Ishan Jadhwani is something of a wizard. He can hack into the networks of major tech companies, circumvent wi-fi restrictions to access his favorite Netflix shows, and write code for his very own apps. And the 16-year-old does it all while balancing two cyber security jobs and his schoolwork at Riverside High School. “It’s a huge passion for me. To be honest the work doesn’t feel like work. If I could work on it every minute, if school wasn’t there, I would do so,” he said. He’s so highly skilled that he’s led workshops for the IRS, the DIA, the DHS, and CIA employees, teaching about network penetration testing and other cyber security protocols. “Ishan is a phenom,” his former teacher Jenifer Marden said, recalling him as a freshman in her cyber security class two years ago. “Here’s this 14-year-old kid bringing real-life examples into the classroom, telling us about how he does bug bounties for fun.” Bug bounties are awards given to hackers who ethically find and report vulnerabilities in a company’s networks and programs. Jadhwani said his bounties are confidential, but he’s earned a good chunk of change infiltrating networks of popular companies, spanning from the automobile industry to fast food. There’s a decent chance that the average consumer benefits from Jadhwani’s fixes daily. In 2020, Marden was nominated for the National Cyber Security Teacher of the Year award. Representatives from the White House came to observe Marden’s class. She said they were so blown away by a presentation from Jadhwani on using software to crack passwords, that Marden and Jadhwani were invited to present at the...

Where business continuity comes in: why your cyber security must be designed for recovery One of the biggest falsehoods of cyber security is that it is an IT problem. Any cyber breach, whether caused by ransomware or another attack type, is a business continuity issue says Edwin Weijdema In the industry we say there are two types of business: those who have been hacked and those who don’t know they’ve been hacked. Given the inevitability of ransomware striking, organizations must design for recovery. While IT is a fundamental part of this, a business continuity plan brings in elements beyond restoring data and applications. These can also be critical factors in whether your strategy will be successful or not. Rather than looking at technology as the end game when it comes to cyber security success or failure we must view it in the context of a broader business continuity strategy. There are lots of things that must happen before and after the point where we use anti-virus and firewall solutions to identify and repel attacks or backup and recovery solutions to restore data. The first is setting out a clear policy of how the organization will respond in the event of a cyber breach. This involves rigorously testing the decision-making capabilities of your business leaders to ensure they are prepared to lead the company through such an event. Wargaming worst-case scenarios and creating a best practice playbook of how to respond, communicate, and move forward from a cyber security event can stand the business in good stead. Given that the Veeam Data Protection Trends Report 2022 shows that over three...
Video game company Ubisoft has suffered a ‘cyber security incident’ that had a severe impact on games, systems, and services.

Hear from CIOs, CTOs, and other C-level and senior execs on data and AI strategies at the Future of Work Summit this January 12, 2022. Learn more Whether you’re seeking the best location for your next brick-and-mortar store, optimizing warehouse transport routes to cut fuel and maintenance costs, or looking to improve your geomarketing campaigns to incorporate real-world consumer behavior, location and spatial data can play a big role in helping you make better-informed decisions. The global location intelligence market was pegged as a $12 billion industry last year, a figure that’s set to more than double within six years as companies seek to better predict business outcomes using big data. This is something that Carto has been setting out to help with since its inception nearly a decade ago, serving organizations with location intelligence spanning data ingestion, enrichment, analysis, and visualization to better understand not only where things happen, but why. Today, Carto is used by mega corporations such as Mastercard, Coca-Cola, and Vodafone to unlock big data insights. To help it double down on its cloud data integrations and expand its product further across verticals such as retail, telecoms, and logistics, Carto today announced it has raised $61 million in a series C round of funding. Above: Carto: Predicting annual revenues by mixing myriad data points Visualize and understand data Founded out of Madrid, Spain, in 2012, Carto was developed initially as an open source product within a company called Vizzuality, before spinning out as a standalone company called CartoDB and later rebranding as Carto. At its core, Carto is all about creating maps and visualizations out...
March 6, 2022: For over a decade the U.S. Coast Guard has been trying to get a better idea of what potential problems ports and large ships face from hackers. In 2013 the Coast Guard established a Cyber Command. The new CGCC (Coast Guard Cyber Command) quickly discovered that they were barely aware of the extent of the vulnerabilities they were responsible for finding and reporting on. CGCC was responsible for inspecting large container, oil and dry cargo ships that increasingly depend on networked automation systems to run the ships. Ports also have networked software systems for rapidly identifying, unloading and moving cargo out of the port. It was only in the last six years the shipping companies and port operators realized how vulnerable they were. In 2020 Israel attacked the computerized network that handled the management of a major Iranian cargo port, seriously disrupting port operations for several days. This was in retaliation for less successful Iranian attacks on Israeli utilities. In 2017 Maersk, one of the largest shipping companies in the world, handling about a fifth of global maritime trade, was hit with a ransomware attack. Maersk has operations in 76 ports worldwide and over 800 large container ships. The software attacks had encrypted all the network files and the hackers demanded $16 million in bitcoin for the decrypt keys. Maersk was advised it was safer to rebuild their network, a process that took ten days and cost Maersk over $200 million in losses due to delayed cargoes. A variant of that software destroys rather than encrypts files and was used by Russia against Ukraine in 2018....
