the password “Sumer123”.
Anyone who’s read Seattle-based security specialist WatchGuard’s just published Q2 2018 Internet Security report won’t be surprised. In their investigation of passwords used for 355,000+ government and military accounts, WatchGaurd found that nearly half of all passwords associated with .GOV and .MIL email addresses are weak, 50 percent cracked within two days. “In fact, it only took us a few hours to find most of the cracked passwords,” say the report’s writers. Most commonly used passwords include “123456,” “password,” “linkedin,” “sunshine,” and “12345678”.
And those are just the passwords used by government and military employees. Civilians passwords were found weak 52 percent of the time. These passwords match up with those discovered in hacked LinkedIn data from 2012.
Just this month, a massive database of close to 42 million email addresses and passwords in clear text was uploaded to a free, public, anonymous hosting service. Once the service discovered the breach, they shared the data with a security expert who determined the data matched up with that found in typical credential stuffing attacks: long lists of username/password pairs.
But this is just the latest in a string of credential stuffing incidents. British cosmetics retailer Superdrug reported in August that hackers accessed the email addresses and passwords of nearly 20,000 online shoppers. It was also widely reported in August that Air Canada had to reset the passwords for close to 20,000 profiles after it discovered hackers had managed to access email address and login information.
We know, we know. You've heard it all before. But, hopefully, these recent reports have convinced you that now is the time to improve your password strategy. Keep in mind a few general rules of thumb agreed on by the majority of security experts:
The strongest passwords are 16 characters or more and include lower and upper-case letters as well as special characters and numbers.
Nothing in the password should include anything related to you, such as pet names or your birthday, and it's a good idea to try to use phrases instead of words.
Use different passwords for different accounts.
And, whatever you do, don't write your password down on a Post-it Note and stick it on your computer. Why make it easier than it already is to put your data security at risk?

The public should get to see whether a court that authorized the FBI to track someone’s air travels in real time for six months also analyzed whether the surveillance implicated the Fourth Amendment, EFF argued in a brief filed this week.
In Forbes Media LLC v. United States, the news organization and its reporter are trying to make public a court order and related records concerning an FBI request to use the All Writs Act to compel a travel data broker to disclose people’s movements.
Forbes reported on the FBI’s use of the All Writs Act to force the company, Sabre, to disclose a suspect’s travel data in real time after one of the agency’s requests was unsealed. The All Writs Act is not a surveillance statute, though authorities frequently seek to use it in their investigations. Perhaps most famously, the FBI in 2016 sought an order under the statute to require Apple to decrypt an iPhone by writing custom software for the phone.
But when Forbes sought to unseal court records related to the FBI’s request to obtain data from Sabre, two separate judges ruled that the materials must remain secret.
Forbes appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, arguing that the public has a presumptive right to access the court records under both the First Amendment and common law. EFF, along with the ACLU, ACLU of Northern California, and Riana Pfefferkorn, filed a friend-of-the-court brief in support of Forbes’ effort to unseal the records.
EFF’s brief argues the public has the right to see the court decisions and any related legal arguments made by the federal government in support of its requests because court decisions have historically been public under our transparent, democratic traditions.
But the public has a particular interest in these orders sought against Sabre for several reasons.
First, the disclosure of six months worth of travel data implicates the Fourth Amendment’s privacy protections, just as the U.S. Supreme Court recently recognized in Carpenter v. United States. “Just like in that case, air travel data creates ‘a detailed chronicle of a person’s physical presence’ that goes well beyond knowing a person’s location at a particular time,” the brief argues. The public has a legitimate interest in seeing the court’s ruling to learn whether it grappled with the Fourth Amendment questions raised by the FBI’s request.
Second, because federal law enforcement often requests secrecy regarding its requests under the All Writs Act, the public has very little understanding of the legal limits on when it can use the statute to require third parties to disclose private data about people’s movements. This ongoing secrecy violates the public’s right of access to judicial records and, critically, it also frustrates public and congressional oversight of law enforcement surveillance, including whether the Executive Branch is evading legislative limits on its surveillance authority.
Third, the broad law enforcement effort to seal its requests under the All Writs Act and surveillance statutes frustrates the public’s ability to know what authorities are doing and whether they are violating people’s privacy rights. From the brief:
This results in the public lacking even basic details about how frequently law enforcement requests orders under the AWA or other statutes such as the SCA [Stored Communications Act] and PRA [Pen Register Act]. This is problematic because, without public access to dockets and orders reflecting authorities’ surveillance activities, there are almost no opportunities for public oversight or intervention by Congress.
Fourth, because Sabre collects data about the public’s travels without most people’s knowledge or consent, public disclosure is crucial so that people can understand whether the company is protecting their privacy. The brief argues:
Disclosure of the judicial records at issue here is thus crucial because the public has no way to avoid Sabre’s collection of their location data and has almost no information about when and how Sabre discloses their data. Court records reflecting law enforcement demands for people’s data are thus likely to be the only records of when and how Sabre responds to law enforcement requests.

Implement methods for monitoring the prevalence and impact of bullying.
The Queensland Government has accepted, at least in principle, all 29 recommendations.
What are the likely impacts of the recommendations by the Queensland Anti-Cyberbullying Taskforce ?
Following this report, schools, universities, vocational education and training providers, clubs and associations which should implement suitable bullying and cyberbullying prevention policies and training.
If such policies are already in place, we recommend that they be reviewed against the recommendations to determine whether any improvements can be made.
Regular training and communication around those policies and expectations should be rolled out by schools, universities, clubs, associations and training facilities. Records of such training should be retained to demonstrate the steps you have taken to respond to the risk of cyberbullying. Such records may also help you to assess how well your policies and processes are working.
If you provide students with an email address or IT access, your organisation should consider what steps can be taken to make those platforms as safe as practicable.
Finally institutions should have in place mechanisms for reporting and investigating alleged bullying and cyber-bullying.

It’s been a bad week for Facebook users.
First, the social media company was caught asking some of its new users to share passwords for their registered email accounts and now the bad week gets worse with a new privacy breach. Read More
500px suffered a data breach exposing user data of 15 million customers.
The breach happened on July 5, 2018, and was discovered by the company only on February 8, 2019.
The breach exposed user’s data such as names, email address, hashed password and address.
The company has requested all users to change their password.
Real-time GPS coordinates for over 11,000 buses in India have been left exposed on the internet for over three weeks.
The data leaked via an ElasticSearch server that was left connected online without a password, according to security researcher Justin Paine, who shared his findings with ZDNet.
The server contained data aggregated from 27 Indian state-owned transportation agencies and included exact, real-time GPS coordinates and route information from buses across all India, active on both inter and intra-city routes.

The volume of cyber attacks on UK businesses increased after the country went into lockdown and reached unprecedented levels in the second quarter of 2020, according to analysis from Beaming, a specialist business ISP.
UK businesses experienced almost 177,000 separate attempts to breach their systems each, on average, between April and June 2020, the equivalent of one every 45 seconds. This was a 13% increase on the first quarter of the year and the highest level of cyber attack activity seen since Beaming began tracking attempts in 2016.
Beaming’s analysts identified 341,000 unique IP addresses used to attack UK businesses in the second quarter of 2020. Thirty-seven thousand of these were traced to locations in China. The ISP identified increasing numbers of attacking IP addresses located in Taiwan (up 32% to 32,000 in the quarter) and the USA (up 13% to 17,000).
The volume of attacks targeting file-sharing applications increased by more than a quarter (27%) in the second quarter to reach 5,900 per company. IoT applications such as building control systems and networked security cameras remained the most common targets for cybercriminals, attracting more than 14,000 online attacks per company.
Sonia Blizzard, Managing Director of Beaming, commented: “The cybercriminals came out in force as the UK went into lockdown and launched a barrage of attacks on businesses. We’ve all relied more on the internet to work, shop and communicate in the past few months, and our analysis shows that due to this change in circumstances this environment hasn’t just become busier – it’s required us to better protect ourselves too.
“Businesses of all sizes need to take action today to improve their resilience to cyber-attacks and keep their employees and data as secure as possible. Leaders must think beyond the basic protection most have today and boost business resilience with more sophisticated defences that incorporate technology, training and robust security policies.”

Data privacy and data security class actions are on the rise. Some have called privacy claims the “next frontier in consumer class actions.” Legal issues are still being hammered out as to who can successfully file claims and what kind of injury they have to assert to make it past class action legal hurdles. But enough data-related class actions are being filed nationwide (roughly 145 were filed in the fourth quarter of 2013 alone) that the attorneys bringing these lawsuits are refining their legal strategy and building stronger cases against businesses large and small.
If your business collects, stores or disseminates customers’ personal information, you need to be aware of your legal obligations over the security and use of that information. Otherwise, you could risk being subject of a consumer class action (or federal or state enforcement action).
South Carolina is among the majority of states that require businesses to notify affected individuals of any security breach involving their data. You should you have a corrective action plan in place for when you contact customers. Target immediately offered credit-monitoring services to customers who were affected by its notorious data breach. We will see if Target’s response assists with the defense of any class actions hoisted against it, as Target’s corrective actions likely will limit any customer’s ability to allege injury.
If you are a responsible steward of your customers’ data and if you ensure that you are using this data in a way that comports with federal and state law, you greatly reduce the risk of finding yourself caught in the ugly and costly legal battle of consumer class actions. You are also investing in important legal defenses should your company be the victim of a data security breach.

As global data protection and privacy regulations continue to evolve, it’s important to understand how Service Data is processed and stored by the vendors you work with, to ensure that your Service Data is safe, and that your systems help you to meet global compliance regulations.
The Schrems II decision around EU-US data transfers in 2020 put security considerations into the limelight, but the truth is that building and protecting customer trust has always been paramount at Zendesk. Our roadmap reflects this commitment to providing the tools that our customers need in light of rapidly changing data protection and privacy regulations. As part of this commitment, we’d like to provide you with a sneak peek into the Advanced Encryption feature, also known as Customer Managed Key encryption.
What is Advanced Encryption?
Advanced Encryption empowers enterprises with management and control over encryption keys, ensuring that Service Data stored in Zendesk Services can’t be read in plain text by an external party and is only decrypted ephemerally and just in time to enable our services.
This feature also helps our customers comply with data protection and privacy obligations and strengthens your security posture.
Advanced Encryption will initially focus on addressing the concerns of EU customers in light of Schrems II and will assist global customers (especially in financial and healthcare verticals) who want to avail themselves of greater control and management of access to their Service Data.

