Our security and privacy guy is back! More with Dan! We've been talking about VPNs, Encryption, and Quantum computing!

Late last year, speculation around the metaverse fed into a crazy market for virtual real estate. Six months later, values have dropped 80%. What happened? Plus an update on Apple's battle with Ericsson and how some researchers were able to defeat a next-generation encryption strategy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We usually think about the most efficient way to do things while working in production environments. Still, often employees forget about an insecure environment once the work has been completed and they have moved on to another project. “We don't always need to audit things; sometimes you can gauge risk by having a conversation with stakeholders…on how they manage databases,” says Adam Kohnke, Cybersecurity Architect for Charter Next Generation. Adam joins ISACA's Jon Brandt in this episode to discuss his recently released ISACA Journal article, “Managing Security Across Disparate Database Technologies.” Adam breaks down best practices for User Access Management, Encryption, and Logging. He comments on the best ways to start the conversation about security beyond what management considers vital for IT. Tune in now for the full episode!

Come funzionano i più grandi codici della storia, dal cifrario di Cesare alla password del wi-fi".Usciamo dai soliti binari del podcast, e vi consiglio una lettura che mi è davvero piaciuta.https://www.amazon.it/cifrare-funzionano-grandi-cifrario-password/dp/885802298X/

Cryptography comes from the ancient Greek word “cryptos,” meaning “hidden” or “secret.” Encryption is a cybersecurity pillar, a key defense against invasion of our privacy. But it may be underappreciated in practice. Tune in to learn about the growing need for encryption technology to combat the rising tide of cyber-attacks. A recent report by the Port of Los Angeles to the FBI indicated that it suffers from over one million cyber-attacks per day. Dan Draper, CEO and Founder of CipherStash, explains from his home in Sydney, Australia the role of cryptography in protecting sensitive personal and other information. Dan's company provides a data storage platform for sensitive data that uses searchable encryption technology to protect against attacks. Dan discusses how encryption protects personal data and how traditional databases are vulnerable to hacking and other risks. Learn why cryptography is becoming increasingly crucial in guarding data privacy and why Dan is optimistic about the use of encryption even as the age of quantum computing dawns.

