The defence sector must be armed with the right skills
9 min read | Andy Pearson | Article | | Skills shortages
‘A matter of life and death’ is not a phrase typically associated with skills shortages – but in this case, the stakes have rarely been higher. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and increasingly incendiary conflicts in the Middle East have driven military spending to the top of government agendas across the world. These growing geopolitical tensions are a troubling reminder of the need for sturdy defence provisions, but we continue to face a shortage of the skills needed to build them.
The UK defence sector grew by an astonishing 36% between 2013 and 2023, and last year generated over £28bn in turnover – driven mainly by exports and MOD spend. While it remains a key driver of prosperity, there are numerous impediments to its future growth trajectory, with an increase in competition, global security threats and accelerating technological development among these. Found at the heart of all these challenges, though, is the biggest threat of all – a lack of the people and skills we need both to match the momentum of growth in defence, and shore up the safety and security of our country.
There are a number of reasons for the present scarcity of expertise needed to support the UK’s defence sector. An industry transformed, the skillsets it would have needed twenty years ago bear little resemblance to those required now. Artificial intelligence, software development, robotics, and cyber security are now fully-fledged disciplines blazing a trail of versatile and continuously-evolving career paths across the engineering, technology, and data analytics professions – all of which are critical to and prolific in defence – but the number of people ready to pursue them is lacking.
It's clear that swift action is required to secure a pipeline of highly-skilled professionals with the technical expertise needed to fill the increasing number of vacancies in this sector – with areas such as aerospace engineering, systems engineering and advanced manufacturing seeing particularly high demand. So, what can be done to arm defence with the right skills?
Defence has historically faced an array of recruitment challenges, with stringent security clearances creating significant barriers to entry and shrinking the pool of available candidates. But perceptions of the sector are also an issue – and one for STEM careers in general. Often seen as inaccessible and only for the ‘clever few’, it’s clear that more needs to be done to highlight the opportunity these roles present and the impact that you can make in them.
For many, a career in defence engineering paints a picture of complex equations and solitary work on abstract projects that seem to have little connection to our everyday lives. It’s essential that we combat this myth, and champion the purposeful contribution that defence makes to society as a whole. Protecting our citizens, fuelling technological innovation, creating employment, and driving our green agenda are just a few of the ways in which the sector provides immense social value.
Despite the high-value career paths that they unlock, maths, science, engineering and technology continue to struggle when it comes to securing the levels of student engagement needed. The enduring perception of them as overly difficult, uninspiring, and lacking in inclusivity is difficult to dispel, but the escalating demand for professionals with finely-honed technical skillsets means that encouraging take up at school level and beyond is essential.
Improving the popularity of STEM pathways is naturally dependent on the collaborative efforts of government, industry and the education sector, but arguably the most important point of emphasis should be that these subjects require qualities in their students – other than technical understanding – that many would not immediately equate with STEM, but might recognise in themselves. An aptitude for problem solving, creative ideation, and clear and authentic communication, for example, are essential not only to academic success, but future career success, being traits that empower people to apply their technical knowledge to real-world problems. If we are to broaden the appeal of STEM subjects, depicting them in this holistic light will be vital.
The growing gap between training provisions and the skills businesses really need is not only impacting our present, but posing a threat to our future – and defence is one of the industries most under siege. This does not just apply to emerging, future-focused skillsets, but legacy ones that are not being taught to or studied by enough people, with examples including software languages like C or C++, hardware skills such as FPGA or PCB design, and core engineering skills like systems design, electrical design, and mechanical design. It’s clear that a long-term workforce strategy has yet to be fully realised, and further investment in training and education, earlier integration with industry requirements, and the promotion of competitive remuneration in defence is needed.
“The growing gap between training provisions and the skills businesses really need is not only impacting our present, but posing a threat to our future – and defence is one of the industries most under siege.”
Though the Apprenticeship Levy has – to some extent – helped give businesses the resources and autonomy to grow talent from within, many of the “earn and learn” options currently available to defence employers, such as bootcamps, apprenticeships, and graduate schemes, aren’t necessarily equipping candidates with the skills they need to hit the ground running from day one. This is where flexi-job apprenticeship agencies like Skills and Learning can help – creating paid job opportunities through custom-designed academies, and training individuals with the specific and dynamic skillsets you require.
A career in defence engineering requires a combination of technical acumen, a logical mindset, and willingness to collaborate. If an individual from a compatible adjacent industry demonstrates the attitude, values, and transferable skills that would make them a strong candidate for a role you’re looking to fill – even if that isn’t directly where their background lies – could you consider giving them the opportunity to make a sideways move? This is a route that’s arguably being made smoother by the rise of new, cross-functional technologies, which are leading to closer collaboration between sectors and a wider pool of shared knowledge.
While the nature of the defence industry means that many roles will require candidates with specific skills, knowledge, and experience, it’s worth considering whether there are certain areas in which you can demonstrate flexibility.

Overview : Let's Get Boring!
Stability represents a pioneering approach in public blockchains by operating without the need for tokens to facilitate transactions. This is achieved through our innovative validator system. Traditional blockchains rely on consensus mechanisms like Proof of Work (PoW) or Proof of Stake (PoS). In contrast, Stability introduces a novel consensus mechanism known as Proof of Reputation (PoR). This mechanism involves onboarding trusted entities to serve as validators.
Portal: Private RPCs to Submit Transactions
To submit transactions to Stability, a user must register through our Stability's Account Manager portal. Users begin by obtaining an API Key to unlock a private RPC. This RPC is allocated a certain number of credits, effectively determining the number of transactions a user can submit. To submit a transaction, a user consumes credits from their private RPC allotment. Using Stability's Account Manager portal, users can monitor their credit usage and obtain additional credits as needed, allowing for continuous and uninterrupted interaction with the network. Instructions for setting up an account and obtaining your own free RPC are available in the User Section.
Sequencing: How Stability Prepares Submitted Transactions
In conventional blockchain systems, transactions are broadcast to a public mempool, where validators and miners select transactions to compile into a new block. Typically, these actors prioritize transactions offering higher fees, as these are more profitable to validate and mine.
Stability Protocol adopts a different approach to transaction sequencing. Our network only considers the chronological order of transaction submissions. This method ensures a fairer and more predictable processing time, as transactions are mined based on their submission time rather than their associated gas fees. As a result, users experience a more consistent and equitable transaction processing environment, with transactions typically being processed within a remarkably short timeframe of 2 seconds.
Furthermore, this sequencing mechanism ensures all transactions are private until they have been mined. Versus the public mempool of conventional blockchains, the mempool on Stability is private. The details of a transaction are not known until they have been finalized on our network.
The network's infrastructure is robust, capable of handling approximately 10,000 transactions per second (TPS). This high throughput is indicative of the network's efficiency and scalability. The underlying architecture and technology enable the Stability Protocol to maintain high performance while offering the potential for further scalability. This scalability is crucial for accommodating an increasing volume of transactions as the network grows, ensuring that the system remains efficient and responsive even under heavy loads.
Validators: Achieving Consensus
Stability has created a novel consensus mechanism to facilitate our feeless blockchain.
Aura: Block Creation
Aura is a slot-based, round-robin mechanism for block creation, performed by a predefined set of validator nodes. In this system, time is divided into distinct slots, and each slot is assigned to a specific validator. This ensures a predictable and fair block creation process, as each validator knows in advance when it will be their turn to create a block. The round-robin nature of Aura ensures that the opportunity to create blocks is evenly distributed among all validators, enhancing the decentralization and fairness of the process.
GRANDPA: Block Finality
Grandpa stands for GHOST-based Recursive Ancestor Deriving Prefix Agreement. It is a deterministic finality algorithm that employs the longest chain rule, necessitating a known, weighted set of validator nodes. GRANDPA is designed to work in tandem with a block production mechanism like Aura. It provides finality to blocks, meaning that once a block is deemed final by GRANDPA, it cannot be reverted, ensuring the integrity and continuity of the blockchain. In other words, GRANDPA's determination of the correct block is final. The combination of GRANDPA with a block production mechanism ensures both efficient block creation and robust finality, contributing to the overall security and stability of the blockchain.
Together, Aura and GRANDPA form the backbone of the Stability Protocol's consensus mechanism, ensuring a highly secure and efficient blockchain.

Signal and protests
Every time that protests break out somewhere in the world, very similar discussions about the Signal application on mobile phones break out. These discussions are based on some people giving recommendations, and other people spreading reports about things they have heard or experienced. I wanted to write down a few notes about these things to have it in one simple place. Basically, this post will cover whether Signal is safe for use at protests and if so, how to do it. It will also cover some of the more common objects, and finally there are some notes about the concept of mobile phones in general, and whether they are appropriate in a protest setting.
There are a few things I will not specify in this post - I am talking about protests in general. Who the target of those protests are is not relevant for this discussion, but in order to understand your threats properly, you do have to think about the adversaries and their resources. In this post, I will talk about adversaries in general, and assume that they have as much resources as imaginable. In some cases I might qualify discussions around adversary power.
As with everything related to security, having a proper threat model is crucial. And when participating or organizing a protest, this is extremely important. There are many things that can go wrong, and I can't overstress how important it is to think about all aspects.
That said, let's jump into it.
What is Signal
Signal is primarily a messaging application that runs on mobile devices. It allows you to send text messages, voice messages, make phone calls and video calls. It also supports groups. All of these methods are always encrypted, using the same protocol as the basis for communication. It is not possible to send unencrypted data using Signal. Further, the Signal application is open source, which means that anyone who wants to, can inspect the source code implementing the application.
Signal currently requires you to use a phone number to activate its service, and phone numbers is also the primary means of connecting to new people.
There are in fact many mobile applications that are in roughly the same space. Among these are Wire, Wickr, WhatsApp, iMessage, Telegram and many more. What sets Signal apart is the focus on open source, the quality of the cryptographic protocols and implementation, and the singular focus on security. For these reasons, Signal has become the recommended application of choice for security conscious individuals.
Common questions, ideas and misconceptions about Signal
You will hear many different ideas and theories about Signal. These have a tendency to spread wildly, and it quickly becomes hard to judge where a story originated, and whether there's any basis for it at all. There are a lot of rumours out there. Two of the most common ones are that Signal has been compromised and is not safe, and that if you use Signal, you are safe. The second one is certainly not true, but I'll come back to that in a while. The first one is a bit more complicated to answer. So, let's do a deep dive into what Signal being compromised would mean. Note that I am not considering any alternatives that are outside of the control of Signal for this discussion - I'll cover those problems later in this article.
Technically, there are really four different ways you could argue that Signal is compromised. The first one is that there is a problem with the Signal protocol, and an outside party could use this weakness in order to gain access to information they shouldn't have access to. The second alternative is that there is a bug in the implementation of the application. If this happened, it could lead to for example the protocol not being as strong as it should be, but it could also lead to a weakness where someone could exploit the application and get it to reveal data or run unwanted code. The third alternative is that there exists a backdoor in the implementation. In practice, this case is very similar to the previous case, and has the same consequences. Finally, the fourth vulnerability is that someone has access to the servers used, and that this access reveals useful information to an adversary. Let's go through these and look at the implications and likelihood of each one:
Now, about the fourth vulnerability. For getting to the content of the messages, there are a few ways this could happen - one is that the protocol doesn't do what it's supposed to do, and what we think it does. In that case, that would strictly be the first vulnerability. Having access to the servers would make things easier, but it wouldn't be sufficient to exploit this vulnerability. Another way would be if there is a way for the server to change the public keys for a person. However, if that were to happen only from the server side, then there would be notifications to contacts about the change in public key. The only way that this could be achieved would be if there was a mistake or a back door in the implementation that allowed the server to bypass this warning. So for this possibility, either vulnerability two or three are actually the real vulnerability. Finally, it is possible that having access to the server can allow an adversary to track meta data - such as who you talk to, who your contacts are, when you talk to someone, and so on. But once again, the current implementation tries to shield this information. So if it's possible to get it, that would require a weakness in the implementation or the protocols. Basically, as far as I can tell, having access to the servers doesn't actually give you very much on its own, so we can discount it for now.
What about problems with the protocols? The core Signal protocol, which includes the key exchange and the double ratchet algorithm for deciding how to create the initial connection between two Signal instances, and how to generate the keys moving forward, has received a significant amount of analysis. And while the protocol is (as always in security) a compromise between security, efficiency and simplicity, no one has been able to find any serious problems with it - certainly not the kind of break that would allow an adversary to intercept, read or send messages and have them look real to the other party. The key exchange doesn't provide as strong deniability properties as I would like, for example - but that doesn't imply anything for the security of the core protocol. The primitives used, and the composition of them, is fairly straightforward and is generally well regarded by cryptographers.
And what about the other protocols used, then? Well, the group protocol is really just an extension of the one-to-one protocol. Once again, some security properties are not there, or not as strong as I would like, but fundamentally, there doesn't seem to be a way to break it without breaking the one-to-one protocol. However, this protocol has not received as much attention as the core protocols.
The protocols used for contact discovery are a bit more unclear and haven't received as much research either. So, in the worst case, it could be possible that metadata about contacts could be accessed by an adversary, although even this is very unlikely.
What about backdoors or bugs in the implementation? To answer this, we first need to look at how Signal is delivered to end users. Most people will install the application from either Google or Apple. While the application itself is open source, and anyone can read the implementation, there exists no good way to verify that what you install on your phone is actually the same source as what exists in the source code repositories. Thus, it would be possible for someone to insert a backdoor in the process of publishing, that wouldn't be possible to identify from the source. This could be the original application creators or it could be Google or Apple. When it comes to unintentional implementation bugs, that is always a danger and always a possibility. However, since the protocol is fairly simple, the people that implement it are experienced and good at what they do, and many people have looked at the source, it's less likely that a serious implementation bug exists in the source. And if it did, an adversary would like to have to use targeted exploitation in order to have any use for it.
Because of all the above reasons, I would argue that Signal is probably safe enough. It is my opinion that it is, on average, better than the alternatives. And while we can never exclude some of the possibilities above, they are also possibilities for all other messaging applications, and those have additional risks associated with them.
There are two weaknesses in Signal that I do find uncomfortable - the first one is the reliance on phone numbers for activation, and the second is the centralization of services used for it. But even with these problems, I still find Signal safer than the alternatives.
So why do these stories keep cropping up - these stories that say Signal is compromised, or that one of their friends were busted because of using Signal, or any of the other variations? Well, it happens for a few different reasons. First, because Signal is currently the best option, it receives more negative attention as a consequence. It is also a fact that there are many interests around the world that want to make people less comfortable with encrypted applications, and want us to move to alternatives that are easier to control.
But the most common reason why these stories keep coming up - in my opinion - is because people are generally extremely bad at root cause analysis. They see something going wrong, and they associate it with Signal. But there are many ways that a situation can go bad, and Signal being compromised is only one of many alternatives. Other alternatives include the presence of infiltrators in your group, hacking into your phone in some other way, someone in your group talking over other channels or leaking information by mistake, or even good guesses from the adversary based on GPS or other more general information. All of these alternatives will almost always be significantly more likely than Signal being compromised. An adversary will usually not try to crack good encryption - they will try to go around it.
So, for anything you do, please stop worrying about Signal as the weak link in your security. For almost all cases, it will not be a problem - many other things are more important to prioritize first. Threat model your situation and think about it holistically. But also, see the next section.
Mobile phones at protests
While Signal is really almost as secure as you can make a messaging application for a mobile phone, there is still a very big caveat in this discussion - and that is the mobile phone itself. In many ways, a mobile phone is not a safe environment to run secure applications on, and Signal can only be as secure as the surrounding environment.
Should you really bring your phone with you to a protest? This is a complicated question. Purely from the perspective of security, it's usually not a good idea. However, not bringing a phone is also not sustainable in many ways - you will end up needing to communicate with your friends and contacts, you might need to film or photograph violence or police actions and so on. But it's definitely true that having a phone will increase your risk.
Now, I was planning on writing a longer section here on what to think about with regards to phones and protests, but Micah Lee at The Intercept already did something quite similar while I was writing this, so take a look at his article here: https://theintercept.com/2020/06/15/protest-tech-safety-burner-phone/ - it doesn't cover everything about how to stay anonymous, but it contains a lot of useful information to think about, especially from a US perspective.
As always with security, it's a trade off. You have to think carefully about the alternatives and possibilities, and then make choices based on this.