KnowB4, from Johannesburg, South Africa, has surveyed eight African countries on cybersecurity and has released its findings.
In a press release dated February 19, 2020, from Johannesburg, South Africa, says that “53% of Africans surveyed think that trusting emails from people they know is good enough; 28% have fallen for a phishing email and 50% have had a malware infection; 64% don’t know what ransomware is and yet believe they can easily identify a security threat; 52% don’t know what multi-factor authentication is”.
According to the statement: “The 2019 KnowBe4 (http://www.KnowBe4.com) African Report across South Africa, Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana, Egypt, Morocco, Mauritius and Botswana has found that people living on the continent are not prepared for the cyber threat. 65% of respondents across all eight countries are concerned about cybercrime.
“They are vulnerable, as they’re not aware of what they don’t know. From ransomware to phishing to malware and credential theft, users are not protecting themselves adequately because they mistakenly think they’re informed, ready and prepared. Around 55% believe that they would recognise a security incident if they saw one”.
Based on the findings, two African countries were the most concerned of the threat. “Of all the countries surveyed, Kenyans (75%) and South Africans (74%) were the most concerned about the risk of cybercrime and yet respondents were comfortable giving away their personal information as long as they understood what it was being used for (Kenyans 26.59% and South Africans 57%). It’s a worrying trend – many phishing scams will use any means necessary to tease out valuable nuggets of personal information and phone calls or emails from so-called ‘trusted sources’ are among the most common methods used”.
The survey also highlighted the level of ignorance of cybercrime by Africans and the available ways to check it.
It says: “The problem is that most users are not aware of how cyber criminals operate and the tools that they use. More than half of respondents across all eight countries felt very confident that they would recognize a security incident or issue if they saw one, but a significant percentage have had a PC infection, and more than a quarter had fallen for a scam. In South Africa, 50% of respondents had their PCs infected, while in Kenya, Ghana and Egypt, this number rose to 67%.
“The KnowBe4 survey found that even though nearly half of respondents across all eight countries felt that their organizations had trained them adequately, a quarter of them didn’t know what a ransomware was. For South Africans, a worrying 31.5% thought that a cyber threat that encrypts files and demands payments was a Trojan virus and 26.9% of Kenyans agreed. Egypt and Morocco thought it was a drive-by download, while Ghana thought it was a botnet.
“More than 50% of respondents are not aware of what multi-factor authentication is or the benefit thereof. Using stolen credentials was the third most common attack vector used in successful breaches and applying multi-factor authentication, which is combining your password with something that you own, such as a One-Time-Password app on your phone, which reduces this risk significantly”.
The findinds also identified Phishing as “still number one attack vector of successful data breaches”.
“Email security is one of the biggest threats facing the average user, both at work and at home, and it is one of the most common communication methods — more than 70% of those surveyed use email to collaborate with friends and colleagues. Most people don’t realise what a risky email looks like or how their actions can result in their systems becoming infected. While more than half of respondents in Botswana, Egypt, Kenya, Ghana, Morocco and Mauritius have enough security smarts to avoid clicking on links or opening attachments they don’t expect, a startling 46% still trusted emails from people they knew. In South Africa, those statistics are completely turned around – more than half of respondents (52%) trust emails from people they know, while only 49.5% don’t open attachments they have not expected.
“Email remains one of the most successful forms of cyber-attack today for this very reason. People are quick to click on links or attachments sent to them from people who they know, not realising that cyber criminals have potentially hacked or spoofed (impersonated) their friend’s, colleague’s or suppliers’ systems to spread malware, or launch other forms of attacks. Cyber criminals can easily mimic contact lists or use email addresses that look as if they’ve come from trusted institutions, and a simple click can unleash a ransomware attack that can hold an entire company, government or home hostage. According to Verizon’s 2019 Data Breach Report, email phishing is till the number one attack vector used in successful breaches. Closely followed by malware infections and the use of stolen credentials – both of which are attack vectors commonly accomplished via phishing. Phishing and social engineering attacks are not just limited to email – they have spread to other communication channels such as WhatsApp and the phone. With WhatsApp use at more than 90% in Africa, this is a serious concern”, it stated.
The survey also revealed certain “Phishing Myths”.
“Another myth around phishing scams is that they are badly written with terrible language and rude offers. While these still exist, they are no longer the norm. Cyber criminals have become incredibly sophisticated and prey on this lack of understanding. Across all eight countries, more than a quarter of respondents checked for bad grammar and spelling to determine whether or not an email was legitimate. Interestingly, more than a quarter had also clicked on a phishing email. It turns out that yes; Africa has been phished and will continue to fall prey to this insidious attack unless they recognize the need for training and a deeper understanding of security threats.
“When looked at against the backdrop of how often they’ve been caught by a phishing email, it’s clear that users still don’t realise how easily they can fall prey to a well-designed email.
“The biggest concern is that this lack of awareness around cybersecurity impacts a person’s life, identity and work. Humans are one of the most common causes of a business being held by ransomware or crippled by malware, data breaches or plain financial fraud. Their inadvertent clicking on an attachment, sharing personal information or carrying an infection into work on their mobile device can cause these types of issues”.
According to the statement, “the survey found that more than 90% of respondents used a smartphone and more than 70% used a laptop computer to connect to the internet, using either data from their mobile network (more than 80%) or through their home network. However, more than a quarter of respondents connected their devices to the internet using a free Wi-Fi connection in a public space. This is risky, as cyber criminals make use of public places to trick people into connecting to their malicious hotspot in order to connect to the person’s machine or to steal their information”.
Meanwhile, the survey highlighted urgent need for Security Awareness Training. “For organizations, it has become critical that they train employees around security best practices and the various methodologies used by the cybercriminal. People need to stop thinking that phishing and ransomware only happen to other people or big businesses – everyone is vulnerable. One of the reasons why spam continues to rise in quantity is because it works often enough to be of value. According to the September 2019 Cisco Talos Email and Web Reputation Centre (http://bit.ly/3bOFo83) report, the average spam volume for the year was 409.51 billion. That’s compared with the paltry 68.90 billion emails that are legitimate. Spam works because somebody always clicks on the link.
“Training in cybersecurity threats, methodologies, entry points and vulnerabilities has become critical for the organisation. This not only helps to minimise the growing risk of human error that’s allowing threats to bypass their complex and powerful security systems, but helps to protect their employees.
“The survey has highlighted the areas that are most vulnerable and where people need the most help in learning about cyber threats. Employee training is definitely one of the most important points – employees are not aware of how their use of free Wi-Fi networks can potentially infect the organisation, nor are they as aware of email and phishing threats as they believe. It’s also important to bust some of the most common security myths. Not all malicious emails are badly written, phishing is sophisticated and clever, and mobile devices can be infected. The most common platforms used by respondents to connect with friends and colleagues were WhatsApp (more than 90%) and email (more than 70%), and both of these platforms have been compromised. Educating users on how to strengthen their password practices by applying multi-factor authentication is another easy step to significantly reduce risks.
“Education is key to ensuring that employees are aware of the risks, understand the threats and make more concerted efforts to protect themselves from infection”, it concluded.

Ransomware threats and attacks are targeting an increasing number of companies. The likelihood of being infected by ransomware has increased as criminals have become more advanced and successful in their attempts.
Being infected with ransomware is not always easily recognizable. An employee could log in one day only to realize their computer is locked out, their files and data are encrypted, and are no longer accessible. This leaves your business at the mercy of the attacker, who promises to give you the decryption key in exchange for a hefty sum of money, a ransom.
However, your organization should not trust these criminal's claims nor pay the ransom. Paying the fine could result in legal fines and penalties and this also increases the attacker's resources. Our team can work with your company to decrypt infected files and prevent the ransomware from spreading further.
We provide ransomware removal and ransomware prevention services to businesses in the Glendale Heights, IL area- don't hesitate to get the ransomware support you need. Ransomware attacks of this nature can pose great risk to your business data & company files and must be removed immediately.
Many times we have worked with companies who attempted to resolve a ransomware attack in house, only to have the malicious program spread and infect their files again a few weeks later. The downtime and halt in operations caused by a ransomware attack is a costly interruption to business operations and client relationships. Do not neglect potential ransomware files you have identified in your network, this issue needs to be promptly resolved.
If your business needs assistance with a ransomware attack contact our team today.

Many Canadians spend a lifetime working to accumulate assets without making any effort to protect their investments or income stream. Yet a failure to plan can unnecessarily compound the stress of a death or disability, increasing the financial and emotional burden for families and in some cases leading to dire consequences. This is especially unfortunate, given that estate planning need not be complicated or expensive.
Our team has developed the Risk Management Review to help identify all the potential financial risks you could encounter during your lifetime. These are risks that could have an impact on your security and that of your family – risks that could shatter dreams.
We will then recommend strategies to address each risk in the most cost-effective manner. Through IPC Estate Services, we can offer solutions such as life, disability and critical insurance and provide other strategies to manage risk and plan your estate.
We can help you enjoy the peace of mind that comes with taking action to protect your loved ones.
For most Canadians in this stage of life, the line is never as straight as it looks. Business opportunities, aging parents, divorces, blended families, market meltdowns, health challenges, golden handshakes – just to name a few – may enter the mix and leave one at a loss of just what exactly to do next.
There are always solutions that make sense, no matter what life may have in store for you. Whether you’re worried about your health or the health of a loved one, family continuity, retirement possibilities or planning for sabbaticals, sorting out the tax and estate implications is part and parcel of a winning financial plan. Helping you to answer that question is what we do best.
A winning financial game plan is not glamourous, it’s just common sense. For more information or to set up an appointment to discuss your dreams, please feel free to contact our office. Let’s get the conversation started!

A Taiwanese research institute on Friday revealed a folding display on a smartphone that allowed its screen to double in size to 5-inches.
The mock-up smartphone, developed to showcase the screen, is styled like other smartphones and opens like a book turned on its side so when open the display is on the top half and the bottom half is the keyboard.
What users are actually seeing is only the top half of the display. The rest of the 5-inch screen is hidden underneath the keyboard and can be pulled up to reveal the full screen when required. To allow the screen to close down over the keyboard a 1-centimeter portion along the center is flexible.
Researchers at Taiwan’s publicly funded Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) developed the TFT-EPD (Thin Film Transistor Electrophoretic Display) screen with smartphones in mind.
Currently 5-inches is the only screen size available, but work is being done on other screen sizes, said Nick Vasiljevic, managing director of Pilotfish, the company ITRI hired to design the smartphone model.
But for designers, the flexible 5-inch screen does offer other possibilities, he added. The hinge and flexible part of the screen can be in different places, so the screen could bend at the 3-inch mark instead of 2.5-inch mark.
Pictures of the smartphone appear to show a break at the center of the screen, so it looks almost like two separate screens, but that’s not the case.
What looks like a break is actually a software taskbar similar to the one at the bottom of a PC screen. But the taskbar on the smartphone screen can be moved so the whole screen can be used for pictures, video or anything else.
The flexible screen technology offers new possibilities for mobile phone makers, an important consideration at a time when companies are scrambling to develop Mobile Internet Devices, netbooks, smartphones and other portable gadgets. Many companies say that finding the right screen size is key to such portable devices because people want to be able to surf the Internet or watch movies on as large a screen as possible.
ITRI worked with Pilotfish on the smartphone design to show off the concept because it’s seeking handset makers interested in creating products around the technology. The technology will be ready next year.
ITRI is also working to add touchscreen technology to the flexible screens, which will also likely be ready later next year.

Spyware blockers can be defined as antispyware programs designed not only to detect and remove any spyware and malware found on your computer, but also block their access to your PC. As we know there are antivirus applications programmed to scan and remove any viruses found in your system. As the digital world progresses, viruses have become more and more complex and diverse in their nature. There are parasites and addware applications which might seem harmless, but could still corrupt your system.
If you frequently download free software programs, they might be carrying something more than you have expected. For example, additional ads that keep popping on your screen every 5 minutes. They might not be harmful or damaging your system files, but they do not bring any benefit too, except for playing on your nerves and using your hard disk and RAM resources.
On the other hand, spyware programs which are created by hackers, are already a big threat to an ordinary PC user. They could be implemented in a webpage source code and once you open it, the program could already be executed and installed on your system without even knowing it. They could also be distributed in emails as attachments or implemented in some ordinary looking programs, for instance smiley software. Once a spyware enters your system, it masquerades as a system file and may hide deep within your system root. An antivirus program could bypass the spyware on a daily scan schedule and once that happens – you are in serious trouble.
First, it will start collecting your sensitive data and distributing it to a hacker via internet. It could also use your PC as a server and distribute itself to further email addresses or attack other computers. And finally – it could seriously damage your system files, making them irreparable.
Spyware doctor - No 1 in spyware blockers
Like I told, one Antivirus program may not be enough and I recommend installing some powerful free or charged anti spyware software program – one which identifies, removes or even blocks any malicious programs attempting to hijack your computer. I would recommend searching for spyware blockers and removers, possibly two in one option and my advice is getting the best product in spyware blockers and detectors market – Spyware Doctor.
The Spyware Doctor totally blew my mind away. Once installed, it will scan your PC in a matter of minutes and the scan is done in such a way, that you still can do online gaming and other activities – meaning it uses the least of your memory. Besides, the scan pop up window does not appear, if you are watching a movie or gaming – the process runs in the background without interrupting your current activities. However, check your system parameters, in case you want to overload your PC with constant gaming or large files editing – you could need additional memory resources.
What is really interesting – the spyware blocker program has a search engine which is able to search for and identify morphed or mutated viruses and spyware. With its state – of – the art sliding signatures technology the Spyware Doctor identifies common patterns of morphed viruses and removes them.
Another interesting feature is root kit removal. More advanced viruses – root kits are able to enter and infect your system registry, blocking afterwards antivirus programs, so they won’t even be able to start. Luckily, Spyware Doctor removes root kits, making them incapable and disabled.
User friendly setup and usage of these spyware blockers makes them even more popular among internet users. There are a few menu boxes in the front panel and no more submenus or other complicated features. Just click on the scan and everything else will be done for you.
Browser protection is another important issue that the program effectively deals with. Real time online threat scanning protects you and your browser from any malware. It works not only with Internet Explorer, but also with Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Opera as well. If any spyware is detected, once removed, it will never enter your system again – the antispyware program has the ability to remember the threat and block it.
However, the software is not free. You can try the program for real time protection and scanning, which is free, but the removal and other functions are disabled. The totally functioning software costs 30$ which is cheap, comparing to the prevented damage. Free spyware blockers and removers can be found on the internet, by googling the antispyware keyword – though I don’t guarantee they all will be doing their duty.