Making sure your business has systems in place to withstand cyberattacks is one of the most important actions you need to do. As a business owner, you have an obligation to protect your company's sensitive information, as well as your clients' information. The Equifax data breach of 2017 exposed the personal data of millions of people. As a result, Equifax had to pay $700 million in settlement fees. This is just one of many unfortunate examples. Smaller businesses may be even easier targets, which is why it's very important to have a solid cybersecurity strategy in place. If you're not sure where to start, let's review 6 tips to help you increase your company's cybersecurity to protect your business. 1. Use Secure Passwords and Multi-factor Authentication Not only should you have a strong password to sign into the various platforms and software that your business uses, it's also good practice to change those passwords regularly and use multi-factor authentication. Longer passwords are better—at least 8 characters, with a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Passwords can be hacked with automated software that tries every possible combination, so the longer your password is, the more combinations it has to try. Multi-factor authentication is when you need a password and an additional step. It's also called two-step verification. This reduces the likelihood of a successful attack because there is additional information needed. Typically, this is a code sent to the user's cell phone, or a code generated by a two-factor authentication (2FA) app such as Authy. You can use a password manager to manage the various passwords for your accounts, so you're not reusing the same one, or having to try and remember all the passwords you have for all your accounts. If one account gets hacked, then any other account using the same password can also more easily get hacked. And whatever you do, avoid using the word “password” as your password at all costs. There are many password manger options. Some are: • Dashlane • LastPass • LogMeOnce • Keeper • NordPass • Bitwarden • RememBear • 1Password • PasswordBoss • Enpass • RoboForm • ZohoVault • TrueKey 2. Secure Your Wi-Fi Network Make sure your Wi-Fi is secure and hidden. While your router typically comes with a pre-set password, make sure to change it immediately to something more secure. Additionally, if you offer free Wi-Fi to your guests, create a separate guest network with a different password, so they don't have access to your company's network. You're ultimately responsible for what people do on your network. By securing your guest network with a password, you can control who has access to it and make sure you're not opening up your business to considerable risks. Also check that encryption is enabled on your router. Encryption provides data security for sensitive information, and enabling it scrambles plain text that's sent or stored on the web into unreadable, or “cipher text.” Once it's sent to the end user, the text is unscrambled, or decrypted. If you're out of the office or in a public area, avoid using the free Wi-Fi network. As tempting as it may be to check your email at the airport, there are a lot of potential risks that come with a free public network, such as opening yourself up to hackers. Look for a network that's secured with a strong password, and if you can't find one and absolutely need to hop online, use your phone as a temporarily private hotspot. 3. Backup Your Data Regularly If your system gets hacked, not only will others gain access to sensitive information, but you may lose access to your own data. Backing up your data regularly to the cloud will still give you access to it if anything happens. Ransomware attacks happen by locking you out of your data and preventing access until you pay a ransom fee. If you have a recent copy of your data, you don't need to worry about getting that information back. How often you backup your data depends on your business and how much information you're storing. At the very least, you should back it up after any important task has been completed. Some backup service options are: • https://www.carbonite.com/en/ • https://mozy.com/ • www.mypcbackup.com • www.justcloud.com • www.backupgenie.com • www.zipcloud.com • www5.ibackup.com • www.crashplan.com • www.sosonlinebackup.com • https://www.idrive.com/index.html 4. Create Separate User Accounts for Each Team Member As much as you'd love to retain your team members for as long as possible, the time will sometimes come for them to move on. Hopefully that's on good terms, but in case it's not, it's always safer to make sure you can easily delete their individual user accounts. Having separate user accounts also helps keep track of version history, or who makes changes to what. If anything ever happens to your files or data, you'll be able to track who the last person to make the changes was so you can restore the files. Make sure that when your employees are setting up their user accounts, they understand how to set up a strong password. 5. Encrypt Any Data Sent Via Email Cybersecurity training should be part of any new employee onboarding. This includes training employees on the types of data to send or not to send through email. Any sensitive information, such as login information and passwords, credit card information, or social security information, should never be sent through email. Tools such as Enigmail are useful security tools to encrypt your email. Never email any confidential information to anyone via email. Passwords can be sent through software such as LastPass. The same way you wouldn't want to send sensitive information on a postcard for everyone to see, you should be cautious about what you send through email in case you get hacked. 6. Implement Anti-Virus Software and Firewalls Anti-virus software and firewalls block malicious software from getting into and infecting your computer. They guard your system from any suspicious activity or users trying to make contact with it. It's like a security guard, making sure only the people on your approved list are let in. VPNs mask your identity on the internet and protect your location and online activities. A VPN is like a middleman—when you go to a site, the site sees the VPN's IP address, not your own personal IP address. You get what you pay for, so it's a good idea to pay for a VPN service instead of going with a free one. A decent VPN can cost you between $5-$12 per month, which is a small price to pay for added security. Anti-virus software can protect your computer from things like spyware, adware, or trojan horses. Firewalls, on the other hand, protect your network from suspicious traffic. Together, you have the best chance of fighting cyberattacks from various angles. A few anti-virus software options are: • McAfee • Norton • Total AV • Surfshark • Kaspersky • Bitdefender • AURA • Panda • Avira If you don't already have a cybersecurity strategy in place, now's the time to implement one. Take a look at the systems you have and get a sense of what needs to be done to protect them from all angles, whether that's using two-factor authentication, backing up your data regularly, using a VPN, implementing anti-virus software, or encrypting any sensitive information sent over email. It's your job as a business owner to protect your company and its assets from cyberattacks. Putting in the work now and having the proper tools to build resilience to threats will definitely pay off.