Exploring sweet spots between convenience and security
We regularly work on projects that explore new potential applications of smart tech. Usually there is already an explicit sense of potential, for enhanced convenience in people’s daily lives. But also a more unclear and implicit awareness of the need for sensitivity, towards consequences for people’s privacy and security. This means that exploratory and deep conversations with future users are important. With these insights you can develop a good understanding of the dilemmas around this particular technology from a user’s perspective. The foundational insights on these dilemmas help to shape evolving decisions on strategy and concept development.
Some of the recent projects we worked on in this respect, were looking into applying smart technology embedded in house appliances. And in places that are traditionally less usual for the use of electronic devices, such as bathrooms, toilets, dressing rooms, etc. The challenge in these projects is to inform the participants just enough to make them aware that it might be possible to have embedded smart tech functionalities available in these places. While also keeping the conversations open enough to let them ponder any aspects that may interest or concern them. These exploratory conversations can take place in various stages of the development process.
Iterative conversations to gradually gain a deep understanding
For a recent project with an international client, STBY was asked to conduct research activities with potential future users. Research in every stage of the process of exploring and developing new embedded smart tech services: the foundational exploration stage, the concept development stage, and the final design stage.
In every stage we used different methods to elicit the type of user feedback that could inform the decisions at hand. For instance, in the exploration stage we conducted in-depth research through interviews and diary studies; In order to get a good grasp of what matters to people in their daily lives in respect to the topic at hand. In the concept stage we asked participants to consider specific elements of the potential future offering; By imagining that this could be part of their future daily lives, for themselves and other people in their social circle. In the final design stage we shared more detailed information about the potential offering, in some cases with real live prototypes, and asked participants for feedback on their personal likes and dislikes.
In each of these stages the focus points for the interaction with research participants were different, as were the granularity of the fieldwork prompts, and the research outcomes. In addition to the qualitative research activities in several countries (US, Japan and China), we also did a more large-scale international survey to validate the insights gained in previous rounds. The findings across the various countries revealed that many of the interests and concerns people have were fairly similar. Yes, they are attracted to the enhanced convenience, but they also want to be assured that their privacy and safety is taken care of. And they not only look at this from their personal perspective, they also consider the consequences for the people around them (family members, friends, visitors). They could point out quite specifically where they would draw a line in terms of the sweet spots on the dilemmas between convenience and security. Depending on the country where people live, they differ in how much they tend to expect that government regulation will be in place to help protect them.
Holistic and empathic information for strategic decisions
New smart tech can make some things in our daily lives more easy and convenient. But at the same time the embedded sensors and underlying algorithms are capturing, processing and storing a lot of data, and that can have less positive consequences for its users. How to find the best balance between these ends of the scale? How to find the ‘sweet spot’? This is a dilemma not only for future users, but also for our clients who are considering integrating new smart tech in their products and services. They are aware that they need to consider both ends of the scale (convenience vs security), and they are interested in making better informed decisions about this by learning from potential future users. And this is what we can help them with through our design research.
This dilemma about finding the sweet spot between positive and negative consequences of new tech is obviously also a concern for us as design researchers to address in our work. It is important that we actively engage with these dilemmas, and not shy away from them. By explicitly addressing these dilemmas in our conversations with research participants we create an opportunity to openly explore these topics together with future users. We find it very interesting and gratifying that the insights from these explorations contribute to making sure that new development of smart tech progresses in a human-centred and meaningful direction.
The research for this project was conducted by STBY in close collaboration with the excellent design team from Edenspiekermann. We have collaborated on many projects over the past years, and it’s always a dream to experience how smoothly design research, concept design and business strategy can inform and inspire each other.
Finding the right sweet spot is as important to clients as it is to the users of smart tech

Jackdaw: Anatomy of a Ravencoin Main Asset
This article assumes you've read the Jackdaw Whitepaper and understand Jackdaw's basic tokenomics and goals.
Its often noted in the Jackdaw community that Jackdaw ($JDAW) has far fewer technical and social attack vectors than its token counter-parts on other blockchains. Selecting Ravencoin as Jackdaw's parent blockchain wasn't by accident, it came after years of observation and testing with Ravencoin and other blockchains.
Jackdaw isn't your standard cryptocurrency token, its a Ravencoin Asset! Ravencoin was purpose-built for Asset issuance and transfer, and a lot of thought and care went into this element of Ravencoin's design and the security required to maintain it. Jackdaw was issued in a way where it can showcase some of the advantages of Ravencoin Assets while maintaining a decentralized, minimalistic, cypherpunk ethos. This paper is intended to highlight some of the many advantages both Jackdaw and Ravencoin hold over other blockchain standards.
First we should explore some of Ravencoins design and history to understand the technology backing the Jackdaw token. Ravencoin was launched in January of 2018 as a purely Proof of Work blockchain specializing in Asset issuance and transfer. Ravencoin does not utilize coin staking mechanisms, such as masternodes or validators. Instead, miners spend real world energy to run the Raven network and produce new coins. These same miners spend energy confirming Jackdaw and other Ravencoin Asset transactions, making Ravencoin Assets true Layer 1 tokens. The advantages of PoW for security and immutability have been well discussed, so we'll skip that here in favor of discussing the core of this paper, the Ravencoin Asset.
Before we go any further, its highly recommended that you familiarize yourself with the "All About Assets" article on Ravencoin.org. This will help give you a basic unserstanding of Ravencoin Assets. Keep in mind, Jackdaw is a Ravencoin "Main Asset" token.
Now that you have a basic understanding of a "Ravencoin Asset" (interchangably called a "Ravencoin Token") and the different types that can be created, lets look at some of the clear advantages the Jackdaw token has.
Human Readable Unique Token Name:
Not a complex smart contract or address, Ravencoin Assets are like domain names for value. The Jackdaw token is simply called "JACKDAW" on the Ravencoin blockchain, no confusion possible, as each Ravencoin Asset name is unique. There will never be another token named "JACKDAW" on the Ravencoin blockchain, no need to check confusing contracts or addresses. This eliminates most common social attack vectors such as spoofing and fraud.
Transaction Memos, user-stored data:
Jackdaw Memos are immutably stored IPFS data that can be added to any Jackdaw transaction, just as they can be with any normal Ravencoin transaction. This allows users to effectively store any metadata they desire using the Jackdaw token by simply transacting. This could be used for records, messages, or any other metadata the user wishes to store using their Jackdaw.
UTXO Model, traceable from issuance:
Ravencoin Assets benefit from Ravencoins UTXO model. Jackdaw utilizes this model to present a fully auditable decentralized token, traceable back to its issuance. All Jackdaw transactions are visible and confirmed on the blockchain by miners, not handled by smart contracts which add and subtract coins. This means Ravencoin Assets are true Layer 1 tokens and benefit from the same base functionality as their parent blockchain.
Secure, audited code:
Ravencoin has passed a community funded independant security audit. Assets created on Ravencoin could not reside on a more secure, time and battle tested blockchain.

IT compliance identifies the process of adhering to established regulations, regulations, standards, and procedures that govern how information technology (IT) techniques and information are managed inside an organization. Compliance is a must for ensuring that businesses defend painful and sensitive knowledge, keep privacy, and work securely in a significantly complicated scientific landscape. With the increase of cyber threats and stringent information security rules, businesses should prioritize IT compliance to shield their data assets and maintain the trust of their clients, stakeholders, and regulatory bodies.
One of the most substantial individuals of IT conformity may be the growing landscape of data safety rules, such as the Normal Information Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe and the Wellness Insurance Flexibility and Accountability Behave (HIPAA) in the United States. These rules impose rigid needs on how companies acquire, keep, and process personal data. Non-compliance can lead to large fines and legal repercussions, which could seriously injury an organization’s status and economic stability. As a result, organizations must purchase IT submission programs that align with your regulatory requirements, ensuring that their IT infrastructure and methods are created to protect sensitive knowledge and react to any breaches effectively.
A powerful IT compliance program needs a robust framework which includes plans, procedures, and controls designed to the particular regulatory landscape in that the firm operates. That framework must encompass risk review, information classification, episode reaction, worker education, and typical audits. Risk assessments support recognize possible vulnerabilities and threats to the organization’s information, allowing IT clubs to implement correct protection measures. Data classification guarantees that sensitive and painful information is treated with the utmost care, while episode result plans outline the measures to get in the event of a knowledge breach, minimizing the potential impact on the corporation and its stakeholders.
In addition to regulatory submission, agencies must consider industry-specific standards, like the Cost Card Industry Information Protection Common (PCI DSS) for companies that manage credit card transactions. Staying with these requirements not just helps businesses avoid fines but in addition increases their standing and competitive gain in the market. Clients and companions are significantly scrutinizing their vendors’ compliance position, rendering it required for businesses to demonstrate their responsibility to knowledge safety and security. Reaching submission with these criteria might help construct confidence and foster long-term relationships with clients and business partners.
One of many challenges companies face in achieving and maintaining IT compliance may be the continually developing regulatory landscape. Regulations and rules are often current to address emerging threats and adjusting engineering, requiring agencies to stay educated and change their compliance techniques accordingly. This requires continuing teaching for IT team and critical stakeholders to make certain they realize the most recent conformity demands and most useful practices. Typical audits and assessments are also critical for assessing the potency of compliance initiatives and distinguishing places for improvement. By constantly monitoring their submission position, companies can proactively address any holes and lower the danger of non-compliance.
Yet another important aspect of IT compliance may be the position of engineering in facilitating compliance efforts. Agencies can power various tools and options, such as for example knowledge reduction prevention (DLP) systems, security systems, and conformity management computer software, to improve their submission processes. These technologies may automate projects such as for example data tracking, accessibility get a handle on, and confirming, letting IT groups to target on higher-level proper initiatives. Furthermore, sophisticated analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) might help businesses identify patterns and defects inside their knowledge, enabling them to find potential submission violations before they escalate.
The cost of non-compliance may be unbelievable, not just when it comes to economic penalties but additionally with regards to reputational damage. Businesses that experience information breaches or crash to meet submission requirements might face a loss in client trust and devotion, that may get years to rebuild. Also, the fallout from non-compliance can lead to improved scrutiny from regulatory bodies, resulting in extra audits and penalties. As a result, buying IT conformity must be viewed not merely as a regulatory duty but as a proper business decision that can enhance the organization’s overall chance management platform and working resilience.
To conclude, IT compliance is a vital element of contemporary business operations, helping as a foundation for defending sensitive and painful information and maintaining trust with stakeholders. Organizations should steer a sophisticated regulatory landscape while implementing powerful submission frameworks IT compliance tailored for their special needs. By buying robust IT compliance applications, leveraging technology, and fostering a culture of submission, organizations may mitigate dangers, increase their safety pose, and place themselves for long-term achievement in an significantly interconnected digital world.

We've started getting in the 9300-48UN switches that are several inches longer than the 48P switches we had been getting. (UN switches are UPoE and 5Gb/s, 48P switches are just gigabit PoE+). Now we're hitting rack limitations where a rack is 24" deep and the switch is 22.5" deep but there's not enough room for cable bundles in the back for the patch panels.
In some cases we can flip the ears around to get a few inches but some cases it then sticks out too far in the front and we can't close the rack.
What I'm looking for is to accommodate mounting in racks that are not enclosed, some kind of rack ears that move the mount point even further back so the switch sticks out quite a bit more in the front but has room in the back.
Honestly It would be nice if Cisco made sliding rails for the Catalyst switches where the distance could be adjusted but still use a 2 point mount.
If nothing else I might ask if our metal fab shop could custom make some rack ears for me out of sheet metal.

Blockchain technology has become a game-changer in the business world. While it first gained fame through cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, blockchain technology is now a versatile tool transforming industries from finance to healthcare and beyond. In this article, we’ll break down what blockchain is, why it’s important, and how it’s impacting different sectors. Whether you’re a tech enthusiast or simply curious about new innovations, this is for you.
What Is Blockchain Technology?
Think of blockchain as a digital ledger that’s distributed across multiple computers. Unlike traditional systems, where one central entity controls the data, blockchain is decentralized. Everyone on the network has access to the same information, and once a transaction is recorded, it can’t be altered.
Key features include:
- Decentralization: No single entity controls the data.
- Transparency: All participants in the network can view the same information.
- Immutability: Once data is added to the blockchain, it cannot be changed or deleted.
- Security: Cryptographic methods protect the data, making tampering almost impossible.
Blockchain is also being used for secure verification through blockchain digital credentials and blockchain digital certificates, which provide a tamper-proof way to validate academic degrees, professional certifications, and more.
Why Businesses Are Adopting Blockchain
1. Improved Supply Chain Management
Blockchain technology is helping businesses gain better visibility and control over their supply chains. Imagine knowing exactly where a product has been, from raw materials to the store shelf.
- End-to-end visibility: Track a product’s journey from start to finish.
- Authenticity verification: Use blockchain digital certificates to prove product origin and quality.
- Faster issue resolution: If something goes wrong, like a product recall, blockchain can help identify the problem quickly.
2. Faster and Cheaper Financial Transactions
Banking processes, especially international transfers, can be slow and expensive. Blockchain offers faster, more cost-effective solutions by cutting out the middleman.
Here’s how blockchain is transforming finance:
- Instant cross-border payments: Transactions that took days now take minutes.
- Fraud prevention: Blockchain’s security features make it difficult for hackers to manipulate transaction data.
- Blockchain digital credentials: Streamline loan approvals and identity verification.
3. Enhanced Customer Service with Blockchain
Let’s face it: Dealing with customer service can be a hassle. But blockchain is making things smoother by using smart contracts to automate repetitive tasks.
- Automated refunds: Refunds can be processed instantly through smart contracts without needing human intervention.
- Complaint resolution: Smart contracts automatically fulfill agreed-upon actions, saving time and reducing errors.
4. Healthcare: Secure, Efficient, and Accurate
In healthcare, privacy and accuracy are paramount. Blockchain helps by securely managing patient data and ensuring it can be accessed by authorized professionals only.
Key improvements include:
- Data privacy: Blockchain ensures medical records are secure and only accessible to those with permission.
- Blockchain digital certificates: Medical professionals can verify and share patient data securely.
- Supply chain tracking: Ensure medications and medical equipment are authentic and safely sourced.
5. Real Estate: Simplifying Transactions
Anyone who’s bought or sold property knows it can be a slow and painful process. Blockchain simplifies real estate transactions by automating much of the paperwork and ensuring transparency.
- Faster transactions: Smart contracts automatically handle the sale and transfer of property.
- Fraud prevention: Blockchain keeps a transparent record of ownership, reducing the risk of fraud.
- Secure property transfers: Property titles and deeds can be transferred securely without the need for intermediaries like brokers or lawyers.
6. Voting and Governance: Transparent and Secure Elections
Blockchain is being explored as a way to secure voting systems. With concerns about election security in recent years, blockchain offers a transparent and tamper-proof solution.
- Tamper-proof voting records: Votes recorded on a blockchain can’t be altered or deleted.
- Instant audits: Elections can be audited in real-time, increasing transparency and trust in the system.
The Future of Blockchain: A Perfect Match with Data Science
The future looks bright for blockchain, especially when combined with Data Science. Together, these technologies can help businesses make smarter decisions and safeguard their data.
Here’s why blockchain and Data Science are a powerful combo:
- Data accuracy: Blockchain ensures the data being analyzed by Data Science is tamper-proof, leading to more accurate insights.
- Fraud detection: By analyzing blockchain data, companies can spot patterns and anomalies to prevent fraud.
- Improved decision-making: With more accurate data, businesses can make better, data-driven decisions.
Blockchain technology is no longer just about cryptocurrencies—it’s shaping the future of business across multiple sectors. From blockchain digital certificates in supply chain management to blockchain security services in finance and healthcare, the technology is helping businesses become more transparent, efficient, and secure.
The combination of blockchain and Data Science offers endless opportunities for businesses to protect their data while using it for meaningful insights. As blockchain technology evolves, its adoption will continue to grow, offering new and exciting ways for businesses to innovate and stay competitive.
By embracing blockchain technology, companies can not only enhance their operations but also build stronger relationships with their customers in a world where security and transparency are becoming more critical every day.

