On the floor.
But that's not what you don't do.
Visual things that was calling you.
OK.
Can I?
Can I begin?
Can are you this one way OK.
Excuse me? Good.
Yeah.
Just first James and Yves, if you could meet your mikes.
So.
OK.
Sorry about that.
Yeah, no worries.
OK, so let's begin.
Hi everyone I hope you are doing well.
So today topic of convergence of cloud, quantum and AI.
So in the para of AI, I believe that no one haven't heard about
cloud computing.
So what did difference between these two type of the quantum
computing and cloud computing?
Also A+ of artificial intelligence with the AI
everywhere.
So that's how we can survive all these emerging technologies.
Let's start.
What cloud computing is the cloud computing?
Is the idea of leasing or renting or resources delivery of
the computing services over the Internet offering resources such
as the servers, storage, database, networking software
based on pay as you go platform?
The basic principle includes on demand, self service, broad
network access.
A resource pooling rapid elastics CD and make sure
servers the benefits of scalability which allowed the
business to scale the resource up and down based on demand,
ensuring optimal performance and cost efficiency.
Another benefit is cost effectiveness, which eliminate
the need for upfront investment in the physical infrastructures.
We don't sing operational.
Explains what last.
Key value is accessibility which enable access to the data and
application from any location with the Internet connection
facilitating remote work and collaboration when the on the
other hand, the security concern with the data stored in the
cloud, maybe one or a boat to cyber attacks be quieting the
low bar security measure to protect sensitive information
dependent on the Internet connectivity which mean that
disruption in the network concern about the data privacy
and compliance with the regulations such as GDPR and
HIPAA requirement.
Umm.
Careful management of the data stored in the cloud, including
encryption and access control.
How about?
What is quantum computing?
The outstanding of quantum are superposition and intend to
meant give quantum computer capability unknown to the
classical computing.
The bit with can be either zero or one, but the qubit can exist
in the state of superposition, representing both zero and one
at the same time.
The qubit, which subatomic particles can be entangled, but
meaning that stayed up one.
Qubit is dependent on the state of the other, even though they
are physically separated.
That special can solve large particular problem with
exponential algorithmic gains with the large datasets call for
scalability and high computational power.
Of course, they technology can be pricey and not quiet because
the system require in centric cooling technology to share the
qubit.
Nowaday it everywhere that apple type of the AI machine learning
algorithm that enable computer to learn from and make decision
or predict based on data deep learning, the subset of machine
learning that involves neural network with many layer
Umm, no.
including input layer, hidden layer and the output layers
natural language processing.
Who's?
An LP AI technique for understanding the language
And.
translation sentiment analysis.
Take summarization, question answering, generative AI,
significant advance on creating entire new content.
The model can create the pictures, takes audio or even
entire video that based on the pattern and structures learn
from the input data, but still original.
With this bring up controversial in ethic, however, one invited
that health free up human resource come from automation
tasks and also in the ecommerce AIS with customer service
through the chat bot.
Let's look at what the Google try doing in the project.
This is the project that Google has to my Stone to develop
quantum processor that call error correction to unlock the
true power of the quantum computing due to the qubit.
Incredibly Fat Joe and susceptible to errors bit.
With everything that way, make sure that you're experience that
you're that we provide to you, that you will then do is gonna
With.
be.
A.
OK continue bit error which the qubit can free from zero to 1
due to the environmental noise losing the value of
superposition.
So what we have to solution by encoding using the special code
to distribute the information of the logical qubit across several
physical qubit which create redundancy in the system?
Secondly, the system constantly monitor the physical qubit for
the error detections, and lastly when the error is detected, the
clever algorithms manipulate the uninfected qubit to correct the
error in the faulty qubit, essentially undoing the damage.
However, error corrected quantum computing are still under
development, which similarly advancements in the earlier like
fault tolerant architecture.
How about the IBM quantum AI?
In the research, the IBM has Kiss Kit is over resource or
where development kids besides basically working with the
quantum computing, it can be program by the create the
circuit that represent the sequence of the operation that
you want the quantum computing to perform.
Qiskit can connect to and execute your book.
I'm on the real IBM quantum processor.
You.
Stimulate the hard way, it's.
None given a task project, Umm.
Within that course, if you're working, you're everybody's
gonna be.
Uh, I'm sorry.
I'm.
I'm go ahead.
OK, OK, kiss kid.
Analyze the data to refine your code.
So we saw that if itation achieve desired outcome, the
kids also allow you to write the book.
Umm, similar like Python as well in the in the past of, I mean in
the part of the error correction and mitigation still under
development within it's and lastly the Kiss kid can help you
visualize the quantum circuit and analyze the result of
program executions, allowing for the easier debugging and
optimization.
Azure Quantum AI, as I shall have the quantum katas, it is a
self paced study and welcoming exercise.
Decide to help the individual learn for the fundamental of the
quantum computing and the queue chopper coming language which is
offer a handful learning a port where the user actively filling
the missing code within the provided template, allowing them
to practice and learn by doing.
Microsoft is actively working to make Azure Quantum more user
friendly and accessibility for developer with the level of
experiment quantum computing.
This includes providing extensive documentation,
tutorials and potential AI S development to in the futures.
For example, the quantum commissary.
This reserved investigate the use of a quantum computing to
stimulate the complaint miracle interaction with accelerated
drug discovery and materials science advancement and also to
Microsoft often have the feoli webinar register from the
official site every month like this one.
We have and the quantum chemistry in the 3D with the
copilot AI.
By us in the quantum algorithm, including imperfections in the
hardware, noise in the quantum system, error in the quantum
gates, and environmental interferes for the technical
challenges still under development.
Facing challenges such as scalability, error correction
and high initial cost.
Specially it is the only state and it might take years before
it reached full potential.
Scared.
You with the base, the cloud based storage and processing
introduce potential security vulnerability, the complexity of
the AI algorithm can make them susceptible to manipulate, skew,
gab, click wire specialized skill which potentially creating
the skill gap in the workforce as this Technology involved
responsibility development and collaborative effort will be the
key to navigating the limitations and ensuring the
future where the cloud quantum and AI empower society and
individual equitable manner.
Remember, this is the complex and rapidly in rural landscape,
the specific impact a limitation will continue to develop and
change over time.
So thank you very much for listening.
Great.
Thank you.
Does anybody have any questions?
If not, doesn't look like it.
So the next President presentation is gonna be
recording.
I'm just gonna.
Alright, here we go.
Oh, actually, you know what?
I messed up.
OK, let me know if I if you can hear it.
What does a data breach a data breach?
My name is Hill Darlington.
Protected or considered security is access disclosed special of
PGIP tech and my presentation will this information reaches
Claude personal data such as names, Social Security with me.
We hear two different things.
Yeah, I'm hearing that too.
What is a data breach?
A data breach is a security.
OK, there we go.
Yeah, I think he just double audio it on that one.
Did we lose you?
No.
Or could you not hear it?
No, I don't even see a screen share on my end.
What is happening?
Alright, sorry about that.
So he didn't see any of that.
No.
OK, it's unfortunate.
OK, we'll try this again.
We're good.
I see a screen but no sound.
Vision is access disclosed or stolen without authorization.
OK, there we go.
This information can OK, sorry about that names so security
numbers, credit cards and health records, as well as corporate
data and trade secrets, intellectual property and
financial information.
Data breaches can occur for various reasons, including
hacking and cyber attacks insider threats.
Physical theft or loss.
Devices like laptops, smartphones and storage media
devices containing sensitive data can be stolen or lost, thus
leading to a data breach.
Phishing and social engineering, as we all know very well, or at
least we should.
Malware and ransomware.
And a data breaches have effects on various groups of people,
including the individual personal information such as
names, addresses, Social Security numbers, credit card
details and medical records can be exposed.
This can lead to identity theft, financial fraud and a loss of
privacy.
Individuals may also experience emotional distress at a loss, a
loss of trust in their organizations that have failed
to protect their data.
Customers and consumers.
If a business suffers a data breach, it's customers may have
their personal and financial information compromise.
This can lead to unauthorized transactions, credit score
damage, and a loss in confidence in the business for employees
and breaches involving employee data workers may face risks
similar to those of individual consumers, including identity
theft and financial fraud.