Making sure your business has systems in place to withstand cyberattacks is one of the most important actions you need to do. As a business owner, you have an obligation to protect your company's sensitive information, as well as your clients' information. The Equifax data breach of 2017 exposed the personal data of millions of people. As a result, Equifax had to pay $700 million in settlement fees. This is just one of many unfortunate examples. Smaller businesses may be even easier targets, which is why it's very important to have a solid cybersecurity strategy in place. If you're not sure where to start, let's review 6 tips to help you increase your company's cybersecurity to protect your business. 1. Use Secure Passwords and Multi-factor Authentication Not only should you have a strong password to sign into the various platforms and software that your business uses, it's also good practice to change those passwords regularly and use multi-factor authentication. Longer passwords are better—at least 8 characters, with a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Passwords can be hacked with automated software that tries every possible combination, so the longer your password is, the more combinations it has to try. Multi-factor authentication is when you need a password and an additional step. It's also called two-step verification. This reduces the likelihood of a successful attack because there is additional information needed. Typically, this is a code sent to the user's cell phone, or a code generated by a two-factor authentication (2FA) app such as Authy. You can use a password manager to manage the various passwords for your accounts, so you're not reusing the same one, or having to try and remember all the passwords you have for all your accounts. If one account gets hacked, then any other account using the same password can also more easily get hacked. And whatever you do, avoid using the word “password” as your password at all costs. There are many password manger options. Some are: • Dashlane • LastPass • LogMeOnce • Keeper • NordPass • Bitwarden • RememBear • 1Password • PasswordBoss • Enpass • RoboForm • ZohoVault • TrueKey 2. Secure Your Wi-Fi Network Make sure your Wi-Fi is secure and hidden. While your router typically comes with a pre-set password, make sure to change it immediately to something more secure. Additionally, if you offer free Wi-Fi to your guests, create a separate guest network with a different password, so they don't have access to your company's network. You're ultimately responsible for what people do on your network. By securing your guest network with a password, you can control who has access to it and make sure you're not opening up your business to considerable risks. Also check that encryption is enabled on your router. Encryption provides data security for sensitive information, and enabling it scrambles plain text that's sent or stored on the web into unreadable, or “cipher text.” Once it's sent to the end user, the text is unscrambled, or decrypted. If you're out of the office or in a public area, avoid using the free Wi-Fi network. As tempting as it may be to check your email at the airport, there are a lot of potential risks that come with a free public network, such as opening yourself up to hackers. Look for a network that's secured with a strong password, and if you can't find one and absolutely need to hop online, use your phone as a temporarily private hotspot. 3. Backup Your Data Regularly If your system gets hacked, not only will others gain access to sensitive information, but you may lose access to your own data. Backing up your data regularly to the cloud will still give you access to it if anything happens. Ransomware attacks happen by locking you out of your data and preventing access until you pay a ransom fee. If you have a recent copy of your data, you don't need to worry about getting that information back. How often you backup your data depends on your business and how much information you're storing. At the very least, you should back it up after any important task has been completed. Some backup service options are: • https://www.carbonite.com/en/ • https://mozy.com/ • www.mypcbackup.com • www.justcloud.com • www.backupgenie.com • www.zipcloud.com • www5.ibackup.com • www.crashplan.com • www.sosonlinebackup.com • https://www.idrive.com/index.html 4. Create Separate User Accounts for Each Team Member As much as you'd love to retain your team members for as long as possible, the time will sometimes come for them to move on. Hopefully that's on good terms, but in case it's not, it's always safer to make sure you can easily delete their individual user accounts. Having separate user accounts also helps keep track of version history, or who makes changes to what. If anything ever happens to your files or data, you'll be able to track who the last person to make the changes was so you can restore the files. Make sure that when your employees are setting up their user accounts, they understand how to set up a strong password. 5. Encrypt Any Data Sent Via Email Cybersecurity training should be part of any new employee onboarding. This includes training employees on the types of data to send or not to send through email. Any sensitive information, such as login information and passwords, credit card information, or social security information, should never be sent through email. Tools such as Enigmail are useful security tools to encrypt your email. Never email any confidential information to anyone via email. Passwords can be sent through software such as LastPass. The same way you wouldn't want to send sensitive information on a postcard for everyone to see, you should be cautious about what you send through email in case you get hacked. 6. Implement Anti-Virus Software and Firewalls Anti-virus software and firewalls block malicious software from getting into and infecting your computer. They guard your system from any suspicious activity or users trying to make contact with it. It's like a security guard, making sure only the people on your approved list are let in. VPNs mask your identity on the internet and protect your location and online activities. A VPN is like a middleman—when you go to a site, the site sees the VPN's IP address, not your own personal IP address. You get what you pay for, so it's a good idea to pay for a VPN service instead of going with a free one. A decent VPN can cost you between $5-$12 per month, which is a small price to pay for added security. Anti-virus software can protect your computer from things like spyware, adware, or trojan horses. Firewalls, on the other hand, protect your network from suspicious traffic. Together, you have the best chance of fighting cyberattacks from various angles. A few anti-virus software options are: • McAfee • Norton • Total AV • Surfshark • Kaspersky • Bitdefender • AURA • Panda • Avira If you don't already have a cybersecurity strategy in place, now's the time to implement one. Take a look at the systems you have and get a sense of what needs to be done to protect them from all angles, whether that's using two-factor authentication, backing up your data regularly, using a VPN, implementing anti-virus software, or encrypting any sensitive information sent over email. It's your job as a business owner to protect your company and its assets from cyberattacks. Putting in the work now and having the proper tools to build resilience to threats will definitely pay off.

