"A desperate call for help interrupts holiday celebrations at the Bureau of Balance, and sends Taako, Magnus and Merle on a high-stakes mission to find and reclaim a fourth deadly relic: a powerful transmutation stone, hidden somewhere in the depths of a floating arcane laboratory that's home to the Doctors Maureen and Lucas Miller. An unknown menace has seized control of the stone, and is using it to transform the lab into a virulent pink crystal that spreads to everything it touches. It's only a matter of time before this sparkling disaster crash-lands, but in order to find the stone and save the whole planet from being King Midased, our heroes will have to fight their way through a gauntlet of rowdy robots and crystal golems, decide whether they can trust the evasive Lucas Miller, and solve the mystery of what— or who— has put them all in peril, before there's no world left to save." -- Provided by publisher

How can African agriculture adapt to climate change: The impact of climate change and adaptation on food production in low-income countries: Evidence from the Nile Basin, Ethiopia [in Amharic]

Growing consensus in the scientific community indicates that higher temperatures and changing precipitation levels resulting from climate change will depress crop yields in many countries over the coming decades. This is particularly true in low-income countries, where adaptive capacity is low. Many African countries are particularly vulnerable to climate change because their economies largely depend on climate-sensitive agricultural production.

How can African agriculture adapt to climate change: Analysis of the determinants of farmers' choice of adaptation methods and perceptions of climate change in the Nile Basin of Ethiopia [in Amharic]

"Ethiopia's agricultural sector, which is dominated by smallscale, mixed-crop, and livestock farming, is the mainstay of the country's economy. It constitutes more than half of the country's gross domestic product, generates more than 85 percent of foreign exchange earnings, and employs about 80 percent of the population. Unfortunately, Ethiopia's dependence on agriculture makes the country particularly vulnerable to the adverse impactsof climate change on crop and livestock production.

How can African agriculture adapt to climate change: Risk aversion in low-income countries: Experimental evidence from Ethiopia [in Amharic]

Agricultural production remains the main source of livelihood for rural communities in Sub-Saharan Africa, providing employment to more than 60 percent of the population and contributing about 30 percent of gross domestic product. With likely long-term changes in rainfall patterns and shifting temperature zones, climate change is expected to significantly affect agricultural production, which could be detrimental to the region’s food security and economic growth.




ap

How can African agriculture adapt to climate change: Perceptions of stakeholders on climate change and adaptation strategies in Ethiopia [in Amharic]

The potential adverse effects of climate change on Ethiopia’s agricultural sector are a major concern, particularly given the country’s dependence on agricultural production. Securing Ethiopia’s economic and social well-being in the face of climate change requires that policymakers and stakeholders work together to integrate climate change adaptation into the country’s development process.




ap

How can African agriculture adapt to climate change: Impacts of considering climate variability on investment decisions in Ethiopia [in Amharic]

Numerous studies indicate that agricultural production is sensitive to climate variability, and lack of infrastructure in developing countries increases vulnerability to extreme climate events. In Ethiopia, the historical climate record indicates frequent droughts and floods, which can devastate agricultural production and existing infrastructure. Too much precipitation can flood crops, rot or suffocate roots, and wash out roads, creating similar economic conditions to those resulting from drought.

Mr. Lincoln's T-mails : the untold story of how Abraham Lincoln used the telegraph to win the Civil War / Tom Wheeler.

The Civil War was the first "modern war." Because of the rapid changes in American society, Abraham Lincoln became president of a divided United States during a period of technological and social revolution. Among the many modern marvels that gave the North an advantage was the telegraph, which Lincoln used to stay connected to the forces in the field in almost real time. No leader in history had ever possessed such a powerful tool to gain control over a fractious situation. An eager student of technology, Lincoln had to learn to use the power of electronic messages. Without precedent to guide him, Lincoln began by reading the telegraph traffic among his generals. Then he used the telegraph to supplement his preferred form of communication-meetings and letters. He did not replace those face-to-face interactions. Through this experience, Lincoln crafted the best way to guide, reprimand, praise, reward, and encourage his commanders in the field. By paying close attention to Lincoln's "lightning messages," we see a great leader adapt to a new medium. No listener of this work of history will be able to miss the contemporary parallels. Watching Lincoln carefully word his messages-and follow up on those words with the right actions-offers a striking example for those who spend their days tapping out notes on computers and BlackBerrys.