What is JDownloader?
JDownloader is an extension for browser that can be installed by a user, but it can be installed with a freeware as well. It displays numerous promotional information in the form of irksome popping-up windows. Some users are not satisfied with its work or are astonished that it is in the system at all. So, JDownloader is one of the undesirable browser extensions that should be eliminated from thesystem.

Everyone should realize that all the programs for browsers including JDownloader, no matter if they are helpful, are the areas of weakness for a browser where they are installed. The browser vendors produce systematic updates, due to which the browser safety is perfect. The occurrence of any extension can put the browser security at stake. And, as a consequence, some internet criminals are able to use your PC or thieve your sensible info. If you cannot conceive your browser without browser extensions, then I suggest to download extensions from reliable software vendors only, possibly it will promote you to defend the PC. But you should know that it is better not to download any extensions at all.
It is important to be aware that any installed browser add-on has already got the permission to use your private information that you enter when fill in some forms on-line. This information, including your phone number, your name, electronic mail address, etc. Can be delivered to some advertising agencies. Be prudent downloading any browser add-ons and do not download them, if there is not a true need in it.
JDownloader, as a promotional extension, is more dangerous, because you cannot be confident that the advertising notification is real and that the web address that states in the announcement is safe. If you are eager to have JDownloader or any other add-on that shows you special deals then be ready that it is able to cheat you.
Damage Level |
(Potentially unwanted software) |
Data Theft | 0,01% |
System Failure | 0,0003% |
Manual Removal | 21 |
Removal From Browsers | 34% |
Removal with Free Antivirus | 42,1% |
Removal with SpyHunter | 98,5% |
Infected computers (USA) | 0,0004% |
Infected computers (Europe) | 0,0001% |
Browser Infection Probability | 52,2% |
JDownloader like all other adware software has some common symptoms that will help you to understand if your computer is infected with it or not. Here is the list of them:
- Many ads shown by JDownloader
- Very slow computer
- Antivirus software detects some computer infections
- Some changes in the browser (toolbars, homepage, search engine)
- Search results are redirected
- JDownloader creates its files, folders and registry entries
Manual and Automatic Removal Methods?
You should understand that manual ways of removal that remove JDownloader from browsers are absolutely secure and you can execute them not being afraid that you damage your computer. I should notice that the ways of removal are efficient, so you will succeed and the browser add-on will be eliminated with all its manifestations. It is an easy way of removal as well; it yields merely to the automatic way of removal. But occasionally, using this way of removal users detect that the program returns to the browser and they have to fulfill any other methods to remove it.
Of course there is another manual removal instruction using which you should delete files and registry keys and values. This way of removal is not harmful if you will perform it cautiously or commit it to the experienced person who knows what and why should be removed. To make this method more secure you should do the backup of the registry. You should keep in mind that only the itemized elements of the software should be enumerated and no other ones differently your system will not load. If you do not understand what registry entry is and where it should be, then it is better to perform automatic technique in order not to damage the computer.
Automatic way of removal is the method when a user runs any software to solve the problem. This way is the most harmless and powerful. It is also not a difficult one. You can just install the antivirus program that has JDownloader in its signatures. The described removal way is more advantageous because you will install the antivirus that will guard your computer from the future computer viruses.
Concerning the sums of money that users may pay for the virus removal I should say that some methods are 100% free of charge, for example manual removal from browsers, manual professional removal (in the case if you will do it by yourselves), free antivirus program and the removal from Control Panel. But not all of them are equally effective. The information about the effectiveness of these methods I describe in the table that is called ‘Removal methods statistics’, you can see it below. Speaking about the paid ways of virus removal, I should mention the Computer Repair Shop Service and paid Antivirus program.
These methods are the most efficient. In spite of the great difference in the price (Repair Shop service depends on the complication of the issue and may cost up to $300, but paid antivirus costs up to $60) these methods are almost equal in the effectiveness and in the results. I should also notice that paid antiviruses always has support service (often for free) that will solve your problem like in an expensive computer repair shop.
Removal methods statistics
Removal method | Price | Effectiveness | Safety | Needed Time |
Computer Repair Shop | $140-$210 | +++ | +++ | up to 4 days |
Paid Antivirus | $35-70 | +++ | +++ | up to 1 hour |
Free Antivirus |
$0 | +/- | +/- | up to 3 hours |
From Control Panel | $0 | +/- | ++ | up to 1 hour |
Manual Removal (Professional) | $0 | + | – | up to 4 Hours |
Removal from browsers | $0 | +/- | +/- | up to 1 hour |

I think this page was good for JDownloader Removal. But to guard your system from different alike programs for browsers and from all other computer threats, so you are welcome to install any antivirus program. You can choose a program that has a expanded signature base, regular update and real-time protection. Only the utility of this kind is able to protect the system.

It is very easy to scan your system with SpyHunter and it is so powerful that can reveal and uninstall trojans and other hidden malware.

If you need to scan only one file, then it is time to choose Custom Malware Fixes feature. You should also use Process Guard or Registry Guard of this antimalware software for your convenience.
I also want to provide you with some helpful actions that will protect your laptop from JDownloader and other computer threats in the future:
- Do not download any freeware from unknown developers. If you do not want to pay for applications, then you should be very attentive during the installation of the application. You should not overlook the checkbox (usually small letters) that is responsible for the installation of any other free programs. You should uncheck this checkbox.
- Do not open any dangerous websites (porn, for adults, websites of unknown free software), they usually contain some trojans or other kinds of viruses.
- Do not use torrents or other sharing web services, because you can download adware instead of the wanted file.
- Do not double-click email attachment from unknown persons. It can be one of the computer dangers.
- Install any antivirus program and make a scan of your computer at least once a week.

Péter Szilágyi, one of the key figures of the Ethereum Foundation, recently threw a wrench into the pond by expressing his reservations about the current valuations of cryptos. While ERC20s, NFTs, and even coins sometimes trade for millions of dollars, Szilágyi calls for a step back. For him, the question is simple: what is the true value of these assets in an ecosystem that advocates decentralization and innovation, but which seems prey to rampant speculation?
Valuations that defy logic
Szilágyi observed a worrying trend: investors are flocking to increasingly eccentric assets.
Tokens with no apparent utility, NFTs based on memes and opportunistic projects are capturing the attention and money of many speculators.
For the head of Ethereum, these astronomical valuations are neither sustainable nor justified. In his opinion, they represent a bubble ready to burst.
According to Szilagyithis situation is not tenable. One day, he says, someone will take the value out of these overvalued assets, and the impact could ripple across the entire ecosystem.
This scenario evokes another era of crypto: that of the ICO bubble in 2017, when projects without substance exploded in value, before falling suddenly.
The head of Ethereum therefore calls for caution, insisting that the attraction of assets with fleeting popularity risks compromising the long-term credibility of the crypto.
Market freedom called into question?
If Szilágyi's intervention found a certain echo, it did not fail to arouse strong reactions in the community. Many believe that these statements go against the principles of decentralization and the free market, the very foundations of the crypto universe.
For them, the value of an asset, whether ERC20 or NFT, should be dictated by the market, and not by an authority, even indirect, like the Ethereum Foundation.
Critics argue that the beauty of crypto lies precisely in its ability to offer a ground for experimentation without restrictions.
Whether it's memes, digital art, or serious projects, every asset has the right to exist, and it's up to the user to determine its value.
In fact, these critiques echo the philosophy of organic emergence, where the most daring – and sometimes the most outlandish – innovations can flourish without interference.
Ultimately, the controversy surrounding this stance reveals a division within the crypto community.
On the one hand, those in favor of a more cautious approach, concerned with preserving the stability of the ecosystem. On the other, the defenders of a free market, where each project, whether founded or fanciful, has the right to seek its place.
This tension, far from being trivial, reflects the very evolution of crypto: a maturing field, torn between unbridled innovation and the need for regulation.

When choosing an antivirus alternative, be sure to consider which features are crucial. A good anti virus should give protection to all of your pc’s domains, files, and network elements right from malicious code. It should also be able to detect and take out malicious code. An antivirus should also be able to detect destructive code upon all entry points of your computer system. The following are some tips for choosing an antivirus security software solution:
Style Micro provides enterprise-grade menace protection www.isohuntpro.org/amazon-echo-buds-review through a cloud management console. It uses a real estate agent that is light-weight on your program and responds to harmful code with out affecting it is performance. This kind of agent uses cloud-based risk analysis and artificial intellect to identify unidentified threats. It is compatible with a variety of types of endpoints and is recognized on Microsoft windows 10.
One more feature of an malware solution can be its signature-based scanning. This tries to get specific digital codes of viruses then quarantines or deletes all of them. Once acknowledged as being, these malware can be included with a signature database, that is stored locally or inside the cloud and used every time a system is searched. However , signature-based encoding is certainly not suitable for fresh threats and needs one person or system to become attacked ahead of it can find them. Additionally it is not effective against malicious code that is certainly hidden in clear sight.
Computer virus and malware protection is yet another important factor in keeping your laptop or computer protected. Whether you’re making use of the software for personal or perhaps business work with, an anti-virus solution will need to provide you with real-time protection. These types of services also provide you with the secure feeling of if you know your data is secure.

Researchers at Embedi who found the critical Active Management Technology (AMT) flaw in Intel chips said in a blog published today there were “a tremendous amount of baseless assumptions” being made about the vulnerability.
According Embedi CTO Dmitry Evdokimov, an information vacuum has predictably sparked false assumptions about the vulnerability, otherwise known as Intel Standard Manageability Escalation of Privilege – INTEL-SA-00075 (CVE-2017-5689).
For starters, the date range of Intel systems affected by this vulnerability (version 6.x, 7.x, 8.x 9.x, 10.x, 11.0, 11.5, and 11.6) goes from 2010 to 2011; no Intel firmware related to this vulnerability was in use before 2010, Embedi said. Evdokimov refuted reports that the AMT vulnerability dates back as many as nine years to when the AMT feature was first introduced.
Embedi said its hands are tied and it can’t release granular details on the AMT flaw, but promised a fuller account once Intel and other stakeholders have a chance to patch systems. “Intel representatives have asked Embedi to hold off on disclosing any technical details regarding this issue until further notice,” according to a blog post by Embedi titled MythBusters.
Evdokimov emphasizes the vulnerability is not associated with a remote code execution (RCE) bug as others had assumed in reports following Intel’s security bulletin. Rather, Evdokimov emphasized the flaw Embedi researchers found was a logical vulnerability, details of which he also could not disclose.
“RCE is a technical vulnerability like a coding mistake. A logical vulnerability finds flaws in the way the application makes decisions,” explained Evdokimov in an interview with Threatpost.
He also said the vulnerability impacts only Intel PCs, laptops and servers with the enabled Intel AMT feature turned on. No consumer PCs are affected–a distinction not consistently made in reporting of the vulnerability. However, Evdokimov also noted; “in our recent researches we’ve discovered some cases which allows attacks even on systems without the official AMT-support could be at risk.” He declined to elaborate.
“The vulnerability discovered is a logical vulnerability in some AMT network protocols which allows a remote attacker to take full control (log in as admin) of any AMT service the system is capable of,” Evdokimov said.
He said the vulnerability could allow an attacker to gain a remote access to AMT services such as the keyboard, video and mouse (KVM), IDE Redirection, Serial over LAN and BIOS setup and editing.
But Evdokimov points out when any of the above AMT features are activated by a third party, the activities of the attacker can’t be easily hidden from the target system user.
He said the vulnerability was discovered by Embedi researcher Maks Malyutin in mid-February. The vulnerability was disclosed to Intel on March 3.
Evdokimov noted that the logical vulnerability that Embedi found was unrelated to a flaw identified in June 2016 by a researcher who claimed that there was a remotely exploitable security hole inthe Intel Management Engine that created a secret backdoor allowing a third party to use undetectable rootkits against Intel PCs. A number of reports, following Intel’s disclosure, made the assumption the vulnerabilities were related, he said.
“There is no relation. Actually, the researcher wrote about the “backdoor” capabilities of Intel ME subsystem (access to DRAM, out-of-band access to a network interface and other administration and control capabilities used by Intel AMT technology). It is scary to have this subsystem inside each computer system, but it is unrelated.”
Given those disclosure date of March 3, some in the research community are scratching their heads over a sharp increase in the scanning of ports 16992 or 16993, used by systems administrators to manage workstations remotely over a network.
“Intel released their advisory yesterday, yet people started scanning for 16992 or 16993 last month,” tweeted a researcher who goes by the handle x0rz.
“We cannot comment on this. It may just be a coincidence,” he said. “But this is a typical situation for all remote vulnerabilities which can be exploited through the internet. The same situation was with Heartbleed and others.”
Evdokimov practical advice for those impacted by the AMT vulnerability is simple, “just un-configure it via disabling AMT in the BIOS setup.”
As to how long system administrators will have to grapple with the fallout of this vulnerability, Evdokimov said: “Updating firmware to protect against the AMT vulnerability is not an easy process. Users don’t update firmware as rule. Vulnerable system will exist a long time after the security patch is released.”

Artificial Intelligence (AI) in AML Insighter.
06.12.2017 Category: News
This month, AnalyticSoftLab launched the development of an artificial intelligence module based on in-depth learning. The main mechanism will be the deep neural network. The main tasks that will be addressed by" smart modules "will be: identification of suspicious client transactions subject to mandatory or internal financial monitoring, evaluation of the client as a whole for belonging to the group of "bad" guys and identifying customers who are in the "border zone", i.e. those whose behavior is similar to the behavior of customers who have switched from "good" to "bad."
With these developments, the company plans to significantly improve the quality of the selection of operations for preliminary analysis in rules that are difficult to automate and require manual intervention and the human brain. In addition, the functions and conclusions obtained with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) will be integrated into existing mechanisms as separate parameters, which will significantly increase the flexibility of the model configuration by end users of the AML system.
Ready-to-use modules of in-depth training are planned for next summer.
AnalyticalSoftLab is a reliable software development company in Kiev for the corporate and banking sector.