One of the biggest concerns among cybersecurity people is the advent of quantum computers. The theory is, quantum will be so powerful it will easily crack encryption algorithms conventional computers would take thousands of years to crack. Now, the National Institute of Standards and Technology has issued four cryptographic algorithms researchers believe are quantum resistant. Joining the Federal Drive with details, NIST mathematician Dustin Moody.

The big fear in the data encryption community is the advent of quantum computing. Computers so powerful they can crack any algorithm. The National Institute of Standards and Technology is in the midst of choosing among algorithms those its experts deem most resistant to quantum, as it develops post-quantum cryptography standards. Here with some pointers for federal IT security practitioners who want to better understand this technology, Federal News Network's Tom Temin spoke with the head of quantum cybersecurity at a company called Quantinuum, Duncan Jones.

As many of our readers and listeners already know, the Scotts Bluff County Scanner has been broadcasting over the internet since 2009 and has gone through lots of changes over the years.Scanner enthusiasts, and law enforcement officials both know that eventually the publicly available scanner signal could, and likely will, go encrypted. This means that the general public would simply not be able to get the signal. Only official media outlets will have access to it and they are not allowed to re-transmit it during the live event. There are varying laws as to how much they can use from an archived event in their reporting after the fact.So, someday you will not be able to listen to the Scotts Bluff County Scanner.HOWEVER, that day is not here yet and has not been voted on at the County level.– per scotts bluff county commissionersThe expense to change to all encrypted is enormous, and Scotts Bluff County ALREADY has ENCRYPTED channels installed for both SWAT and WING. The police officers also use their cell phones on many occasions when they don't want something broadcast over the scanner. IF the County would decide to move forward on a proposal of this nature, we predict there would be a large uprising against this huge, seemingly unnecessary expenditure, especially if we already employ encryption and other secure communications techniques.That's GOOD NEWS for those who follow the scanner for various reasons. Many of us believe it should remain classified as public information and encryption should only happen when the officers deem it necessary. We trust their judgement on that call, but the public information should remain public, inasmuch as it does not AID a criminal in the COMMISSION of a CRIME.It should also go without saying too many times, “PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM ANY SCENE WHENEVER POSSIBLE” and “PLEASE YIELD TO ALL EMERGENCY PERSONNEL”.Although the “Scotts Bluff County Scanner” volunteer group is NOT associated with the county or any government agency, we have always had a good working relationship with the county. We have informed them of our full cooperation on the reporting of individuals that are found to be obstructing the scene of any crime, accident or otherwise.If anyone is cited for obstruction, or any other charge related to getting in the way of our dedicated officers, firemen and volunteers, they will earn for themselves a lifetime ban from our facebook page, twitter feed, instagram feed, website and all other @sbcoscanner properties.Now, we titled this article a new era because we have alot going on behind the scenes for you. In case you missed it, we do have a small but growing scanner gear merchandise store where you can purchase T-shirts, Coffee Mugs and Totes. We'll be adding Hats, Hoodies, Tumblers and other cool items in the near future.We are also working hard on a business plan to increase our team and improve our service to the community. For instance, not only do we have a full website for the scanner, but it includes a SPONSORS section that will soon be filling up. That means YOUR BUSINESS could advertise on this fastest growing news service in the valley – The Scotts Bluff County Scanner!If you would like to volunteer to contribute local news to us, please let us know by sending an email through our parent company to Brian Hale, Business Manager at brian@halemultimedia.com directly.Look for more improvements and changes and thank you for following, sharing and listening to the Scotts Bluff County Scanner!

It's a strange situation when someone can hold something hostage from halfway around the world. It's tragic when your own pictures and files are remotely encrypted. But when it's a hospital's system? Ransomware becomes a problem about life or death. Eddy Willems recounts his involvement in defeating an early ransomware attack that targeted AIDS researchers. At the time, there was a way to discover the encryption key. But as Moti Yung warned, asymmetric encryption would change everything. In the years since, ransomware attacks have become much more popular—thanks in part to the rise of cryptocurrencies. While criminals think it's an anonymous way to collect payment, Sheila Warren tells us that the opposite is actually true.If you want to read up on some of our research on ransomware, you can check out all our bonus material over at redhat.com/commandlineheroes.