Additionally they they may feel betrayed by their employer and
concerned about their job security, and for businesses and
organizations, a data breach could have severe financial
consequences for businesses, including legal fees, regulatory
funds, compensation to affected parties and costs associated
with improving safety measures.
Reputational damage can also lead to a loss of customer trust
and a decline in sales or stock value for government agencies.
When government data breaches databases are breached, excuse
me, it can compromise national security, expose sensitive
information and eroded public trust in government
institutions.
OK.
I'm just going to go back one slide because I missed this one.
It's the intro slide.
Hello, my name is Theo Darlington and I am with the
cybersecurity aspect of PGIP tech, and my presentation will
be on data breaches and their implications.
Bear with me.
I am battling a pretty bad chest cold so if I cough, forgive me.
I'm.
I'm happy you guys ever received the notification.
Normally when you sign up for a new website that offers a
service or just about anything in which it informs you that
your password has been included in a data breach and that you
have to change the bring up a new password or they're not
going to allow you to reuse the same old one that was in
implicated in the data breach happened to me a couple times
and it's very startling to see, but it's very widespread and you
don't have to take it personally.
Happens to everyone.
The percentage of people affected by data breaches can
vary wildly depending on the scale and nature of the breach.
Some breaches may impact only a small group of individuals,
while others can affect millions or even billions of people.
For example, the Yahoo data breach in 2013 affected
approximately 3 billion user accounts, making it one of the
largest data breaches in history.
There's an Equifax breach in 2017 which exposed the personal
information of about 147 million people.
The Facebook data breach in 2019 impacted roughly 500 million
users.
Considering these examples, it's clear that the percentage of
global population affected by data breaches can be
significant.
However, the exact percentage would depend on the number of
breaches and the number of individuals impacted in each
case.
It's also worth noting that some individuals may be affected by
multiple breaches, making it challenging to calculate and
accurate overall percentage.
In general, the what the increasing number of data
breaches and the growing amount of personal data stored online,
a substantial portion of the global population is at risk of
being affected by a data breach at some point in their lives.
Just trying to get the volume turned up a little bit on each
slide.
The implications of data breaches data breaches can have
serious implications and lead to significant financial losses for
individuals or organizations.
For the individuals, of course, identity theft, financial fraud
caused by the identity theft.
Emotional distress from those proceeding things reputational
damage and of course, the cost of recovery, which I had a
friend who got their identity stolen through a data breach and
this was in 2018 and to this day her credit has not rebounded
from it.
The creditors don't really care about who ran up your credit
line.
It's more of even whether you could prove it or not.
If you can't prove it, the onus is on you, which is a, which is
a very I would consider that a very dubious thing, but that's
kind of the world we live in.
So you really have to protect yourself for organizations, the
direct financial costs, these include expenses related to
breach investigation, remediation, legal fees and
fines and penalties from regulatory bodies and cost
associated with notifying the affected individuals.
Of course, reputational damage.
No one wants to work with the company that can maintain and
protect their data operational disruption, right?
So a companies normally have a protocol in which they implement
when they're down against, breached and it the the downtime
plus the time to get back on their feet definitely affects
their bottom line.
So that's something that organizations really have to
look out for and be wary of.
And of course, the increased security costs after you get bit
once you're gonna be very because you would even more
careful whatever the.
However, that manifests normally manifests into more money being
spent.
In January 2024, a security researcher uncovered a colossal
database comprising 26 billion leaked records pertaining to
millions, possibly billions, of individuals.
The breach is thought to be the largest in history and is being
called the mother of all breaches, security research
security.
Excuse me.
Security researcher Bob Diachenko of Security
discovery.com discovered the data set, which contains
information from global social media platforms and online
services.
According to his findings, the database includes reindexed
leaks, breaches and privately sold databases.
The largest chunk of records, totaling 1.5 billion, comes from
the Chinese social media giant 10 cent, along with 504 million
from $0.10 Weibo, which is another one of their properties,
360 million from my space and in 281 million from X, also known
as Twitter.
Other noticeable organizations embroiled in the league,
including Doby, Dropbox, LinkedIn, my Fitness Pal,
Telegram, and several government entities.
I'll significant number of smaller, lesser known
organization organizations are implicated as well.
The researchers suspect that it initial access broker or an IB
compiled the data from various sources with the aim of making a
profit on the dark web.
Where hackers could purchase it to launch several forms of
attack, including identity theft, phishing credentials,
compromise and business email compromise.
How to protect yourself from data breaches to protect
yourself from data breaches, you could take several proactive
steps to safeguard your personal information.
You can use strong unique passwords like the gentleman
mentioned before.
Enable two factor authentication with that gentleman.
Also recommended keeping your software up to date, regularly
updating your operating system applications and security
software to protect against known vulnerabilities that
hackers could exploit is also a very good tactic.
I'll be wearing a fishing attempts.
Be cautious on one opening emails, clicking links or
downloading attachments from unknown or suspicious sources.
Phishing emails are a common way for hackers to steal your
personal information or install malware.
Used secure networks.
Be wary of logging on to that Starbucks Wi-Fi if you can help
it.
It's better to get a hot spot of your own and use that if
possible.
What are your accounts?
Regularly check your financials and look for any suspicious
activity.
Don't.
Don't wait for it to happen to you.
Just checking on making one of your SOP and wake up in the
morning.
Check your bank account and goes without saying and I know that
might be stressful for some people, but it's always a good
practice to do so.
And when you don't intend on opening any credit lines, keep
your credit frozen.
I implement this from time to time.
When I don't when I just bought my house and I have nothing on
the horizon, just freeze the credit.
So nothing can be open Will out your written consent, and of
course be careful if your information be careful of the
information you share online.
Be careful, be wary of the people you talk to.
Anyone can be trying to get your information and of course back
up your data and of course stay informed with cybersecurity
related cybersecurity threats and the best practices for
protecting your information.
I taking these steps, you can significantly reduce your risk
of falling victim to a data breach and minimize the impact
if one does occur.
Thank you for coming to this evening symposium.
I was thought for questions now, but this is a prerecorded we
recorded presentation.
Thank you and have a great rest of your day.
Alright.
Well, Next up we have uh Jacobi.
Jacobi, Are you ready?
Yes, I'm ready.
OK.
And what is here?
The area is very professional bug tracker where IT help desk
and support can manage all the the tasks.
Jerrod is also needed for other departments to track ticketing
test some departments such as coal operations and other works
with zero.
Projects for JIRA are helpful to log the progress in.
Issue involved a ring or activity.
It's needed to track uncompleted parts of a project.
It can also help the employee to plan projects. That's.
0 workflow.
Well, customization workflow customization allows the
administrator to edit that are handled the the workflow.
Dear is in program, that is MUI used by IT companies to manage
and track all their work.
You'll wells people see create tabs and work with agree and and
and the effectively to produce software to operate.
Generally you would need a project, pick a temple in
columns and create an issue and then connect tools and then
track the word with the team.
These are the references.
Alright, thank you.
Does anybody have any questions?
Miguel.
Ohh no wrong button.
Well, if there are no questions, we will move on to Vontarius.
So get some here.
Give me one second.
Alright.
Yeah, no worries.
I hope Miguel, you did have a question for a Jacobi.
Ohh yeah, but it's fine it it's totally fine.
I accidentally logged myself out so.
Yeah.
Well, you could, you could just ask it in the chat, and Jacobi
could probably answer you there.
Maybe that would be easy.
Yeah, I'll do that.
Alright, perfect.
Thank you.
Thank you, Jameson.
Yeah, no problem.
OK, so my name is Vontarius.
Hello everyone I will be doing a project over ransomware attacks.
So what is it?
Ransomware is a type of malware.
You may then ask what is malware?
Malware is any malicious software that enables
unauthorized access to a user system.
So ransomware is a type of malware that locks and encrypts
a victim styles data device or system in a hole.
So ransomware is used to lock up a big some system where files.
Unfortunately, in addition to that, criminals are using this
leverage to force people to pay us the santiam amount of money.
This is what makes ransomware so scary.
It's one thing to lose access to your files, but to be promised
you can get them back by paying a fee as nerve wracking, the
process of criminals forcing people and businesses to hand
over money or confidential data is known as cyber.
Extortion is crazy because today, Steve, don't even have to
be tech savvy.
There are some ransomware marketplaces that have sprouted
up online that offer malware strains for any potential
Crooks.