The System Configuration page allows you to control various global capabilities in CCAdv and WA. To make changes, edit the relevant fields and click Save. Changes take effect immediately.
Access to the System Configuration page is subject to Role-based Access Control (RBAC). The link to the page displays in the administration module only if you have been granted the privilege associated with it. See CCAdv/WA Access Privileges for the full list of privileges associated with Contact Center Advisor/Workforce Advisor (CCAdv/WA) and the administration module.
The screenshot, System Configuration, shows the page in the administration module. There are three subsections presented as tabs:
- Contact Center/Workforce Advisor (displayed by default)
- Data Sources
Contact Center / Workforce Advisor Tab
The Contact Center/Workforce Advisor tab displays the fields described in this section.
Notification Refresh Rate (minutes)
The Notification Refresh Rate determines the frequency with which a Distribution List sends email messages about alerts. Organizations with critical performance targets might want to know if an alert is still active and prefer an updated emails after Advisors sends the first one. Others might prefer to send only one email.
Here is how Advisors uses this rate.
- Contact Center Advisor or Workforce Advisor regularly checks for notifiable alerts.
- CCAdv checks threshold violation alerts and peripheral offline alerts every minute.
- WA checks threshold violation alerts every processing cycle.
- The application sends email about new alerts.
- For an alert that is not new, if the time that the email was last sent is older than the notification refresh rate, or if the severity of the alert has changed since the last email message about the alert, the application sends another email.
While these two configuration settings are very important to the notification function, how the root thresholds are set is the most important consideration. For more information about alerts, see Application Groups and Thresholds.
Alert Creation Delay Interval (minutes)
Controls how many minutes a metric’s value must exist in a state exceeding a threshold before Advisors creates an alert that appears in the Alerts Pane. Alerts about offline peripherals in Cisco ICM, and manual alerts, are an exception to this rate: they appear immediately. Typically an Alert Creation Delay Interval would be in the 10–30 minute range and is entirely dependent upon the urgency and severity of issues.
Application-to-Agent Group Relationships
- Manual: You manually assign agent group(s) to an application or application(s) to an agent group. For CISCO ICM the relationships between Services and Skill Groups that are pre-determined at the source will not be imported if manual mode is selected.
- Auto Override: You manually assign agent group(s) to an application or application(s) to an agent group. For CISCO ICM the relationships between Services and Skill Groups that are pre-determined at the source will be imported automatically.
The consequences of changing the Application-to-Agent Group Relationships option are:
- Changing from Manual to Auto Override will trigger the automatic import of the relationships that exist at the source.
- Changing from Manual to Auto Override honors manual entries. Only the relationships that you exclude are removed. Changing from Auto Override to Manual honors manual entries.
- Changing Auto Override to Manual prevents relationships from being imported from the source and erases all automatically imported relationships. After the change, all relationships must be created manually from the administration module.
Display Agent Group Contact Center Column
Determines whether the Contact Center column is displayed in the Agent Groups pane in Contact Center Advisor, thereby controlling whether dashboard users can see the name of the agent group contact center for an agent group related to a network contact center.
Show Totals and Averages Row for Agent Groups
Yes/No. Determines whether the Totals and Averages row appears in the Agent Groups pane in a dashboard (Contact Center Advisor and Workforce Advisor). This row aggregates the values of metrics of the agent groups related to the applications or contact groups related to the aggregating object currently selected in the Contact Centers pane. The default setting is to display the Totals and Averages row. You must restart the XML Generator for your changes to appear on the dashboard.
Integrated CCAdv/WA Configuration
Yes/No. Choose between two Contact Center Advisor/Workforce Advisor configuration modes:
- Integrated CCAdv/WA configuration mode
- Independent CCAdv/WA configuration mode
The default is integrated configuration mode. The choice of the mode determines all further configuration processes, what data is stored, and how the configuration data is interpreted and used inside the application. You can change the mode at any time. A change to the parameter has an immediate impact on the application.
If you select the integrated CCAdv/WA configuration mode, the configuration of Workforce Advisor depends on that of Contact Center Advisor. If you select independent configuration mode, WA operates independently from the CCAdv configuration structure.
For detailed information, see Configuration Modes.
Use the drop-down lists to change the default grouping selection for the CCAdv and WA Contact Centers panes. The default grouping selection for business objects in CCAdv and WA is Reporting Region - Contact Centers. You might have users who cannot change the grouping (that is, they do not have the necessary permissions); in that case, you might prefer to have a different default grouping.
For users who have permission to change the grouping, the default grouping applies only to initial login to Contact Center Advisor or Workforce Advisor. If the user changes the grouping, the grouping that the user selected is cached and maintained. The selected grouping displays after the user logs out and logs in again.
The selected default grouping does not force the configuration to include that region type. For example, if the default grouping is Reporting Region - Contact Centers, you can still configure an application or a contact group so that it is not related to a reporting region. It will not appear in the dashboards when that grouping is selected, and it will not contribute values to the rollup for that grouping.
If users are unable to change the grouping on the dashboard, ensure that the region type in the default grouping is also used in the configuration of the objects you want those users to see.
Data Sources Tab
The Data Sources tab displays a list of the real-time data sources connected to the Advisors suite. The fields represent the following:
Status: Although the Data Sources tab includes a Status field, it does not show the status. The data source status is closely associated with the health of the dashboard, therefore, to check the status of data sources, you must use the Contact Center Advisor dashboard. For more information about the data source status indicator on the dashboard, see Checking the Health of the Dashboard in the Contact Center Advisor and Workforce Advisor Help.
Name: The name of the data source that was registered when installing XML Generator. This field represents the name of a SQL Server database, Oracle schema, or a database link associated with the data source. This is a noneditable field.
Descriptive Name: Descriptive name of the data source. Can be edited by an administrator and is a required field. Appears in the tooltip of the red stop sign icon displayed in the Contact Center Advisor dashboard when the data source has exceeded the update delay threshold.
Type: Underlying platform for the data source, as specified when installing CCAdv. Current supported values are GENESYS and CISCO. This value cannot be changed by the administrator through the user interface.
Update Delay Threshold (minutes): The maximum number of minutes allowed between the last update time of the data source and the current time. Exceeding this threshold causes the red stop sign icon to display in the top right of Contact Center Advisor's dashboard, and in the Status field in this page. This value can be edited and is required. The minimum value that can be entered in this field is 1 and the maximum value is 30.
Last Update: The time of the last update from this data source in the time zone of the server on which the administration user interface is running. This is the controller time in the external data source system and is a noneditable field.
Distribution List: Distribution list to which email is sent if the data source's controller time is not updated and the delay violates the delay threshold. If no distribution list has been previously selected for a data source, the drop-down shows the Select option. Otherwise it shows the distribution list associated with the data source. Note that in the use of this distribution list, Contact Center Advisor ignores the settings of an alert's severity, and it also does not use any contact centers or application groups associated with the distribution list.
The Modules tab displays the names and URLs of individual modules of your installation.
Application Name: You can modify the name that displays for the module in the menu you use to switch between modules.
Deployment URL: The URL that Advisors uses to load each module is read-only, for reference information only.
Version: Shows the version number of the module version so you can check what you have deployed.

What is HMAC-MD5
HMAC-MD5 (Hash-based Message Authentication Code using MD5) is a cryptographic algorithm designed to provide both data integrity and authentication. It combines the MD5 hash function with a secret cryptographic key to create a unique hash value for a given input message. This mechanism ensures that any unauthorized alterations to the data can be detected, making it a popular choice for various security applications. Despite its widespread use, MD5 is known for vulnerabilities, leading to concerns about its security in certain applications.
Popular Use Cases of HMAC-MD5
HMAC-MD5 is commonly used in several areas of information security, including:
- Data Integrity Verification: Many applications utilize HMAC-MD5 to ensure that the data sent over a network has not been tampered with during transmission.
- API Authentication: HMAC-MD5 is often employed in web services as a method for validating the authenticity of requests, helping to prevent unauthorized access.
- Digital Signatures: It can be used as part of digital signatures, allowing parties to verify the origin and integrity of messages exchanged over insecure channels.
Despite its applications, developers are increasingly opting for more secure alternatives due to the vulnerabilities associated with MD5.
What is Streebog (GOST R 34.11-2012)
Streebog, formally known as GOST R 34.11-2012, is a cryptographic hash function established by Russian standards. It provides a secure method for producing fixed-size hash values from input data of any size. The Streebog algorithm generates two hash lengths: 256 bits and 512 bits, catering to different security needs. It utilizes a sponge construction, making it resistant to various attacks and ensuring high performance on both hardware and software platforms.
Popular Use Cases of Streebog (GOST R 34.11-2012)
Streebog is primarily used in:
- Digital Signatures: As part of the Russian digital signature standard, Streebog enhances the security of electronic documents and transactions.
- File Integrity Checking: It's employed to verify the integrity of files by generating hash values that can be compared to ensure that files remain unaltered.
- Data Security in Government Communications: Streebog is often mandated for use in secure communications within governmental and military applications in Russia, reflecting its robustness and reliability.
Streebog’s design aims to meet modern cryptographic standards, making it a preferred choice for securing sensitive information.
HMAC-MD5 vs Streebog (GOST R 34.11-2012): Understanding the Differences
When comparing HMAC-MD5 and Streebog, several key differences emerge:
- Security: HMAC-MD5 is based on the MD5 hash function, which has known vulnerabilities, making it less secure than Streebog, which is designed to meet contemporary cryptographic standards.
- Hash Length: HMAC-MD5 produces a fixed hash size of 128 bits, while Streebog offers flexibility with hash outputs of 256 and 512 bits, allowing for stronger security options.
- Applications: HMAC-MD5 is commonly used in web and API security, while Streebog is often utilized in government and secure communications, reflecting its higher security level.
- Performance: Both algorithms perform well, but Streebog's design allows it to operate efficiently across various platforms, making it suitable for both embedded systems and high-performance applications.
In summary, while HMAC-MD5 may still be found in legacy systems, Streebog is emerging as a more secure alternative for modern applications.
In conclusion, HMAC-MD5 and Streebog (GOST R 34.11-2012) serve crucial roles in data integrity and authentication, yet they cater to vastly different security needs. HMAC-MD5, while widely used, is increasingly viewed as less secure due to vulnerabilities in the MD5 algorithm. On the other hand, Streebog provides a modern and robust alternative, especially in environments requiring high levels of security. As cryptographic standards evolve, understanding these differences will help developers and organizations make informed decisions about which algorithms to implement for safeguarding their data.

Software Security Trends
When developers use open source libraries, they include them in their products and then they don’t really think about the vulnerabilities that are coming through that open source it becomes a problem for the entire ecosystem. We saw that with Heartbleed, everyone scrambling around trying to patch. Their usage of the SSL library if you’re using open source, you really have to think about it differently. You have to think about it as you’re managing something a supplier is delivering to you, but you have to think about, what’s the Bill of materials of my software, What did the supplier drop off to me? And then I have to make sure that I’m keeping track of vulnerabilities as they come forward in the future and update that. So it’s kind of like a car manufacturers that you know keeping track of all the parts they use in case there’s a defect that say air bags and you need to do a replace.
It’s interesting because modern secure software development has changed because development practices have changed. Modern software development is much more iterative now and much more agile where things aren’t planned out in advance and you have people writing software where they are going from. New feature idea to delivering that software in in maybe a week or two or even in days, and so modern Software security has had to adapt to that. What you need to do is you need to do things in small chunks and iterative way so that, your threat modeling just that one new feature at a time, sort of on demand. Or are you doing manual penetration testing On just one feature at a time and your automation has to run at the speed of your of your development pipeline so that if your development pipeline, you know building and running your automated tests takes a few minutes, your security testing has to fit into that few minutes too. So this is where we’re seeing automated tests get faster and faster, but also operate on smaller and smaller chunks and shifted further and further left. So you’re not you’re you’re working on the little pieces of the application and it makes it much quicker to get to discovering that vulnerability. So let’s talk about shifting left. What does shifting left mean and how do you do it? Shifting left means that you’re really becoming part of the development process. And not even just becoming part of the process before we deploy the software, let’s run all our security all at once, right before we deploy it. The problem with both of those is you’re about ready to deploy your software when you get this big list of things to fix. So obviously that’s going to slow things down. So shifting left is trying to discover the vulnerabilities as close to when those vulnerabilities are created as possible. So you would want to be doing automated testing, you know on a feature branch as a developer or some developers are working on a feature before it’s in that mainline branch when they’re designing. Hey, we are we done? Here are we done with this feature? Are we going to commit this code? Shifting left would be like left to our security testing there it as in part of the pipeline when I’m doing my unit testing. You can even shift further left. And scan code in the IDE. As a developer is scanning, there are some limitations that you don’t have the full context of the application because you might just be looking at. You know, one method of code, one class of code. But if you can find a certain percentage of vulnerabilities there, that’s that. That’s great. The other thing is third party Code when you bring up open source library into your application you wanna understand if that version has vulnerabilities right? Then when you first start using it or when you’re building in the pipeline, you don’t wanna find this after the fact, so lots of different techniques of testing software can be shifted left. And even penetration testing can be shifted left. So how do you actually incorporate security into the process? What tools do you use? If you’re a company is trying to transition to this process, which should they be thinking about? Is there any foundational elements, yeah. So foundational elements for tools would be things like static analysis. Which you know it’s basically grew out of code review.So you can actually inspect all the code just like you would inspect code by doing a code review. Except you’re doing it extremely fast and you can look for a huge amount of different coding patterns.
If control flow and data flow and usage of risky functions that will highlight something that’s exploitable. Also, Software composition analysis which tells you what open source you’re using, but there’s a real benefit to doing runtime testing. Which actually models how the code is running in a particular environment, so tools like dynamic application security testing which really focus on exercising a web interface or an API interface, a Restful API. There’s interactive application security testing which inspects code as it’s running. It’s being driven by unit tests or other kind of testing and those types of tests can be built into the pipeline, also tell you things that you might not be able to see because there they can see how the code is interacting with its environment. So other microservices, other APIs that are outside of your system, the actual you know container stack, it might be running it that those types of testing can see more.
Another interesting question is how should companies assign ownership of secure code across the software development lifecycle? This is one that I think makes a huge difference, and it’s assigning the ownership of the security of the code to the people who are writing the code. When you have a finding whether that was found by an external pen tester. Some static analysis tool. It should get routed to the people who own that piece of code. Ideally, they’re the ones doing the testing right? They’re running the testing and so it’s close to the time when that code was produced. You know, I see all the time where you wait and have pile of tech debt and security debt till the end of a many month project and you find all these vulnerabilities and then you go to fix them and the people who wrote the code aren’t even on the team anymore or I’ve seen places where they don’t want to take up the time for the developers that are their prized developers who wrote the code and they outsource the fixing. The problem I see with that is it takes longer to fix. It might be cheaper actually, but the real downfall of that kind of model is the people who created the vulnerabilities in the first place don’t get to learn from that Feedback loop. How can somebody present maybe this security organization work with that group to raise the level of priority and get that part of their remit. The way I’ve seen it work well and this is something we actually do it fair is something that I’ve seen work that team helps each individual scrum team get up to speed, and ideally educates the team with training and even goes above and beyond that and create a security champion within that team to try to scale out the expertise and they can help out. When this vulnerability is found they can pair up with a developer that’s fixing it. If you have incident response capabilities in the Hunt team, you start doing incident response that is, start thinking of ways that you can block the attacker so they don’t cause anymore damage and that you can eradicate them quickly.
Tools that can be recommended from a free tool perspective let’s focus on two types of tools. One is sort of a framework environment that you could do threat hunting in and the other is individual piece part tools, and you kind of want to have both and they also work together. So from this sort of framework threat hunting environment, there’s some great tools that are available. There is a tool called Zeek it is a great environment for gathering data from a network, including things like packet captures, including things like logs, including things like issues discovered on end systems and then doing various kinds of queries and analysis of it. Another great one is an entire Linux distribution called security Onion, another one is Deep Blue CLI (Command line interface). It is a series of PowerShell scripts that you can feed Windows event logs to and it applies various heuristics to go through the Windows event logs, and it’s really easy to use. You simply run Deep Blue CLI and it tells where the file is with your event logs, and it kind of chunks through the whole file saying I see some evidence here that looks like an attacker did lateral movement from the system to that system. There’s another free standalone tool called RITA, it’s focus is on network activity that might be nefarious. Another tool that’s really quite nice, especially working in a multi operating system environment, is tool called OS Query. Deep Blue CLI focuses on Windows event logs, If you look at RITA, it focuses on network activity, but OS query can pull information not only from Windows machines, but also things like Mac OS systems and other operating systems, which is kind of cool.
Microsoft System journals has Sysmon,It is also is a miracle. It gets you very detailed insight into what’s happening on a Windows machine so that you can look at all the processes, the process hierarchies, like what is the parent process of this process, was the parent process of that, what DLLS are they loading, what interactions are they having with the registry. It is an incredible tool for doing detailed analysis, so I recommend it for any threat hunter Or would the threat Hunter understands Sysmon start looking at that, It’s freely available from Microsoft. There is also some really great stuff from a threat hunting perspective in various cloud services. For example, in Microsoft Azure, there’s a set of features bundled together called Sentinel. And if you go into Azure Sentinel, there’s a specific page on hunting with built-in queries that you can use to find anomalous things, Azure Sentinel is a SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) and Security Orchestration and Automated Response (SOAR) system in Microsoft’s public cloud platform. It can provide a single solution for alert detection, threat visibility, proactive hunting, and threat response. OWASP has free tool named as Dependency checker that works for Java and other Object Oriented programing languages. Another big trend is this trend toward purple team, it used to be red would do their thing, and then if you detected it, that’s fine. If you didn’t have that or blue would do their thing, maybe even with threat hunting, but without integration with red and plus blue working together, I think that is a really huge thing that’s driving this forward.

