2023-10-17 00:00:00 | Mois de la cybersécurité: les Irlandais ont demandé à reconsidérer leurs choix de mots de passe Cyber Security Month: Irish People Urged to Reconsider Their Password Choices (lien direct) |
Alors que le Mois de la cybersécurité commence, les données de Cyber Skills ont révélé que les clubs sportifs populaires, les personnalités radio renommées et les programmes télévisés bien-aimés sont parmi les mots de passe les plus courants parmi les utilisateurs d'Internet, ce qui en fait des objectifs de premier ordre pour les cybercriminels. En utilisant le site Web Heebeenpwned, qui abrite plus de 613 millions de mots de passe à partir de comptes piratés, une étude a été menée pour évaluer la vulnérabilité de certains mots de passe.En entrant des noms de célébrités irlandaises éminentes, d'équipes sportives et de contenu culturel, les résultats étaient intéressants.Ces choix apparemment "uniques" étaient, en réalité, répandus et facilement supposables par les pirates. Les directives d'identité numérique du National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) mettent l'accent sur l'importance des pratiques de mot de passe sécurisées, conseillant aux organisations d'empêcher les abonnés de l'utilisation de mots de passe qui sont précédemment apparus dans une violation de données.Cette recommandation souligne la signification de la sélection de mots de passe qui n'ont pas été compromis dans les cyber-incidents passés. Hazel Murray de Cyber Skills a commenté "Ce que beaucoup considèrent comme un mot de passe \\ 'fort \', faisant référence aux points de contact culturels, est en fait facilement déchiffré par les cybercriminels.sera fort.Elle a ajouté que "Glenroe a terminé il y a plus de 20 ans à la télévision, mais il a été utilisé près de 90 fois dans la base de données piratée de mots de passe." Richard Browne du National Cyber Security Center conseille: «Utilisez des mots de passe forts diversifiés, plus le mot de passe est long, plus il est difficile de casser.Si vous allez à dix personnages ou plus, il devient très très difficile de le casser. Certains des mots de passe les plus courants de la base de données des mots de passe piratés sont: 123456 - 36 millions de fois Qwerty - 10 millions de fois Mot de passe 9 millions de fois À la lumière de ces résultats, les Irlandais sont invités à réévaluer et à renforcer leurs choix de mots de passe.Le mois de la cybersécurité sert de rappel en temps opportun de l'importance de sauvegarder notre présence numérique.En prenant des mesures proactives et en nous éduquant sur les meilleures pratiques, nous pouvons collectivement contrecarrer les cyber-menaces et assurer un environnement en ligne plus sûr pour tous.

Parrainé par Cyber Ireland
Les Munster Technological University Faculty of Engineering & Science Awards reconnaissent et célèbrent les étudiants qui ont fait preuve d'excellence académique tout au long de l'année.Pour la première fois cette année, Cyber Skills avait une catégorie, honorant trois étudiants qui ont excellé dans leur chemin choisi.
Pauline partage son expérience de l'étude du développement de logiciels sécurisés avec des cyber-compétences et de la valeur que la voie lui a offerte.
«Ayant vu de première main les dégâts causés par la perte de données en raison d'une simple attaque de phishing, j'ai décidé d'un changement de carrière et je suis retourné au TUD pour étudier la criminalistique numérique et la cybersécurité.Après avoir obtenu mon diplôme avec un BSC (Hons), j'ai commencé comme analyste de sécurité avec Edgecan où je fais actuellement partie d'une équipe dédiée à l'amélioration de l'application client et de la sécurité du système.
Après mes études de diplôme, je cherchais une opportunité d'élargir mes connaissances des pratiques de codage sécurisées, en particulier en termes d'applications Web.Le cours est dispensé indépendant de la langue permettant à chaque étudiant de se concentrer sur les faiblesses et les vulnérabilités codantes réelles et les meilleures pratiques pour leur correction plutôt que sur un langage de codage inconnu.Le cours couvre non seulement les bonnes pratiques de codage, mais aussi la façon dont les vulnérabilités du système peuvent avoir un impact sur la posture de sécurité d'une organisation en termes de normes professionnelles.