They also generate extra profit for the malware creators, who
most times ask for a cut in the ransom proceeds.
Let's talk a little bit about the history.
The first documented example ransomware was in the year 1989,
this was known as the Age Children or Harvard trained
biologists by the name of Joseph L Pops sent 20,000 infected
diskettes or floppy drives labeled AIDS information to the
attendees of the World Health Organization and International
AIDS conference.
So if you ever been affected by ransomware, you can blame this
guy in the picture for all your trouble.
Now I don't know how old everyone else is in this
meeting, but I'm a part of Jenna.
TI was born in 97 so I never got to experience floppy disk.
I do remember seeing a few as a kid, but never used 1A day in my
life.
Now back to the subject.
After 90 reboots, the Trojan hid directories and encrypted the
names of the files on the customer's computer to regain
access, the user would have to send $189.00 to PC Cyborg Corp
at a post office box in Panama, Florida, or Panama City.
Excuse me.
As you can see from the graph, this chair or sorry that's
saying with the next slide.
The way I think I messed up on my slides. Umm.
Give me one second.
Yep, no problem.
And if you have a video, you'll need to share audio when you
when you share.
OK.
So let me see.
OK.
I'll just go to the video, but yeah, I think my size are
slightly out of order and let me let me know if you guys can hear
it.
This threat is not imminent.
Yeah, we can.
It is upon us.
So Baber attacks against TV stations, food and fuel
suppliers, hospitals, water systems.
These hacks have been happening for a long time.
Ransomware ransomware attack after a ransomware attack
ransomware cyberattack should we be ransomware, it feels like
it's everywhere these days.
It's caused gas shortages.
It's disrupted our meat supply, but what exactly is ransomware
and what should you do if you're the victim of an attack?
Ransomware is malicious software that encrypts data and then of
course holds it ransom for ransom, right until somebody
pays off.
But before you can even get to that point, the ransomware gangs
need to get access into systems.
There are multiple ways to Hacker can break into a computer
system.
One of the most common ways is through a phishing email, and it
can attempt to sort of fool or deceive the recipient of the
email into thinking it's a real person on the other end, usually
getting them to click a link or to download an attachment of
some kind, which then might execute some malicious software
after the hackers gained access to a computer system, they then
begin to encrypt the data on it.
Encryption is similar to locking the data up, so no one else can
get access to it without the key, and there's sort of a
second step to this, and it's an extortion step where if the
victim refuses to pay the ransom for any reason, they'll also
threaten to dump some of that data online.
It's sort of UPS the ante, so to speak.
In short, the hackers are demanding a person or a company
pay them in exchange for the key to unlock their data and often
to stop the hackers from leaking any sensitive information.
A study of ransomware attacks in the first quarter of 2021 showed
that professional services like law firms, the public sector
like schools and governments, and the healthcare industry all
were targeted by ransomware attacks.
The most I would say that the trend has generally moved
towards hitting larger organizations, organizations
that have deeper pockets, for example, or on the types of
organizations that typically have very sensitive data.
This is a Russian criminal group.
It's originating in Russia.
It's called dark side catching.
Criminal hackers is tough.
For one, they usually demand payment in cryptocurrencies,
which are harder to track.
One study estimated that roughly $350 million was paid out in
ransomware attacks in 2020, and these hacks often originate from
countries like Russia, where the US doesn't have an extradition
treaty.
Experts recommend strengthening your IT infrastructure by
keeping systems up to date by patching security
vulnerabilities, monitoring for phishing emails and having a
plan for when a ransomware attack does occur.
Companies can also buy insurance specifically for cyber attacks
you know would help to have a mentality that it's just some
point you're going to get hit by one of these things and you need
to know what your next move is and what you're going to do.
And to think about especially how how you would recover from
an incident of this kind, hackers can often demand high
price tags to get your data back.
Colonial Pipeline says it paid $4.4 million to hackers who held
their systems at ransom.
JBS is one of the world's largest food companies and it
says it paid out $11 million in response to a ransomware attack.
The US government encourages people not to pay the ransom,
since that could encourage more attacks.
There's also no guarantee that attackers won't just release the
data once the ransom is paid.
The big question is what do we do next?
Law enforcement can only do so much, and it might actually come
down to negotiating with foreign countries like Russia.
It's also possible that the United States military might
step in here at some point and play a greater role in defense
of the private sector.
And so it's another possibility going forward.
OK.
So just to talk a little bit about this video.
So one thing that I found interesting about this video was
that the criminals often ask for payments in Bitcoin because they
are harder to track.
This is because converting money to bitcoins, sending and
receiving it doesn't require the use of a legal name or address.
So this is pretty much a criminal's dream come true in a
sense.
Umm good to the next slide.
There are a lot of different types of ransomware.
In a sense, they all work in the same manner.
Locker ransomware does exactly what its name implies.
It locks people out of their data or systems entirely.
Crypto ransomware encrypts all or some of the victims files.
Scareware scares victims into believing they are infected with
ransomware.
Then lures the victim into purchasing the software to
remove it.
However, in reality this software just steals your data
or downloads additional malware.
In most cases, extortion, where in this process of victims data
is stolen and then the threatening to make it public or
sell it on the dark web.
Of.
So these are some of the popular or well known ransomware
ransomware attacks that occurred in history.
The colonial pipeline of 2021 was the impacted pipeline that
carries fuel from Texas to the southeastern States of America.
The company ended up paying 4.4 million a ransom within within
hours of the attack.
I personally remember this attack because it made it
difficult to find and purchase gas in my area here in Georgia.
In fact, our governor, who was Governor Kemp at the time and
cleared a state of emergency as a result of the petroleum
shortage on May 7th.
This also put in place price price.
Excuse me.
Price gouging statues to stop gas stations for charging a
ridiculous price due to the gas shortage?
Conti, which is a ransomware gang, attack the Costa Rican
government.
The first attack was on the Ministry of Finance, which come
to no surprise, right?
If I were to cyber criminal, I think I would like to lock up a
group with the name finance too.
That probably is where the money is at, and the Costa Rican
Ministry of Science, Innovation, Technology and
Telecommunications and the Ministry of Labor and Social
Security were also later attacked.
But then the first week, Costa Rica's president refused to pay
$10 million in ransom.
Conti then leaked almost all of the 672 gigabytes of data.
It took a new president to come into office before a state of
emergency was declared and another ransomware attack that
occurred was at the JBS USA USA Holdings, which is a beef
manufacturer there.
IT staffers initially notice problems when some of their
company servers and shortly thereafter received a message
demanding a ransom.
A joint company by the name of Pilgrims Pride Corp was also
affected by their attack.
Operations were restored within days, but not before, and they
made a payment of a loan $11 million in ransom.
Give me one second.
OK, I think this is where my slide messed up.
Let me go back.
OK, so as you can see from the graph, the share of
organizations being attacked by ransomware attacks as
significantly increased over the past years, there are a number
of different types of ransomwares.
Some of these include P clock, crypto wall, crypto blocker,
Tesla Crypt and many more.
All of these different types of ransomware work slightly
different, but all in the same thing.
It gives you a set of amount of time to pay a ransom.
Not doing so will result in your files being deleted or you never
gain access to them again.
One may ask, what impact does ransomware have on people in the
real world?
It has a huge impact on the businesses.
Ohh down, the business at these attacks ask for large amounts of
money in most cases and an example is is a telemarketing
firm based in Arkansas.
They had a ransomware incident that took place in October of
2019.
Their servers were held hostage and they were forced to pay the
Crooks to get the key just to get their systems back up and
running.
They lost hundreds of thousands of dollars due to this incident
and ended up laying off employees to stay afloat,
another incident that occurred at a doctor's office in Simi
Valley, CA.
They were infected with their ransomware and then ended up
shutting down their business because they lacked the funds to
pay their ransom.
I just gonna see from the previous state of incidents
ransomware can be life or death for a business.
In some situations I will state that I think it's unlikely for
most businesses to shut down due to not being able to pay a
ransom in most cases of criminal knows how much a company has.
Or maybe how much they are worth?
They wouldn't ask for an amount that you don't have as this will
prevent them from getting paid.
OK.
How to defend yourself as you may, as you may all know,
cybersecurity is in high demand right now, which may be the
reason some are you are going for a degree and are attending
this meeting today.
People are starting to take data security serious and making it a
priority.
Once the business loses data or control of their system or
servers, they're pretty much useless.
