Cybercriminals have developed many methods to exploit browser applications in order to obtain individual’s credentials. One such method, Emotet is a Trojan malware that targets windows-based computers and was originally designed to steal sensitive, private information from banking customers. Later versions of this software were modified to enable Emotet to be spread via spam emails. In the latter half of 2018, modifications were made to the Emotet code to add a capability to exfiltrate email. This enhanced Trojan malware entitled TrickBot became the top threat attackers employed to penetrate organizational business networks.

Large data volumes (aka “big data”) coupled with the use of new technologies can greatly increase the amount of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) data collected by an organization. Correspondingly, there has been an escalation of security breaches involving PII data which has contributed to the loss of millions of records over the past few years.… -
It may be difficult to figure out where and how Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its various sub-types (Machine Learning, Deep Learning, etc.) fit into our world as we move into the future. In some cases it seems straightforward; AI/ML speech recognition is astoundingly good and can be applied across many domains in a meaningful way.…Posted: 04/29/2019 12:36:42Journal -
The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) Amass project was originally created when the project lead was showing organizations what they look like on the Internet. During this process, he noticed that the tools available were returning incomplete results relative to what could be discovered manually. With the identification of this gap in capabilities for… -
This report details key concerns discussed during the JFAC/DAU/CSIAC Software Assurance (SwA) Cyber Experiment (CYBEX) on 7 Aug 2018. In addition to evaluating newly developed software SwA guides for program managers and developers, the exchange included addressing/bringing back foundational software/system engineering concepts to address root of fundamental Software Assurance (SwA) issues as well as adopting common language in the areas of functionality and risk in order to identify issues early. Balances/trade-offs of those issues could normalize PM and system developer practices to ensure a resilient capability. The report also has several concerns of getting ahead of technology problems both in development, and the technology itself, especially as Agile concepts rapidly become critical for DoD to achieve technological dominance over its adversaries.

As software development methodologies have evolved the shortfalls and the inefficiencies of traditional software development methodologies have become increasingly apparent. The realization for the need to pursue better methodologies, tools, and architectural approaches has been a major motivation behind the recent DevOps movement. A side effect of the DevOps movement is the explosion of game… -
Innovation Based Ecosystems
Volume 6 Issue 3
New buzz words like 'innovation ecosystems' often symbolize a departure from a legacy system to a more modern system and an underlying shift focus from operations management to service delivery with better user experience, reduce operational cost, minimize disruption, and enable personnel to do more with less. This issue of the Journal of Cyber Security…Posted: 11/01/2018 11:59:22Journal -