Choosing the right access control RFID system to secure your property entry points is an important decision that should not be taken lightly. With the right information and a detailed evaluation, you can make sure that your security system is tailored to the specific needs of your property and will provide reliable protection for your assets.
In this article, we will explore the different aspects of access control RFID systems, from the types of readers and tags to the different levels of security and how to ensure that your system is optimized for maximum efficiency and effectiveness. By the end of this article, you will have a comprehensive understanding of the various access control RFID systems available and be well-equipped to make an informed decision.
When it comes to securing property entry points, implementing an RFID access control system can offer numerous benefits. Firstly, the use of unique RFID tags and encrypted data enhances security, making it difficult for unauthorized access to occur. Second, access control management is streamlined, allowing for real-time monitoring, restricting access, and revoking access privileges. This helps ensure that individuals only access the areas they need to be in.
Another benefit of implementing an RFID access control system is cost-saving. Physical keys or cards often get lost, stolen, or duplicated, costing the property owner money to replace them. With RFID tags, individuals are less likely to lose them, and the system can easily revoke access privileges when necessary.
An RFID access control system also provides improved audit trails that can be utilized for reporting purposes, which is essential when tracking who accessed what and when. Additionally, RFID-enabled devices like key fobs and cards increase convenience for users and offer scalability and flexibility for future growth.
Overall, choosing the right access control RFID system is crucial to ensure maximum security for your property entry points. Therefore, it is essential to consider factors like the type of property you own, the number of entry points, and the level of security required.
In the context of choosing the right access control RFID system to secure property entry points, NFC-enabled devices offer a convenient and cost-effective solution. Here are some points to consider:
– NFC technology provides secure, short-range communication between devices, making it an ideal option for access credentials.
– Using smartphones or other NFC-enabled devices as access credentials eliminates the need for separate key cards or fobs, reducing costs and increasing convenience.
– When choosing an access control system, consider the type of credentials you want to use. If you want to incorporate NFC-enabled devices, ensure that the system supports this technology.
– Look for a system that offers strong security features, such as encrypted data transmission and controlled access permissions.
– Consider the size and complexity of your property and choose a system that can accommodate your needs. For example, a cloud-based system may be more suitable for a larger property with multiple access points.
– Finally, ensure that the system you choose is compatible with your existing infrastructure and can be easily integrated with your other security systems for seamless operation.
RFID Reader & Tag: The Basics of Radio-Frequency Identification
Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) is a technology that uses readers and tags to capture and store data. RFID readers are devices that can read information stored on RFID tags.
These tags can be attached to objects such as key cards, key fobs, and even people. There are two types of RFID tags: passive and active. Passive tags do not have their own power source, so they need to be activated by an external source, such as an RFID reader.
Active tags, on the other hand, have their own power supply and can transmit data over greater distances. RFID technology has become increasingly popular due to its ability to quickly track and store data.
How to Choose the Right RFID Technology for Your Access Control System
RFID technology has become a popular and effective way to control access to buildings, offices, and even homes. However, with so many different types of RFID technologies available in the market today, it can be challenging to choose the right one for your access control system.
Whether you’re looking to upgrade an existing system or install a new one from scratch, here are some tips on how to choose the right RFID technology for your needs.
Pros: Small and portable, easy to attach to keychains, convenient for users.
Cons: More expensive than RFID cards, can be lost or damaged and may require replacement.
Pros: Cost-effective, widely used, customizable with branding or additional information, easy to replace if lost or damaged.
Cons: Susceptible to wear and tear, can be cloned if not secured properly, less advanced than NFC technology.
By evaluating these pros and cons, you can make an informed decision on the best credentials for your access control system, ensuring a balance of convenience, security, and cost-effectiveness.
What Are the Different Types of RFID Systems & How Do They Operate?
RFID stands for radio frequency identification, which is basically a way to wirelessly transmit data without a physical connection. RFID is ideal for applications like access control management and asset tracking.
So what does this have to do with your home? RFID technology can be used in things like automatic doors, car access, and payment systems. Here’s how RFID systems operate:
• When an RFID-enabled device comes within range of an RFID reader, the reader automatically identifies that device and captures its unique ID number.
• The device and its corresponding ID number are then stored in a database that can be accessed whenever it’s needed.
As technology advances, RFID is finding its way into more and more aspects of our lives. Here are some examples of how RFID could impact your home:
• Automatic Doors: Instead of pulling up to a door, just hold your card in front of it and the door opens.
• Car Access: Instead of keeping an extra key for your car, you can use a special RFID-enabled key to gain access.
• Home Entry: Instead of just a key, you could have an RFID-enabled card that unlocks your front door, an RFID-enabled wristband that unlocks the front door, and even a fingerprint lock that unlocks your front door.
In the future, RFID has the potential to change the way we interact with our environment, allowing us to go hands-free and more conveniently.
How to Choose Between Low Frequency, High Frequency, & NFC Access Control
While newer, high-tech methods of access control like RFID are getting plenty of attention, they aren’t the only access control methods available. In fact, there are still a few protocols that have been around for decades and that have proven to be effective, including the following:
Low Frequency: Low Frequency (LF) access control systems are relatively secure, being able to work up to 100 feet away. They are difficult to penetrate, and signatures don’t fade or wear off. Unlike newer, high-tech access control methods, LF methods aren’t subject to interference. However, LF systems can be pricey to install, making them an impractical choice for larger facilities.
HF: High Frequency (HF) access control systems work up to 300 feet away and have several advantages over LF systems, such as being much cheaper and offering better protection. Along with being less expensive, HF readers can also work with a number of RFID cards, which LF systems can’t read. Another plus is that HF systems require no power, so they’re completely portable. However, HF cards can be stolen, and signature fading and wear are issues.
One-time Password Authentication: One-time Password authentication, or OTP authentication, is oftentimes referred to as two-factor authentication, partially because a user needs two distinct pieces of information to authenticate their account: something they know and something they have. Examples of something they know include a password, PIN, or a passphrase. Something they have could be a debit card or a smartphone, and something they’re (like an iris scan or their fingerprint) are examples that fall into the something they’re category.
While we didn’t discuss iris scans or fingerprint scanners here, it is worth mentioning that biometric authentication is becoming an increasingly popular method of access control.
NFC: Near Field Communication (NFC) is an access control method that uses radio waves to communicate with reading devices. It works within a couple of inches of the reading and authentication device. Some key fobs are just NFC readers, meaning that users can authenticate their account simply by tapping their fob on the NFC reader.
NFC access control systems have many advantages over older methods, such as being cheaper to set up and easier to install. NFC systems also offer a higher level of security since they require a physical object to be present in order to authenticate.
In conclusion, we’ve learned that having the right access control RFID access system is crucial to securing your property’s entry points. It’s important to consider factors such as the type of building, the number of users, and the level of security required when choosing a system.

These systems use key passive RFID tags which allow the user to unlock the door by simply scanning their tag. RFID systems operate by sending an encrypted signal to the reader, allowing the user to gain access by having the correct tag. This provides a secure way of entering and exiting your home as the tags can be used to control access to certain areas.
Another way to protect your home without a security system is to ensure that all doors and windows are locked. It is also important to ensure that any entryways to the house, such as garages and sheds, are secure. Finally, consider installing motion-activated lights around the perimeter of your home to deter any potential intruders.
By using door entry systems, controlling access to certain areas, locking all doors and windows, and installing motion-activated lights, you can protect your house without having to install a costly security system.
How does RFID authentication work?
RFID authentication works by using radio frequencies to identify and authenticate an individual. It is most commonly used for door security, allowing access to all the data with the correct RFID tag. RFID technology uses passive RFID tags, which are placed on an object or individual and activated by a reader. When the reader is within range of the tag, the tag sends out a signal that contains data from the tag, which the reader then translates into action. This action can be anything from unlocking a door to granting access to a database.
The reader is the key component of RFID authentication. It reads the data stored on the RFID tag and then sends that data to the authentication system. The authentication system then compares the data from the tag against a predefined set of criteria to decide whether or not to grant access. If the data matches, then access is granted.
RFID authentication is a secure, efficient form of authentication that requires no physical interaction between users and readers. It is an effective way to increase security and reduce the time and effort required to manage access control. It is also cost-effective compared to traditional authentication methods such as keycards.

Some days ago, my wife sent me this blog post. The following remarks resonated with me rather well:
While life looked great for the most part, I found myself occasionally experiencing sharp anxiety over things that seemed relatively insignificant to others around me. I related to these moments as personal setbacks in my otherwise happy journey of spiritual growth. Of course, being that harsh on myself made it worse.
All the same, with continued reflections, I could begin to see a pattern. I had a strong, an almost innate, sense of aversion – an aversion to pain, loss and to any kind of suffering.
I subconsciously detested multiple things, big and small, including the idea of falling sick, getting into an argumentative discussion, excessive socializing, meeting aggressive people or missing my daily dose of meditation or exercise. I was also averse to making blunders (perhaps minor mistakes that appeared major only to me) and harbored a subliminal fear of potential loss – of losing a loved one, my reputation or my new-found sense of peace.
I certainly could relate to this part of the blog post than the earlier part where he wrote about discovering an inner strength. Perhaps, I did so too in the last two years or I did not. I am not sure of that. But, the above part is something that I had experienced and am still experiencing.
It set me thinking on why it ought to be the case and I came up with the following explanations. Needless to add, the explanations are not mutually exclusive.
(1) Having given up (for the most part) on the pursuit of material goals and acquisitions, one naturally finds inadequately or not at all motivated to pursue certain activities whose ends would have been these. So, some activities and engagements drop out. There is more time. There is a certain incremental idle time in that sense. Hence, other thoughts come in to occupy the idle time. Vulnerabilities and fears get accentuated and get extra attention.
(2) As long as one feels that one is the ‘master of the universe’ or at least the ‘master of one’s personal universe’, one is driven by a sense of (false) belief in one’s abilities to handle things. As that feeling of ‘ego’ shrinks a bit and as becomes aware of one’s vulnerabilities, initially (‘initially’ has no reference to chronological time; chronically, it can last very long and it is, in my case) one feels a greater sense of vulnerability and experiences more fears. Logically, the next step in this process should be total surrender as one comes to terms with and accepts one’s vulnerability. For Yours Truly, it is still a work in progress, to put it positively.
(3) Both the realisation about the relative uselessness of material and other goals and the heightened sense of vulnerability could be due to some common underlying biological change. Who knows?
In a different context, my friend wrote to me that “The illusory ‘I’ has to be ‘sustained’. otherwise the bubble will burst. But we are afraid of the emptiness. The great say that emptiness is fullness’
He was responding to this blog post at ‘The Gold Standard’ blog that I maintain. He is right: even the partial realisation of the emptiness is unsettling. I am yet to come to terms with it.
First of all thanks for triggering a torrent of thoughts with this blog of yours. Very aptly titled “Dealing with vulnerability”.
What you have written about is very valid for people in transition. Not transition in a smaller sense of the word like moving from one job to another, one city to another, one country to another etc. But transition from one long phase of life with its own established norms, certainty, stability & well defined expectations to a radically new phase of life which is virtually an uncharted territory.
The first experience is one of relief from the previous phase of life. Next you start looking around more minutely at people who seem to have found peace. Then you realise many of them are people who have detached themselves from the mainstream life. Many of them are people without family responsibilities … most often unmarried. They lead a life of a yogi, sanyasi, ashram-vasi etc. You realise you are not exactly in the same boat. You might have said bye to your old way of life but responsibilities have not gone away. Responsibilities … not only financial. Financial may be the easiest to plan and by this time one would have already done so. But emotional responsibilities. Then this triggers you to find a new path which applies to one in the normal family life but has moved away from the usual track. This the first lesson that I learnt. That I have to find a way/path that is unique to me and my circumstances. Bits and pieces can be taken from the lives of those who have found the peace but in totality their way of life does not fit in with mine.
Let us move on. Having withdrawn but continuing to live in the midst of people who are busy running the race of life … at some point in time or other one may start wondering “What am I doing with my life?”. It is like you were also at the starting line of a 5000 Meters race and just when the pistol went off you decide not to run. Good that you decided not to run. Conscious wise decision. But then you see the others running earnestly. And what are you supposed to do now? Join the people in the gallery and cheer those who are running? After some time you will start wondering what are you doing here. Not only that, you had already decided it is not a wise thing to run the race, having run enough and having seen through the futility of it. How then do you cheer those who are running?
Further, is that now the purpose of your new life? Obviously you did not get out of the race to remain in the stadium. You have to find a different purpose of life. May be far away from the stadium. Something that will give you a mission and a hold for life. And pre-empt any potential emptiness.
This is probably a good lesson to learn from the ashram-vasis. They have found a new mission. A new purpose. Why not develop that new purpose, wherever you are? Not necessary that you have to get into an Ashram to find it. If you search deeply within you, it is there buried deep. One has to just unearth it. Paulo Coelho “The Alchemist”. Find your dream and go in its chase. Robin Sharma. The monk who sold his Ferrari. Purpose of life is to lead a life of purpose. There is a purpose for each life, given by God. And a special gift also given by God to enable one to find and pursue that purpose.
Sorry, even though I tried to bring some order to my thoughts, still it has been a flood and I think I have conveyed in the same manner. To cut the long story short here is a summary of my thoughts:
* Yes, a certain emptiness and a wonder about what one is doing, is inevitable in the transition.
* I do not want to simplify and say “Voila, you got it and now life will be great”. It will be under estimating the power of life if I say so. In the new life once again self doubts as to whether you are really in the right path and questions like ‘is it the right purpose?’ etc will keep cropping up. How much you love this new found purpose will decide how strong you are to overcome these “vulnerabilities”.
Happy to share. Hope these thoughts kindle some other constructive ripples in the reader.

When was the last time you visited a bank? All my local branches have closed, and yet, in the last three months, I’ve managed to get myself an overdraft, set up an investment fund, and open a new savings account – all from my mobile phone.
Personal banking is changing. I can’t tell you the name of my bank manager. I have accounts with three different banks and I’ve never stepped into a branch of two of those (partly because of their digital-only presence, partly because I just don’t need to). But, with apps at my fingertips, improved communication channels, and (potentially artificially) intelligent interactions, I’ve never felt closer to my bank.
The banking world has become undeniably digital. I recently went to see one of the UK’s top banks which has over a million log-ons to its app every minute. Suffice to say, digital transformation in the banking world is big business. Had you heard the word ‘fintech’ five year ago? I doubt it!
In recent years, smartphones have taken off and fintech start-ups have really taken advantage of emergent technologies – such as the cloud and AI – meaning that companies like Plum, which automatically saves and invests money for users based on their predicted spending habits, and Monzo, which lets you set budgets and provides real-time spend reporting, have been able to see huge success in the consumer market.
It shouldn’t need saying that traditional banks need to keep up with the new kids on the block. While these fintech disruptors aren’t offering mortgages or serious loans (yet), they’re still doing a good job of sweeping up day-to-day transactions and the low-limit overdraft market; they’re giving the traditional financial institutions healthy competition for sure.
Digital transformation, therefore, is key for any organisation wanting to stay in the race. As well as GDPR and regulators stipulating systems need to be updated and patched to stay compliant, banks are having to dive head-first into new technologies – like artificial intelligence, machine learning and blockchain – all while making the inevitable move to the cloud to support mobile-first working practices.
So how does security factor in? Well a digital transformation project is incomplete without its sister, security transformation, by its side. In an industry that is so heavily regulated, and that deals with such sensitive information, infosec is king. What’s more, in this mobile-first world, focusing solely on network security is no longer enough. Instead, security is about securing your entire IT estate, from identity to infrastructure, applications to all the data on offer.
A good start is to invest in integrated security tooling, such as M365 E5, which covers identity protection, information protection/DLP, mobile device management, advanced threat protection and cloud app security. This gives you wide coverage against a number of attack vectors and can be augmented with additional tools and services for things like penetration testing, end-point threat protection and breach simulations, providing you with a truly holistic security estate.
The way we bank is changing, and so the banks are changing too. With disruptors providing new and innovative ways for us to access and understand our money, the big institutions are having to become more agile and disruptive themselves. While fintech businesses are providing the traditional banks with little room for complacency, this can only be a good thing for consumers. But all these companies – from Monzo to Metro, Starling to Santander – should remember that, no matter what, security is key to success.