Backing up your data is definitely the best way to to
avoid being locked out of your data or critical files.
It's similar to having a backup version or installation of
Windows.
If you lose your data, then you can always restore it if you
have it backed up just simply wipe everything and restore your
old version of files, keeping your software up to date is very
important when it comes to security.
A great example of this is the use of virus removers.
That piece of software that has a virus database that has to be
the constantly updated.
The reason is because it has to be able to detect new versions
and methods of viruses and or malware.
If this database is an updated then it only knows the old
viruses.
Practicing safe surfing is one of those things you you not only
do or you not only want to do yourself, but you want to ensure
everyone that your business is falling as well.
Most attacks are sent to users via email, by people clicking
links.
It's in your best practices to make sure that emails that you
receive are coming from the exact recipients.
You should also avoid clicking or downloading links or
attachments from unknown sources.
These are quick ways to get you to download harmful files onto
your machine.
Avoid using public networks.
Many times we walk into a public building and use the Wi-Fi that
is available.
However, these connections are not always secure.
Is why so use a VPN whenever using a public network.
This one showed that your connection is secure no matter
where you are.
Companies can also buy something that is known as cyber
insurance.
Cyber insurance is exactly what it sounds like.
Insurance for your cyber or online related things.
Cyber insurance emerges in the late 90s due to the growth of
relying on technology and the increase of cyber threats.
Umm.
So since my presentation was over the topic of ransomware
attacks, I figured I would show you guys a list of
certifications for jobs in cyber security.
Now this image is one that I clipped from Coursera or
Coursera.
Whatever you want to call it, it displays a number of jobs in the
US that require all of these different cyber security
certifications.
Now for me personally, I haven't really decided on which route I
wanna take within the IT field.
Yet I'm leaning towards either going the cybersecurity route or
going for a network engineer slash admin role.
My goal as of now is a good ohh obtaining my continue A+ Cert
anyway I can hopefully land a help desk role and start gaining
some experience and then work my way up from there.
I wanted to gain some certifications while attending
school at Purdue.
However, balancing 2 jobs and trying to complete my studies, I
Purdue was kicking my ****.
I'm scheduled to take my eleven 01101 exam which is the first
part of the A+ exam on the 25th, which is in four days.
So wish me luck on that.
And these are my references.
And that is all.
Great job and yeah, good luck on your A+ part one.
Thank you.
I had a question slide but I don't know where it went.
Yeah.
Well, we can leave it open or anybody have any questions.
Yeah.
Oh, there it goes.
Yeah, there it is.
One doesn't seem like it so.
Yeah.
Again, great job and we will move on to who's next year,
Jerrod Collier.
I don't really know how to get my PowerPoint slide up.
OK.
So yeah, now that.
Uh Vontarius is down, so at the top right there's the share
button and you just select what screen you want to share from
there, or if what window kind of thing.
If you do have a video within your PowerPoint, you'll want to
click the share audio option as well, but.
OK.
Umm that helps.
Is.
This is it.
Stop at the top.
Oh yeah, I think you might have got it.
Is it right here?
It's still just loading.
Or seems like a black screen so far.
Umm.
OK, we see teams.
Uh.
Now as I said.
Now it looks like we're just looking at like the teams, UMM,
meeting that we're in right now.
So maybe just try hitting a stop sharing and then hit share
again.
And yeah, there's an option between picking like a one of
your monitors or your monitor, and then one should be screen or
windows rather.
And yeah, there you go.
OK.
OK, there it is.
Yep, you're good.
My thank you.
Uh, my PowerPoint presentations on terrorism.
And terrorism is defined as the systematic use of terror,
especially as a means of Croatian.
There are many different types, but for this one I was gonna go
on for organized terrorist groups like they're different
causes, like multiple different causes from the spill,
government poverty and equality culture.
Just Skype from law enforcement.
Multiple different types.
And the reason I chose this is to identify like the hot zones
of terrace using exploratory data analysis and the security
insights and patterns from the data.
They prioritizing threats to figure out which more important
and terrorist activities the different ideologies from
different cultures.
The This is formation in hate you and how deadly can be.
And I chose the global terrorism index for the basis for my
PowerPoint.
It bases the information off of fatally fatalities, injuries,
hostages and on, like a five year weighted average.
And it's done off of over 150 countries.
And the one I'm using right now is based off a 2023 and the top
ones are.
You're kind of also Israel, Mali, Pakistan and Syria.
And the main dominant regions for terrorism are like the
Middle East, North Africa, South Asia and Sub Saharan Africa.
And the main concern?
Common issues with both of those regions are just a historical
conflicts like it was based on even decades before terrorism
was much of a threat.
Or maybe even centuries before much terrorism was much of a
threat, as it is now.
These are the main terrorist groups as of now, and these
terrorist groups have been acting on since.
Really, the 1970s.
For the country with the highest terrorism index on the on my
list, Erica Basso.
It the reason why it's so high on there is because they they
lost control like immediately back in the 1980s, as I had in
my notes selection.
Actually, back in 2021, they had a long list of terrorist
activities going on there.
And the other big point about there is that these groups,
these terrorist groups, started here, they actively operate net
country even right now.
Israel as of now.
They were already a threat even back in the past.
Their issues started back in the 1940s, along with the Arab
Israeli conflict global arms dealing.
They have those people located still in their country as of
today.
Molly.
They still also have those two terrorist organizations located
in their country as of now today, and their humanitarian
crisis is so terrible that global peacekeeping
organizations, they can't even help out in the country like
they actually told them to leave before it was too dangerous.
And peacekeeping groups there meant to actually establish
peace in there.
They can't operate if the situation is too dangerous.
Next is Syria.
There are already also a a terrorist country, even back in
starting in the 1970s, their fear of main proponent of the
Arab Spring and Civil war.
Silverlight with Valley.
They also had a humanitarian crisis with large refugees.
They also still have a jihadist speaks, even actively in there
as well, even a lot more violent conflict in that country
compared to the other ones.
And less is Pakistan.
Well, not as violent and destructive as the other
organizations.
They still do possess a great amount of terrorist activities
over there, enough to to get number 5th on the list that I've
over 150 countries.
They still have the Taliban, and unfortunately the Taliban is
still active, actively operating there, and it unfortunately so
as a slowest growth to this day.
And that concludes my presentation here the
references.
All right. Great job.
Uh.
Does anybody have any questions?
Otherwise it will be a James Rigdon next.
James, you're still muted, by the way.
Can anyone see my screen or did it go away?
Nope, we can.
Uh, we can see and hear you.
Where did it go?
OK, now I've lost my screen so.
No worries.
Can you hear me now?
Take your time. Yep.
Can you hear me now?
OK, the importance of cybersecurity?
In today's digitally interconnected world, the
importance of cybersecurity cannot be overstated.
With the increasing reliance on technology in both home and
office environments, the risk of cyber threats has also risen
significantly.
One of the most effective ways to mitigate these risk is
through confront comprehensive cybersecurity training.
This class aims to highlight the importance of cybersecurity
training in both home and office settings and provide practical
insights into how individuals can protect themselves and their
organizations from cyber threats.
What is cybersecurity?
Cybersecurity refers to the practice of protecting computer
systems, networks, and data from unauthorized access,
exploitation, theft, or damages.
It encompasses various technologies, processes and
practices designed to safeguard digital assets and mitigate the
risk posed by cyber threats.
The primary goal of cybersecurity is to ensure the
confidentiality, confidentiality, integrity, and
availability of information and our resources in the face of
evolving cyber threats.
Cyber threats have evolved significantly over the years,
driven by advancements in technology and changes in
digital landscapes.
Initially, cyber threats were relatively simple and primarily
focused on disrupting or damaging computer systems.
However, with the proliferation of the Internet and increasing
interconnectedness, the devices cyber threads have become more
sophisticated and diverse.
Some key stages in the evolution of cyber threats include in the
80s and 90s, they were characterized as virus worms and
other forms of malware, and the rise of the Internet with the
widespread adoption of the Internet, cyber threats expanded
the scope and scale.
Phishing attacks were attackers attempted deceive users by
providing sensitive information.
Sophisticated attacks in 2010 saw the rise in cyber attacks
targeting organizations and governments advanced.
Persistent threats became increasingly common, with
attackers using sophisticated techniques to infiltrate
networks.
