Following a recent decision by the Directorate of Defense of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg to develop its cyber defence capabilities, a cooperation with the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) has been established to support the procurement of training capabilities in order to strengthen the talent of current and future cyber personnel by setting up a cyber range. The NSPA recently awarded Estonian cyber security company CybExer Technologies with a three-year contract for the acquisition of a cyber range. In addition to delivering the platform, CybExer will conduct a series of dedicated trainings and ensure the operation and maintenance of the range throughout the contract period. The cyber security training platform will take advantage of CybExer’s internationally recognised cyber range management tools and offers highly realistic and flexible training environments. The range is designed to be primarily used by NSPA and the Luxembourg Directorate of Defence, but may also be shared with interested Allies and partners. Andrus Kivisaar, CEO of CybExer Technologies, said that winning this contract in such a highly competitive environment represents a reward for the huge efforts provided by CybExer over many years. “We have been focusing on building and improving cyber ranges for years and are glad that our dedication and expertise in the field has been recognised at NATO level. We see that the cybersecurity environment is getting more and more complex. It is good to work with a client who shares our vision and demands a sophisticated cyber range solution,” Kivisaar said. Ben Fetler, cyber security project manager at the Luxembourg Directorate of Defence noted: “Luxembourg has become a key information and...
We can spend a lifetime reading histories of ancient Rome without knowing what any of its emperors looked like. Or rather, without knowing exactly what they looked like: being the leaders of the mightiest political entity in the Western world, they had their likenesses stamped onto coins and carved into busts as a matter of course. But such artist’s renderings inevitably come with a certain degree of artistic license, a tendency to mold features into slightly more imperial shapes. Seeing the faces of the Roman Emperors as we would if we were passing them on the street is an experience made possible only by high technology, and high technology developed sixteen centuries after the fall of the Roman Empire at that. “Using the neural-net tool Artbreeder, Photoshop and historical references, I have created photoreal portraits of Roman Emperors,” writes designer Daniel Voshart. “For this project, I have transformed, or restored (cracks, noses, ears etc.) 800 images of busts to make the 54 emperors of The Principate (27 BC to 285 AD).” The key technology that enables Artbreeder to convincingly blend images of faces together is what’s called a “generative adversarial network” (GAN). “Some call it Artificial Intelligence,” writes Voshart, “but it is more accurately described as Machine Learning.” The Verge’s James Vincent writes that Voshart fed in “images of emperors he collected from statues, coins, and paintings, and then tweaked the portraits manually based on historical descriptions, feeding them back to the GAN.” Into the mix also went “high-res images of celebrities”: Daniel Craig into Augustus, André the Giant into Maximinus Thrax (thought to have been given his “a...
Cyber security is a booming industry with a plethora of opportunities for veterans. Senior Vice President and Chief Security Officer for USAA Gary McAlum is trying to pair the two. Prior to joining the USAA team, McAlum completed 25 years in the US Air Force. He entered the Air Force in 1983 as a Distinguished Graduate of the Air Force ROTC program at The Citadel, Charleston, SC. Throughout his career, McAlum worked in a variety of staff and leadership positions in the information technology career field. He’s done multiple deployments and his accolades are many. Perhaps most impressive? Gary was inducted into the Air Force Cyberspace Operations Hall of Fame in 2016. Now, he’s championing getting more veterans into the cyber security field. WATM had the chance to sit down with McAlum to find out more about why veterans are a good fit for this field… and why this field is a perfect fit for veterans. WATM: USAA is ranked by Forbes as the 6th best employer for veterans. Why are veterans in such high demand for employment in the Cyber Security field? First of all, we’re a company that is focused on serving veterans and the veteran community. We have a commitment to hiring military veterans and their spouses. I spent 45 years in the Air Force and that has made me very knowledgeable about bringing that talent into USAA. Our Cyber Security Team is a very diverse team, we have people who come from other entities from various companies. We have people who we bring in from internship programs but veterans also bring a lot of good...