Bredolab. B is a backdoor that allows hackers to gain remote access to the affected computer in order to carry out actions that compromise user confidentiality and impede the tasks performed on the computer.
It reduces the security level of the computer: it listens on open ports in order to control the computer remotely.
It uses stealth techniques to avoid being detected by the user:
It injects itself in running processes.
It deletes the original file from which it was run once it is installed on the computer.
Bredolab. B does not spread automatically using its own means. It needs an attacking user's intervention in order to reach the affected computer. The means of transmission used include, among others, floppy disks, CD-ROMs, email messages with attached files, Internet downloads, FTP, IRC channels, peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing networks, etc.

The app marketplace has redefined consumer expectations for software and platforms. A robust, easy-to-navigate multimedia experience has become the baseline norm for many, yet concerns continue to linger regarding what data is collected through those experiences and what is done with that data. But multimedia experiences quickly complicate the IP issues associated with apps, and governments are paying closer attention to app data handling practices.
Instead of playing catch-up, consumer-oriented companies of all sizes recognize the importance of incorporating IP and Data Privacy considerations into the design of their apps at all stages.

We were recently published on Business.com, discussing the importance of cybersecurity for Small Business and how to prioritize it organizationally. We’ve included a summary and introduction below, but you can check out the full article here.
Cybersecurity isn’t always something business owners and operators focus on daily. Maybe they consider it something that falls exclusively under the IT umbrella. Maybe the risks aren’t clear and they don’t think their business is a target. Or, for some, it’s just not a comfortable topic because it can be complicated and hard to grasp with major implications.
But smart business leaders know that cybersecurity isn’t just an IT thing, and that every organization can be a target, regardless of industry or company size. Breaches at large corporations are all over the news, but we’re increasingly hearing about it happening to local companies right in our backyards. Now more than ever, it is critical we all take steps to build a strong cybersecurity posture. It’s a key component of business, and something that leadership must tackle proactively and from the top.
Cybersecurity means going above and beyond baseline technology. It’s about implementing policies and procedures to guide your business. It’s about training yourself and your team to develop a security-first mindset and remain aware in all that you do. And yes, it’s about deploying technology – but only after you have carefully chosen the right technologies to complement, not replace, your foundational and cultural cybersecurity focus.
Business owners and managers have the responsibility to set the cybersecurity tone for the whole organization. The good news? There are several straightforward steps you can take to kick off your ongoing, cyber-strong culture at your organization.

Bancos. VR is a Trojan, which although seemingly inoffensive, can actually carry out attacks and intrusions.
It captures certain information entered or saved by the user, with the corresponding threat to privacy: passwords saved by certain Windows services; keystrokes, in order to obtain information for accessing online banking services, passwords and other confidential information; email addresses.
It affects productivity, preventing tasks from being carried out:
In the affected computer: it converts the computer into a platform for taking malicious action surreptitiously: spam sending, launch of Denial of Service attacks, malware distribution, etc.
It reduces the security level of the computer: it changes system permissions, decreasing the security level.
It uses stealth techniques to avoid being detected by the user:
It modifies system permissions in order to hide itself.

It would have been easy enough for Dunkin’ Donuts to dismiss the Internet phenomenon “Dressgate” as irrelevant to its brand. What, after all, could an online debate over optical illusions and the color of a dress possibly have to do with pastry and coffee?
Turns out, plenty. In a shining example of real-time marketing done right, Dunkin’ Donuts quickly identified the viral trend and rapidly conceived and executed a relevant promotion to insert its brand into the conversation. On the morning of Feb. 27—just hours after the phenomenon erupted—the company tweeted an image of a black-and-blue frosted doughnut alongside a white-and-gold one. “Doesn’t matter if it’s blue/black or white/gold, they still taste delicious,” read the accompanying text.
The payback: More than 3,300 retweets and 4,700 favorites from those who saw it.
Dunkin’ Donuts was one of more than 120 brands to seize the “Dressgate” opportunity, and most benefitted with significantly higher engagement levels than they usually get for their branded tweets, according to Chris Kerns, head of analytics and research with marketing-technology vendor Spredfast.
Xbox, Oreo, Miller Lite, Manchester United, Goldman Sachs, the ACLU, the Salvation Army and The Rolling Stones that got involved. On average, they saw a 539 percent increase in retweet rates and “favorite” metrics more than 8,900 percent higher than they historically got, he said.
“These are pretty substantial numbers,” Kerns said. “No one knew ‘the dress’ was going to happen. It takes a quick creative effort, and the audience loved it.”
Marketing was once a one-way effort conducted at a brand’s convenience. Today, the Internet has changed all that, and marketers are turning to real-time marketing technology for help keeping up with all the events and trends that affect consumers’ lives. Whether it’s something expected like the Super Bowl, the Oscars or the arrival of Daylight Savings Time or surprise occurrences like “the dress” or significant weather events, marketers are paying closer attention than ever before and trying to get involved.
Real-time marketing is a matter of “systematically responding to your customers in the moment, based on your ability to know how a customer is interacting with your brand through any channel,” said Joe Stanhope, senior vice president of marketing at technology provider Signal.
That requires the ability to continuously gather cross-channel data about customers’ actions and respond to those customers instantly in the way that they prefer.
Marketers have been tailoring messages using customer data for decades, but “the concept of ‘real-time’ with today’s always-on consumer has become much more critical and much more literal,” Stanhope explained.
Technology, of course, is a big part of making that happen, with tools for everything from data collection and analytics to message delivery. Signal’s platform, for instance, aims to enable brands to collect, merge and take action on data in milliseconds, Stanhope said.
Programmatic and real-time bidding technologies have enabled the instantaneous delivery of personalized messages. Other products that may be involved in a real-time marketing effort include data-management platforms, cross-channel campaign-management tools, real-time analytics software and packages for curating content in real time.
Spredfast’s intelligence tool sheds light on trends in 330 geographies around the globe on Twitter and Facebook. Within seconds, users can see not just the history of any given trend but also which other brands are jumping in to capitalize on it, Kerns said.
The Humane Society of the United States uses Spredfast’s software to track hashtags and insert its brand into select online conversations. For example, on June 8 the tool revealed that #NationalBestFriendsDay was trending, said Carie Lewis Carlson, the Humane Society’s director of communications marketing.
“We didn’t even know it was National Best Friends Day,” Carlson said. “So we pivoted from our planned post and posted a photo of a staffer with her dog and asked people to share with us photos of their furry best friends.”
It was a low-risk opportunity that successfully built community around the organization, she added.
In general, real-time marketing tools are helping the Humane Society stay relevant, Carlson said.
“Before, the only option we had was trying to ‘create’ news,” she explained. “Now, we can insert our brand into conversations that are already happening.”
The technology also helps the group stay aware of what people care about. “We can engage with them on issues they want to get involved in rather than trying to get everyone to sign a petition on wolves at this very moment,” she said. “It’s all about timing. We determine what’s most relevant to our audience and serve the right kind of content to them at the right time.”
The Humane Society is still relatively new to the Spredfast platform, so it doesn’t have any hard ROI numbers yet. But Carlson believes it’s helping her organization provide better customer service. The Humane Society is also about to integrate the technology with its call center, so she expects it to break down internal silos as well, she said.
Perhaps the most widely articulated caveat associated with real-time marketing is the need to be selective.
“You can’t just jump on a trending hashtag and talk about your brand and expect everyone to care,” Spredfast’s Kerns warned.
There have been some spectacular examples of failures in this regard, such as a particularly misguided tweet from DiGiorno Pizza last fall that seemed to trivialize domestic violence. DiGiorno jumped too hastily on the #WhyIStayed hashtag that became popular after athlete Ray Rice was terminated from the Baltimore Ravens after a video became public depicting him punching his then-fiancee Janay Palmer. Whereas the hashtag’s topic was abusive relationships, DiGiorno’s regrettable tweet read, “#whyistayed You had pizza.”
The company’s followup the next day: “A million apologies. Did not read what the hashtag was about before posting.”
Marketing in real time also requires a new mind-set and careful balance at many companies. It doesn’t mean abandoning current business planning processes, but it also doesn’t mean running off “barking at every car that drives by,” said David Meerman Scott, author of books including Real-Time Marketing & PR. “Focus and collaboration are essential.”
So, too, is close coordination between marketing and IT for systems integration and careful management of issues such as customer privacy, said Carl Doty, a vice president with Forrester Research.
“Privacy is enormously important here,” Doty said. “Failing at privacy management will essentially render your real-time marketing investments useless.”
There’s no longer much doubt, however, that the benefits can be well worth the risks. “There are far more winners than losers,” said Spredfast’s Kerns.
“Employees, customers and other stakeholders are talking about your organization offline anyway, so unless you are participating online, you’ll never know what’s being said at all,” Scott said. “The beauty of the Web is that you benefit from instant access to conversations you could never participate in before.”

There is nothing quite like being on the wrong side of a data breach. At first, there might be denial, then panic. Once all the expletives have been aired and the CISO has had to do a 2 a.m. conference call with public relations, it’s time to roll up your sleeves and get to work on securing endpoints and systems and quickly eliminating any potential attack vectors. It’s no picnic, to say the least.
And yet, this is a reality that many organizations will face in the future, and it's one they must absolutely prepare for with a comprehensive cybersecurity incident response plan. The problem, however, is that this reactive strategy is where too many businesses concentrate their time, resources and effort instead of working up-front to prevent cyberattacks and reduce the potential severity of those that occur. It’s a little bit like calling an ambulance for a suspected heart attack. The outcome is often a lot less positive — not to mention more damaging — than if preventative health measures had been in force before it was too late.
To that end, what does a preventative plan look like? Let’s explore how security pros can employ all the tools at their disposal to mitigate ever-increasing cyber risk, every day.
Shaking up the status quo tends to raise a few eyebrows, but the truth is, security programs should be in a constant state of continuous improvement. Every component should stay relevant, and new developments should be assessed and factored in.
Placing emphasis on a preventative — as opposed to reactive — approach may not be widely understood outside of the security team, especially if a big, bad security incident has not taken place. It might be seen as something that isn’t broken and doesn’t need fixing. In this instance, getting executive buy-in is essential. Some of the more pertinent points for them to consider are:
• The time and cost savings in preventative measures, such as role-based training and related tools, as opposed to the potential cost of a critical incident.
• How finding and fixing vulnerabilities now keeps releases on time, with fewer showstoppers from the security team.
• Why preparing for and preempting potential security risks, from the development team right through to release, saves more time (not to mention significant cash) overall. To put it into perspective, late-stage vulnerabilities uncovered in the testing phase — or worse, post-production — can raise costs as much as 3,000%, on average.
It’s vital that proposed cultural changes are aligned with business goals, even if they seem uncomfortable at first.
Security Awareness Is Something, Security Skills Are Everything
As an industry, we talk frequently about the importance of security awareness, and this is increasingly critical for every staff member in an organization. However, it is not enough to give lip service and stop at passive training, especially for those in technical positions.
Put simply, anyone who is touching code is a potential security risk if they’re not equipped with the skills to code securely. General awareness of basic security parameters is a good start, but without contextual knowledge of good, secure coding patterns, poor habits prevail, and it’s this lack of quality development skill that attackers rely upon to do their dirty work.
Don’t Write Off Your Developers
Though the attitude is shifting, many organizations are structured in such a way that developers are rarely a true consideration in security mitigation plans. Some industries — like banking and finance — have stringent compliance and regulatory requirements that result in heightened security practices and training across the board for all staff. And while they’re certainly ahead of other verticals, just about every organization on the planet could benefit from an in-house army of security-aware developers, all with a baseline ability to sniff out common security bugs before they’re committed. Most are nowhere near achieving this critical piece of the security program puzzle, yet it’s necessary if we ever hope to secure the deluge of code that increases in volume year over year.
Preventative security should begin the moment fingers touch the keyboard to create software, but developers cannot be expected to bridge the security skills gap alone. They need the right toolset and contextual guidance to reach a higher standard of code quality, and the best results are always achieved when it’s part of their everyday work, not an afterthought that is sporadically rolled out whenever annual compliance requirements roll in.