Advanced Interviewing Techniques for Loss Prevention Investigations
Loss prevention investigations are critical for safeguarding businesses from financial loss, protecting assets, and maintaining a secure environment. However, the success of these investigations heavily relies on the effectiveness of the interviews conducted.Advanced interviewing techniques can significantly improve the quality of information gathered, leading to more successful investigations and a reduction in losses.
By mastering advanced techniques, interviewers can establish rapport, detect deception, and elicit truthful information, even from reluctant or uncooperative individuals. These skills are crucial for uncovering the truth, identifying perpetrators, and recovering stolen assets.
Psychological Factors at Play During an Interview
Understanding the psychological dynamics at play during an interview is crucial for conducting effective loss prevention investigations. By recognizing these factors, investigators can tailor their approach and improve the chances of obtaining accurate and reliable information.
Fight-or-Flight Response:When confronted with an accusation or investigation, individuals may instinctively react with defensiveness or evasiveness. Creating a calm and non-confrontational environment can help mitigate this response and foster cooperation.
Memory and Recall:Memory is fallible and easily influenced. Investigators must understand the limitations of memory and employ techniques that encourage accurate recall, such as revisiting the scene of an incident or using open-ended questions that don't lead the witness.
Group Dynamics:If multiple individuals are involved in an incident, their allegiances and relationships can impact their willingness to provide information. Conducting separate interviews and carefully assessing the dynamics between individuals can help uncover the truth.
Perception:An individual's perception of events can be shaped by their biases and experiences. Skilled interviewers understand how to separate fact from interpretation and elicit objective information.
Empathy: Building rapport and demonstrating empathy can encourage interviewees to open up and provide more detailed information. Even in cases of suspected wrongdoing, maintaining a respectful and understanding approach can yield better results.
Non-Verbal Cues: Body language, facial expressions, and tone of voice can reveal volumes about an individual's emotional state and truthfulness. Trained interviewers knowhow to read these cuesand use them to guide their questioning.
Advanced Questioning Techniques
Effective questioning is at the heart of successful loss prevention interviews. Advanced questioning techniques enable investigators to gather more detailed and accurate information, identify inconsistencies, and uncover the truth.
Open-Ended Questions: Employ open-ended inquiries to encourage comprehensive and detailed responses from the interviewee, instead of a closed ended “yes or no” question. This allows for a deeper understanding of their perspective and uncovering potential new information.
Behavioural Event Interviewing (BEI):Utilize BEI techniques to inquire specific past experiences and actions, assessing the interviewee's decision-making processes, problem-solving abilities, and overall behaviour patterns.
Chronological Questioning: Structure questions in a chronological sequence to aid the interviewee in recalling events accurately, potentially revealing inconsistencies or omissions in their narrative.
Hypothetical Questions:Pose hypothetical scenarios to evaluate the interviewee's potential responses and thought processes in analogous situations, offering insight into their character and judgment.
Silence: Strategically employ pauses to create a sense of anticipation, prompting the interviewee to volunteer additional information or expand on their previous statements.
Mirroring and Matching:Subtly reflect the interviewee's non-verbal cues to establish rapport, foster a sense of connection, and cultivate an environment of trust and openness.
Cognitive Interviewing: Implement memory-enhancing techniques, such as mental reinstatement of context and multi-perspective recall, to facilitate more accurate and comprehensive information retrieval from the interviewee.
Non-verbal communication plays a significant role in interviews, often revealing more than words alone. By paying attention to non-verbal cues, investigators can gain valuable insights into the interviewee's thoughts, emotions, and truthfulness.
Body Language:Carefully observe the interviewee's posture, gestures, and facial expressions. These nonverbal cues can reveal underlying emotions like nervousness, deception, or discomfort, offering valuable insights into their responses.
Eye Contact:Establish and maintain appropriate eye contact with the interviewee. This conveys attentiveness and sincerity. However, avoid prolonged staring, as it can create an intimidating atmosphere and hinder open communication.
Microexpressions: Be vigilant for fleeting facial expressions that may reveal concealed emotionsor contradict the interviewee's verbal statements. These microexpressions can offer crucial clues about their true feelings and thoughts.
Voice Tone and Inflection: Pay close attention to any changes in the interviewee's voice tone, pitch, and volume. These vocal cues can indicate stress, uncertainty, or attempts at deception, providing additional layers of understanding.
Proxemics:Be mindful of personal space and cultural norms when interacting with the interviewee. Maintain a comfortable distance that respects their boundaries and fosters a non-threatening environment.
Active Listening:Demonstrate active listening through non-verbal cues like nodding, maintaining eye contact, and leaning forward slightly. These behaviours show genuine interest and encourage the interviewee to continue sharing information.
Handling Difficult Situations
Loss prevention interviews can sometimes involve challenging situations, such as dealing with uncooperative interviewees, emotional outbursts, or attempts at deception. Effective strategies for handling these situations are essential for maintaining control and obtaining valuable information.
Uncooperative Interviewees: Remain calm and professional, even if the interviewee is hostile or evasive. Reiterate the importance of their cooperation and try to establish common ground.
Emotional Outbursts: Allow the interviewee to express their emotions but maintain control of the situation. Offer empathy and understanding, but do not let the interview derail.
Deception: Be alert for signs of deception, such as inconsistencies in statements, avoidance of eye contact, or fidgeting. Use gentle confrontation and probing questions to challenge inconsistencies and seek clarification.
Cultural Sensitivity: Be mindful of cultural differences that may affect communication and behaviour during the interview. Adapt your approach accordingly to ensure effective communication and avoid misunderstandings.
Confidentiality:Assure the interviewee of confidentiality and take measures to protect their identity if necessary. This can encourage them to be more forthcoming with information.
De-escalation Techniques:Use de-escalation techniques, such as active listening and paraphrasing, to defuse tense situations and maintain a calm atmosphere.
Advanced interviewing techniques are invaluable tools for loss prevention professionals. By mastering these techniques, investigators can significantly improve the effectiveness of their interviews, leading to more successful investigations, reduced losses, and a safer workplace.

DICT Key Types and Requirements
The DICT Key must be one of the following valid types: CNPJ, CPF, email, phone number, or UUID version 4. Each type has specific formatting and validation rules as outlined below.
No formatting; must contain 14 characters
14 numeric characters only
No formatting; must contain 11 characters
11 numeric characters only
Must be a valid email format
Standard email validation
Must follow international format with '+' prefix
Must be a valid UUID version 4
Standard UUID v4 validation
To safeguard the system against misuse and to prevent depletion of user tokens from BACEN's DICT control, a protection mechanism is implemented. If an invalid DICT Key is submitted, it will automatically be added to a blacklist for a duration of one hour. This feature helps to prevent repeated attempts with invalid keys.
To prevent potential blocks from the BACEN DICT Control, the system caches bank account data after the first transaction using a specific DICT Key. Subsequent transactions with the same DICT Key utilize the cached data, returning a transaction type of BANK_INSTRUCTION instead of DICT_KEY.

In the payment innovation space, security, trust and compliance are three non-negotiable pillars.
Their importance is growing against an operational backdrop where data extortion and ransomware attacks impact businesses.
Eighty percent of organizations have attack paths that expose critical assets, and there has been a 275% year-over-year increase in ransomware-related attacks, according to the “Digital Defense Report 2024” published by Microsoft Wednesday (Oct. 16).
For companies seeking to navigate the complexities of security, compliance and customer trust while mitigating the risks of the contemporary digital threat landscape, SOC 2 (short for Service Organization Control 2) is becoming popular in the payments tech world.
SOC 2 is a set of standards designed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) to evaluate and certify an organization’s internal controls on data security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy. It is not a one-size-fits-all checklist; rather, it is a comprehensive framework that organizations tailor to their specific business needs, particularly those handling sensitive customer information, like payment processors and other ecosystem stakeholders.
In today’s cyber threat landscape, if you’re not flaunting a SOC 2 badge, you may fall behind.
The payments industry is uniquely positioned in terms of opportunity and risk. With the increase in digital payments, online transactions, and the integration of FinTech solutions, the volume of sensitive data flowing through payment systems has surged. This data includes personal and financial information, making payment companies prime cyberattack targets. SOC 2 compliance provides a framework for these companies to secure their operations and demonstrate their commitment to data integrity.
To earn those SOC 2 brownie points, companies must prove they’re solid in five key areas: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy. Think of it like showing up to a party. If you don’t have all the essentials (drinks, snacks, good music, friendly vibes and privacy for gossip), no one’s sticking around.
As the payments landscape evolves with the adoption of real-time payments, embedded finance and blockchain, SOC 2 compliance will become more important. Payment companies are integrating complex, interconnected technologies that expose them to new vulnerabilities. SOC 2’s flexible, adaptable framework allows companies to update their controls as their systems grow, ensuring they stay ahead of emerging threats and regulatory changes.
Similarly, as consumers and businesses demand greater transparency and accountability from payment providers, having SOC 2 certification may soon become a baseline expectation. Companies that pursue compliance will be better positioned to build trust, minimize risks and capitalize on growth opportunities in an increasingly competitive market.
The PYMNTS Intelligence report “The State of Fraud and Financial Crime in the U.S.” found in September 2022 that 25% of executives at financial institutions with $500 billion or more in assets saw the new sophistication of fraud as a barrier to data security. In addition, 62% of executives at financial institutions with over $5 billion in assets said they saw an increase in financial crime compared to the previous year.
On Oct. 9, Fidelity Investments disclosed a data breach that affected 77,099 customers. The breach occurred Aug. 17 and was discovered Aug. 19, the financial services company said in data breach notifications filed with the Office of the Maine Attorney General.
Banks and financial institutions are facing increasingly sophisticated fraud tactics, according to the PYMNTS Intelligence report “Progress and Protection: Balancing Convenience and Security in Digital Banking.”
The average fraud-related costs for financial institutions with assets exceeding $5 billion leaped 65% in 2023 compared to the previous year, reaching $3.8 million, according to the report.
That’s why SOC 2 compliance is becoming important. The standard aligns with various regulatory requirements such as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). For many payment companies, obtaining SOC 2 compliance is not just about meeting industry standards but also adhering to broader regulatory obligations, thus reducing legal risks and potential penalties.
Still, SOC 2 is not a one-time certification. Payments companies must continually monitor their controls and processes to ensure ongoing compliance. This includes regular audits, vulnerability assessments and incident response testing.

In the process of creating your infrastructure and granting user access to your account, you need to be on the lookout for the security of your environment. There’s a good possibility that your environment will be changing constantly. This means that the security status of your environment could change as well, potentially leading to new vulnerabilities.
One of the challenges of being a security professional is trying to stay on top of all these different changes. Simply being in charge of one account that is full of users is challenging on its own. In an enterprise-type environment in which you are responsible for a whole AWS organization, comprised of numerous accounts under different organizational units, it can be almost impossible to keep track of changes without help.
The AWS Security Hub tool was designed with the aforementioned problems in mind. It allows you to track multiple accounts from inside an account in the Security OU if launched in a Control Tower setup. It also has the flexibility to work for smaller accounts and organizations that still only work within the confines of a single account. Security Hub is complemented by the GuardDuty service. This is one of the native AWS tools that can report the threats it detects back to Security Hub.
After completing this chapter, you will have learned the following major aspects related to AWS Security Hub and GuardDuty:
You will require access to the AWS Management Console with an active account and AWS CLI access for this chapter. You will also need minimal Git skills to clone a repository with example code. Finally, knowing how to find your IP address will help in one of the exercises.
For those unfamiliar with Amazon GuardDuty, it is a fully managed, intelligent threat-detection service, powered by machine learning, that continually provides insights into unusual and/or unexpected behavioral patterns within your account that could be considered malicious. Amazon GuardDuty can process and analyze millions of events captured through your AWS CloudTrail, DNS, and VPC Flow Logs from a single account or multiple accounts. These events are then referenced against numerous threat detection feeds, many of which contain known sources of malicious activity, including specific URLs and IP addresses.
Amazon GuardDuty is continually learning, based on the day-to-day operations within your account, to differentiate between normal behavior and what could be considered abnormal behavior, allowing it to effectively indicate a threat within your infrastructure. This behavioral-based analysis allows GuardDuty to detect potential interactions and connectivity with unknown or unusual sources.
Being an always-on service, GuardDuty provides a very effective method of automatically identifying security issues without impacting performance. The service runs entirely on the AWS infrastructure without needing local agents. Any findings by Amazon GuardDuty are presented to you in the form of a list of priorities based on the results.
There are no upfront costs to enable GuardDuty. It can intelligently detect security threats without hindering the performance of your infrastructure, regardless of size, and provide centralized management by aggregating data from multiple AWS accounts. These factors make GuardDuty a very effective tool to protect your AWS resources and any stored data.
GuardDuty installs in your account in a one-click manner. This means there are no extra applications to install or agents to deploy on the network. It simply starts monitoring your environment once you enable the service.

