CXOInsights by CXOCIETYPodchats for FutureCIO: Addressing app vulnerabilities in the cloudWhat do firewalls, intrusion detection systems (IDSs), virtual private networks (VPNs), and network traffic encryption and authentication have in common?They are network security measures designed to protect the enterprise’s perimeter from external attacks.What they do not do is protect an organisation from vulnerabilities from within like poorly designed business applications. As organisations accelerate the migration of workloads to the cloud, CIOs and CISOs will need to work in tandem with the development team to enhance web application security.In PodChats for FutureCIO, we look to address app vulnerabilities in the cl...2021-02-2213 min

Nurture.TeamHow to retain culture in a hyper growth phase?How to retain the culture of the company during Hyper growth phase. When a company goes through high growth spurts, we hear this a lot - “When we were small, we had a great culture. But it’s all lost now. Our culture has changed. It doesn’t feel like the way it use to”. Right? I bet some of us have been part of this journey and have felt the same - or perhaps you could have heard this from the early employees.

Head In The CloudLet’s Talk About IDSs!Taking a look at IDSs, what they are, how they work and how they relate to cloud security.
In this week's podcast I take a look at Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs), what they are, what they do, how they work and how they fit into a cloud security model. I went a bit long on this one but I think it's necessary given the breadth of this topic.

Berkman Klein Center for Internet & SocietyJoi Ito and Iyad Rahwan on AI & SocietyAI technologies have the potential to vastly enhance the performance of many systems and institutions, from making transportation safer, to enhancing the accuracy of medical diagnosis, to improving the efficiency of food safety inspections. However, AI systems can also create moral hazards, by potentially diminishing human accountability, perpetuating biases that are inherent to the AI's training data, or optimizing for one performance measure at the expense of others. These challenges require new kinds of "user interfaces" between machines and society. We will explore these issues, and how they would interface with existing institutions.

Black Hat Briefings, Las Vegas 2006 [Audio] Presentations from the security conferenceEmmanuele Zambon: "NIDS, false positive reduction through anomaly
detection""The Achilles' heel of network IDSs lies in the large number of false positives (i.e., false attacks) that occur: practitioners as well as researchers observe that it is common for a NIDS to raise thousands of mostly false alerts per day. False positives are a universal problem as they affect both signature-based and anomaly-based IDSs. Finally, attackers can overload IT personnel by forging ad-hoc packets to produce false alerts, thereby lowering the defences of the IT infrastructure.

CERIAS Weekly Security Seminar - Purdue UniversityWenke Lee, Developing Data Mining Techniques for Intrusion Detection: A Progress Report Intrusion detection (ID) is an important component of infrastructure protection mechanisms. Intrusion detection systems (IDSs) need to be accurate, adaptive, extensible, and cost-effective. These requirements are very challenging because of the complexities of today's network environments and the lack of IDS development tools. Our research aims to systematically improve the development process of IDSs.
In the first half of the talk, I will describe our data mining framework for constructing ID models. This framework mines activity patterns from system audit data and extracts predictive features from the patterns. It then applies machine learning algorithms to the audit records, which...2000-10-111h 00