J'ai découvert la voie de développement de logiciels sécurisé les compétences en cyber à travers un lien Cyber Ireland et après avoir assisté à une introduction virtuelle au cours et écouter ce que les professeurs avaient à dire sur le cours ont décidé que ce serait l'occasion idéale d'élargir mes compétences dans ce domaine ».
Sponsored by Cyber Ireland The Munster Technological University Faculty of Engineering & Science Awards recognise and celebrate students who have shown academic excellence throughout the year. For the first time this year, Cyber Skills had a category, honouring three students who excelled in their chosen pathway. Pauline shares her experience of studying Secure Software Development with Cyber Skills and the value the pathway has provided her. “Having seen first-hand the damage caused through data loss because of a simple phishing attack, I decided on a career change and returned to TUD to study Digital Forensics & Cyber Security. After graduating with a BSc (Hons) I started as a security analyst with Edgescan where I am currently part of a team dedicated to improving client application and system security. Following on from my degree studies, I was seeking an opportunity to expand my knowledge of secure coding practices, particularly in terms of web applications. The course is delivered language independent allowing each student to focus on the actual coding weaknesses and vulnerabilities and the best practices for their remediation rather than on an unfamiliar coding language. The course not only covers the good coding practices but also how system vulnerabilities can impact the security posture of an organisation in terms of professional standards. I discovered the Cyber Skills Secure Software Development pathway through a Cyber Ireland link and after attending a virtual introduction to the course and listening to what the lecturers had to say about the course decided it would be the perfect opportunity to expand my skills in this area”. |

2022-04-12 00:00:00 | Quels sont les besoins futurs de la cybersécurité en Irlande? What are the future cybersecurity needs in Ireland? (lien direct) |
By Dr Lubna Luxmi Dhirani and Dr Tom Newe, featured in Silicon Republic University of Limerick\'s Dr Lubna Luxmi Dhirani and Dr Tom Newe examine the security skills shortage in Ireland and how it can be addressed. As the amount of interconnected smart buildings, smart grids and autonomous vehicles etc increases, we need to ask the question – what if the critical underlying infrastructure of this smart world is hacked, controlled or manipulated for a ransom? In the modern times we live in, the impact and potentially damaging consequences of a cyberattack are much greater than in the past. Data is the new gold and cybercriminals are the gold rush prospectors of this era. Recent attacks include the HSE cyberattack in 2020, which is estimated to have cost the Irish taxpayer more than €100m. The world\'s most valuable oil producer Saudi Aramco was breached in 2021, where hackers scraped 1TB of data and kept it on a leak site while seeking a ransom of $50m in cryptocurrency. The hackers had access to data that contained the full information on 14,254 employees, their names, passport details, phone numbers, email, job title, residence permits, as well as business/company data such as project specifications, client lists etc. This information is of potential use and value to many different types of threat actors on the dark web. How this happened is still relatively unknown. If the response is to pay these ransoms, then the cyber prospectors will keep on digging until the shortage of cyber professionals capable of combatting and preventing these threats is addressed. Careers in cybersecurity are professionally and financially rewarding and the sector is growing at a rate of 10pc per annum in Ireland and worldwide. Results of a recent study commissioned by Cyber Ireland, due to be published in May 2022, show that there are more than 450 cybersecurity businesses in the Republic of Ireland that employ close to 7,000 people. This growing cybersecurity sector will require an increasing number of graduates of all classifications over the coming years and, in particular, cyber-skilled workers are needed. Cybersecurity skills and a good understanding of how these skills can impact our daily lives, wider society and community are important. As per 2021 statistics, around 98pc of successful cyberattacks were of the social engineering variety – psychological manipulation to trick users into making security mistakes or giving away sensitive information – and were successful because of a lack of cyber awareness and understanding by the end user. With the continuous growth of, and increased dependency on, smart devices and technology at work and at home, the threat of cyberattacks on business and individuals is an ever-increasing problem. Now is the time to consider a career in cybersecurity. GDPR compliance and the EU directive NIS2 assist in increasing the level of cybersecurity in Europe, but every day new vulnerabilities and threat scenarios surface. In these cyber-challenging times, people need to be trained in cyber defence, offence, threat