Text, Visualizaiton, or Both?
In the world of intelligence analysis, delivering accurate and timely information to decision-makers is paramount. The ultimate goal is to provide “the right information, to the right person, at the right time, communicated in the right way.” This involves creating high-quality analytic products that effectively convey findings and recommendations. In this blog post, we delve into the significance of tailored analytic end-products and how they can optimize decision-making processes. We will explore the current practices of information dissemination and the need for adaptable reporting tools based on insights from interviews conducted with decision-makers in the intelligence community.
Analytic products serve as valuable outputs of intelligence analysis, taking the form of intermediary data or end-products such as reports, dashboards, briefings, and placemats. Their purpose is to provide decision-makers with concise, well-supported discussions of findings and recommendations. These products are not only instrumental in shaping decisions made “at the top” but also influence the quality of decisions made at preceding levels. Research has shown that decision quality can suffer when information is presented in a format poorly suited to the individual decision-maker, even if all the relevant information is available.
We interviewed 22 professionals working in the intelligence space to gain insights about how they interact with intelligence reports, their most used and preferred report formats, and the types of decisions they make using the information from these reports. The interview contained 18 questions (see appendix material for questions).
We presented analysts with four different potential report layouts. In layout 1, the graphs are presented at the end of the documents. In layout 2, the charts are presented first, followed by text. In layout 3, the charts are presented throughout the report next to the relevant text. Layout 3 is a report format without charts.
The most common responses for what makes a report useful were Clear and Accurate (n=7), Concise(n=8), and Relevant (n=5). For example, one analyst said:
"Analysts reported the following useful features: tear lineThe "tear line" is a physical line on a document, often used to separate classified and unclassified information. , charts and graphics, well-sourced end-notes, easy to transfer and download, summary section, and takeaway section."
To better understand the layout and report format preferences, we examined analysts’ reading patterns. 7 participants stated that they “Quickly scan and jump to the most important content”, 5 stated that they “Read the entire report from start to finish” and the rest reported using a combination of techniques, sometimes including both of these extremes. Among the 9 participants that used several techniques, 6 reported that they read all titles and headers first and two reported that they read the summary first.
We were interested in how often intelligence reports contain charts and graphics. Only one analyst reported that their reports never contain graphics. 8 participants reported that their reports sometimes contain graphics, 6 said that they contain graphics about half of the time, 6 said that they contain reports most of the time and 1 said that they always contain graphics.
We asked analysts to rank their preferred layouts and justify their rankings. Out of the responses from 19 analysts, Layout 3 was ranked first the most (n=8), and Layout 4 was ranked last the most (n=14). We examined the rationale for these rankings and found that the analysts who ranked Layout 3 as the most preferred liked to see charts inserted next to their corresponding text to improve flow and comprehension.
"I prefer the graphics to be spread out throughout the text, like in Layout 3, and that they relate to the information within the paragraphs around the graphic."
Analysts who ranked Layout 4 as their least preferred layout believe that reports with charts are faster to read, improve information retention and comprehension and consolidate information in the text. It is important to note that all three analysts who ranked Layout 4 as the most preferred layout deem charts unnecessary for their tasks.
"Layout 4 is just a wall of words and can be difficult to read without a graphic. I know some reports don't need or come with graphics, but they can be difficult to read if it's a dull topic or too detailed."
Based on our findings, we believe that a personalized interface that accounts for users’ reading patterns and preferences, as well as report type and decision type, would benefit intelligence analysts. Further research must be conducted to define the interface’s compatibility with the existing workflow. Other more straightforward solutions to improve productivity would be to improve cross-referencing by seamlessly linking similar reports. Moreover, further investigations into the factors that impact report credibility and trust would be beneficial to support implementing systems that detect untrustworthy signals to improve decision quality.

Effective security management in large enterprises requires a streamlined and scalable approach to configuring code scans. To achieve consistent and comparable risk data across all projects, Mend allows two ways of configuration for Code Scans (SAST).
Global Configuration for Code Scans
The global configuration feature allows AppSec Managers to centrally manage scan configurations for all projects within an organization. This approach ensures uniformity and consistency, making it easier to maintain security standards across different projects. Key capabilities include:
Centralized Management: A dedicated section within the administration interface to add, edit, or delete scan configurations.
General Configuration: A lightweight, language-independent configuration page listing all Common Weakness Enumerations (CWEs) supported by Mend, allowing for quick selection of desired CWEs.
Language-Specific Configuration: Fine-tune settings per programming language or add custom sources, sinks, and sanitizers.
Default Path Exclusions: Manage path exclusions to streamline scans and reduce noise.
Predefined Mend Configurations: Utilize predefined configurations tailored for various compliance standards (e.g., PCI, OWASP Top 10) or specific application types (e.g., web apps, CLI).
The global configuration simplifies onboarding for less mature organizations by providing best practice templates, such as configurations for only high-severity CWEs. This ensures that AppSec Managers can start small and scale their security measures as needed.
Project-Level Configuration for Code Scans
While the global configuration provides a centralized approach, project-level configurations allow for detailed customization at the individual project level. This flexibility is crucial for tailoring scans to the specific needs of each project. However, with the introduction of global configurations, project-level configurations are streamlined to ensure consistency and ease of management.

Boards everywhere are asking what they should be doing about cybersecurity. Ensuring the adequacy of a company's cybersecurity program is a critical part of a director's risk oversight responsibilities, yet most board members may not be as familiar with the components of a cybersecurity program as they are with operational and financial issues.
Driving awareness of cybersecurity and physical security threats and linking them to risk, governance and compliance is critical to providing the directors the information necessary to fulfill those duties. The vulnerabilities that threat actors can exploit are being attacked in an increasingly sophisticated manner and represent a significant strategic threat to the security of our nation, its economy and the welfare of its businesses. The specifics are constantly changing, so the board should be alerted to how a company keeps up with the changes.
Board members can't be expected to understand all the technical nuances of cyber and physical security, just like any other part of the business operations, but they should know the basics: what the vulnerabilities are, what measures are in place to minimize the potential for a breach or attack, and what response and recovery plans are in place should an attack be successfully executed. As most cybersecurity experts continually reinforce, a cybersecurity breach is not a matter of “if” but “when.”
Assessing the risks
While complete assurance can never be provided in this arena, companies should take all reasonable and appropriate steps to safeguard the enterprise, customers and stakeholders. Each company should have a cybersecurity plan that protects their infrastructure and data. The first important step is to understand the critical assets that need to be protected. Most organizations have limited resiliency and can't protect all assets 100 percent. Boards should ask the question: How has the company determined what the most critical assets are? Then they need to ask what is the risk profile the organization needs to have operating in cyberspace and how do we mitigate against those risks. Look at it from a business project perspective and ask what are the companies' key projects and focus spending on the areas that are most important to the organization.
Pepco Holdings Inc. (PHI), an electric utility holding company, faces daily intentional and unintentional cyber, physical and human threats to our critical infrastructure. To address these threats, our company invests an extensive amount of time, resources and capital to secure our critical assets to provide the greatest level of assurance and reliability to our customers. This plan includes education and awareness, policies and procedures that address security and protection of systems and data, and the development of solutions with security in mind. Within this framework, cybersecurity risk mitigation is not just about the deployment of technology but an approach that addresses matters of people and processes as well.
It is important that companies see security as a journey rather than a destination. Hacker tools and techniques are constantly evolving; so too must the defenses that companies put in place. PHI, like most companies, relies on multiple layers of defense, breaking our program into four logical categories of activities:
⢠Preparedness, focused on user awareness and information gathering.
⢠Prevention, focused primarily on matters of technical design and system monitoring.
⢠Response, focused on the identification of and response to threats.
⢠Recovery, focused on the steps taken in the immediate aftermath of a successful attack. For example, PHI takes an all-hazards approach to emergency preparedness. It deals with emergencies and crises that may impact communities and the environment by using the same set of management arrangements, including both natural and man-made hazards.
While security threats are incorporated into PHI's Incident Command Structure, there are complexities to a cyber attack that are recognized and factored into response planning. No silver bullet exists; multiple layers of protection are required, from preparedness and prevention to response and recovery.
The security of the electric system infrastructure is and remains of great significance to the industry. As technology capabilities grow, potential threats grow as well, therefore the industry as a whole is placing increased emphasis on cybersecurity. As with any crisis that affects a company, the company must have a plan to address that crisis.
Cybersecurity plans are crucial to the continued operation of many of our systems, including the infrastructure used to deliver electricity to our customers. As with any hazard, PHI plans for and prepares to respond to a cybersecurity event. The planning process is designed to first mitigate the risk where possible, then, through situational awareness detect a potential event as soon as possible and respond in a manner that prevents further damage and reduces the impact of the event.
Participating in voluntary government- and industry-led initiatives to improve coordination with the government and to identify and test for vulnerabilities is also critical. The partnership between the government and affected industries is vital to ensure preparation and readiness, to work together to protect against cyber threats.
Tabletop exercise for the board
Recently, along with my fellow board members, I had the opportunity to participate in a cybersecurity tabletop exercise. The exercise was an audit of PHI's response process, a crucial piece of a cybersecurity plan. The objective of the exercise was to demonstrate the company's emergency response logistics, including the involvement and role of the board of directors.
To demonstrate the complexities of incident response we walked through the events that would take place within the first 24 hours of a security event, consisting of a confidential briefing of the PHI CEO by the FBI to the briefing of the board in leading up to and the aftermath of a catastrophic event. The benefits of the exercise were clear to board members:
⢠Board members gained a clear understanding of how the process will work and who is responsible for what. Utilities deal with weather events on a regular basis so they tend to have a strong Incident Command Structure (ICS) in place. PHI's ICS was developed to standardize its response approach to large-scale incidents. The ICS is a standardized, on-scene, all-hazard incident management concept, which allows responders to adopt an integrated organizational structure to match the complexities and demands of incidents. PHI's ICS is designed to:
— Meet the needs of incidents of any kind or size;
— Allow personnel from a variety of agencies to meld rapidly into a common management structure;
— Provide logistical and administrative support to operational staff;
— Be cost effective by avoiding duplication of efforts.
This structure helps ensure full utilization of resources. Because a cyber response is different, PHI formed a dedicated cyber response team that has been integrated within the ICS and is activated only during cyber events. The team is composed of subject matter experts from multiple functions across the organization. The structure is intended to drive better situational awareness during a cyber event through intentional collaboration between groups that typically work separately.
⢠In the event of an incident, the board now understands the process and knows who is essential to the situation and can answer questions. Typically, during crisis events, boards tend to dig in and ask a lot of questions. The cyber tabletop exercise gave the board an opportunity to learn how the process will work. More time during a crisis can then be focused on the crisis at hand. This should result in board members having a clear understanding of what their role would be during a cyber event and how much notification or involvement they would have in the process. We could fulfill our duties — duty of care, duty of loyalty — without needing to be involved in the gritty details.
⢠The event gave the board members a feel for how an incident might lead up to a full-blown event. We now have a better understanding of how federal agencies would interact with the company during an event, how we would initially react to an incident, and how it would escalate.
⢠As with all exercises, we had the opportunity to learn and improve upon the drill. We identified items during the exercise that require board follow-up. Importantly, coordination with federal agencies and differences in regulatory reporting requirements regarding disclosures of a cyber incident should be worked out ahead of time. An active emergency response is not the best time to resolve issues.
The plan is sound
A tabletop exercise can provide a board an increased level of confidence that a company's plan for responses and recovery is sound.
Board members benefit from understanding how cyber events are similar to and differ from weather events or other crises. It's important that the company's strategic direction must be coordinated to respond at a tactical level — for example, a dedicated cyber response team that has been integrated within the ICS. The structure ensures that customers, community leaders and employees have access to timely, accurate and consistent information to help ease the inconvenience and disruption caused by a crisis or other major events affecting the company. It encompasses multiple tactics, with an understanding that it is as relevant and important to provide information during a major event as it is to maintain and restore the company's electrical service.
With so much at stake — financial loss, infrastructure and operational disruption, legal liability, and harm to corporate reputation — the question for directors is not whether to become involved in cybersecurity risk management but how to appropriately oversee their company's initiatives.
Given the heightened awareness of these rapidly evolving risks, directors must take seriously their responsibility to ensure that management has implemented effective risk management protocols and has an effective cybersecurity program that includes identification of critical assets, preparedness, prevention, response and recovery. Participation in a cyber tabletop exercise is one method for the board to gain an understanding of your company's readiness to respond to an incident, as well as the board's role during a crisis.

