An Overview of mRATs
0 likes1,067 views
This document provides an overview of mobile remote access trojans (mRATs) and targeted mobile attacks. It discusses how mRATs can snoop on corporate emails and data, eavesdrop, extract contact lists and location information, and infiltrate internal networks. The document describes high-end government/military-grade mRATs, mid-range cybercrime toolkits, and lower-end commercial surveillance toolkits. Real-life statistics from a survey of 650,000 devices within a cellular network of 2 million subscribers in June 2013 showed an infection rate of 1 in 1,000 devices. The document concludes by stating that mobile device management solutions do not address this threat.

Mobile malware attacks increased 185% in 2012, primarily targeting Android devices. Android is vulnerable because it has the largest market share (75%) and allows any developer to post apps to the Google Play Store. It is also slow to fix detected security flaws. Recent malware has stolen SMS messages, call logs, contacts, bank details, and other sensitive data. To protect against malware, organizations should implement security policies while individual users should install antivirus software and avoid suspicious links and WiFi networks.

The document discusses the vulnerabilities of Mobile Device Management (MDM) systems and the rise of spyphones, emphasizing that secure containers are not entirely secure against sophisticated attacks. It highlights the prevalence of mobile malware and the effectiveness of low-end spy tools that can compromise both personal and corporate data. The conclusion advocates for a multi-layered security approach, noting that while MDM can separate business and personal data, it cannot guarantee absolute security.iOS Threats - Malicious Configuration Profiles, Threat, Detection & Mitigation

Hi, Im Aly Owens, I have a special pleasure to stand here as over a decade ago I graduated from CityU as an international student with an MBA program. I enjoyed the diversity of the school, ability to work and study, the network that came with being here, and of course the price tag for students here has always been more affordable than most around.
Since then I have worked for major corporations like T-Mobile and Microsoft and many more, and I have founded a startup. I've also been teaching product management to ensure my students save time and money to get to the same level as me faster avoiding popular mistakes. Today as Ive transitioned to teaching and focusing on the startup, I hear everybody being concerned about Ai stealing their jobs Well talk about it shortly.
But before that, I want to take you back to 1997. One of my favorite movies is Fifth Element. It wowed me with futuristic predictions when I was a kid and Im impressed by the number of these predictions that have already come true. Self-driving cars, video calls and smart TV, personalized ads and identity scanning. Sci-fi movies and books gave us many ideas and some are being implemented as we speak. But we often get ahead of ourselves:
Flying cars,Colonized planets, Human-like AI: not yet, Time travel, Mind-machine neural interfaces for everyone: Only in experimental stages (e.g. Neuralink).
Cyberpunk dystopias: Some vibes (neon signs + inequality + surveillance), but not total dystopia (thankfully).
On the bright side, we predict that the working hours should drop as Ai becomes our helper and there shouldnt be a need to work 8 hours/day. Nobody knows for sure but we can require that from legislation. Instead of waiting to see what the government and billionaires come up with, I say we should design our own future.
So, we as humans, when we dont know something - fear takes over. The same thing happened during the industrial revolution. In the Industrial Era, machines didnt steal jobsthey transformed them but people were scared about their jobs. The AI era is making similar changes except it feels like robots will take the center stage instead of a human. First off, even when it comes to the hottest space in the military - drones, Ai does a fraction of work. AI algorithms enable real-time decision-making, obstacle avoidance, and mission optimization making drones far more autonomous and capable than traditional remote-controlled aircraft. Key technologies include computer vision for object detection, GPS-enhanced navigation, and neural networks for learning and adaptation. But guess what? There are only 2 companies right now that utilize Ai in drones to make autonomous decisions - Skydio and DJI.

VMwares pricing changes have forced organizations to rethink their datacenter cost management strategies. While FinOps is commonly associated with cloud environments, the FinOps Foundation has recently expanded its framework to include Scopesand Datacenter is now officially part of the equation. In this session, well map the FinOps Framework to a VMware-based datacenter, focusing on cost visibility, optimization, and automation. Youll learn how to track costs more effectively, rightsize workloads, optimize licensing, and drive efficiencyall without migrating to the cloud. Well also explore how to align IT teams, finance, and leadership around cost-aware decision-making for on-prem environments. If your VMware bill keeps increasing and you need a new approach to cost management, this session is for you!Enhance GitHub Copilot using MCP - Enterprise version.pdf

Let's talk about our history. How we started the project with a small vector database of less than 2 million records. Later, we received a request for +100 million records, then another +100... And so gradually we reached almost 1 billion. Standard tools were quickly running out of steam - we were running into performance, index size, and very limited resources. After a long series of trials and errors, we built our own low-cost cluster, which today stably processes thousands of queries to more than 1B vectors.Wenn alles versagt - IBM Tape sch端tzt, was z辰hlt!