intelligence, cyber standards and risk, data and network security, etc. Careers in the cyber world are diverse and versatile. Many different skills are required and this enables different people with different abilities to have rewarding careers. Cybersecurity solutions are not always technical – inculcating a good understanding of security issues, solutions and risks and being able to communicate the necessary solutions and strategies effectively will always be necessary. The Cyber Ireland study highlights a significant shortfall in cybersecurity talent in Ireland against a backdrop of increased demand. This report states that one of the most significant factors leading to data breaches across digital structures globally is the lack of training of non-technical employees and the lack of highly skilled cybersecurity professionals. For many seeking training in cybersecurity, a full-time course is not an option and they seek on-the-job training options instead. This | Vulnerability Threat Studies Technical | ★★ | |

2022-02-10 00:00:00 | Cyber Security & # 8211;Une guerre de Troie où nous gagnons Cyber Security – A Trojan War where we win (lien direct) |
Written by Dr. Anila Mjeda, Cyber Skills Lecturer In Ancient Greek literature, Troy is portrayed as a powerful kingdom of the Heroic Age. Troy\'s ability to withstand battles and attacks was due to the strength of its walls which, legend has it, were built by Greek gods, Poseidon and Apollo. This was all the more evident when Troy \'fell\' after it\'s supposed, impenetrable outer perimeter, got breached. This lesson from Greek Mythology echoes ever true in today\'s software systems. Our Cyber Security mechanisms must be approached in a manner called \'Defence-in-depth”, where a number of defence mechanisms are layered to offer better protection to the system. (Imagine the medieval castles\' layers of fine battlements, towers, and \'high\' and \'steep\' walls.) What is most vital in Cyber Security, is the inner most layer of a strong, defence-in-depth. This layer should start with secure coding which is a concept we call \'Shifting Left\'. Shifting Left Shifting left, in essence means incorporating security at the beginning of a project, such as data collecting, and incorporating security activities in each of the stages of the software development lifecycle. The shifting left metaphor stems from the fact that people whose native language is written from left to right, tend to perceive left (think of the outmost left on a page) as the place where one begins their work. As a developer, will your application need to handle credit card data? Will the users of your application be allowed to upload their own files to the system, and which third-party components will you be using in the system? These are but a fraction of the security considerations to be analysed from the beginning of any project. Today\'s software systems are inherently interconnected, and we cannot simply draw up the bridge and defend our systems medieval style. Software systems use libraries, APIs, microservices and in general a variety of components that translate to an end-product. There are complex dependencies, many of which to third-party software. Furthermore, modern approaches such as Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), Security as Code (SaC), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) push more functionality into the software domain. This blurring of the boundaries means that security is not the job of only the security professionals and calls for the development team to play a crucial role in it. Software developers are talented and inventive creators and as cyber-attacks increase in numbers and severity, it is vital they collaborate closely with the security professionals and get the proper training to interweave security into their creations. While proper training of developers is the real answer to prevent vulnerabilities creeping up into our apps, if I were to start from one element, it would be the mentality of Zero-Trust. While I do not recommend it as a mentality for life, I do very much recommend it in all thing\'s cybersecurity. The Zero-Trust concept extends from infrastructure to software. In fact, one aspect of our software which if we do right, would solve most of our security woes is zero-trusting all inputs. Zero-Trust Your Inputs Language purists might forgive this conversion of zero-trust into a verb, on the grounds that placing no trust on all inputs (even when they come from your own system), would help us mitigate most of our security troubles. You may be asking, “Why don\'t we just do it then, and “solve” security once and for all?”. Part of the difficulty relies on identifying every single input. Did we identify all the cloud workflows that can trigger our serverless functions? Are there any unforeseen ways into our database (Hello injection vulnerabilities)? Can an attacker give instructions to the server and resultantly gain access they should not have (Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerabilities)? Can our web-based system be commandeered to attack our legitimate users (Cross Site Scripting (XSS) v | Vulnerability Cloud | ★★ | |