Protection of Public Events: Conferences, Congresses, Business Forums
We've all had the chance, whether we wanted to or not, to take part in all sorts of public events, be it a well-planned rally, a festive demonstration, a sport event, or attending a concert by a popular star.
And as you may have noticed such events are quite well guarded. Especially if they involve people with a name, who have both followers and support, and enemies who are able to influence a certain audience and bring chaos to the event. In order to avoid this, professional security agencies are invited who are able to stabilize the situation even if it is tense to the limit.
Features of security for conferences, business forums, congresses, etc.
Kiev is the city where such events are held most often. Security company TOPGUARD, which is often involved for their protection, has vast experience in organizing security measures. According to the company's management, the main difference between the protection of conferences, business forums, congresses, and shareholder gatherings from the protection of other forms of mass events is that each of their participants is a specially invited guest, who, in fact, has the status of a VIP person.
Based on this, the organizers of such events must solve two key safety problems. The level of service in relation to such important guests must be impeccable, the approach must be individual, while it is necessary to ensure the overall safety of the event and the safety of each individual guest. Both organizers and guests are interested in this.
It is important to remember that people with this status do not really like to go through the necessary procedures related to security: this includes checking documents, and passing through a metal detector frame, inspecting things for prohibited items, etc. Therefore, the service must be professional: unobtrusive, but at the same time efficient and effective. Another nuance, guests come to such events in very expensive cars, which means that their safety is also the responsibility of the security personnel. In addition, during the work of forums, conferences, congresses, a large amount of high-tech equipment is used, and the documentation with which the invited persons work or get acquainted is often invaluable. Therefore, here, too, it is required to ensure its safety, be it in paper form or on electronic media.
It is clear that to ensure this level of security, high-profile specialists with relevant experience and skills are needed. In this case, the level of protection must correspond to the level of the bodyguard.
To organize the security of such events, Topgard has a specially selected group of security guards who are distinguished by their coordination in actions, the ability to work with complex technical equipment, from metal detectors at the entrance to a defibrillator or an oxygen concentrator for first aid. (By the way, a professional paramedic is always present at events of this level).
In order for the security of the event to be unobtrusive and at the same time effective, the Topgard team uses closed radio communication systems with a hidden headset to conduct negotiations without disturbing the guests. Plus, a special mobile post is used using a closed Wi-Fi system. The post allows you to work with remote wireless sensors for opening / closing doors, sensors for movement, and conducting zonal video surveillance.
In the rooms for confidential negotiations, if such are suggested by the program of the event, a special check is carried out for the presence of eavesdropping devices and special equipment is installed, which negates the possibility of information leakage. For this, Topgard also has a technical support team licensed by government intelligence agencies to work with such devices.
Also, the responsibilities of the security service include monitoring compliance with fire safety measures, labor safety of technical personnel involved in the event.
A separate item is a radiological check of the room in which this or that event takes place. The level is monitored throughout the entire time of the event.
For general coordination, both the organizers and the security service, and the security team directly for VIPs, have the opportunity to use a closed communication system and a zone video surveillance system. (What happens in their area of interest, they can track on their smartphones).
Equipment and Communication With Other Services
To suppress illegal actions, security company employees have not only special skills and training, but are also equipped with special weapons. The security guard's outfit includes a gas cylinder with tear gas, a stun gun, handcuffs and a traumatic pistol. If, in the opinion of the organizers and the security officer, the level of threats is above average, then several cars with rapid response teams, which are already armed with firearms, are constantly on duty at the event. At the same time, a high level of communication with the police is maintained.
Often, well-known politicians or high-ranking government officials with whom the state security service works are present at events of this rank. In such cases, it is necessary to solve two problems - to ensure the security of the object and the safety of the protected person or persons, without affecting the comfort of other participants in the event.
The Topgard team has extensive relevant experience and is well known in the state security service. Therefore, the service carries out the tasks of protecting the VIP directly, and the general security of the event is assigned to the employees of TOPGUARD. In such cases, close communication is used between the employees of the state security, Topgarda and the police, which ultimately gives excellent results and makes the event as protected and comfortable as possible for its participants.
What is taken into account when protecting such events
As we can see, in order to achieve the maximum result in ensuring safety at such events, it is necessary to take into account many components. All of them should work in a complex, starting with the management of the security company and the customer, and ending with security guards and technical personnel.
When organizing such events, it should be borne in mind that even if the organizer does not change for them, the events themselves each time differ from each other - and in scale; and the goals they pursue; and by the number and status of persons invited to them. Therefore, each time when designing a security architecture, representatives of the organizer meet with security officers to discuss the general plan of the event. Then everyone goes to the venue, where the security company employees make up their vision of organizing the security system, which is then discussed with representatives of the organizer. Often at the level of discussing the plan, adjustments are made, both by the customer and by the security company. We are interested in doing everything for the client as efficiently as possible, providing him with such resources, technologies that will allow him to negate all possible risks, and to do this at the best price without incurring extra costs.
Why choose TOPGUARD
Let's summarize. What skills and knowledge will Topgard employees have when signing a contract with the company for the provision of security services for such an event, and what, in addition to personnel, is provided by the company.
- ✔ high-class security personnel of the "bodyguard" level;
- ✔ a first aid specialist with the necessary medical equipment;
- ✔ personnel with experience in working with special services, including services that ensure the safety of top officials of the state;
- ✔ all employees of the company have knowledge and skills in first aid;
- ✔ personnel are trained in actions in fire hazardous situations, have skills in handling a fire extinguisher and other fire extinguishing means;
- ✔ personnel who speak foreign languages (when holding an event with the participation of foreign guests);
- ✔ technical support of the event, including closed coded communication, video control system, access control, metal detector frames at the entrance, etc.

We all know how important it is today to protect a company’s infrastructure against cyberattacks. However, the amount of attention and resources that corporations devote to digital security has sometimes overshadowed a critical aspect of physical security, notably in the company mailroom.
Packages and other pieces of mail have increasingly become tools for various forms of attacks, designed to inflict tremendous physical or digital harm and disruption to individuals and businesses.
During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the U.S. Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, opened a mailed letter that contained a white powder. Though the powder turned out to be harmless, Fauci acknowledged that he almost certainly would have been killed if the envelope had instead contained a lethal substance such as ricin.
The danger continues today. Supreme court justices have recently begun to receive suspicious packages and mail threats at their places of residence.
In February of this year, the Missouri Department of Corrections had to evacuate the central office in Jefferson City after a package containing a white powder was delivered to the building. It turned out that the powder was acetaminophen, best known as the main active ingredient of Tylenol, but the incident greatly disrupted normal operations at the building.
U.S. Senator Rand Paul also received a suspicious package containing white powder last year, as did U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar. Although white powders are some of the most common mail threats, they are just one of the many suspect and potentially harmful types of threats that can come through the mail.
This isn’t a new problem. Businesses and critical industries have been especially aware of mail-borne threats since the anthrax attacks of 2001. So why is it that in all of the incidents described above, had the powder been deadly, the response would have been too little, too late? In the eyes of aspiring attackers, these security failures signify that many large corporations are likely unprepared for mail threats. And they’re right.
Context on Overlooked Vulnerability
Mail security isn’t just a challenging concept; it’s often completely overlooked by companies who are far more aware of cyberthreats or the danger of an unauthorized individual coming in the front door than they are of threats coming through the back door; i.e., the loading dock and the mailroom.
Here are some things most businesses haven’t considered with regards to physical goods and mail security.
- First, while cyberthreats are indeed a serious concern for businesses, they don’t cause physical harm to employees. In contrast, the most dangerous types of mail-borne threats are extremely serious and can even be fatal. Explosive devices can detonate when opened or handled. Toxic substances such as ricin, anthrax, or fentanyl can prove fatal if staff members become exposed or the material is released and spread through a building’s HVAC system. Depending on the location, malicious actors might also use the mail to smuggle drugs, as often occurs in prison settings. This has contributed to accidental overdoses in correctional facilities and elsewhere.
- Second, even hoaxes, which are far more common than genuine threats, may still be extremely unnerving and disruptive to businesses. For example, back in 2020, Subway’s headquarters received a package containing white powder, resulting in a police, fire, and hazmat response, evacuation of the facility, and significant publicity with potential impacts to the brand. Again, the powder was harmless, but this disrupted the business and required the office to shut down for the day.
All told, 59% of suspicious mail incidents resulted in disruption and an emergency response in 2021. An incident like that could deal a severe blow to your company’s brand, productivity and morale, not to mention potential harm to employees.
- Third, the growing trend for remote or hybrid work has increased the risk. With so many employees working from home in companies that allow employees to have personal deliveries shipped to the workplace, incoming packages could be left unattended for a number of days.
- Fourth, failing to address this critical physical security vulnerability impacts cyber security as well. There’s a new vector of attack through the mail in the form of physical hacking devices; for example, a miniature computer like a Raspberry Pi, or even a USB as the FBI recently warned. Cybercriminals can send a hacking device through the mail, which can gain access to local wifi networks once onsite, and then connect to it remotely to gain access to company networks, or an employee might unknowingly grant access by plugging in a USB that has been disguised to look like it came from a reputable source.
These types of Trojan horse-style attacks, called phygital attacks or “warshipping,” present a major threat to companies today, since hacking a network with direct access is considerably easier than hacking it remotely.
With remote and hybrid work, a warshipping hacking device can sit on an employees’ desk collecting data for days or weeks before anyone even notices the intrusion. Or a disgruntled former employee can ship a package to the company with a wrong address so that the package will get returned to the sender, likely after a lengthy processing time, during which the device can do considerable harm while sitting in the building.
All in all, there are a lot of ways neglecting mail security can hurt your organization. It’s high time for companies to take notice and come up with strategies to respond.
Improving Mail Security
The good news is that the right combination of resources and procedures can significantly improve mail security. Your first step is to develop well-considered mail security policies. Start by creating a policy that prohibits staff from receiving personal mail at work. Once they understand the threat, they’ll be less likely to object.
Also, if you’re reusing packing materials in the mailroom, you should stop immediately. Since warshipping devices can be small enough to fit in between two pieces of cardboard, reusing empty packaging materials can result in an undetected warshipping device staying in your building to do extra damage.
Next, train your employees about how to identify a suspicious package. Packages containing hazardous materials don’t always look like official pieces of mail. Signs to look for include homemade labels, odors or residues, missing return addresses, and oddly shaped packaging.
Another effective method for identifying a suspicious package is 3D mail screening. Using a scanner, operators can quickly detect electronic devices as well as hazardous powders or liquids.
And because these scanners use non-ionizing terahertz rays, or T-rays, they eliminate the risk of harmful X-rays. T-ray scanners are also smaller than X-ray scanners and don’t require specialized training or certification and are therefore easier to implement across large businesses with many locations.
Whatever methods you use, work to create standard workflows and response plans for dealing with suspicious or hazardous packages. Once a package shows up in your mailroom, the first step should be to check for the warning signs mentioned above. If a package seems suspicious, you should have a dedicated expert you can appeal to for a closer look.
And if the package does turn out to be something dangerous, you should have a quick and safe exit plan for employees nearby, as well as a plan to isolate any potential toxic substances so that they do not spread to surrounding areas of your business.
If there’s one thing that’s clear after reading all this, it should be that overlooking mail vulnerabilities can cost your company dearly. Companies need to pay close attention to emerging threats to respond appropriately.
Mail Security Deserves Attention
In the coming years, mail-based attacks will continue and evolve in sophistication. But with the right procedures and resources, companies can effectively protect themselves and their employees from the most dangerous and deceptive threats. This vigilance will ultimately bring the peace of mind that comes from knowing a business is fully prepared for virtually any hazardous package that enters its doors.
All in all, just as you want to protect against vulnerabilities in your network and computer systems, you should strive to protect against mail threats. These threats can negatively impact business operations, lower morale, and damage your employees’ and clients’ faith in your company.

You’ll have trouble connecting with best site peers, because you’re scared to ask questions. It’s common knowledge that private institutions don’t have a clear process for certification. It’s usually quite essential for companies that certify their business processes. CompTIA certifiings Certifications without a clear process “We have ’em always called certified security!” In 2001, Bill Gates put it this way: “I’ve come to realize that certifiements work better when those who aren’t certified are doing it as well. As good as certifiements are, certifiers usually are the smartest person in the chain to know that.” It’s also known as “smart certifier,” no doubt. However knowing that even that is a quick way of saying you should approach your business process authentically to the current certifiying algorithm. It’s important to know that a private company’s business process is different. “You change your values and say you see your vision is worth while.” It’s an unfortunate truth that something that sounds like “change” doesn’t mean anything.

Whether it’s air blown fiber installation or traditional underground fiber optic cable installation, having contractors who know the nuances of the process is essential to ensure success.
Determining the Best Method: Underground vs. Air-Blown Fiber Installation
When it comes to fiber optic installation, two primary methods dominate the industry: underground fiber optic cable installation and air-blown fiber. Both options have their advantages and challenges.
Underground fiber optic cable installation is a more traditional method, involving the laying of cables beneath the earth’s surface. This method provides protection from environmental factors such as weather, but the process can be time-consuming and costly due to the need for extensive trenching.
Air-blown fiber installation, often called jetted fiber, utilizes compressed air to push lightweight cables through pre-existing ducts. This approach enables quicker and more flexible installations, making it ideal for new developments or locations where trenching isn’t an option. It’s especially advantageous for facilities that need frequent updates, as adding more cables can be done without digging.
The Expertise of DAS System Installers
A fiber optic network can also integrate with Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) for improved wireless coverage, especially in large buildings or campuses. DAS system installers are tasked with deploying these complex systems, which improve cellular and Wi-Fi signals. The success of a DAS system installation depends on how well it works with your fiber optic network. Collaborating with contractors skilled in both fiber optic installation and DAS systems ensures seamless integration, resulting in stronger, more reliable wireless connectivity.

Engaging the services of certified fiber installers can greatly enhance the efficiency and functionality of your network. These professionals manage every facet of the installation process, from routing the cables to performing tests and completing final connections. They make sure your system adheres to all the required standards for fast and dependable connectivity.
Professional fiber cable contractors also offer the expertise needed to troubleshoot potential issues during installation. For instance, they can identify potential interference problems and solve them before they affect performance. Additionally, experienced contractors work within regulatory guidelines, ensuring compliance with local building codes and safety standards.
For projects involving jetted fiber or other advanced technologies, hiring skilled fiber cable contractors minimizes unnecessary delays. A good fiber installer can recommend solutions to future-proof your network, keeping it scalable and prepared for technological advancements.
Key Considerations for Your Fiber Optic Installation
Before jumping into the installation process, there are several factors to keep in mind. First, consider the scope of the project and choose a fiber optic installer experienced in projects of similar scale. Whether you need underground fiber optic cable installation for a large office building or air-blown fiber installation for a smaller facility, the right contractor will have the experience necessary to meet your needs.
It’s also essential to communicate your long-term networking requirements with your contractor. Fiber optic systems offer scalability, but only when they are installed with the future in mind. You’ll need a fiber installer who values flexibility and can design the network to accommodate future technological advancements.
Finally, assess the materials and equipment that your selected fiber installation contractors use. The quality of cables, connectors, and other components will directly affect both the network’s performance and its durability.
The Path to Seamless Connectivity
As the world continues to rely on faster and more reliable data transfer, having a robust fiber optic network has become essential. The success of your fiber optic cable installation depends on working with the right professionals, selecting the most appropriate method for your project, and planning for future growth. By choosing certified fiber optic installation contractors and DAS system installers, you set the foundation for a network that meets today’s needs while being prepared for tomorrow’s challenges.

After the visualization improvements introduced in IDA 5.0, we’ll focus on enhancing the brain of IDA 5.1. Here is a first, very preliminary example, of one of the enhancements that will be introduced in our next releases. In its initial analysis, IDA follows, somewhat blindly, the natural flow of the code it examines. The result of such an analysis is shown below, on the left pane. What would happen if IDA discovered that call sub_2128C never returned? The sequence in red would not be created in the first code analyzer passes. It is not before its final pass, when IDA systematically attempts to convert unvisited bytes in the code segments to meaningful opcodes that this bogus code would show up, only to see its arpl instructions rejected as non-sensical by IDA’s heuristics. At this point, another of IDA’s heuristics would be free to reveal the string that’s actually hiding in the code segment, as shown below on the right pane.
The astute reader will probably notice that there is still room for improvements. Check back later to discover how IDA 5.1 will deal with this less obviously rotten code…