Ransomware 2010 the present ransomware attacks have become
one of the most significant threats in recent years.
In the ransomware attack, attackers encrypted victims data
and demand ransom for its release.
The exploitation of MIT and critical infrastructures is
present.
Threats.
With the proliferation of the IoT devices and increasing in
connectivity of critical infrastructure, cyber threads
expanded to targets.
These new thread services, vulnerabilities and such as
cameras, routers and small appliances.
Yeah, actually, I saw today that abiding is warning Americans
that hackers are going after our water.
So I don't know exactly what that means, but I just saw that
even as I'm going over this class there, they're still
planning to attack us.
So these are important things and why so security is the why
is secure cybersecurity training important security?
We must protect our computers, devices and data in the same way
that we secure the doors to our home or offices.
We must remember to take a long security long security mindset
to the online places and remember, technology alone
cannot protect you from everything.
Attackers attack where security is the weakest.
Humans are the first link in the defense, and cybersecurity is
everyone's responsibility.
The impacts the impacts of cyber attacks on individual
organizations, cyber attacks can have devastating consequences
for both individuals and organizations, impacting
financial stability, privacy, reputation, and even physical
security.
Some of the key impacts include financial losses, data breaches,
disruptions of service, reputational damage and
intellectual property theft.
Whether the most common attacks.
Malware is any programmer code that's created with the intent
to do harm to the computer network or server.
Malware is the most common type of attack, mostly because it's
term encompasses many subsets, such as ransomware, Trojan,
spyware, viruses, worms, keyloggers, bots, and
cryptojacking, and any other type of malware attack that
leverages software in a malicious way.
The next is a denial of service attack.
It is a malicious targeted attack that floods the network
with false requests.
In order to disrupt business operations, users are unable to
perform routine and necessary tasks such as accessing email,
websites, online accounts, or other resources that are
operated by the compromised computer or network.
While most also attacks do not even result in loss data or
typically resolve without paying a ransom, they cost the
organization time, money, and other resources in order to
restore critical business operations.
Fishing.
Fishing is a type of cyber attack that uses email, Sims,
phone, social media and social engineering techniques to entice
a victim to share sensitive information such as passwords or
account numbers.
On the right side, you'll see the type of phishing attacks.
There's spear fishing, whaling, SMS, ING, and Yashin, so whaling
is where they have a type of soldier, engines, social
engineering attack to a large senior or sea level executive
employee with the purpose of stealing money or information to
gain access to the main network.
So they'll go straight to the top and target the CEO because
they usually think that they have the they have the most
information insider threats.
IT teams that solely focus on finding adversaries external to
the organization only get half the picture inside.
Our threads are internal actors such as current or former
employees that pose danger to an organization because they have
direct access to the company network data or intellectual
property.
The best practice in service security, hygiene, strong
password management.
These complex and unique passwords for each account
consisting of a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters,
numbers and special characters avoid using easily guessable
information such as birthdays, names, or common phrases or as
passwords.
Consider using passphrases instead of passwords.
Use a reputable password manager to store and manage your
passwords across multiple accounts.
Always regularly update your passwords, especially after a
security breach or incident.
Multifactor authentication is another way to whether possible
to add an extra layer of security to your account using
two factor typically requires a second form of verification,
such as a code sent to your phone or email.
I didn't realize it.
Even if your password is compromised, multifactor helps
prevent unauthorized access to your accounts.
Regular sub 30 software updates and patches and share that
operating system, software application and firmwares are
updated with the latest security patches and updates.
Enable automatic updates whenever possible.
Remember, think before you click.
Be cautious when clicking on links or downloading attachments
from unknown or suspicious sources as they may became
malware or phishing attempts.
Encrypt your data both in transit and and at a rest to
protect it from unauthorized access or in to ception.
Use encryption protocols such as transport layer security for
securing data transmitted over the Internet, especially for
online transactions and communication by practicing good
cyber cybersecurity hygiene, individuals and organizations
can significantly reduce their vulnerability to cyber threats
and protect their digital assets and sensitive information from
exploitation and compromise.
Remember, cybersecurity is a shared responsibility, and
everyone plays a role in maintaining the secure and
resilient cyber ecosystem.
OK, here's a couple of scary statistics.
We expect global cybercrime to grow by 15% per year over the
next three years, reaching 10.5 trillion annually by 2025.
That's up from $6 trillion in 2021.
Ransomware reports that predicted the reach 265,000,000
by 2031, up from 20 million in 2021.
Figure is based on 30% year over year growth in damage cost over
the next 10 years.
That is the end of my presentation.
I'll take questions if you have them.
Alright, great job.
Anybody have any questions?
And doesn't look like it.
So we will move on next is Keisha Sauls.
Hello.
Alright, let me get it up and share my screen.
Hello Yep.
Give me a second.
I should have had it a long time ago.
Just listening to everybody else.
Alright.
No, James, I think you gotta stop sharing.
As you guys know right now I'm driving home, but I have my son
driving me home right now so I can be able to come on.
Come on, come on.
Come on on.
Come on. Yeah.
Press share screen.
Do this screen.
Can you see my screen?
Are we just lost it?
Just lost it.
That's not good.
We did see it, though, for a minute.
Here it is.
Go back to share screen.
OK.
Can you see the screen?
That seems like it's loading it's trying.
The Spanish sharing.
Has still not seeing anything.
Are you close to your destination by chance?
Because we could, maybe.
Make me go last. OK.
Have you go last?
Yeah.
Yeah, there's one more.
OK.
There's one.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
OK.
Well, we'll try it that way.
We'll go.
It's probably going to interference and you know how
much of Wi-Fi and stuff like that it's trying to.
Yeah, yeah.
OK, I'll go last.
It's funny, it's funny.
We see it now, but yeah, it's probably for the best.
Alright.
Well, unless you want to try.
OK, I'll try.
OK, let me.
Alright.
Presentation.
Right.
Yeah, it's able to hear it.
Well.
It's a little broken.
It is OK.
Yeah.
I'll wait till I go get home and then I'll go last.
Yeah, if you're if you're close, that's probably probably the
Cause able to right.
best.
I'm very close.
I'm on like, have 10 minutes away.
Alright.
Alright, perfect.
Stop sharing.
Alright.
Well, then, we are gonna move on to Enoch Ramirez.
Yes.
Hi everyone.
Let me see.
Let me share my screen.
Ohh.
Are you?
Alright.
Can everybody see it OK?
Yep.
Hold on.
I'm sorry, is everybody able to hear me?
Yeah, I think so.
I can hear you.
OK, awesome.
So my my presentation today is gonna be on the subject of
cybersecurity and fighting crimes against children.
So the agenda and the way that I'm gonna divide up the
presentation, we're gonna go ahead and go through the scope
of the threat.
So we're gonna talk about how prevalent we're gonna give you a
little bit of statistics on the prevalence of the cyber crime
that is geared towards children.
There's gonna be some specific concentrations that are gonna be
sex trafficking, sextortion and child ***********.
Umm, we're going to go into the roles of artificial intelligence
when it comes to fighting against cyber crime, digital
forensic, ethical hacking and the importance of cybersecurity
and and and the protection efforts.
So we're gonna touch a little bit about the the thread
detection, prevention of exploitation, incident response,
supports, the law enforcement and innovation and adaptation in
in this fight.
So before I go little bit about me.
I am a.
Umm I have been working in in social services for more than 10
years.
I currently hold a position as an investigator with the with
the state of Texas and investigate allegations of child
abuse and child neglect UM as part of my everyday life, I I
have to deal with a lot of children, children who have been
abused and in many ways I'm living in the state of Texas.
I see a lot of children that have been brought over the
border who with the intention of of, of being trafficked and and
and sexual exploitation and things of that sort.
So it is a subject that is very near and dear to my heart.
It's something that I've I've sat with too many children.
I believe that one is too many, that there may have horrible
stories to tell, and I think that if we as professionals
within within the cybersecurity community can do our part to
keep our children safe and and and prosecute.
People that are that are harming them in any way.
I think it is something worthwhile.
Umm, when I decided to change over from what I was doing and
to into the cybersecurity field, I wanted to maintain the very
essence of one of the greatest purposes that I believe that we
may have, and that is the protection of the most
vulnerable amongst us.
So even though that I'm moving away from social services, I
still wanna use my skills and my gifts in order to to protect the
the weakest amongst us.