I will be trying to spend the next 15, 17 minutes to give you an introduction of I security and policies on a global level. So let me start, of course, with a view of the global map, just to show what kind of activities are taking place globally in I IOT security policies and standards there, activities looking from left to right on the, in the us, in the UK activities from the UK have been endorsed and expanded in the U their activities in Finland. And I, then I will be focusing more a bit on the right side of the map in Australia, Singapore, and Japan. So let's start by saying, first of all, that these activities are not exactly independent or without any coordination. There is some effort for global alignment. For example, in July, 2019, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United States, and the United Kingdom set out in a commitment to align their approaches, to enhancing the security of fire devices.
And as I present the, these different approaches, you can see the point of alignment there starting a bit from the U in the European union. The main vehicle Fort security standard has been the work that has been done by ETSI in E 3, 3, 6 45. This standard defines baseline requirements for cybersecurity. For consumer I IOT its out of the need to respond to widely known cybersecurity incidents. Some of those include the botnet with one KPS Dedo attack against team, but also what followed the MII several, the botnet spinoffs, which actually numbered quite significant number of devices close to a million. The purpose of em, 3, 6, 4, 5 is to improve on basically a non-existent a non-existent provision for cybersecurity and data protection in IOT. And it does that by establishing a compound baseline across the European and wider global market. So the, this standard has the, has incorporated the feedback and has the approval of the member states as well.
The standard is outcome focused. There are 33 mandatory requirements and 35 recommendations. And just to give you a view of the different kinds of categories of pro from provisions that we find in E 3, 3, 6, 4, 5, there's most importantly a so-called reporting implementation. So if our recommendation is not implemented, the manufacturer has the obligation to report why to give a justification a rationale for that. But then there are also a number of other provisions, for instance, for no universal default passwords for making it easy, to delete data, to delete user data, to make the systems resilient to outages, as was mentioned before resilience, to ensure software integrity, to communicate securely, to keep the software updated and so on. I don't need to go through them in detail because you can always find the references at the bottom of the slide. And remember that this is an outcome focused standard.
So it is accompanied by a guide and it's accompanied by another standard, which is the assessment specification, the assessment specification clarifies how somebody can assess a device, an I T product for compliance to E 3, 3 6, 5 from the implement standpoint, how does one process the standard the E three or 3 6, 4 5? Well, the first step would be of course, to review the definitions. These are provided in the annex and they clarify the device architecture, the device states and the network architecture and to review the terms and then they would proceed to implementation. There are 3 33 mandatory requirements to implement and 35 recommendations if recommendations are not implemented then for each one of those, a rationale has to be documented. And the 1 0 3 6 1 provides the guidance on how to actually proceed in this step. And the final two steps would be that the, of conformance where the manufacturer has to complete the implementation, conformance, performing my NXP and to proceed in the assessment on the basis of Ts 1 0 3 7 1, the assessment can be inhouse or external.
So this is the overview of the five in Europe. And let's jump a bit to the left on the map or look at what's going on in the us, in the us needs has mistaken a series of activities under the umbrella of I a 2 59 to improve the cybersecurity of IOT. The main guidance document. There is IRA 2 59, which defines the foundational cybersecurity activities for IOT device manufacturer. The kind of activities that IOT device manufacturers should have take in order to ensure that the products they make, the IOT products are sufficiently capable when it comes to security measures that they implement. Now, there are specific parts there under a 2 59. So the part a and part B, which referred to manufacturers a 2 59 a provides a device security capability, core baseline. This defines a set of features that should be implemented by manufacturers and IOT device, but they features are defined without restricting the implementation.
So the manufacturing is allowed to innovate there, and there is space for performance improvements and tradeoffs. The T a 2, 5 9 B is a nontechnical support and capability called baseline being non-technical. It refers to processes and procedures that are relevant from the manufacturer stand point of view, like for instance, the ation awareness and other process related aspects, because it's not just about the product security, there's also the procedure and activity aspect of, of it. The other parts of a to five nine are the a to five nine C, which is about how to create profile using the core baseline and the non-technical baseline. So the two previous parts, and finally a to five 90, which is using the T core baseline and nontechnical baseline for the federal government, it's basically providing a profile for the federal government. Let's see a bit how that looks together. So the foundation guidance of this work in N is 802 3, which is the IOT device security guidance for the federal governments.
This provides domain specific guidance for the application of I IOT security on the basis of that, we have 8 2, 5, 9, as I mentioned, which is the process for manufacturers and the two core parts of that 8 2 5 9 a the technical code baseline, a 2 5 9 B the non-technical core baseline. These are being applied in the case of the federal profile example. I mentioned before to produce a 2, 5 90. And in that context, this process is also informed by the special publication 853, which are security and privacy controls by nest. So well known. One of course, additional profiles can be defined for other domains or other verticals. And those could be informed by the process defined in a 2, 5, 9 C, which is the profile development process. So this picture shows how the different parts that are under the 8 2, 5, 9 umbrella work together in the new specification. And while we are at the us, let's look a bit into what are the legislative initiatives at the federal level.
So in the us, there was the internet of things, cybersecurity improvement act in of 2020. This mandates needs to develop standards and guidelines for the federal government and on how to use and manage internet of things, devices by federal agencies. That means that there are two basically groups of standards and guidelines. The first one is for federal agencies and it has to do with topics like vulnerability management, secure development, identity management, partnering, and so on. But there's also another part which has to do with standards and guidelines for device manufacturers. And they have to do with coordinated vulnerability, disclosure, resolution of vulnerabilities, information sharing about vulnerabilities. And these practices are aligned to international standards in the ISO.
Finally, let's look quickly at legislative initiatives at the state level, we have the cybersecurity of connected devices act in the state of California, which provides specific applications on manufacturers of a connected device. For instance, to provide a reasonable security feature appropriate to the nature of fraction of the device, appropriate to the information may collect container transmit. But this act also set specific requirements as alternatives, which are set by the legislation for, for instance, that the pre-program password is unique to each device manufacturer or that the device contains a security feature to that requires the user to generate a new means of authentication before access is granted to the device for the first time a so-called trust and first use approach. Finally, still in the us let's look at the CT I IOT cybersecurity certification program. This is about certifying I UT devices defines three levels of increasing complexity, sophistication, and manageability level one with a minor fee is about terms of service, privacy, policy, password management, access control. And so on level two is extends to the audit log confidentiality of data in transit, secure boots and multifactor authentication and threat monitoring. And level three goes even further to data address digital signature generation validation, temporary evidence design, and other design features.
Since we're talking about certification labels, labels, we cannot omit the work that has be done by the Singapore cybersecurity agency. They have a, this so-called CLS scheme for consumer smart devices, which defines four tiers of increasing testing and assessment. It's a voluntary scheme and the label is valid for as long as security updates are available, which is up to a maximum of three years. So the tier one covers baseline requirements, tier two on top lifecycle requirements. And those can be covered by developers, declaration of conformance. However, tier threes refers to software binary analysis and tier four penetration testing, and those involve a third part independent laboratory testing. So it's a uhno, this is another scheme, which has been at least in terms of feedback from the industry we've received positive and good feedback in Japan. We have the IOT security safety framework, which refers to a combination of risk perspectives taking into account the degree of economic impact of incidents and the degree of difficulty of recovery from the incident.
And this has to do with the resilience that was mentioned in my, by the panel and highlighted, it refers to devices as well as systems, and it tries to generate security safety requirements from those perspectives. So there are a set of requirements that have to do with before operation, typically manufacturer process requirements for, from the manufacturer and so on their requirements, which are in the operational scope and their requirements for the operator, which are more of our major like licensing, statutory regimes and so on. And they're also other requirements designed to, with mechanisms relevant, to social support. It's interesting to see how this framework is rather more comprehensive in the sense that it tries to combine several perspectives, the economic perspective, the resilience perspective, but also the security and safety perspective.
Finally, since we are in that part of the, of the map, let's look at what Australia has done. I mentioned at the beginning that Australia was part of global corporation agreement. And of course, it's no surprise here that we see that the Australia has a code of practice, which is about securing the internet of things for consumer it's about voluntary application and it's based on 13 principles. And if we, if you were to look into the em, three or 3, 6, 4, 5, which actually originated by an activity in the UK, by the CMS, you would recognize exactly those 13 principles. These are the basic principles that have been identified as relevant for the improvement of the non-existent baseline of I IOT security. And actually the top three principles have been found that they are relevant to more than 85% of the incidents. So by implementing the top three principles alone, somebody could address the 80, 85% of the security incidents that have been observed IOT security.
So after Australia back to the origination of this, the UK department of DCMS, digital culture, media, and sport, they had done a consultation to secure consumer IOT. This led to Ts 1 0 3, 6 45 and 3, 6 45, because it has been adopted by the European standard organizations in ETSI. And as I mentioned, these are the top three guidelines. So for passwords IOT device passwords must be unique butt to any universal factory setting. Vulnerability disclosure policy manufacturers must provide a public point of contact as part of vulnerability, disclosure, policy and security updates. Manufacturers must explicitly state the minimum length of time for which the device will receive security updates. And these are the top three. Finally, in, in Finland, we have the finished transport communication agency, Finland being aneu member state has picked up on the work that has been done on ETSI. So on the work on E N three, six for five, it has created a cyber security label with the requirements from that the standard they are, there are a fee structure per product and service, and it provides a description of the product and what measures are there to protect against common threats in IOT. So that's the scope of the labeling. It includes specifically addresses passwords, and whether it's weak, guessable hard coded, or whether there are insecure or out of date components in use, it addresses also privacy protection, data and transit and data addressed network services and ecosystem interfaces, and last but not least secure defaults.
So to summarize, what can we say that we have learned today? Well, there are a number of policy initiatives that have been undertake by different nations to improve the cybersecurity of I IOT to improve the baseline. There are some differences among the schemes, particularly if we look at the labeling that has been chosen, different parts of the world, for instance, there are differences in terms of the levels, the tiers or the fee structures, but what's important to observe is that there is convergence, which is emerging already among initiatives and schemes. There's clear convergence on secured by design principles that an IOT manufacturers should apply in IOT device development. There's clear alignment in baseline cybersecurity capabilities that an IOT device should avail. And there's clear guidance on what are the most important ones. For instance, the top three I mentioned, and there's also clear alignment on the responsibilities that the IOT manufacturers should own, or with regard to the treatment of vulnerabilities. So this I hope has provided you with a sufficient enough summary of the state of IOT security standards and policies, and some legislations on a global scale. And with that, I would like to stop here and open the floor for any questions.

The invalidation of the Safe Harbor agreement is a stark reminder of how crucial it is for business leaders to keep up with legislation at home, and internationally. By staying informed on legislative developments, organizations can avoid the costly mistake of being caught unprepared. No company operates in a bubble.
The key to applying this lesson is simple: Read the news and ask questions. Identify the top 10 publications that track news of relevance to your industry, and make a habit of monitoring for developments related to legislation that currently impacts or could potentially impact your business' day-to-day operations. For example, does the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA) stand to upend your customers' trust of your organization? Include in your daily news scan searches for relevant legislation, regulatory agencies, or congressional committees so that you can be an active participant in the debate, not just an affected party. Setting up a Google alert with key search terms is a great way to stay on top of the news that matters most to your business.

In October, the European Union's highest court struck down the "Safe Harbor" Privacy Principles, a provision that allowed for the sharing of European personal data between the EU and U.S. The verdict is meant to preserve EU citizens' inherent right to privacy given the reality of U.S. national security laws, specifically The Patriot Act, which provide the NSA nearly unilateral access to data managed by U.S. companies.
While this may be a win for privacy advocates, it has left almost 5,000 companies with no clear solution for legally transferring data between Europe and the U.S. Temporary workarounds such as the use of Model Clauses are inefficient, and are currently operating in a legal grey area until regulators take a firmer stance on acceptable practices. In this slideshow, Accellion outlines the top five lessons businesses need to learn from Safe Harbor, as well as how they can apply them to their business strategy.

Despite the unprecedented number of cyber incidents that occur every day, over half (56%) of companies still do not have a cyber incident response (IR) plan in place today. With attacks becoming more severe and discrete than ever, organizations are putting themselves at significant risk by neglecting to implement proper security policies and procedures.
If the growing prevalence isn’t enough to demand boardroom attention, the associated price tag should raise a red flag. IBM’s Cost of a Data Breach 2022 revealed that those that do have a regularly tested incident response team save an average of $2.66 million compared to those that do not.
Still, the findings do not suggest those with plans in place enter the clear—as the average cost of a data breach reached an all-time high of $4.35 million. Rather, the trends suggest companies focus on adapting their initiatives to match the growing complexities of our interconnected environments.
As such, meaningful contextual insights must take precedence over the key performance indicators (KPIs) traditionally used to measure IR plan success.
Incidents Over Time can visually track progress or indicate areas for improvement by displaying the average number of incidents by day, week, month, year, etc.
Mean Time to Detect (MTTD) is the average time it takes for the appropriate team member to respond to a system alert. This metric can be a good indicator of what a team’s workload is like—whether it’s too much, or not enough—and shed light on whether everyone is internally aligned on individual responsibilities.
Mean Time to Respond (MTTR) is the amount of time it takes to diagnose and remediate the issue so that it does not continue happening.
Although the above metrics should still play a role in measuring security response effectiveness, they should not be the sole indicator of how skilled your team is, or how well your plan is working.
While it may seem like it goes without saying, many security professionals struggle to understand what’s expected from them due to the amount of overlap between security, risk, IT and DevOps teams.
“Because so many groups can be involved, depending on the nature of the incident and the required response, having defined interfaces and assigned roles and responsibilities is a key requirement.” – CISA
Seventy percent of organizations are running at least 10 tools for security hygiene and posture management alone, creating a huge obstacle for incident responders that need to act as quickly as possible.
With spreadsheets remaining a key aspect of the entire management lifecycle, point-in-time assessments make it hard for IR teams to stay ahead of the adversary.
Does my IR plan consider the “ripple effect”?
The average time to identify and contain a breach is 277 days (IBM, Cost of Data Breach 2022). By then, malicious actors can do a lot of damage. Teams need to know and be able to identify the blast radius in the event of an incident to drastically expedite the mean time to respond (MTTR) and, if necessary, notify all necessary properties.
The above screenshot from the Noetic platform shows a machine with a vulnerability on an email server and through the network there is another server (HubSpot) with more vulnerabilities. An attacker could jump from the Email_Services machine over to HubSpot, as they’re both on the same network. This shows what the blast radius of the compromised email server is, and what could be attacked after it.
Relatedly, no amount of skill or speed can ever ensure a 100% vulnerability-free attack surface. However, detailing remediation efforts according to risk levels can paint a more detailed picture that quantifiable metrics on their own cannot.
There are a lot of moving parts when it comes to incident management. While traditional incident response metrics are effective at suggesting a closer look, they shouldn’t be the end-all-be-all for evaluating the success of your incident response plan.
Get more insight into what’s really working, what’s not, and how to reach your desired state with a single view of your entire cyber ecosystem. Join Noetic’s next live demo to learn more.

