And i f that wasn’t enough\, it’s become a regular occurrence where we hear ab out how some city opted to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in ranso m. Now\, we could spend all day talking about all the things that went w rong to get to this point. That could include security patching\, applic ation development\, system configuration\, etc. One item that’s often ov erlooked is Data Management and its impact on security. In nearly every hack or breach\, the ultimate goal of the attacker is to get to the data so it can be monetized. So how you manage the data is critical. \;\n \;\nThis presentation is designed to give you insight into how attac ks are executed\, the tools and tricks the attackers use\, and how data management can play a role in minimizing the damage when a breach occurs \, or perhaps stopping it altogether. This effort can be significantly e nhanced by adopting a zero trust approach with data access and backups. It can be significantly hindered by checklist “compliance” efforts that are not grounded in secure best practices. We’ll talk about these items based on observations and experience during actual Penetration Tests\, s o you can hear firsthand how data management can play a role in securing your data. \;\n \;\n \;\nWhen \;\n \;\nJuly 18th\, 2019 (Chapter meetings held on third Thursday of the month) \;\n \;\nSc hedule \;\n \;\n8:30 – 9:00 am – Sign In \;\n9:00 – 10:15 am – Presentation \;\n10:15 – 10:30 am – Break\, Chapter Announcements \;\n10:30 – 11:30 am – Presentation continued\n\nImported from: http://c alagator.org/events/1250475883 URL:https://damapdx.org/2019/07/03/july-2019-data-management-from-a-penet ration-testers-perspective/#more-691 SUMMARY:DAMA PDX: Data Management From A Penetration Tester’s Perspective LOCATION:Standard Insurance Tower Atrium (900 SW 5th): 900 Southwest 5th Avenue\, Portland OR 97204 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190823T221620Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190919T113000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190919T083000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190823T221620Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190823T221620Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250476068 DESCRIPTION:Presented by Joachim Rahmfeld\, Ph.D \;\nLecturer at UC Be rkeley \;\n \;\nToday’s vast volumes of language-based\, unstructu red\, electronic data found in various form factors such as blogs\, emai l\, social media\, or web sites\, promises competitive advantages for th ose who can extract business-relevant information most effectively and e fficiently. Natural Language Processing (NLP) holds the key in leveragin g this type of data in order to answer and respond to important question s such as\, “What is the perception of my company in the Twittersphere?” \, “Are these reviews largely positive or negative?”\, “What is the tran slation of this in Spanish?”\, “This document has the answer to my quest ion somewhere… but where?”\, “Are these products similar?” \;\n \; \nParticularly over the last five years\, revolutionary advances in NLP- related Deep Learning algorithms combined with dramatically increased co mpute resources have created unprecedented opportunities to not only ans wer natural language questions with greater accuracy and speed\, but oft en also while requiring significantly less training data. \;\n \;\ nIn this session\, we will provide an overview of these advances and how you can make use of them. A particular focus will be transfer learning where large\, pretrained models\, such as Google’s BERT model\, can be l everaged for a broad set of NLP use cases delivering excellent results\, and enabling you to answer questions that were not possible to answer j ust a few years ago. \;\n \;\nSo this is a great time to learn abo ut recent NLP developments and go through explicit examples. \;\n \;\n \;\nAbout the Speaker \;\n \;\nJoachim started his career in theoretical physics before leaving academia and joining the IT indust ry. For over a decade\, he held various leadership positions in profess ional services\, business development and sales at Sun Microsystems\, VM ware\, and Hitachi Data Systems. In 2015\, Joachim returned to his quant itative roots and obtained a Master of Information and Data Science from UC Berkeley. Most recently\, Joachim managed a Data Science research te am at Edison Software. He currently lectures at UC Berkeley on Natural L anguage Processing with Deep learning and is working on various NLP proj ects. \;\n \;\nWhen \;\n \;\nSept 19th\, 2019 (Chapter meeti ngs held on third Thursday of the month) \;\n \;\nSchedule \;\n \;\n8:30 – 9:00 am – Sign In \;\n9:00 – 10:15 am – Presentation&# 13\;\n10:15 – 10:30 am – Break\, Chapter Announcements \;\n10:30 – 11 :30 am – Presentation continued \;\n \;\nStandard Insurance Tower Atrium (900 SW 5th\, please note Standard Ins. has multiple downtown loc ations) \;\n \;\nCost \;\n \;\nFree for members (including A LL employees of corporate members) \;\n$15 for non-members \;\n$5 for students with valid student ID \;\n \;\nStandard Insurance Cen ter\, 900 SW 5th Ave\, Portland\, OR 97204\, USA \;\n\n\nTags: NLP\, theory\, datascience\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/12504 76068 URL:https://damapdx.org/2019/08/23/september-2019-recent-advances-in-natu ral-language-processing-some-theory-applications/ SUMMARY:@DAMAPDX Sept.