So how prevalent is, umm the the the the threat?
So what is the scope of the threat?
Estimates say that there is about 500,000 predators are
active online predators every single day that are actively
seeking out children to exploit through different means.
And these these statistics come from the the Federal Bureau of
Investigations.
In 2021, there was an estimated 2 two 252,000 websites
containing materials depicting child abuse.
Some of these depictions are, UM, the descriptions and all of
them are are are horrible that include child murder and child
rape and things like that.
Things that that whether you believe it or not, there is
black markets out there for and they should be.
They should be definitely to be taken down in 2021.
The cyber Tip Line reported a 29.3 million allegations was
suspected child child sexual exploitation.
So when it when it comes to child sexual exploitation
online, this is one of the most difficult UM crimes to to fight
because many times this this crosses over to international
lines across different borders across different jurisdictions
and it's it's very difficult to to actually gather the the
evidence and the resources to be able to prosecute some of these
some of these crimes and a lot of them go on with impunity.
In 2021, the Internet Watch Foundation identified 84.9
million images and videos depicting child sexual
exploitation, say on social media sites such as tick tocks,
nap, Chat, Umm, Instagram and YouTube have seen a a high surge
of about 169% of material that had to be flagged and removed
because it contained nudity and other other materials ohm
indicative of Child Exploitation.
So umm, the types of crimes that are being that are being
perpetrated out there.
Ohh sorry, I'm uh child ***********.
When we talk about child ***********, this this has to do
with the dissemination, the production and dissemination of
pornographic materials that includes children.
Umm there's this, this, this, this crime has seen a high
surge.
In the in the last years, especially when the when the
COVID years 2021 seems to be the the worst year that has seen
with the production of these kinds of materials.
So that these materials are produced and they're shared peer
to peer, there's networks and and the dark web that are that
are set up to the specific distribution and the the
purchasing and selling of these materials.
Umm, which which, UM, which the bad actors stand allowed to to
to profit for?
Umm, a lot of a lot of these materials are encrypted and use
different sorts of of web based databases in order to hide where
they've been sourced from.
Umm.
Then there is sex trafficking.
Sex trafficking is the action of of UM.
It's it's, it's it's a form of human human slavery.
Ohm sex trafficking will target people from all sorts of ages,
but the most vulnerable will be children between the ages of 12
and 15.
I'm usually from from underdeveloped countries that
have been targeted to bring them across borders with the with the
explicit purpose of being used to being sexually exploited
under coercive tactics and exploitative tactics, usually
with the promise of a better life or with an arrangement.
And then they find out they come to a different country.
And now they are being forced to to to be sex slaves.
UM.
Then there is sextortion.
Sextortion is the act of using.
Umm, using coercive tactics and and social engineering to
manipulate children into releasing some of their
sensitive information and their their their compromising
photographs.
And then extorting them for money.
But the threats of releasing all of this to to their families and
friends.
So we have seen that some of the most vulnerable population that
will fall victims to sex, Storting, will be teenagers.
A lot of them.
Are young, young male children who have engaged in some sort of
online activity in which now they have released some of some
of their their their nude photographs and out there being
extorted for money.
And we've seen a surge in in in suicide due to this.
And then, umm, so these are things that are very, very, very
serious.
The operation under Underground Railroad and to in in in a in a
report in 2020, four reported that 49.6 million people across
the world worldwide are in some form or another.
Another of modern day slavery, 35% of those were children,
which would equal about 18.8 million victims.
UMA year with with uh, with human trafficking and sexual
trafficking.
So what?
What can cybersecurity Support towards the fight against
against crimes against children?
Umm.
Artificial intelligence has really opened a lot of different
doors to to be able to umm, to to to find umm perpetrators
through AI.
Different AI generated algorithms have been able to to
be implemented that will, umm be able to detect different UM,
different activity online through digital signatures and
and hashes and things that are flagged for different contents
so that they can be reviewed.
Uh AI also conducts behavioral analysis.
So the the amount of data that AI can can analyze at the same
time, they can recognize different patterns and be able
to recognize different different sectors that are being they're
being targeted for, for sexual exploitation.
Machine learning is a big part of this as well and I wanna show
you this video.
The most impressive thing about this video is that it was.
I've made about 10 years ago, so the the advances in technology
really, really are showcased here and let's let's take a
look.
I can't hear anything.
He's sharing your sound.
Oh yeah.
Sorry Enoc the you might have to reshare and then there's an
Look.
option at the top to share audio as well.
OK.
Ohh OK, I apologize.
Yeah, no worries.
I was double muted trying to tell you, but.
OK.
So include sound.
That's what I'm OK.
Yeah, like share it the same way and then there will be a a in a
share sound at the top.
OK.
Can you hear now on the outskirts of Amsterdam, a
Yep.
researcher poses as prey to catch a predator.
Online.
Ohh.
I'm sorry.
At a secret location on the outskirts of Amsterdam, a
researcher poses as prey to catch a predator online.
This is who he becomes, sweetie.
A 10 year old girl from the Philippines, researchers
couldn't post.
Possibly have used a real child for this, so they created
sweetie, but 10s of thousands of men who contacted her thought
they really were talking to a 10 year old girl in the
Philippines.
The researcher wants to remain anonymous because of the
paedophiles he's exposing.
Like all the men, here we go.
Umm, sometimes.
Here he logs into a chat room and within seconds like sharks.
Men are circling.
It is terrifying.
Yeah, it's really scary.
It breaks your stereotypical image of predator, because
before I thought they were all 45 year old males with a very
long quote and a little bit dodgy.
And now it appears that these guys have normal jobs.
Normal families are anyway, I think you guys get the get the
point.
Let's move.
Let's move on the the older.
Ohh so digital forensics.
Umm, when it comes to to digital forensics.
Uh, there's a lot that it can be offered.
UM, of course, this this has to do with the being able to to to
collect evidence that are that are gonna be crucial in order to
conduct investigations and actually prosecute the the, the,
the people that are actually doing this.
And you know, there's a lot that goes on to that was actually
being able to link something to somebody that they they have
actually committed that crime and the digital forensic
professionals can be crucial and being able to to prove these
things.
Umm, what are some of the tools that are that are that are used?
UM, well, there's there's data acquisition tools such as a FTK
imager, DD and Linux Health captures, which can which can
help with with actually acquiring the the data,
disseminating it, interpreting it, and then cooperating with
law enforcement in order to collect the evidence that that
is needed in order to move forward with some of these
investigations.
There's also.
UM, different set of software analysis that that can be used
UM.
Such as a UFD, UM and other, umm, autopsy UMUM forensic tools
that that can be users file on carving techniques.
There's hatch hash matching network, forensic password
cracking, registry analysis tools, and then there is
timeline and analysis which provides for a timeline of of of
how the things were enacted in order to to perpetrate a crime.
Umm.
As usual, hacking can be a great ally within the fight to to
fight crimes against children.
As within the roles of of penetration testing, UM, you
know penetration testers can can simulate attacks into vulnerable
networks that deal with with, with vulnerable sensitive
information such as, you know medical offices and and schools
and things like that, that might might already have information
on children that could be used in order to perpetrate some of
these.
Some of these acts and then there is vulnerability
assessments.
Umm, the the identification, the ranking and the reporting of the
vulnerabilities within a certain sector in order to protect these
children.
Then there is security.
Auditing is very important to go into different entities and be
able to audit their their their security measures and I would
suggest that you know, security auditing has to be done within
every household that has any children, because ultimately it
matters the most whenever these things might come and knock it's
ugly UM tiggly hand at our door, so we should be aware.
Then there are UM in intrusion detection, so setting up
different ways to be able to detect malicious activity,
detect bad actors and be able to deal with them in a certain way.
Then there's a social engineering awareness.
So a lot of the core version that is happening when it comes
to the exploitation of children and the and the dissemination of
of, of child ***********, a lot of the material is, is is self
made, meaning that the child has been socially engineered and
manipulated to produce its own contact and put it out there.
Umm, but there needs to be this awareness that is set out there
so that we can best defend against any possible threat
against our families and our children.
So strengthening the fight against against online Child
Exploitation.
So what?
What?
What can we do?
UM, of course.
In order to to umm to fight against this, we need to empower
our communities through knowledge and through prevention
preventive measures on on online Child Exploitation.