Got a spammy-looking message in your Messages inbox? As long as you have iOS 7 or later installed on your iPhone, the steps are pretty simple. Open the message, tap Contact, then tap the little “i” button that appears.
Next, you’ll see a (mostly blank) contact card for the spammer who sent you the message. Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and tap “Block this caller.” C-ya, spammer.
For Android, it’s a little more complicated
The SMS-blocking situation for Android is a bit more complex than for iOS—although to be fair, it wasn’t possible to block text messages on the iPhone at all until iOS 7 came around.
While the “stock” Messaging app won’t let you block SMS spammers, there’s a plethora of apps on the Google Play store that’ll do the job…or used to, anyway.
Working in tandem with the standard Messaging app, third-party SMS-blocking apps (like SMS Filter or Mr. Number) let you create and manage what’s called a “blacklist”—that is, a list of phone numbers that you don’t want to hear from again. Other anti-spam apps, like Postman and Spam Blocker, will go ahead and flag suspected SMS spam.
But thanks to a new restriction in the latest version of Android—namely, that only one app at a time may tap into your SMS messages—many of these handy SMS spam-blocking apps have been rendered useless.
Now, it’s very possible that your particular Android phone hasn’t been updated to Android “KitKat” yet, in which case you’re free to shop around for a dedicated SMS blocking app.
Optus says the stolen data includes names, email addresses, postal addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, and for a portion of the affected customers, identification numbers including passport numbers, driver’s licence numbers and Medicare numbers.
The dump of records released by the forum user contained all this information.
How common is this method of attack?
“Unfortunately, it can be pretty common,” Josh Lemon, a digital forensics and cyber incident expert at SANS Institute, said. But he said attackers tended to not target a single organisation. They usually scan across the internet looking for known vulnerabilities and exploiting those vulnerabilities all at once, he said.
“So for a threat actor to specifically just go after [one company] is a little bit unique in that sense.”
In an email sent to its members on Friday, Sep. 16, the coffee chain said that it had discovered “unauthorised activity online” and “some unauthorised access” to customer details, such as name, gender, date of birth, mobile number, email address and residential address.
Following this incident, Starbucks added that relevant authorities have been informed and that the firm is assisting them on this matter.

HOSPITALITY platform RedDoorz was found to have leaked the details of 5.9 million customer records in the largest data breach incident since Singapore’s Personal Data Protection Act came into force. The root cause was traced to the API key embedded in the mobile app that the developers used.
Even if ReDoorz had several pentests done. The mobile app was not screened. It however helped to reduce the overall fines levied on it.

Many commodities such as gold, oil, coal, and copper continue to fall to major lows.
Gold has been in the spotlight and has now traded down for 11 straight days, crashing through the widely-watched $1,100 level.
Some analysts are pointing the finger towards advances in the dollar against major currencies. The meltdown in China also had a major impact on currencies, even though markets there are off their lows.. The country reported a sharp decline in commodity imports at the beginning of the year. In its April Commodities Outlook, the World Bank stated that the Lunar New Year holiday falling into February this year had an effect on demand, but the post-holiday re-bound didn't occur in March.
The World Bank believes that commodity prices will continue to see weakness through to 2016 where it will witness a moderate recovery.
Meanwhile, Morgan Stanley (MS) warned that oil could reach levels far worse than 1986, especially once Iran's nuclear deal gets cleared.
That drove strong gains in Palo Alto Networks (PANW), FireEye (FEYE), CyberArk (CYBR), Barracuda Networks (CUDA), and others.
Recent major data hacks have boosted sentiment towards the sector, the most notable being infidelity dating website AshleyMadison.com, which suffered a major security breach ast week. As more and more individuals put their information online, the need for strong cybersecurity increases. Venture capital firms invested over $1.2 billion into cybersecurity firms this year, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The PureFunds ISE Cyber Security ETF (HACK) is now up almost 20% for the year, and was up 2.4% today despite a decline in the NASDAQ Composite.
Ferrari Revs to the NYSE
Fiat Chrysler (FCAU) filed for its Ferrari unit's IPO on the NYSE. The spin-off is expected to be completed in early 2016. Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne stated that the company sell about 10% of its stake to the public, while 80% will be distributed among Fiat Chrysler shareholders. Piero Ferrari, son of founder Enzo Ferrari, will hold the remaining 10%.
The IPO is expected to happen in mid-October.
Friday's Financial Outlook
Economic news for tomorrow will include Markit US manufacturing, new home sales, and the Baker Hughes rig count.
Overseas economic data includes Markit's Eurozone, France, and Germany PMI's.
American Airlines (AAL), Biogen Idec (BIIB), Omnicare (OCR), and Xerox (XRX) will report earnings before the open tomorrow. There are no earnings announcements after the close.

Centrify is formalizing its partner strategy with the creation of a new technology partner program that will bring together Centrify partners such as Dropbox and Zoom. The new Centrify Alliance Partner Program (CAPP) is intended to make it easier for cloud and mobile applications developers and ISVs to use Centrify's unified identity services to further protect their apps and end users.
The new program was unveiled at the Samsung Developers Conference this week in San Francisco. The reason for the choice in venue seems to be to spotlight Centrify's partnership with Samsung that saw the popular mobile device manufacturer add Centrify's Zero Sign-on technology to its KNOX platform earlier this year. And it's likely many of the technology partners that will join the new Centrify program will be developing apps that will touch Samsung Android smartphones and tablets.
According to Shreyas Sadalgi, vice president of Business Development at Centrify, "our new partner program allows more companies and developers to rely on Centrify's cloud platform to leverage our leading SaaS and mobile security features that provide centrally managed policies to securely access and authenticate users to partners' leading SaaS applications, regardless of device or location."
In a way, the launch of CAPP is just solidifying the technology partnerships that Centrify already has in place, but putting some formal rules in place for how Centrify engages with partners could help to accelerate its growth in the partner space.
In addition to having access to Centrify's cloud security technology, partners will also be able to jointly develop and deliver integrated solutions for the SaaS and mobile markets, grow recurring revenue streams, get access to training, licensing and resources, do joint development and testing, and access Centrify's partner portal.
Centrify is breaking the partner program into three tiers:
Developer partners, which receive discounts on Centrify products, services and support. They may obtain access to Centrify APIs. The partner level is intended to enable developers and ISVs to redistribute Centrify Zero Sign-on-enabled apps. They also get free usage of the Centrify Cloud Service for up to three mobile apps.
Business partners, which work with Centrify to implement joint marketing and sales strategies, including opportunities to cross-sell, upsell or promote solutions to Centrify customers.
Premier partners, which have more strategic partnerships with Centrify and have proven success with cross-selling and recommending Centrify products on a global scale. This partner level is intended to deliver on growth and success objectives with access to Centrify's customers for mutual benefit.

he bill was introduced March 21 and ordered to proceed out of committee on March 29 without amendments and with a favorable recommendation. Text in the bill states:
“The lack of an easy, affordable, reliable, and secure way for organizations, businesses, and government agencies to identify whether an individual is who they claim to be online creates an attack vector that is widely exploited by adversaries in cyberspace and precludes many high-value transactions from being available online. Incidents of identity theft and identity fraud continue to rise in the United States, where more than 293,000,000 people were impacted by data breaches in 2021.”
The bill calls for the formation of a public-private partnership to bring this digital ID system into being.
“The public and private sectors should collaborate to deliver solutions that promote confidence, privacy, choice, equity, accessibility, and innovation. The private sector drives much of the innovation around digital identity in the United States and has an important role to play in delivering digital identity solutions.”
The bill references the bipartisan Commission on Enhancing National Cybersecurity, which has called for the Federal Government to
“Create an interagency task force directed to find secure, user-friendly, privacy-centric ways in which agencies can serve as 1 authoritative source to validate identity attributes in the broader identity market. This action would enable Government agencies and the private sector to drive significant risk out of new account openings and other high-risk, high-value online services, and it would help all citizens more easily and securely engage in transactions online.”
The above section of the bill is extremely vague and left wide open for bureaucrats and technocrats to require a digital ID to perform any function considered “high-risk, high-value online services,” up to and including logging onto the internet.
Globalists with ties to the United Nations and World Economic Forum have for several years advocated a digital ID requirement as a way of removing so-called “disinformation” from the internet. Once everyone has a digital ID, it becomes easy to restrict everyday human movement and activity based on one’s social credit score, like in China, which Klaus Schwab has stated is the model for many other nations. If your score dips below a certain point, you are now a “high risk” individual and your digital ID would simply be flagged. The government, working in collusion with Big Tech in their ongoing public-private partnership, simply block you from logging onto the internet. You can no longer have a bank account, get a driver’s license, receive healthcare, obtain a passport, or any of those other “high risk” privileges.
We have already seen how the government worked hand in glove with Big Tech and corporate America to silence dissidents on vaccines, vaccine passports, masking and lockdowns during the pandemic. In Canada, the government worked with banks to freeze the bank accounts of protesting truckers. The whole Covid experience was a dry run for the coming mark of the beast system where you won’t be able to buy or sell without proof of submission to the beast system. Digital IDs, in tandem with the coming digital money, will be weaponized into a global enforcement system the likes of which the world has never seen.
These intrusive, invasive attempts to digitize humanity and reduce us to a QR code always come with the same sweet-sounding selling points. It will make our lives easier, more convenient, more safe and secure. We will even have more “privacy” Senator Sinema assures us!
Sinema, it’s important to note, was present at the 2022 Bilderberg meeting and at the 2023 World Economic Forum meeting at Davos. She’s quickly becoming one of the darlings of the global technocracy movement, said Patrick Wood, editor in chief of Technocracy.news and a resident of Arizona.
“She is emerging as one of the most dangerous women in America,” claims Wood.
The head of the proposed new task force charged with creating the digital ID, according to Senate Bill 884, would be appointed by the president.
The Senate bill states that the task force will “establish and coordinate a government-wide effort to develop secure methods […] to improve access and enhance security between physical and digital identity credentials, particularly by promoting the development of digital versions of existing physical identity credentials, including driver’s licenses, e-Passports, social security credentials, and birth certificates.”
This is right in line with globalist World Economic Forum kingpin Klaus Schwab’s pronouncement in his book, COVID-19: The Great Reset; that the human existence is evolving to the point where there will be “a fusion of our physical, digital and biological identities.”
And our politicians, both liberal and conservative, will be on board with this. It’s the “innovative” thing to do, and after all, and they’re just trying to protect us, right?
When first introduced in 2022, Arizona Senator Sinema said, “We’re supporting innovation and enhancing privacy by improving digital verification to combat identity theft, fraud, and cybercrime.”
“COVID-19 changed a lot of the way Americans live, work, and provide for our families, and we have become even more reliant on digital commerce platforms. “Technology has the potential to dramatically improve the security and privacy of identity credentials, and enable easier access to the financial system. It doesn’t make sense that Americans have to constantly overshare sensitive identity information with government agencies and businesses, which are honeypots all too often targeted by hackers and identity thieves. I’m proud to work with my friend and colleague Sen. Sinema to introduce the Improving Digital Identity Act of 2022 to work toward digital identity standards that protect our privacy and give Americans more control over their identity.”
Other senators have also called for the creation of a national digital ID system.
Winepress News reported that Congressman Barry Loudermilk, a conservative Georgia Republican, said in 2021 while pushing for similar legislation:
But with more Americans adapting to a ‘new normal’ in the way we go about purchasing life necessities, this also means more Americans’ personally identifiable information [PII] is at risk of being stolen.”
If this bill passes, you can bet Biden will sign it. Such a bill would require, no matter how gradually, the system’s obedient subjects to show their digital papers in order to perform ever more functions in society until they end up as digitally marked slaves to their elitist masters. They will have handed over ownership of their very identity to the beast system.

Like most website operators, Malware collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Malware purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Malware visitors use its website. From time to time, Malware may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Malware also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on http://malwared.org blogs/sites. Malware only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.