2022 Threat Landscape Report

2022 began with concerns over supply chains and Software Bills of Material (SBOM) as organizations worldwide were forced to reconsider how they respond to incidents in anticipation of the next major event. Tenable’s Security Response Team (SRT) continuously monitors the threat landscape throughout the year, always at the forefront of trending vulnerabilities and security threats. This dashboard provides a summary of Tenable data that has been compiled over the past year.

In a year marked by hacktivism, ransomware and attacks targeting critical infrastructure in a turbulent macroeconomic environment, organizations struggled to keep pace with the demands on cybersecurity teams and resources. Attacks against critical infrastructure remained a common concern. Ransomware continued to wreak havoc, even as some groups had operations shuttered by law enforcement, collapsed under the weight of internal power struggles, or splintered into new groups. New and complex vulnerabilities emerged, providing remediation challenges.

Perhaps most alarming is that the vulnerabilities of years past continue to haunt organizations. In fact, known flaws were so prominent inn 2022 that they warranted a spot on Tenable’s list of top vulnerabilities of 2022. We cannot stress this enough: Threat actors continue to find success with known and proven exploitable vulnerabilities that organizations have failed to patch or remediate successfully.

The constant evolution of the modern digital environment introduces new challenges for security practitioners. Successful security programs must take a comprehensive approach and understand where the most sensitive data and systems reside and what vulnerabilities or misconfigurations pose the greatest risk. Given the brisk rate of digital transformation, a complete understanding of the external attack surface is paramount.

With thousands of new vulnerabilities patched each year, only a small subset will ever see active exploitation. Focusing resources on the vulnerabilities that are exploitable and understanding how attackers chain vulnerabilities and misconfigurations enables security teams to design comprehensive strategies to reduce their overall risk exposure.

The Tenable 2022 Threat Landscape Report (TLR) inspects key aspects of the cybersecurity landscape and describes how organizations can revise their programs to focus on reducing risk. The TLR covers:

  • Significant vulnerabilities disclosed and exploited throughout the year, including how common cloud misconfigurations can affect even large tech companies
  • The continuous transformation of the ransomware ecosystem and the rise of extortion-only threat groups
  • Ongoing risks, vulnerabilities and attacks within the software supply chain
  • Tactics used by advanced persistent threat groups to target organizations with cyber espionage as well as financially motivated attacks.
  • Breach factors and the challenges in analyzing breach data, given the limited information available and lack of detailed reporting requirements
  • Details of the key vulnerabilities affecting enterprise software

Tenable Research delivers world class cyber exposure intelligence, data science insights, alerts, and security advisories. The Tenable Research teams perform diverse work that builds the foundation of vulnerability management. The Security Response Team (SRT) tracks threat and vulnerability intelligence feeds and provides rapid insight to the Vulnerability Detection team, enabling them to quickly create plugins and tools that expedite vulnerability detection. This fast turnaround enables customers to gain immediate insight into their current risk posture. Tenable Research has released over 180,000 plugins and leads the industry on CVE coverage. Additionally, the SRT provides breakdowns for the latest vulnerabilities on the Tenable Blog and produces an annual Threat Landscape Report. The SRT continuously analyzes the evolving threat landscape, authors white papers, blogs, Cyber Exposure Alerts, and additional communications to provide customers with comprehensive information to evaluate cyber risk.

Security leaders need to SEE everything, PREDICT what matters most and ACT to address cyber risk and effectively align cybersecurity initiatives with business objectives. Tenable.sc discovers and analyzes assets continuously to provide an accurate and unified view of an organization’s security posture. The requirements for this dashboard is: Nessus.

Components

TLR 2022 – Top 5 Vulnerabilities:  This component features the top five vulnerabilities of 2022 as described in Tenable's 2022 Threat Landscape Report: Log4shell, Apache Log4j - CVE-2021-44228, Follina, Microsoft Support Diagnostic Tool - CVE-2022-30190, Atlassian Confluence Server and Data Center - CVE-2022-26134, ProxyShell, Microsoft Exchange Server - CVE-2021-34473, and Known Vulnerabilities - CVE-20XX-XXXX.

2022 TLR – Mitigation Tasks:  This component provides a list of patches that mitigate the key vulnerabilities in 2022, leveraging the CVEs identified in Tenable's 2022 Threat Landscape Report (TLR). The Remediation Summary tool uses the concept of a Patch Chain, and identifies the top patch to be remediated for the greatest risk reduction. When the top patch is applied, all other patches in the chain will be remediated.

2022 TLR – 90 Day Trend Analysis of Key Vulnerabilities: This component provides a 90-day analysis of the most notable vulnerabilities in 2022, leveraging the CVEs identified in Tenable's 2022 Threat Landscape Report (TLR). There are over 180 CVEs discussed in the TLR, which, combined with the trend line, helps risk managers determine how risk has been reduced over a period of 90 days. The vulnerability last observed filter is set to 1 day to display risk changes on a daily basis.