So this this takes the form of educating, educating the public,
disseminating different materials that are tailored to
different groups and different subsets of our community in
order to fight against these things.
Presentations at at at at at schools, umm seminars with her,
with with, with our children's uh seminars with, with parents
on how to set up proper defense mechanisms.
The proper umm.
Networks and protective measures such as firewalls and
encryptions and things like that to keep the information of our
children private and keep them safe from any any evil intrusion
out there.
And of course, there needs to be a collaborative effort with law
enforcement, so cybersecurity has a lot to offer to, to to, to
law enforcement being able to cooperate, to offer our
expertise and our skills in order to, umm, to prosecute some
of these same things out there.
Uh, as we have seen, the scope of the thread is way too big for
one single entity to be able to to to deal with some of the
challenges in the limitations are, well, there's a lot of
technical challenges with the encryptions and different
privacy tools and different privacy laws out there that that
that prohibit for full on investigations or uh for us to
look into different things because because of the nature of
the laws across across different regions and also the different
jurisdictions that have to be dealt with.
The other hurdle that we go in through our legal injuries, just
the uh umm jurisdiction hurdles.
So not every state operates the same way, and not every country
operates the same way.
And this is a crime that really has seen a a great advance as a
worldwide and enterprise and a lot of these very highly
organized organizations operate outside of the scope of the
United States and in, in, in, in countries that perhaps do not
have such such capabilities to be able to prosecute.
UM, so to conclude, UM, what?
What can we do?
This is our call to action.
I believe that everyone of you applaud you for choosing this.
This, this, this noble career, the the I.
I think I think that being cyber security or being part of UMIT
is such a such an amazing thing, but ultimately our goals are to
keep data safe.
But beyond data, they're human beings on the other side.
So there's a call for you to to, to advocate, to implement new
measures.
You know, you may be the next person that discovers the new
and amazing technology in order to to to, to increase the fight
and to give the world a better edge on how to protect the
children across the entire world.
Umm, there needs to be a fostering of collaboration and
their national collaboration.
This is not gonna be a fight that can only be fought from
from our shorelines, but this has to be a fight that the
entire cyber security and IT community across the world takes
on for the good of mankind and then we can also educate and
empower others.
And then we can also bring Support onto the victims.
These are my references.
Any questions?
Comments. Concerns?
Very well done.
I just want to say that was interesting topic.
That was all.
Thank you.
Yeah, that was that was really great.
Sadly, something happens, but it's something that is
definitely out there in a lot of technology is used to make that
happen, so this was really good.
Thank you.
I appreciate that.
Thank you.
For anybody else has a question or comment.
Otherwise, we will see Keisha.
How are you safe at home and ready.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
OK, alright, perfect.
Because they get OK, let's try this again.
Absolutely.
Share my screen.
Yeah, I see in the chat.
Jerrod, you already presented, so you're you're good to go if
you need to leave.
Are you guys seeing the screen?
Yeah, we can.
I'm trying to see if it'll clear, I mean share with the
audio as well.
Why, you know?
Only.
Are you able to hear?
Oh umm for audio move.
Just maybe back out for a second.
You haven't heard.
No.
The.
If you move your mouse actually to the top, there should be a
Talk.
share audio button.
There it goes.
OK.
Yeah, we can hear it now.
OK, OK.
Is it loud enough?
I think so, yeah.
There it goes.
Alright, we're trying to go into the presentation.
Please send me.
Are you able to associate?
Yeah, we see, like everything you see.
OK, so how do I?
I forgot how do you do that to make it just the press so I can
see my notes on the side.
I'm honestly not sure.
Do you have more than one screen?
No, I just have this one screen.
I think if you make, there's this.
Ohh it's OK.
If you make the one smaller, you can actually see the other one
on that side, but you have to make it so that that specific
window is assigned to it.
OK.
Oh, no, no.
I want it that way.
It's OK.
I'm not even finished struggle or bother bother with it.
I'm gonna just go ahead and say and then we'll just go through
all.
Alright, so I'm starting off with data mining for social
media.
And we all need 4.
Umm, so we all know that that it started long time ago and.
Let me go on to the next slide.
We all have the need for communicating social media and
relational factors such as having human interaction and
alternatives to speech and like 1.
OK.
Before mail services, horseback was the way to deliver messages
nationwide.
Since then, the world has never been the same.
You know, we revolve around it and we never miss a beat.
O with my agenda, I want to start off with what is data
mining for social social media, data mining for social media and
the timeline.
And the importance of data mining for social media.
And the influence of social media data mining.
And that there I was going practical methodologies that it
obtains.
And the impacts of that technology that it has on it
beginning with this agenda I bring to you an understanding of
human conduct within the digital environment, then exploring the
significance of extracting social insight, navigating
through social aspects and the ability to make strong and
confident decisions by considering a list of targets we
proceed with.
Data mining for social media, paying attention to what data
mining for social media really means.
It is a concept that has been the way of life since 2010.
Umm, in the 2000, 2010, major corporations as well as the
government not for profit organizations, engage in social
media mining to find out more about key populations, interests
which depends on the organization carrying out mining
may be customers, clients or citizenships for Penn State.
Moreover, data meetings for social media as follows as a
process to use big data to generate content from a website
and applications for massive files investigations.
Then the gathering of information from all types of
social media platforms, which are aggregated to analyze, to
identify patterns and trends, build foundations, ideological
exchange with social networks, and virtual internation with in
compressing techniques from computer science.
To the next one.
So the very first digital storage device and I'm pretty
sure everybody know what that was when it was in the back in
the days, it was an IBM in the 1950s and I'm pretty sure
everybody know what IBM is, that was the.
A big machine that collected data called Umm REMIC, which
means random access method accounting for control.
Also, IBM device duty was to be a harness to text data mining
that combine natural languages processing.
Artifactual intelligence and machine learning modules to
develop mining information from.
From unstructured text data in the 1960s, data mining has gone
under significant advancement, such as things called simple
mining, meaning that computers was just calculators that worked
with parameters, inputs and calculations, and outputs of
data.
The 70s emerge.
Really, relational databases management systems.
It has been the native part of data mining for social media
today and social media utilizes RDBMS with manage the users
profile, post and other structured data.
In the 80s, the debuted of management systems have taken
over in the data mining round and is used to resolve issues
and other line.
Sorry everyone.
Underlying data then, in the 1990s, the world came online.
The extraction of the useful information on the net was
growing ever so steadily, even though even though so few people
had access the booming year of the 2000s has social media on
arise with the very first platform in 2003 called Myspace.
By show of hands, who all had Myspace.
OK.
I'll just keep going.
Am I just wanted to see if anybody else had Myspace?
Cause I know I did.
Umm.
Then not too long after Facebook was launched 2004, even through
the collection of data started with calculations, the
investment in data collection data today Support surpassed the
expectations of brilliant because from the 1950s.
Ohhh my gosh sorry guys from the 1950s to now, data mining has
really dug deep to uncover patterns and behaviors from 2011
through 2015.
Data mining has became more extreme because Live Stream has
developed empirical studies to analytical methods that houses
association rules and came means of clustering and analyst bases
on relational data developments.
In the 2020, in the year 2020 through 2021, investigation
enhancements has come upon social networks due to the vast
need of behavioral stability and social impacts on that data
analytics.
According to a new Mark company, social media mining relies on
the meaningful information extracted from data piles that
emerge from interactions.
The extractions of unstructured data from social platforms will
uncover deep hitting content, such as links, behavior patterns
for finding insightful, but predictions for a business that
pertains and problematical issues, navigations of the
social.
Environment in the light of data mining for social media involves
detailed demographics and user profiles like gender, age,
location and initial interest.
Which sectors for of the audience empowerment of decision
making involves supporting the insight of social networks,
analysts and insurers, the process of informed choices, as
explored in interaction and indirect exchange between social
users with the intent to extract information towards all
supported decision making.
The inside discovery of that database requires well
development steps towards significant collections of data
to provide an organizations with framework and understanding
their data which makes data mining social media that much
more important due to process of necessary stages.
In this, in the discovery process, the stage are the
stages are as followed, extracting social insight,
navigating through social environment, empowerment,
decision making it in side discovery of databases, data
cleaning and eliminates of confused and loud data that
integrates merging of a light sources that a selections
handpicked for analyzing data transformation consolidates into
summary and irrigations procedures, that of mining
extracts a patterns that evolution discovers the truthful
and interesting patterns that repeat knowledge insight.