The quadrocopter, a Parrot AR drone, was operated by a member of the German Pirate Party as a protest against government surveillance and the ongoing scandal over the Euro Hawk drone program—which failed because it could not get certified to fly in European airspace. In a statement, the deputy head of the Pirate Party, Markus Barenhoff, said, "The goal of the effort was to make Chancellor Merkel and Defense Minister de Maiziere realize what it's like to be subjugated to drone observation." The drone was harmless, aside from potential political collateral damage to Merkel's Christian Democratic Party, and the pilot of the drone was released after being briefly held by police.
While Merkel smirked off the drone in Dresden, even a small explosive charge or grenade aboard a similar drone would have been catastrophic—and defending against such attacks is difficult at best. Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) researchers from TNO Defense Research, an organization in The Netherlands, recently showed the real risk of that sort of attack, demonstrating that terrorists and insurgents could effectively use current commercial and do-it-yourself drones as weapons in a number of scenarios, including one much like the Dresden event.
In a paper published during the Unmanned Systems 2013 conference last month, Klaas Jan de Kraker and Rob van de Wiel of TNO Defence Research analyzed the threat posed by "mini-UAVs"—small remote-controlled and autonomous drones weighing less than 20 kilograms (44 pounds).
The research was in part prompted by two incidents in 2010—the crashing of a radio-controlled plane into The Netherlands' House of Parliament as a prank and the foiling of a plot to use explosives-packed, radio-controlled model airplanes to attack the Capitol and the Pentagon by the FBI.
TNO researchers found that small drones, especially those using autonomous navigation, could be stealthy, accurate, and potentially deadly weapons, and the probability of their use is rapidly increasing. The paper presented the following potential scenarios:
During a large public event in a stadium, a terrorist launches a Mini UAV, which is equipped with a machine gun, from a building at some distance. He directs the Mini UAV into the stadium and remotely fires the machine gun. In the panic that occurs in the stadium numerous people are overrun and die.
During a public speech by a VIP, the VIP is shielded from the audience by bulletproof glass. However, a terrorist deploys a Mini UAV equipped with an explosive, which flies over the shielding glass. The explosive detonates close to the VIP wounding him fatally.
During an expeditionary mission, opposing forces launch a Mini UAV toward a compound. When the Mini UAV has reached the center of the compound, it releases a chemical agent. Luckily this only causes some minor physical effects on people that were present and unprotected. However this has caused significant fear among the compound inhabitants.
During an expeditionary mission, an opposing militant group launches a small swarm of Mini UAVs, each equipped with an explosive, toward an airbase. The Mini UAVs fly toward the fighter jets that are parked on the airbase, and their explosives detonate just above the fighter jets. This significantly damages a number of jets and even destroys one of them.
Because of their size, their low flying altitude, and their relatively low speed, mini-UAVs are particularly hard to detect—especially in an urban environment, the researchers found. Even if they are detected, identifying whether they're a threat or not is still an issue, because it's difficult to determine whether they're armed or just carrying a camera. And because of the short range they're detectable at, security forces would have only seconds of warning to decide whether to attack the drone or not.
"Detection and classification are very difficult," de Kraker and van de Wiel wrote. "This is not only due to their small size but also to their very low flying altitude and speed, and to clutter that occurs from trees and buildings." Tests of a number of commercial and do-it-yourself mini-UAVs in TNO's anechoic radar room revealed that they had a "bird-size" radar cross-section, and their relatively low speed makes them hard to distinguish from birds under even more ideal conditions.
The TNO researchers looked at a number of other ways to detect micro-UAVs, including audio sensors, radio detection of control signals, continuous-wave radar, and infrared. The best results came from mixing radar and infrared—using radar for initial detection and infrared sensors for classification.
Burn them with lasers
Taking down potentially hostile drones once they're detected comes with another set of problems. While radio jamming can be used to interrupt remote-control signals for drones, it might not keep them from reaching their target and would be ineffective against autonomous drones using GPS or GLONASS satellite navigation. Jamming commercial navigation signals could cause autonomous drones to fail to find their target, but could cause other security and safety problems at the same time.
And just shooting down drones in a crowded urban environment could cause more damage than the drones themselves. "Missile systems with small missiles and a suitable guidance mechanism, (rapid fire) guns with suitable ammunition, and machine guns are considered as very effective means for neutralizing Mini UAVs," the researchers wrote, but "downsides may be that missile systems are relatively expensive and that these hard kill systems could generate collateral damage."
The best answer, de Kraker and van de Weil suggested, might be laser and high-power microwave "directed energy solutions," which could be used to heat the drones up until their batteries or electronics are destroyed. These weapons could be deployed in a truck to provide protection for events at public places with lower risk to people and property on the ground than a chain gun or small missiles.
To heat up batteries or electronics to the point of failure you might as well cook someone at the same time.
Focal point. Set the focal point to precisely the distance to the target. You get the target position from sensors. Radar would work fine. For finding drones possibly LIDAR, IR imaging, or acoustic would work too.
Water. A good sized watercannon will drop anything that small out of sky, probably shortcircuit it and if you miss, you only get a wet audience. Microwaves, lasers, these guys aren't thinking outside of the box...
Water. Air cannon?! It ought to blast the thing with such force the gyro stabilization wouldn't know its head from its tail and it would crash.
I wonder how much extra payload the typical quadcopter can fly with. I can see strapping a grenade or small explosive device to one but the point about mounting a machine gun on one seems a little far fetched.
Obviously something like an M2 would be far too heavy for most quad-rotors right now (aside from one large enough to be easily shot down by even a fresh-out-of-basic soldier), but a UMP45 weighs under 7 pounds fully loaded - and on a quad-rotor, the stock, grips, and sights could all be removed since they're human control features. The lost weight could support a larger magazine, greater flight time, or faster flight speed. I'm not sure how accurate it would be after recoil kicks in, but it could definitely cause some real chaos.
Actually I would bet most modern nations have plenty of ways they could take out leaders if they really wanted to. They don't by choice, part self-preservation and part because eliminating an elected leader is pointless and often backfires. The trick is to pin the blame on someone else. Also, I don’t know how well this would have worked on a dictator who is actually paranoid about personal security (notice the police reaction in this case).
Coups are another matter of course.
And as you say, terrorism is about mass effect.
I suppose it could be very dangerous in the hand of the crazy loner who for whatever reason really thinks that getting that one person is worth it. Still I can see this kind of thing for domestic uses being pretty rare.
Well, home-made sarin has been made and used (See Tokyo Subway attack), so load up a bunch of these than can carry several pounds, and with a good dispersal system and/or proper dispersal explosive they could cause havoc on a large cloud. Not saying it'd be simple or easy, but probably very doable.
And while rubber bullets or bean bag rounds could certainly knock most of these out pretty easily, their range is very limited. 100m range for rubber bullets, or 6m effective range for bean bag rounds. Not exactly conducive for stopping a drone with a properly made shrapnel round.
With a directed energy weapon that correctly locks on, you'll probably either burn out the electronics (or at least camera), probably overheat the engines, or possibly even just heat it up enough so that it no longer has sufficient structural stability and will just rip itself apart. Plus, it has the ability to do that from much further away and with the right tracking software a lot more accurately. And it will also disperse into the atmosphere naturally so that after a distance, it becomes non-lethal and further it'll just be like in the hot sun for a short duration.
The challenge for any anti-drone weapons in these kinds of situations will be the very, very short time that they have to make a decision. Sometimes they'll just need to say that any drone without a proper IFF (or just any drone period) will automatically be engaged if it enters a specific distance.
"Dutch researchers warn that the next time, that drone could explode". So you better fund our research or else... someone may do this to you in the future.
More like someone WILL do it, so start preparing.
I thought the tagline was unfortunately worded.
Given than the training to shoot and being a marksman for a moving target is hard. But how would a directed energy weapon such as the microwave or even laser attack to heat up batteries be safer?
Ground defences are in a very tight spot. If they aren't completely vigilant they could easily miss a real attack. If they are vigilant the number of false positives is going to be high. Then there's the point made above about the difficulty of actually hitting a bird sized target. How about the process of deciding the threat is so great that it justifies shooting first and asking questions later?
If a drone gets into a large crowd and flies just above people's heads you simply can't stop it. Shoot from the front or the flank and you've got crowd in your line of fire; shoot from the rear and you're aiming at the same target the drone is. Shooting up at it assumes your weapons are located in the crowd itself and near the drone's flight path. In any case once the drone is above the crowd you can't shoot it down because it will fall or drop its payload into the crowd. You're not going to be very popular if your attempt to foil an assassination attempt kills 10 bystanders.
So you must prevent the drone from reaching the crowd in the first place and that's going to disrupt a lot of ordinary peaceful activities. Imagine disabling or jamming cell phone service in a 5 block radius. <s>That's not inconvenient at all and there's no way anyone could possibly die because nobody can call 911</s>
Any weapon with recoil is going to be problematic.
You're both missing the point. A theoretical attacker wouldn't be trying to cause harm with the machine gun itself. It would merely be a means to induce a panic. Send 80k people through small concrete hallways and you'll get some trample injuries.
You don't even need bullets, convincing sound and light might be enough to achieve this end.
The German reaction was proportionate to the act itself. This was exactly my thoughts as well after i read the article. Can you imagine if someone had flown one near Obama as part of a protest against Drones & Surveillance. He'd no doubt be being pulled up on terrorist charges right now.
Water. Annoyed but in one piece.
With the added benefit of doubling as a handy crowd-dispersal device if the crowd reacts badly to the politician/assassination target.
I find the reaction of the German authorities to be strikingly different from the response I would expect from American police / secret service personnel. The fellow that flew the quad-copter into the stage didn't even get charged it seems. What do you bet that if somebody flew the same drone anywhere near the American president they would be not only arrested but charged with some form of terrorist activity? Even if they somehow managed to avoid terrorism charges specifically I'm positive they'd still get hit with a bunch of charges, everything from threatening the president to disorderly conduct / breach of the peace.
I guess I disagree.... I would find the act of flying a UAV at/near our president an extremely disrespectful act, and anyone stupid / audacious enough to do this, would probably deserve to be taught a pretty strong lesson about boundaries. For the same reason you don't *joke* about assasinations, you don't fly drones at heads of state to teach them a lesson.
I strenuously oppose this viewpoint. Disrespectful, stupid, audacious acts are not illegal. If harm is done to anybody – VIP or average, innocent bystander – then the perpetrator deserves to be charged *in a manner that is proportional to the crime*. But punishing somebody just to 'teach them a lesson' is not only morally obscene, but is counterproductive anyway.
'Teaching somebody a lesson' when they haven't actually committed a crime merely to try and dissuade further such acts is counterproductive in much the same fashion as killing civilians during a drone strike results in villagers becoming angry with the US, in such a way that in the process of killing one terrorist we accidentally create five more new terrorists. What you're proposing is analogous: by teaching somebody a lesson for a spurious reason, we would create anger in certain segments of the populace, potentially resulting in others taking up the cause of the imprisoned individual, and also risks radicalizing the original perpetrator in such a way that when they get out of prison for having committed a harmless act they then commit an actually harmful and potentially violent act as revenge for their unfair, uncalled-for imprisonment.
---
Your reaction to the idea of a hypothetical drone flyby of our president touches upon a serious flaw in our current 'justice' system. The knee-jerk 'teach them a lesson' response is perfectly in line with the disproportionate and arbitrarily harsh treatment that people get when they are charged with a crime.
I don't know a ton about the German justice system and the nature of the prisons there, but I would wager that they may be less focused upon punishment and more centered on rehabilitation. Here in the US our prisons and the prosecutorial charges that are used to fill them are intended to serve a double purpose: segregating those people that are convicted, sure, but also attempting to dissuade others from committing similar crimes through the harshness of the punishments.
The reason I mention this – and how it relates to the rehabilitation-focused German system – is because were somebody to fly a drone into the stage as Obama (or any other future president) spoke, the charges they would indubitably get would stem from this dual-purpose model. Not only would the charges be based on overblown fears of terrorism independent of the perpetrators intentions and motives, they would also be intended to scare others away from attempting a similar act. I made mention of the potential for a 'disturbing the peace' charge because these extra tack-on charges are the perfect vehicles for purposely and arbitrarily inflating the amount of time served.
And yet I believe that the Germans' method would be more effective in dissuading further copycat attempts, because the individual in question was released almost immediately. This gets the story out of the perpetual news cycle and thus the public consciousness that much more quickly. And furthermore, in the American system the massive, disproportionate amount of time that would result from the sum total of the charges will pretty much guarantee that anger is fostered in the perpetrator, which can result in fighting the charges tooth and nail, both keeping the story in the news and worse yet causing many tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars of public money to be spent in the course of the trial.
In summary I think the Germans have a handle on the ideas of proportional response and rehabilitation, whereas the American justice system has a backwards understanding of cause and effect. Worse, the American justice system in contrast to the German system has become warped, in that it no longer has any pretense of rehabilitation, instead being bent on excessive and supposedly preventative punishment based on our puritanical morals and the irrational fear and anger that springs from the experience of 9/11.
It appears the Russians have already managed it and they seem to be able to handle the recoil.
And I'm only half joking, a 600$ reprap cant print for 20$ or so the pieces of a quadcopter that can be powered from an arduino , beagle or a dedicated board. The bill of materials is < 200$ example : http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:129855
And because of people like our govt does whatever the fuck they want. Wake up dude.
Nylon Mist nets like Biologists use to capture bats and small birds.
It is nothing but net made out of essentially clear fishing line.
Headlines of the future: A pigeon is blown up by a laser defense system after being detected as a possible weaponized drone, spilling pigeon guts over a Super Bowl half-time crowd. Film at 11.
Hell, Randy Johnson killed a bird with a fastball at an all star game.
I only wish that the American 'justice system' and policing machine were capable of such distinctions, reacting based on intent and actual effect instead of potential effects and wild speculation.
You should absolutely be allowed to joke about assassinations or literally anything else, and frankly, I don't see why a non violent protest in this manner should be anything but acceptable. Certainly not something one should get sent to prison for.
Being disrespectful is constitutionally protected speech.
Edit: In the US that is, Germans of course have their crazy ass laws about offensive speech being illegal.