Introduction to MPLS
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a versatile and powerful networking technology that has revolutionized how data flows across networks. MPLS facilitates efficient and reliable data transmission by utilizing labels to route packets, making it a crucial component for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and large enterprises.
Enterprises and ISPs primarily leverage MPLS to optimize network performance and maintain business continuity. It reduces routing complexity by categorizing data packets with labels. This approach simplifies data flow and brings noticeable improvements in speed and reliability, which are essential in today’s fast-paced digital landscape.
Advantages of MPLS for Modern Networks
MPLS offers several benefits over traditional networking methods, including faster data transmission, better bandwidth utilization, and improved quality-of-service (quality of service). For those looking to dive deep into the specifics, a comprehensive guide to multiprotocol label switching can provide extensive insights into its workings and benefits. MPLS is preferred for real-time applications like VoIP, video conferencing, and other latency-sensitive services.
Improved Efficiency and Speed
Unlike traditional networking routes that require multiple hops to reach their destination, MPLS enables data to follow a predetermined, direct path. This minimizes delays and significantly boosts network performance. The result is an enhanced user experience, particularly for applications requiring high bandwidth and low latency.
One of MPLS’s standout features is its scalability, which makes it an ideal solution for businesses experiencing growth or fluctuating network demands. Scaling a traditional network often involves extensive reconfiguration and significant infrastructure investment. However, MPLS networks can easily accommodate new sites and higher traffic volumes without excessive overhead costs or interruptions.
MPLS vs. Traditional Networks
Compared to older networking technologies like Frame Relay and Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), MPLS stands out due to its flexibility and efficiency. Traditional networks often need help with high latency, packet loss, and limited scalability. These limitations can hinder network performance, especially for modern enterprises that rely heavily on uninterrupted, high-speed data transfer.
Frame Relay and ATM Limitations
Technologies like Frame Relay and ATM were influential in their prime but must be more suited to today’s dynamic networking needs. High latency, packet loss, and jitter are common issues that plague these traditional networks. In contrast, MPLS uses label-switching techniques to provide more reliable and efficient data transfer, making it a superior choice for modern networking requirements.
Key Applications of MPLS
MPLS supports various applications, extending beyond essential data transfer to include more complex and critical functions. In cloud computing, MPLS enables seamless, high-speed access to cloud resources. This is particularly important for organizations that rely on cloud-based platforms and services for day-to-day operations. Additionally, MPLS enhances the quality of VoIP services by reducing latency and packet loss, resulting in more transparent and reliable communication.
For businesses that depend on video conferencing, MPLS provides the bandwidth and quality of service to support high-definition video streams without interruption. This makes remote collaboration more effective and dependable. Reliable connectivity is fundamental for remote work solutions, ensuring employees can access necessary resources and communicate efficiently, regardless of location. This informative article provides further reading on how cloud computing reshapes enterprise networks.
MPLS and Network Security
One of MPLS’s core benefits is its ability to enhance network security. Operating on private infrastructure, MPLS reduces exposure to potential cyber threats compared to traditional routing methods that often traverse public infrastructure. This inherently secure environment makes MPLS an attractive option for businesses concerned with data protection.
Secure Data Transmission
MPLS networks can be tailored to prioritize sensitive information, ensuring this data travels through the most secure and efficient paths. This bolsters data integrity and adds a layer of security against potential cyber-attacks. By leveraging VPN support, MPLS can securely segregate sensitive data, enhancing an organization’s cybersecurity posture.
Steps to Implementing MPLS
- Evaluate your network requirements and performance goals to determine if MPLS is the right choice for your organization.
- Select a reliable MPLS service provider with a proven track record and the necessary expertise to meet your needs.
- Plan and design the MPLS infrastructure, ensuring it is tailored to your organization’s requirements and future growth projections.
- Implement quality of service policies to prioritize traffic and optimize network performance for critical applications effectively.
- Monitor and optimize the network post-deployment to ensure it meets performance expectations and can adapt to changing demands.
For additional insights into selecting the best connectivity providers, this resource can help guide your decision-making process.
The Future of MPLS Technology
As business networks continue to evolve, so too will MPLS technology. Future advancements will likely include software-defined networking (SDN) integration and virtualization (NFV) network functions. These innovations promise even greater flexibility, control, and cost efficiency, ensuring that MPLS remains a cornerstone of modern network infrastructure.
Looking ahead, MPLS’s adaptability makes it well-suited to handle emerging technologies and networking demands. As more businesses move toward cloud-based solutions and remote work setups, MPLS will continue to play a pivotal role in ensuring reliable and secure connectivity. This adaptability, coupled with ongoing advancements, positions MPLS as an enduring solution for the complex networking challenges of tomorrow.

Load Balancer Management
Create and manage load balancers to provide automated traffic distribution from one entry point to several servers reachable from a virtual cloud network (VCN).
For the purposes of access control, you must specify the compartment where you want the load balancer to reside. Consult an administrator in your organization if you're not sure which compartment to use. For information about compartments and access control, see Managing Compartments.
See Proxy Protocol for information on how to use this feature with load balancers.
You can perform the following load balancer management tasks:
When you create a load balancer within a VCN, you get a public or private IP address, and provisioned total bandwidth. If you need another IP address, you can create another load balancer.
A private load balancer requires only one subnet to host the primary load balancer and a standby. The private IP address is local to the subnet. The load balancer is accessible only from within the VCN that contains the associated subnet, or as further restricted by the security list rules. The load balancer can route data traffic to any backend server that's reachable from the VCN.
The essential components for load balancing include:
A load balancer with pre-provisioned bandwidth.
A backend set with a health check policy. See Backend Sets for more information.
Backend servers for a backend set. See Backend Servers for more information.
One or more listeners . See Listeners for more information.
Load balancer subnet security rules to allow the intended traffic. To learn more about these rules, see Security Rules.
Optionally, you can associate any listeners with SSL server certificate bundles to manage how the system handles SSL traffic. See SSL Certificates for more information.
For information about the number of load balancers you can have, see Service Limits.
To implement a working load balancer, you need:
For a public load balancer in a region with several availability domains , you need a VCN with a public regional subnet or at least two public AD-specific subnets. In the latter case, each AD-specific subnet must reside in a separate availability domain. For more information on subnets, See VCN and Subnet Management and Public IP Address Ranges.
You can't specify a private subnet for a public load balancer.
For a public load balancer in a region with only one availability domain, you need a VCN with at least one public subnet.
For a private load balancer in any region, you need a VCN with at least one private subnet.
Two or more backend servers (compute instances) running applications. For more information about compute instances, see Creating an Instance.
Private IP Address Consumption
A public load balancer created in one public regional subnet consumes two private IPv4 addresses from the host subnet. The primary and secondary load balancers reside within the same subnet. Each load balancer requires a private IPv4 address from that subnet. The Load Balancer service assigns a floating public IPv4 address, which doesn't come from the host subnet. If the load balancer is enabled for IPv6, it receives an IPv6 address from the host subnet.
A public load balancer created in two public AD-specific subnets consumes two private IP addresses, one from each host subnet. The primary and secondary load balancers reside within different subnets. Each load balancer requires one private IP address from its host subnet. The Load Balancer service assigns a floating public IPv4 address, which does not come from the host subnets. If the load balancer is enabled for IPv6, it's assigned an IPv6 address from the host subnet.
A private load balancer created in a single subnet consumes three private IP addresses from the host subnet. The primary and secondary load balancers reside within the same subnet. Each load balancer requires a private IP address from that subnet. The floating private IP address also comes from the host subnet. Internet communication with a load balancer enabled for IPv6 and created in a private subnet is prohibited. You can't create a globally routable IPv6-enabled load balancer in a private subnet.
You can't specify the private IP addresses that are used when you create a load balancer. Instead, you're limited to the IP addresses that the load balancer is assigned. After you create the load balancer, the IP address used for client traffic doesn't change. The IP addresses used to communicate with the backend servers might change over the life of the load balancer. To use different IP addresses that are randomly generated, create a new load balancer.
Configuration Changes and Service Disruption
For a running load balancer, some configuration changes lead to service disruptions. The following guidelines help you understand the effect of changes to your load balancer.
Operations that add, remove, or modify a backend server create no disruptions to the Load Balancer service.
Operations that edit an existing health check policy create no disruptions to the Load Balancer service.
Operations that trigger a load balancer reconfiguration can produce a brief service disruption with the possibility of some terminated connections.
Proxy Protocol for Load Balancers
Load balancers with TCP-based listeners can use the proxy protocol feature to send source and destination IP addresses and ports to their backend servers across layers of network address translation (NAT) or TCP proxies. Use proxy protocol to support network requirements such as application security (IP ACLs) and compliance logging.
When you select the proxy protocol option when creating a load balancer (or updating an existing one), you're prompted to select one of the following options:
Version 1: Supports a human-readable header (text) format and is typically a single line of a log entry. Use this option for debugging during the early adoption stage when few implementations exist.
Version 2: Combines support for the human-readable header from Version 1 with a binary encoding of the header for greater efficiency in producing and parsing. Use this option for IPv6 addresses, which are difficult to generate and parse in ASCII form. Version 2 also better supports custom extensions.
Both versions implement the protocol as a parsable header that's placed by the connection initiator at the beginning of each connection. The protocol doesn't expect the sender to wait for the receiver before sending the header. It also doesn't wait for the receiver to send anything back.
Proxy protocol for load balancers only supports the PP2 Type Authority option for Transport Layer Security (TLS) Server Name Indication (SNI) support. This support is useful when the load balancer terminates the SSL connection rather than the backend servers. This functionality is similar to the X-Forwarded-Host option for TCP.
Ensure that your backend applications expect and can parse the Proxy Protocol version 2 header before enabling proxy protocol on your load balancer. To get more information on proxy protocol version 2, go to the HAProxy website.

As we observe Cybersecurity Awareness Month this October, it's crucial to address a growing concern in our digital landscape: the dual-edged nature of artificial intelligence (AI). While AI's capabilities can revolutionize sectors by driving innovation and efficiency, its potential for misuse is equally significant. Malicious actors are increasingly exploiting AI to orchestrate complex attacks, ranging from deepfakes to sophisticated phishing schemes and beyond.
AI's transformation from a tool of innovation to an instrument of disruption is stark. Cybercriminals are utilizing AI to enhance their malicious endeavors with alarming precision. For instance, AI-driven deepfakes pose a significant threat by creating realistic audio and visual forgeries, potentially undermining political stability and public trust. These manipulations are not just hypothetical scenarios; they have already impacted real-world events and individuals, influencing public opinion through fabricated representations of political leaders.
Phishing attacks, too, have evolved with AI. Gone are the days of easily identifiable scam emails. Today, thanks to large language models (LLMs), phishing attempts are becoming indistinguishable from legitimate communications, often impersonating high-level executives to solicit fraudulent transactions. Moreover, AI facilitates the scaling and automation of cyber attacks. It allows cybercriminals to swiftly identify vulnerabilities across vast digital landscapes, making traditional defense mechanisms inadequate against such rapid exploits.
Despite the daunting capabilities of AI in the hands of adversaries, it remains our most potent ally in cybersecurity defense. AI-driven security systems are revolutionizing how threats are detected and mitigated, offering real-time processing of extensive data sets to unearth subtle, unusual patterns that preempt potential breaches.
Automated monitoring solutions powered by machine learning are crucial for identifying deviations in network behavior, providing critical response times that human oversight alone could never match. Additionally, AI's role in endpoint protection is evolving from signature-based methods to behavior analysis, enabling the proactive identification of novel threats.
The reality is stark—AI's role in both creating and combating cyber threats will only expand. As cybersecurity professionals, our challenge is to leverage AI constructively while remaining vigilant against its potential misuse. The synergy of human expertise with AI's analytical prowess offers a formidable defense against the evolving arsenal of cyber threats.
This Cybersecurity Awareness Month, let's commit to not only understanding AI's risks but also to exploiting its full potential to fortify our defenses. Our goal is to ensure that AI remains a force for good, safeguarding our digital futures against the escalating pace of cyber warfare.

The investment in Chayora provides EdgeConneX customers with an ideal data center partner that can support their digital infrastructure requirements in China. At the same time, the EdgeConneX global platform can support Chinese firms that have international requirements. It’s a win-win for customers as EdgeConneX and Chayora can provide a comprehensive data center platform domestically in China and internationally in any global market that can support a full spectrum of hyperlocal to hyperscale deployments.”
EdgeConneX’s strategic investment in Chayora marks another milestone for the company after having secured earlier funding from Actis, who will remain as the major shareholder in the company post the initial completion of the transaction. Thomas Liu, Partner of Actis, commented: “We are delighted for Chayora to establish this strategic partnership with EdgeConneX through the investment. As a global sustainable infrastructure investor with a long history of investing in China, we look forward to working closely with the EdgeConneX team to jointly support Chayora’s endeavor in expanding and growing its business in the China data center market.”
In a data center market that is forecast to triple in size by 2025, Chayora has an existing hyperscale, carrier-neutral data center campus serving Beijing and a new campus in Shanghai that is under development. The facilities across the two campuses can jointly scale to over 200MW IT load with access to 100% renewable energy, and Chayora also has the ability to expand into other leading Chinese markets. Chayora holds all relevant licenses to operate and connect its data centers and provide cloud services access to 100% renewable energy.
“China represents the largest and one of the most challenging markets for global digital infrastructure users and through the team we have built in Chayora, we can address all demands, to any scale for the world’s largest data center customers,” said Oliver Jones, CEO of Chayora Holdings. “We are therefore delighted to bring EdgeConneX in alongside our existing institutional investment partner Actis as the global reach and recognition of the EdgeConneX track record and approach will help accelerate our expansion. We are also excited by the investment deal we have agreed in terms of assured capital availability at ‘China-scale’ to suit the characteristics of our principal market. Our team’s values and those of EdgeConneX are a close fit and this will be immensely valuable as we both take a big step forward together.”

A network administrator investigates a user problem. The user can reach hosts on the same network, but is unable to communicate to remote networks.The network administrator tries to ping the gateway address configured on the host device and is unsuccessful. What is the most likely cause of the problem?
- TCP/IP is not installed on the host device.
- The IP address of the user is incorrectly configured.
- The default gateway address is incorrect.
- The address of the remote device is incorrect.
Explanation: The default gateway address is used to forward packets to remote networks. The IP address of the host must be correct because the user can reach other hosts on the same network. The TCP/IP protocol stack is correct because of verified communication to hosts on the same network. The end device could be incorrectly configured, but the most likely cause of the issue is a wrong address for the default gateway.

Two malware families that suffered setbacks in the aftermath of a coordinated law enforcement operation called Endgame have resurfaced as part of new phishing campaigns. Bumblebee and Latrodectus, which are both malware loaders, are designed to steal personal data, along with downloading and executing additional payloads onto compromised hosts. Tracked under the names BlackWidow, IceNova, Lotus, or Unidentified 111, Latrodectus, is also considered to be a successor to IcedID owing to infrastructure overlaps between the two malware families. It has been used in campaigns associated with two initial access brokers (IABs) known as TA577 (aka Water Curupira) and TA578.
More than two-thirds (68%) of cybersecurity professionals across Europe are facing burnout, potentially leaving businesses at risk of attack, new research has warned. A report from SoSafe report found of the 1,250 security leaders surveyed, around one-third each reported severe burnout (32%) and moderate burnout (36%), with the UK standing out for its high stress levels. However, SoSafe is warning vulnerabilities being caused by stressed and burnt out workers is fueling the cybersecurity crisis, with threat actors actively exploiting this section of the landscape to gain access to internal systems and data.
Amid widespread concerns of outside interference influencing the results this year’s presidential election, the head of the country’s cybersecurity agency says election infrastructure is more secure than ever. State and local election officials across the country have made big improvements to strengthen both physical and cyber security at polling and voting locations to preserve election integrity, said Jen Easterly, the director of the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, in an interview with Weekend Edition.
Superintendent Adrienne A. Harris highlighted the dual nature of AI, noting its ability to improve threat detection and incident response strategies, while also providing new avenues for cybercriminals. These guidelines are part of the DFS’s continued efforts to shield New Yorkers and DFS-licensed entities from the evolving dangers of cybersecurity threats. Building on the foundation of the nation-leading cybersecurity regulation (23 NYCRR Part 500), the new guidance also aligns with recent initiatives to prevent discrimination by insurers using AI.
US pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson has disclosed a data breach impacting the personal information of thousands of people. Johnson & Johnson informed the Maine Attorney General’s Office late last week that it had detected a security breach on its network in mid-August 2024. The company launched an investigation and took steps to enhance its security after discovering the intrusion. “The third-party digital forensic investigation determined that your personal information could have been compromised. Specifically, files related to our insurance practice were stored in a J&J network location that was subject to unauthorized activity,” Johnson & Johnson is telling impacted individuals.