Linux evil toolkit is a framework that aims to centralize, standardize and simplify the use of various security tools for pentest professionals.LETK (Linux evil toolkit) has few simple commands, one of which is theINIT that allows you to define a target, and thus use all the tools without typing anything else.Is LETK better than setoolkit? Yes and no, there are two that serve thesame thing and in a different way, the Linux Evil Toolkit and an automated attack information automation script. considerations ยง 1 About use This script was made to automate the steps of gathering information about web targets, the misuse and responsibility of the user, to report bugs or make suggestions open a report on github.ยง 2 About simple_scan Automap was replaced by simple_scan, it is lighter and faster, in addition to being less detectable, now it has different modes of execution that make it possible froma quick and simple execution to more complex modes.ยง 3 About Console The output of the script can be extremely long, so see if your console, (gnome-terminal, cmd, konsole) is configured to display 1000 lines (I particularly recommend 10,000 lines), for professional purposes it allows the documentation, it records the commands, exits and formats th e text. Usage NOTE: When you start a pentest, type the INIT command and define the target, or write values in linux-evil-toolkit/config/letk.rb Basics |exit | Close this script |clear | Clear terminal |update | Update Linux evil toolkit |train | Show train in terminal, tuutuu |INIT | Setup global variables |reset | Clear terminal and reset global variables |cover | Cover your tracks on your computer...
Recent research suggests that most languages that have ever existed are no longer spoken. Dozens of these dead languages are also considered to be lost, or “undeciphered” — that is, we don’t know enough about their grammar, vocabulary, or syntax to be able to actually understand their texts. Lost languages are more than a mere academic curiosity; without them, we miss an entire body of knowledge about the people who spoke them. Unfortunately, most of them have such minimal records that scientists can’t decipher them by using machine-translation algorithms like Google Translate. Some don’t have a well-researched “relative” language to be compared to, and often lack traditional dividers like white space and punctuation. (To illustrate, imaginetryingtodecipheraforeignlanguagewrittenlikethis.) However, researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) recently made a major development in this area: a new system that has been shown to be able to automatically decipher a lost language, without needing advanced knowledge of its relation to other languages. They also showed that their system can itself determine relationships between languages, and they used it to corroborate recent scholarship suggesting that the language of Iberian is not actually related to Basque. The team’s ultimate goal is for the system to be able to decipher lost languages that have eluded linguists for decades, using just a few thousand words. Spearheaded by MIT Professor Regina Barzilay, the system relies on several principles grounded in insights from historical linguistics, such as the fact that languages generally only evolve in certain predictable ways. For instance, while a given language rarely adds or deletes an entire sound, certain sound substitutions are likely...
As Cyber Monday approaches, Radmila Blazheska, CMO, SecurityHQ, defines the true impact of security breaches on an organisation’s reputation and how to reduce your chances of attack through damage control. A cyber-attack and with it a potential data breach, will not just ruin a company’s reputation but has the potential to ruin years of effort from a PR and marketing perspective. A data breach would potentially end in financial loss, risk of brand reputation or essentially business closure. Regardless of what industry you are in, or how big your organisation, marketing is at the heart of most companies. It is the department that builds on the brand image, conveys the right ethos and promotes the company values. Marketing is what nurtures client relationships and partnerships. It makes information accessible and businesses stand out. Businesses need and rely on their marketing teams. So, when malicious activity and a single cyber-attack can destroy all this work with one swift move, it is worth dedicating some time to. Reputation Think of everything that makes your company what it is today. All the people, the processes, the technology, the relationships, the branding, everything that ever went into creating what your business represents today. This can be destroyed in an instant. A data breach and with it a PR crisis, has the potential to significantly affect the image of an organisation. Often seen on par with poor customer service, Forbes’ The Reputational Impact of IT Risk report highlighted ‘that 46% of organisations had suffered damage to their reputations and brand value as a result of a breach. Another 19% of organisations suffered reputational and...