In 2010, Apple’s Steve Jobs welcomed the post-PC era when it introduced the iPad.
Now in 2017, PCs are still around and on their way to recovery, while slate-style tablets are struggling. Apple remains the top tablet seller, but its shipments are diving, and Android tablets aren’t as hot as they used to be.
Unlike its heyday, tablets aren’t expected to be huge presence at this year’s Mobile World Congress show in Barcelona. Lenovo and Samsung are launching some Android tablets, but more attention is being heaped on Windows 10 2-in-1 PCs that can be tablets and laptops.
Where Android has faltered, Windows is now taking over. Many people are replacing tablets with multipurpose Windows 2-in-1 PCs.
Phablets are also taking over for tablets, especially in Asian countries.
Many device makers are cutting Android tablet offerings. Dell has dropped Android tablets, while other PC makers like HP, Acer and Asus have fewer Android offerings than previous years. The PC makers are instead pushing out higher-priced Windows 10 2-in-1s.
Over the last five years, analyst firms made bold predictions that tablets would overtake PC shipments, but that hasn’t happened. In 2014, Gartner predicted that tablet shipments would overtake PC shipments in 2015.
According to IDC, tablet shipments in 2016 totaled 174 million units, declining by 15.6 percent compared to 2015. Apple’s iPad woes continued, with unit shipments totaling 42.6 million units, a decline of 14.2 percent. Second-placed Samsung shipped 20.6 million units, declining by 20.5 million units,
A price battle also brought the value of tablets down. Low-cost tablets from Amazon, Lenovo and little-known Chinese brands can be purchased for under $200.
Lenovo is one of the few companies that is growing in tablets. Its tablet shipments in 2016 totaled 3.7 million, declining by 1.8 percent, but grew in the fourth quarter of last year by 14.8 percent. Tablet shipments are growing fast, said Yuan Yuanqing, CEO of Lenovo, during an earnings call this month.
At MWC, the company introduced new Tab 4 Android tablets with 8- and 10-inch screens for entertainment. But headlining Lenovo’s product launches are three Windows 2-in-1s—the Miix 320 with a detachable screen and the Yoga 720 and 520, which keyboard attachments to the base.
Wholesale changes are needed in Android tablets, and it needs to re-evolve to fit modern computing needs, said Jeff Meredith, vice president and general manager for the Android and Chrome Computing Business Group at Lenovo.
“We’re facing a product that needs to redefine itself in an environment in which its core advantages are being squeezed in from” 2-in-1s and phablets, Meredith said.
Meredith’s actively pushing a rethinking of its tablet lines. For example, its Yoga Book device—which comes with Android or Windows— offers a second screen that can be used as a virtual keyboard or panel on which to write or draw.
One innovative feature in Android tablets could be Google’s Tango, an augmented reality platform that Lenovo has put on its Phab 2 Pro smartphone. Meredith declined to comment on whether it would put Tango in Android tablets.

The Federal Trade Commission has named Jan. 13-17, 2014, Tax Identity Theft Awareness Week. The FTC will host national and regional events designed to raise awareness about tax identity theft and provide consumers with tips on how to protect themselves, and what to do if they become victims.
Accounting for more than 43 percent of the Commission’s identity theft complaints in 2012, tax identity theft was the largest category of identity theft complaints by a substantial margin. In addition, the percentage of tax ID theft complaints nearly doubled, from just over 24 percent in 2011.
“Tax identity theft is a significant and growing issue,” said Jessica Rich, Director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection. “It’s critical that we make sure consumers are aware of how they can prevent it, and if they are victimized, what steps they can take to recover as quickly as possible.”
Events planned for the week include webinars led by FTC staff in both English and Spanish, a bilingual Twitter chat hosted by @FTC and @laFTC, and a series of regional events hosted by the FTC throughout the country with a focus on states with the highest number of tax identity theft complaints.
In addition to the FTC-hosted events, the FTC has created an array of materials for use by local and state law enforcement agencies, consumer advocates and others in creating events of their own or providing information to consumers on how to prevent, recognize and respond to tax id theft.
A schedule of events is available on the Tax Identity Theft Awareness Week webpage, along with links to planning materials and helpful information for consumers.
The Federal Trade Commission works for consumers to prevent fraudulent, deceptive, and unfair business practices and to provide information to help spot, stop, and avoid them. To file a complaint in English or Spanish, visit the FTC’s online Complaint Assistant or call 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357). The FTC enters complaints into Consumer Sentinel, a secure, online database available to more than 2,000 civil and criminal law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and abroad. The FTC’s website provides free information on a variety of consumer topics. Like the FTC on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, and subscribe to press releases for the latest FTC news and resources.

Dtex Systems, a workforce cyber intelligence and security company, has launched a Global Partner Program for MSSPs, MSPs, VARs and technology consultants.
The program is designed to increase the value of a customer’s existing cybersecurity investment, Dtex said. It allows partners to use Dtex’s insider threat and zero trust data loss prevention (DLP) solutions in conjunction with their current security offerings. It also provides access to technical experts who can analyze insider risk programs and design solutions to help its partners keep pace with customers’ security requirements.
How Dtex’s Global Partner Program Works
Partners can use Dtex’s insider threat solution to correlate insider threat vectors across their IT environments, the company noted. The solution also provides context and intelligence related to potential insider threats, compromised account events or data loss scenarios.
Meanwhile, Dtex’s zero trust DLP solution lets partners protect an organization’s data and intellectual property, the company stated. To do so, the solution blocks specific application processes and network connections that are not part of an organization’s normal or approved workflows.
Dtex remains committed to achieving “100% channel participation on every deal,” said Brian Stoner, the company’s VP of worldwide channel and alliances. The Global Partner Program accelerates the company’s mission to help organizations understand their security risk posture and develop insider threat management programs without infringing on employee privacy.
Dtex will continue to explore ways to support its partners and enhance its Global Partner Program.

blockchain exists for ever, what if encryption is broken smeday. From wiki:
AES has a fairly simple algebraic description. In 2002, a theoretical attack, termed the "XSL attack", was announced by Nicolas Courtois and Josef Pieprzyk, purporting to show a weakness in the AES algorithm due to its simple description. Since then, other papers have shown that the attack as originally presented is unworkable; see XSL attack on block ciphers.
On July 1, 2009, Bruce Schneier blogged about a related-key attack on the 192-bit and 256-bit versions of AES, discovered by Alex Biryukov and Dmitry Khovratovich, which exploits AES's somewhat simple key schedule and has a complexity of 2119. Another attack was blogged by Bruce Schneier on July 30, 2009 and released as a preprint on August 3, 2009. This new attack, by Alex Biryukov, Orr Dunkelman, Nathan Keller, Dmitry Khovratovich, and Adi Shamir, is against AES-256 that uses only two related keys and 239 time to recover the complete 256-bit key of a 9-round version, or 245 time for a 10-round version with a stronger type of related subkey attack, or 270 time for an 11-round version. From wiki:
Unlikely. Nxt Crypto (curve25519) will be broken long before AES is broken, which I believe will never be broken -- not just in our lifetime but even after that.
In December 2009 it was improved to 299.5. This is a follow-up to an attack discovered earlier in 2009 by Alex Biryukov, Dmitry Khovratovich, and Ivica Nikolić, with a complexity of 296 for one out of every 235 keys.
See "Related-key". No one should implement encryption where related (very similar keys) are used to encrypt terabytes of data. This attack only works with incorrect implementation.
Quote
256-bit AES uses 14 rounds, so these attacks aren't effective against full AES.
Related keys and reduced rounds of AES. So this attack doesn't work either correct AES implementation.
The first key-recovery attacks on full AES were due to Andrey Bogdanov, Dmitry Khovratovich, and Christian Rechberger, and were published in 2011. The attack is a biclique attack and is faster than brute force by a factor of about four. It requires 2^126.1 operations to recover an AES-128 key. For AES-192 and AES-256, 2^189.7 and 2^254.4 operations are needed, respectively.
This is the only real attack against full AES but there are serious problems: 2^126, 2^189.7 , and 2^254.4 are all in the safe zone. The attack has data complexity 2^88 bits, so the attacker not only needs 300 trillion terabyte of hard drive, but given hard drive access is slower, the attack despite requiring slightly lower operations might be slower than brute force.
So after 15 years of cryptanalysis there are actually zero attacks that are faster than brute force in practice.

Months of working long days when work and home life overlap is burning out remote workers – and endangering the companies they work for, multiple studies show.
To address this, Microsoft is building optional mindfulness features into its Teams software to help work-from-home employees mark the beginning and end of their day and “stress less, focus more.”
In a survey of 6,000 users of Microsoft Teams, the software giant found that 30% feel more burned out due to COVID-19, and a third feel stressed because of a lack of separation between home and work. In one telling stat that may explain some of this burnout, after-hours chat messages to employees are up 69% during the pandemic and weekend chat messages have increased 200%, the company found.
“It feels like work is continuing all the time as I’m more and more getting wrapped up into this ‘always on’ work culture now than ever before,” one Microsoft employee is quoted by the company as saying early on in the pandemic.
And stressed employees mean at-risk workplaces, experts say.
Experts say burnout has a direct result on cybersecurity. “Understanding how stress impacts behavior is critical to improving cybersecurity,” wrote Jeff Hancock, a professor at Stanford University in research on remote work burnout done with the email security company Tessian. “The events of 2020 have meant that people have had to deal with incredibly stressful situations,” Hancock wrote in the report. “Hackers prey on this vulnerability.”
The cybersecurity company Exabeam found in a survey of 1,000 cybersecurity professionals that “distractions at home lead to mistakes,” which is particularly dangerous now, as cyber attacks on US enterprises are up 88% during the pandemic. And Japanese telecom giant NTT found in new research that two-thirds of the 1,350 employees polled said it was harder to identify cybersecurity problems remotely.
Microsoft believes it has found a winning solution with the built-in mindfulness exercises in its Teams workplace software. Some Microsoft executives are quite enthusiastic about the program.
“Mindfulness and well-being are something we are seeking during these times,” said one executive. “Now it’s imperative.” That wasn’t a human resources executive. It was CEO Satya Nadella in a video in early October. “Helping people reduce stress and practice mindfulness in the context of everyday work is something that we are very passionate about,” the head of the company said.
Microsoft’s cybersecurity leaders share the enthusiasm for mindfulness. “This tumultuous year has brought challenges across every facet of daily life, including mindfulness,” says Vasu Jakkal, a vice president of security, compliance and identity. “When you don’t feel safe digitally it can impact your well-being further. Digital safety is directly tied to your mindfulness.”
Leading Microsoft’s mindfulness program is 15-year company veteran Kamal Janardham, general manager of Microsoft Workplace Intelligence. “With the current pandemic, with the way the world is, the boundaries between work and home have become so blurry that all the traditional ways people created boundaries have actually gone away,” she says. “We’re …read more

Organizations face risks all the time. Some are known whilst others come to the front only when they hit the organization. It is therefore important to protect the long-term stability of the organization by understanding the risks it faces.
Further individuals have their own definitions and framework making it difficult to deploy it effectively within the organization. ISO 31000 provides the option to have a common understanding of risks and the risk management framework.
ISO 31000 isn’t a certifiable standard, but provides organizations with principles, framework and a process for managing their risks. It can be used regardless of the type of industry or the size of the organization. It can also be used to compare risk management processes within organizations to benchmark.
Through case studies and workshops the participants will be able to acquire the necessary knowledge and understanding of the standard for implementation within their own organization and the expected benefits.
The UAE IAA reserves the right to amend the Terms & Conditions at any time without prior notice.
While the UAE Internal Audit Association and its staff make every effort to observe and maintain the schedule of every training course as set forth in the organization’s training schedule, under certain circumstances that are out of our control we might feel obligated to cancel and/or reschedule any training course or event. Under these circumstances, our training department will forward all registrants to the next available schedule for the same course.

Tracking customers has always been a challenge, but the challenge has been made even more difficult in recent years thanks to an increasing focus on data privacy and new regulations such as the European Union’s GDPR.
The good news is that there’s an alternative. The industry is increasingly turning to cookieless analytics and attribution platforms. The idea is to sidestep the challenges of using cookies to store first and third party data, especially as cookies are slowly phased out.
The big challenge that marketers will face in the brave new world of cookieless data is that they’ll need a web analytics solution that allows them to track cross-platform and cross-device without the use of cookies. It’s a big change, but that doesn’t mean it’s insurmountable.
The deprecation of cookies
As cookieless tracking becomes more commonplace, enterprise marketing teams will need to switch to cookieless analytics and attribution platforms if they hope to continue business as usual, whatever that may be.
Simply put, you’ll face the challenge of creating a personalised user experience without the use of third party cookies that show you what a user is looking at and searching for. Luckily, there are new platforms on the market, such as Metricsflow. Using proprietary AI technology, Metricsflow attaches a unique digital DNA identifier to a visitor from the first point of contact.
Through the simple integration of seven lines of JavaScript, B2B marketers can quickly and easily provide personalised content and services without the need for cookies. In our case, we collect over 40 different data points on users while protecting their privacy online. We will never show that user’s identity unless the user decides to share their Personally Identifiable Information (PII) with the company. And we will never share or sell that user’s information with third parties.
The goal remains similar to what it always has been: to understand the full prospect journey pre and post conversion. As part of this, marketers need to update their martech stack to adopt cookieless data analytics solutions now, before it’s too late. It’s all about future-proofing yourself and making sure that you’re ready for the change that’s coming.
In particular, it’s important to remember that your web analytics tool needs to track customers across multiple different devices. Web users today are accessing your content across any number of devices throughout the run of a day. By tracking across devices, marketers get full attribution that mirrors the user journey.
By focusing on first party data, you can provide more customised services and information, right down to the type of content that you present to them in your blog or through your email marketing. It’s difficult to do this without using cookies, but not impossible – and the next generation of B2B marketing attribution software is already on hand to help you.
In an age without cookies, there’s no excuse for marketers to forget the basics. Inbound marketing, personalisation and other best practices will still be equally valid, even when cookies are deader than the dodo.
About Metricsflow
Metricsflow is a cookieless analytics and cookieless attribution platform that’s designed to help enterprise B2B marketers to track their visitors across all campaigns and channels. Providing a 360 degree view of all accounts and users, it’s fully compliant with data privacy laws and best practices and avoids sharing or selling data to third parties and ad networks.
Available on the Salesforce AppExchange, MetricsFlow provides 100% of visitor data (where most companies lose 40-70% through cookies) and breaks it down into actionable, easy to understand insights right there inside your CRM. Visit our website to find out more.
Million-dollar fines for a security breach? What your company can do to make sure it’s not the next cautionary tale.
Switching to a cookie-less solution also helps you to future proof yourself by being one step ahead of the rest of the market. Studies like the DLA Piper GDPR Fines and Data Breach Survey show the direction that the market (and the world) is moving, and it’s a solid sign that the deprecation of cookies will continue in the months and years to come.
