EVERY ATTACK INVOLVES EXPLOITATION OF A WEAKNESS.pdfPriyanka Aash
The document discusses shifting the focus in cybersecurity from vulnerability management to weakness management and attack surface management. It argues that attacks persist because approaches focus only on software vulnerabilities, while ignoring other weaknesses like technological, people and process weaknesses that expand the potential attack surface. A new approach is needed that takes a holistic view of all weaknesses and continuously monitors the entire attack surface to better prevent attacks.
The document summarizes key aspects of the proposed Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 in India, including its scope, definitions, obligations of data fiduciaries, grounds for processing personal data, notice requirements for data principals, and penalties for non-compliance. It outlines categories of entities that would be considered significant data fiduciaries and the additional obligations that would apply to them. The summary also compares some aspects of the proposed Indian law to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union.
Cyber Truths_Are you Prepared version 1.1.pptx.pdfPriyanka Aash
This document discusses cybersecurity threats and SentinelOne's solutions. It begins with questions about an organization's cyber preparedness and budget. It then discusses the cat-and-mouse game between attackers and defenders. The document highlights growing ransomware threats and payments.

It shares industry recognition for SentinelOne and concludes by thanking the audience.
An IT systems outage and distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack impacted an organization called XYZ Ltd. This was followed by a ransom demand email from an anonymous sender threatening to release sensitive project data. When the ransom deadline passed, anonymous hackers released a video on social media and the data breach began receiving media coverage. A customer then contacted XYZ to inquire about the data leak and if their content was impacted. The document outlines discussions between teams at XYZ on responding to the cyber incident and lessons learned.
The CISO Platform is a 10+ year old dedicated social platform for CISOs and senior IT security leaders that has grown to over 40,000 members across 20+ countries.

Artificial Intelligence is providing benefits in many areas of work within the heritage sector, from image analysis, to ideas generation, and new research tools. However, it is more critical than ever for people, with analogue intelligence, to ensure the integrity and ethical use of AI. Including real people can improve the use of AI by identifying potential biases, cross-checking results, refining workflows, and providing contextual relevance to AI-driven results.
News about the impact of AI often paints a rosy picture. In practice, there are many potential pitfalls. This presentation discusses these issues and looks at the role of analogue intelligence and analogue interfaces in providing the best results to our audiences. How do we deal with factually incorrect results? How do we get content generated that better reflects the diversity of our communities? What roles are there for physical, in-person experiences in the digital world?