Big data is a social media mining because it's big data is
social media.
Mining because of the pivotal role it has in the collection of
massive data, every moment this to satisfy the digital platforms
that don't uh dominates our lives.
Marketing Insights gives an understanding to the behavior in
trends.
Customer segment segmentations based on demographics of better
engagement sentiment analysts focuses on the gauge of options
and reputations, identify and influencers, individuals who
impact brand perceptions and reaches the wider audience.
Fraud detection assist in detections the fraudulent acts
and suspicions and patterns, competitive advantage, ability
to be separate from the common and gain a competitive edge.
Brand management helps with the protection of reputation, user
behavior, prediction, data mining can predict users
behavior by I mean behaviors based on previous data, contact
optimizations, engagement metrics and optimal content
creations and tailors, databases, Christ management,
real time data mining inside, AIDS to organizational networks,
analysts understanding the social content of a network
structure.
Next.
The theological medical bomb?
The theological medical mythologically behind the social
media data mining is brought to us in six concepts that a
collection corpse collection, creation data compression,
relevance of dimension and subset extraction and quality
qualitative analyst.
The platform that we all aware of, such as Facebook, Instagram
and X, which is which is a which new name is for Twitter, for
those who did not know these harvest social media sites are
manufactured to data collecting data collect and to gain
first-hand knowledge on original insights to personal and non
personal information.
Is the compiling quantity of revelant relevant content for
analysts the use of data learning methods, compressed
dimensions in relevance, and identifying the most applicable
space within the courts?
Extractions of data from the most relevant space and further
analysts then execute the quantitative analysts on the
extracted subset, which will give and understanding of
sentiment options subjective and all other relevant data.
Protocol methodology of social media.
Mining the product on methodology behind social mining
media data mining has brought 5 concepts which.
Revolutionary interaction and businesses challenges and the
opportunities integration.
I mean integration of disciplined fundamental concepts
and algorithms and applications in real world in impacts the.
Purpose.
I mean the prepare us to see how this Saqeyra prepares us to see
how person to person interaction is being utilized and
transformed to conduct of business.
The extension of amount of data being generated through
interaction sharing and content compensation, or on many
platforms has consumers feedbacks and make it easier for
a customer to share their experience with the A company,
challenges and opportunities do come across as a new process
when trying to understand the data.
It is research and algorithm and tools development that are
essential to hardness towards social media mining.
Provides a coherent platform that allows users to explore the
basics within social media.
Mining it is also allowed users to converse within social media.
Data mining covers the fundamental concepts of emerging
issues within the social media data.
Then data mining is essential due to the effective algorithm.
Have and actionable patterns being extracted.
Applications are in various domains, but mainly in social
networks.
This is due to data mining techniques being used to analyze
large, complex and then dynamic social media and data.
The impact of the Technology, the capabilities of impact can
dig into the instruction of valuable insights from
behaviors, interaction technologies that predict
trends, content, all the forms of experience from experience,
then on the other hand, mean mining enables sentiment.
Analyze, I mean analysts, to aid to, to aid in customer
satisfaction, which.
Helps a business understand the perception of data mining for
social media, then analyzing the media platforms has been a way
to identify marketing and target campaigns to monitor social
media in the real time detecting emerging trends, crisis or
events.
From what I have learned, the media quality can be noisy based
on just or just incomplete mining.
Personal data has always been a privacy issue because we as
users will never know how our data is being used.
Sometimes decision making upon where we decide to use our data
can have effecting recommendation towards bias
data, meaning algorithms.
Moreover, the context of data mining for social media is
challenging because of the algorithmic bias and
discriminatory patterns that affect the way content is
distributed on social media platforms.
Consent is essential because data mining for I mean data
mining of a users information lacks to express to the likes
the explicit consent.
A crucial insight on protecting identity is necessary because
identity theft is real and and and I mean anonymizing, meising
anonymizing data helps prevent reidentification.
Research and resources should always be transparent to one
another for algorithm and transparent and increased trust
and equity fairness.
All across fairness across the board, from an ethical concern.
Uh concept in data mining for social media should be in
insured because sensitive attributes demand.
Responsible handling guidelines should be in place for
responsible use in data mining, because ethical consideration to
protect users, users maintain long time for maintaining a long
time trust.
So this next one is going to be a video that I'm going to be
showing that we'll.
Show.
The meaning of data mining.
Exactly.
The average spent almost an hour a day on Facebook scrolling,
liking and commenting.
Each book makes data.
Facebook is scooping up more than just your age, location and
relationship with data, working with details and political
campaigns to gather more than 50 personal things, including how
long you've lived in your home, have groceries you buy even what
kind of medication you're using.
I was a bit freaked out by it, for sure.
Tyler Woods has been on Facebook for eight years.
Lately, he feels like political ads following him around.
If you feel like you're information is being sold or
spread to parties or entities that you have no idea, it loses
that sense of trust that you feel in the medium.
The data like Tyler is especially useful as political
campaign spend an estimated $1.2 billion on digital ads this
election.
Michael and I approve this message.
I can look at the ZIP code.
I could Taylor specific interest within that ZIP code.
You can address those people directly with the message.
Then did you target so that group might be people who are
interested in coal issues?
Still, bitter runs the Republican digital ad firm, and
he says targeted Facebook ads alone have helped his candidates
move up in the polls.
And they're much cheaper than TV commercial.
This is liver dot for politicians, so being able to
get to people exactly where they are and motivate them to the
polls is totally essential.
The Hillary Clinton campaign says it's spending $30 million
on digital ads between now and Election Day.
Face big challenges, but we can solve them the same way families
do.
Working together on Facebook, we're in competition for your
attention with your best friend, your spouse, your kids.
And if we're not able to produce a a message or a video or
whatever it is that's actually compelling, you know, you know
perfectly well that you can just scroll past it or Click to any
other thing on the Internet.
Both campaigns match voter information with your Facebook
data to get out the vote.
Donald Trump's campaign also uses his huge Twitter following,
gathering personal data from Twitter, then matching it to
find you on Facebook and show you ads.
Donald Trump for president when Mr Trump sends out a tweet and
his tweets are retweeted or he's tweeted at, we're then able to
pull that data and use it.
Your favorite stores and brands are taking advantage of Facebook
data to get you to buy stuff, too.
The cofounders of online retailer a day say Facebook
generates 10% of their total business.
Facebook has been a game changer for brands and a similar way it
has been a game changer for your personal life.
It just allows you to reach so many people, but on the shared
interest that you all love, so you're able to target people
based on their woman.
They live in New York City between the ages of 18 and 65,
and they happen to like dogs.
Absolutely.
And I think what we would do from then on is just keep on
getting more and more more than fine privacy advocates call
Facebook's ad platform the surveillance business model.
Every click you make will impact what you see in the future.
It means that when you're going on Facebook, you're likely going
to be presented with ads and information that are based on
what your patterns have done in the past.
It's not neutral.
It's not supposed to be neutral and digital experts say that all
that data could be made more available to the government and
to hacker, and the more that's collected, the more it's a
target.
Hello today fans, thanks for checking out our YouTube
channel.

that's the end of that.
So in conclusion, that it might enforce social media platforms
has transformed our understanding and users
behaviors, performance and trends are policymakers,
researchers, and business owners have valued the aspects of
understanding and of insight throughout the presentation, we
focused on behaviors and it boils down to actions being
based off of ethical actions.
Applying those theories and participate, I mean practices to
my to my life would be beneficial because I will have
to have the ability to explain the reason behind mining or I
mean more accurately having the strike a balance between
technology advancement and responsibility on responsible
use is essential for data mining, for social media, while
safeguarding users rights and trust.
And that's in my reference that we have any questions?
A great job.
Great.
It's a funny how you know right now, Supreme Court is a ruling
on tick Tock.
So it's a good timing.
Uh-huh. Yeah.
OK, I'm gonna stop sharing my screen now.
Alright, well that is it for our presenters tonight.
I'm glad.
If nobody has any questions, umm, that'll be that.
Thanks everybody for coming.
Thank you to all the presenters.
Every presentation was great and everybody have a good evening
and have a good weekend.
Thank you everybody. Goodnight.
Goodnight.
Goodnight everyone.
Thanks for coming.
