The Ciso's Transformation
The first section of this book addresses the evolution of CISO (chief information security officer) leadership, with the most mature CISOs combining strong business and technical leadership skills. CISOs can now add significant value when they possess an advanced understanding of cutting-edge security technologies to address the risks from the nearly universal operational dependence of enterprises on the cloud, the Internet, hybrid networks, and third-party technologies demonstrated in this book. In our new cyber threat-saturated world, CISOs have begun to show their market value. Wall Street is more likely to reward companies with good cybersecurity track records with higher stock valuations. To ensure that security is always a foremost concern in business decisions, CISOs should have a seat on corporate boards, and CISOs should be involved from beginning to end in the process of adopting enterprise technologies.The second and third sections of this book focus on building strong security teams, and exercising prudence in cybersecurity. CISOs can foster cultures of respect through careful consideration of the biases inherent in the socio-linguistic frameworks shaping our workplace language and through the cultivation of cyber exceptionalism. CISOs should leave no stone unturned in seeking out people with unique abilities, skills, and experience, and encourage career planning and development, in order to build and retain a strong talent pool. The lessons of the breach of physical security at the US Capitol, the hack back trend, and CISO legal liability stemming from network and data breaches all reveal the importance of good judgment and the necessity of taking proactive stances on preventative measures. This book will target security and IT engineers, administrators and developers, CIOs, CTOs, CISOs, and CFOs. Risk personnel, CROs, IT, security auditors and security researchers will also find this book useful.
Datenschutzanalyse, Folgenabsch瓣tzung und Gew瓣hrleistung eines besseren Datenschutzes f羹r definierte Gesch瓣ftsprozesse bei Nutzung von Cloud-Computing mittels homomorpher Kryptographie
Masterarbeit aus dem Jahr 2019 im Fachbereich Informatik - IT-Security, Note: 1,3, Fachhochschule Trier - Hochschule f羹r Wirtschaft, Technik und Gestaltung, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die vorliegende Masterarbeit besch瓣ftigt sich mit der Definition und Implementierung von Gesch瓣ftsprozessen, die 羹blicherweise auf der internen Unternehmensinfrastruktur ausgef羹hrt werden und im Zuge der voranschreitenden Digitalisierung auf Cloud-Services umgesetzt werden sollen. Durch die Nutzung von Cloud-Services entstehen viele datenschutzrechtliche Probleme. Es wird versucht werden, diese mittels homomorpher Kryptografie auszubessern und ein h繹heres Datenschutzniveau zu erlangen. Dazu wird im ersten Schritt eine ?bersicht aller relevanten Datenschutzregularien gegeben und eine Marktanalyse durchgef羹hrt, die aufzeigt, wie die meistgenutzten Cloud-Anbieter die Datenschutzregularien umsetzen. Darauffolgend werden vier Gesch瓣ftsprozesse definiert, Teile der internen Infrastruktur auf die Cloud-Infrastruktur umgestellt sowie eine Datenschutzanalyse und -Folgenabsch瓣tzung f羹r die abge瓣nderten Konzepte durchgef羹hrt. Um die daraus resultierenden Datenschutzprobleme auszubessern, werden Konzepte zur Nutzung von homomorpher Kryptografie beschrieben. Im letzten Schritt werden Anforderungen an die zu implementierenden Anwendungen definiert, die definierten Konzepte implementiert und eine ?berpr羹fung der implementierten Anwendungen durchgef羹hrt. Schlussendlich wird eine Diskussion der umgesetzten Gesch瓣ftsprozesse durchgef羹hrt, die aufzeigt welche Punkte verbesserungsw羹rdig sind und f羹r einen Produktivbetrieb umgesetzt werden m羹ssen. Als wichtiger Punkt wird diesbez羹glich das Schl羹sselmanagement angef羹hrt werden. Im Fazit wird deutlich werden, dass homomorphe Kryptografie durchaus das Potenzial hat datenschutzrechtliche Aspekte auszubessern, aber dennoch nur in begrenzten Situationen einsetzbar ist.

Recent Advances in Cryptography and Network Security
In the field of computers and with the advent of the internet, the topic of secure communication has gained significant importance. The theory of cryptography and coding theory has evolved to handle many such problems. The emphases of these topics are both on secure communication that uses encryption and decryption schemes as well as on user authentication for the purpose of non-repudiation. Subsequently, the topics of distributed and cloud computing have emerged. Existing results related to cryptography and network security had to be tuned to adapt to these new technologies. With the more recent advancement of mobile technologies and IOT (internet of things), these algorithms had to take into consideration the limited resources such as battery power, storage and processor capabilities. This has led to the development of lightweight cryptography for resource constrained devices. The topic of network security also had to face many challenges owing to variable interconnection topology instead of a fixed interconnection topology. For this reason, the system is susceptible to various attacks from eavesdroppers. This book addresses these issues that arise in present day computing environments and helps the reader to overcome these security threats.
