Any time an organization deploys a new app, end-users need to build a new set of credentials to recall. The outcome for staff? Too many passwords to remember. In reality, the average user needs to recall at least ten passwords a day but s/he forgets up to three of them every month.
The evolving challenges in identity management, in particular those related to identity theft, fraud, and other forms of identity abuse, have led to a new approach to identity management, now known as Federative Identity Management (FIM). Federated Identity Management is a relatively new concept that is part of an ongoing trend in identity management, an automated approach to managing identities such as passports, driving licenses, social security numbers, birth certificates, etc. …
In computer security, a cold boot attack is a type of side-channel attack in which an attacker with physical access to a computer performs a memory dump of a computer’s random access memory by performing a hard reset of the target machine.
Security researchers have discovered a new technique for stealing sensitive data on computers and will detail how cold-start attacks can use computer firmware to allow attackers to recover passwords, credit card numbers, and other sensitive information stored in them. As we have known since 2008, cold-start attacks on encryption keys or cold-start attacks can steal the encryption key of a computer from an attacker with physical access to a machine, which remains briefly in memory after a hard reboot. …
It is clear that something must be done to help the security community assess, test, and control the level of security of embedded systems. Infected targets consume more power than a cleaned target device because the malware performs additional computing tasks that require additional power to the target device’s processor.
The machine learning module can detect malware by analyzing the aggregate power consumption of FPGA hardware. For example, it can detect 60 Hz network activity periods that can correspond to RAM scraping malware. The server can then perform an analysis of power consumption, memory consumption, and memory usage by the API calls.
The first step is to find the leading Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) that lead to the creation of the malware and its execution on the FPGA hardware.
Collecting more API calls that can provide more information about the malware, and finding complex relationships between API calls can improve performance. In addition to analyzing API calls, it is also possible for malware to generate system calls. This approach is used in cases where lightweight antivirus modules do not have the heuristic analyzer required to adequately assess the risk of suspicious objects. …
This year, definitely, no one has had a break from cyber-attackers. Even Covid-19 couldn’t stop them. Quite the opposite, during the pandemic, the attacks were increased dramatically. Data breaches, network penetrations, data and identity theft, and ransomware outbreaks have all taken place in 2020.

The overall goal of the dynamical system at any layer is to make the best prediction of the representation in the layer below using the top-down information from the layers above and the temporal information from the previous states.
The brain is thought to seek to minimize value differences, and artificial networks are capable of both driving connections and conveying predictive information.
Computer models of predictive coding neuroscience can offer predictive capabilities and be classified into hierarchical deep neural networks. I think there is a very important feature of machine learning, namely the prerogative of a predictive neural network. Because of this characteristic, these networks are unable to perform effective incremental learning and are therefore unable to convey real predictable trust in the signal. The model is used to generate predictions of sensory input that are compared to actual sensory input. …
Annual costs from ransomware attacks are estimated to exceed $ 20 billion by 2021, according to the Cybersecurity Ventures report. While many companies mistakenly believe that they are too small to be a target, the statics show the other way.
What is Ransomware?
Cybercriminals use encrypted ransomware that has become the most common type because it is difficult to crack the encryption and remove the malware.
Ransomware virus encrypts the files as if they were actively encrypted, but actually, they are hidden in a separate file, which waits for a defined set of conditions to be unlocked before they are decrypted. In the case of ransomware, the viruses can encrypt files without the knowledge or consent of the user. …
The Global Cybersecurity Index (GCI) is an organization authorized by ITU to investigate cybersecurity levels in the use of information and communication technologies. It determines the studies and efforts of countries and cybersecurity levels.
GCI reveals a report by determining the legal regulations of the countries on cybersecurity, national strategies, determined standards, certifications, training, awareness, and coordination capabilities of cybersecurity teams. Within the formation, a fiction is formed by inviting the member states by the GCI in order to evaluate their national strategies and their situation regarding cybersecurity within the scope of the industry and private sector. The ultimate goal of this fiction is to create a global-scale cybersecurity culture and to act as an incentive for the integration of this culture into information and communication technologies. …

Security, which is among the primary needs of human in the hierarchy of needs defined by Maslow, will continue to maintain its place as long as human being exists. Today, people demand security not just for themselves but for their data as well since it too valuable.
A lot of data and information are generated and shared over the Internet, and a variety of social media platforms participate. In the dataistic world view, human experience is able to produce data that can be put together to pay tribute to data streams. For data specialists, data and algorithms are infused with superior tools to process data and find meaning.

APT groups use the time to detect vulnerabilities and use them to obtain access to a given target. The majority of APT teams fly under the radar by using advanced and complex techniques, tactics, and procedures with custom and tailored malware.
What is APT?
APT (Advanced Persistent Threats) is a sophisticated, long-term malicious attack that seems to play the long game by spying on the target infrastructure for months or years before successfully breaking through the network.
What Does APT Life Cycle Mean?
APT attacks are carefully planned, designed to infiltrate a particular organization, bypass existing security measures, and fly under the radar. It is a combined attack that uses multiple stages and different attack techniques. Running an APT attack requires a combination of advanced knowledge of the organization’s infrastructure, security policies and procedures, and the use of sophisticated tactics. …
