Is The AI Hype Putting Businesses At Risk?

From the report, “In this paper, we discuss that while ML has proven to be a powerful tool in detecting malware for many years, the reality is that true AI does not yet exist. The marketing tricks of next-gen vendors are simply making matters all the more confusing for IT decision makers who need to build robust cyber security defences at a time when the threat landscape is becoming all the more precarious.”

2017 State Of The Software Supply Chain

This 2017 report has similarities to previous years, but there are three differences worth noting. First, the analysis in this year’s report extends beyond Java and includes supply chain findings for JavaScript, NuGet, Python, and Docker. Second, this year’s paper includes a stronger emphasis on the emergence of DevOps and reflects on the evolution of modern IT organizations as they seek to transform from waterfall-native to DevOps-native software development. Lastly, this year’s research delves deeper into the rapidly evolving role of regulation, legislation, and litigation with respect to open source governance and software supply chain management.

Seize and Desist?

When law enforcement announced the seizure of AlphaBay in July 2017, the United States Attorney General Jeff Sessions described the operation as: “one of the most important criminal investigations of the year…because of this operation, the American people are safer – safer from the threat of identity fraud and malware, and safer from deadly drugs.” 1 The timing and coordination of the law enforcement operation, known as Operation Bayonet, was a clear success and has contributed to multiple subsequent arrests.2 Almost one year later, the marketplace model appears to be in decline, but the risks to businesses and consumers have not subsided. Instead, this paper demonstrates that cybercriminals have taken to incorporating new processes, technologies, and communication methods to continue their activities.

The Business of Disinformation: A Taxonomy

Since the 2016 U.S. presidential election, the term “fake news” has integrated itself frmly into our daily vernacular. However, fake news is used very broadly to describe: disinformation, propaganda, hoaxes, satire and parody, inaccuracies in journalism, and partisanship. Disinformation campaigns are not limited to the geopolitical realm – its use is far more pervasive. The sheer availability of tools means that barriers to entry are lower than ever. This extends beyond geopolitical to fnancial interests that affect businesses and consumers. This paper presents an overview of these different motivations and tools actors can turn to. In Digital Shadows’ Disinformation Campaign Taxonomy, we lay out the stages used in disinformation campaigns. In doing so, it is possible to develop ways to potentially disrupt these efforts and create greater friction for actors involved.

International Anti-Botnet Guide 2018

From the report, “While the developers of this Guide strongly support the important role that governments play in convening a diverse ecosystem, the imposition of prescriptive, compliance-focused regulatory requirements will inhibit the security innovation that is key to staying ahead of today’s sophisticated threats. Moreover, earlier policy efforts were based on utopian solutions to these threats, premised on the notions that internet service providers (ISPs) can simply shut down all botnets, or that manufacturers can make all devices universally secure. Instead, dynamic, flexible solutions that are informed by voluntary consensus standards, driven by market demands, and implemented by stakeholders throughout the global digital economy, are the better answer to these evolving systemic challenges.”

Cyber Threat Brief: The 2018 FIFA World Cup

Russia will host the 2018 FIFA World Cup from 14 June to 15 July 2018 at 12 different venues throughout 11 host cities, and thousands of foreign visitors are expected to travel to the games. With major sporting events increasingly targeted by physical and cyber threats, we believe that FIFA and their affiliates, spectators, athletes, officials, or other attendees are likely to be confronted by a range of security risks such as protests/demonstrations, hooliganism, financial fraud, and to a lesser extent hacktivism, terrorism, and cyber espionage.

Movement and Modernization: How the Cloud Can Poise Healthcare Organizations for the Future

The purpose of this white paper is to better understand the challenges that healthcare organizations face as they attempt to modernize efforts in the areas of data collection and analysis, value-based care strategies, and patient and caregiver engagement. This report will discuss how outdated technology investments hamper these efforts— especially as hospitals and other healthcare providers attempt to partner with fellow provider organizations, health information exchanges (HIEs), and accountable care organizations (ACOs) to fully take advantage of the shift to value-based care reimbursements.