2022 TLR CVSS to VPR Heat Map: This component provides a correlation between CVSSv3 scores and Vulnerability Priority Rating (VPR) scoring for the key vulnerabilities listed in the 2022 Threat Landscape Report (TLR). The CVSSv3 scores are the standard scoring system used to describe the characteristics and severity of software vulnerabilities. Tenable's VPR helps organizations refine the severity level of vulnerabilities in the environment by leveraging data science analysis and threat modeling based on emerging threats. Each cell is comprised of a combination of cross-mapping of CVSS, VPR scoring, and 2022 CVE identifiers. Using a heat map approach, the filters begin in the left upper corner with vulnerabilities that present least risk.  Moving to the right and lower down the matrix the colors change darker from yellow to red as the risk levels increase.  Tenable recommends that operations teams prioritize remediation for risks in the lower right corners, and then work towards the upper left cells.

Tenable Web App Scanning Overview

The prevalence of web applications makes them a prime target for cyber criminals. Failure to secure web applications can lead to serious financial and reputational consequences. This dashboard provides a high-level summary of vulnerability data discovered by Tenable Web App Scanning.

Tenable Web App Scanning provides comprehensive and accurate vulnerability scanning and risk analysis by leveraging OWASP Top 10 risks to vulnerable web application components. Tenable provides comprehensive and automated vulnerability scanning for modern web applications using Dynamic Application Security Tests (DAST). The security and development teams leverage these detailed vulnerability scans of the application at any point in the development lifecycle and are able understand the true security risks of the web application.

Tenable Security Center uses a comprehensive list of attributes to increase visibility into web application vulnerabilities. Risk managers are able to focus on security challenges that pose the greatest threat and most risk by leveraging Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) and OWASP references. The dashboard provides a detailed view of the web application components and custom code vulnerabilities. Additionally, vulnerability details related to Log4J are provided , which displays any detected applications that are found to be vulnerable to Log4J exploits.

The dashboard and its components are available in the Tenable.sc Feed, a comprehensive collection of dashboards, reports, assurance report cards and assets. The dashboard can be easily located in the Tenable Security Center Feed under the category Security Industry Trends.

  • The requirements for this dashboard are:
  • Tenable Security Center 6.2.0
  • Tenable Web Application Scanner

Security leaders need to SEE everything, PREDICT what matters most and ACT to address cyber risk and effectively align cybersecurity initiatives with business objectives. Tenable Security Center discovers and analyzes assets continuously to provide an accurate and unified view of an organization's security posture.

Web App Scanning - Statistics: The matrix provides a quick overview of actionable metrics collected using Nessus and Tenable Web AppScanner. The first column shows a count of vulnerabilities with a CVSSv3 score present, followed by the most critical of vulnerabilities with a CVSSv3 score greater than 9.  The "Needs Review" column displays the vulnerabilities with CVSSv3 base score of 5 to 8. The "Remediated" column shows all vulnerabilities with a CVSSV3 score greater than 5 that have been remediated.  The last two columns are focused on OWASP based vulnerabilities. The matrix provides two rows, the top showing vulnerabilities detected by Nessus.

Web App Scanning - Log4Shell Vulnerabilities: This chart presents a list of log4shell vulnerabilities detected by both Nessus and Tenable Web App Scanning. The chart uses the plugin name string and "Include Web App Results" to provide ring segments for each discovered vulnerability. Tenable recommends that these applications be prioritized immediately for remediation efforts.

Web App Scanning - OWASP 2021 Categories: This matrix provides a count of assets and vulnerabilities for each OWASP 2021 category that were detected using the Tenable Web App Scanner. Security and compliance frameworks, such as the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) Top 10, enables risk managers to gain insight into methods used by adversaries to exploit common flaws and misconfigurations.  Tenable Web App Scanner attributes vulnerabilities using the Cross Reference field to link to all published OWASP versions. Upon completion of the web application scan, the vulnerabilities detected and linked to OWASP 2021 provide an industry best practice approach to mitigating vulnerabilities.

Web App Scanning - Tenable Detected Applications Vulnerable to Log4Shell: The table presents a list of assets detected by both Nessus and Tenable Web App Scanning that are vulnerable to log4shell. The chart uses the plugin name string and "Include Web App Results" to provide entries for assets with the log4shell vulnerability. Tenable recommends that these applications be prioritized immediately for remediation efforts.
