From e-commerce to online banking, the world is interconnected with web applications. The internet provides a contactless method to conduct office meetings, engage with healthcare professionals, shop, attend classes, and more.  Protecting data has never been more important. Failure to secure web applications can lead to serious financial and reputational consequences. According to statistics published in Tenable's Threat Landscape Report, web application vulnerabilities continue to repeatedly pose a significant threat to organizations.

Web application security refers to the practices employed to detect and mitigate threats and vulnerabilities that may compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of web applications. As the internet has evolved to become an integral part of how organizations conduct business, web applications have become increasing popular and essential to meet the requirements. This growing popularity of web applications and online transactions provides lucrative targets for cybercriminals. Data presented within this report highlights the top most vulnerable web applications and assets at risk for exploitation.

This report leverages data from Tenable Web App Scanning, a comprehensive and automated vulnerability scanning tool for modern web applications. Organizations can perform Dynamic Application Security Tests (DAST) on any application, anywhere, at any point in the application lifecycle. Of specific importance is the Tenable Web App Scanning ability to scan for vulnerabilities from the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) Top 10 risks, and provide comprehensive and accurate vulnerability data. 

The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) is a non-profit foundation that provides community-driven consensus insight into web application security concerns. The OWASP Top 10 list highlights several different aspects of web-based security, such as Cross-Site Scripting attacks, security misconfigurations, and sensitive data exposure. The focus of the OWASP Top 10 is to reduce risk across the most vulnerable aspects of web applications across the internet. Following these guidelines enables organizations to reduce risk of organizational and customer data theft. 

In addition, Common Vulnerability and Exposures (CVE), and other configuration tests provide insight into thousands of related vulnerabilities and misconfigurations. Vulnerability data presented in this report leverages all the gathered web application vulnerability information to provide organizations with a method to break the vulnerability cycle. The data provided in the report enables organizations to better communicate risk, prioritize patching efforts, and reduce the attack surface. 

This report is available in the Tenable.sc Feed, a comprehensive collection of dashboards, reports, Assurance Report Cards, and assets. The report can be easily located in the Tenable.sc Feed under the category Executive. The report requirements are:

• Tenable.sc 6.2.0
• Tenable Web App Scanning

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.

Die Entwicklungsländer haben seit dem Jahr 2000 Fortschritte bei der Hungerreduzierung gemacht. Der Welthunger-Index 2015 (WHI) zeigt, dass die Hungerwerte dort insgesamt um 27 Prozent gesunken sind. Dennoch bleibt die Hungersituation weltweit „ernst“. In diesem Jahr hat IFPRI zum zehnten Mal den weltweiten Hunger mithilfe dieses multidimensionalen Instruments erfasst.

Der Welthunger-Index (WHI) 2015 ist der zehnte in einer Reihe jährlicher Berichte, in denen die Hungersituation weltweit, nach Regionen und auf Länderebene mithilfe eines multidimensionalen Ansatzs dargestellt wird. Er zeigt, dass weltweit seit dem Jahr 2000 Fortschritte bei der Bekämpfung von Hunger erzielt wurden, dass aber angesichts noch immer „ernster“ oder „sehr ernster“ Hungerwerte in 52 Ländern nach wie vor viel zu tun bleibt. Das Thema des vorliegenden Berichts lautet „Hunger und bewaffnete Konflikte“. Konflikt und Hunger stehen in enger Beziehung.

Die Entwicklungsländer konnten seit dem Jahr 2000 beträchtliche Erfolge bei der Reduzierung des Hungers erzielen. Der Welthunger-Index (WHI) 2016 zeigt, dass der Hungerwert in den Entwicklungsländern insgesamt um 29 Prozent gesunken ist. Die Fortschritte sind jedoch nicht überall gleich groß; zwischen Regionen, Ländern und innerhalb von Ländern gibt es erhebliche Unterschiede.

Der Welthunger-Index (WHI) 2016 ist der elfte in einer Reihe jährlicher Berichte, in denen die Hungersituation weltweit, nach Regionen und auf Länderebene mithilfe eines multidimensionalen Ansatzes dargestellt wird. Er zeigt, dass seit dem Jahr 2000 weltweit Fortschritte bei der Bekämpfung von Hunger gemacht wurden, dass aber angesichts noch immer „ernster“ oder „sehr ernster“ Hungerwerte in 50 Ländern nach wie vor viel zu tun bleibt. Der vorliegende Bericht stellt den Paradigmenwechsel in der internationalen Zusammenarbeit durch die Agenda 2030 für nachhaltige Entwicklung vor.

Der Welthunger-Index (WHI) 2017 zeigt langfristige Fortschritte in der Reduzierung des Hungers in der Welt. Diese Fortschritte waren allerdings ungleich verteilt. Nach wie vor leiden Millionen von Menschen unter chronischem Hunger, und an vielen Orten herrschen akute Nahrungskrisen und gar Hungersnöte. Laut den WHI-Werten 2017 ist der Hunger weltweit gegenüber 2000 um 27 Prozent gesunken. In einem der 119 Länder, die im diesjährigen Bericht bewertet werden, ist die Situation als „gravierend“ einzustufen; sieben Länder entsprechen auf der WHI-Schweregradskala der Kategorie „sehr ernst“.

Der Welthunger-Index (WHI) 2017 ist der zwölfte in einer Reihe jährlicher Berichte, in denen die Hungersituation weltweit, nach Regionen, auf Länder- und auf nationaler Ebene mithilfe eines multidimensionalen Ansatzes dargestellt wird. Er zeigt, dass seit dem Jahr 2000 weltweit Fortschritte bei der Bekämpfung von Hunger gemacht wurden, die jedoch mit noch immer „ernsten“ oder „sehr ernsten“ Hungerwerten in 51 Ländern sowie einem „gravierenden“ Wert in einem Land ungleich verteilt sind.

L'enorme potentiel agricole de la Republique Democratiqu du Congo (RDC) est bien documente. Le pays est doté de plus de deux millions de kilomètres carrés (km²) de terres, dont 800 mille sont arables, et pourtant, la portion de terres cultivées ne s’élève qu’à 10 pour cent. La RDC bénéficie également de conditions climatiques et météorologiques favorables, permettant plusieurs récoltes de nombreuses cultures chaque année.

Ce document présente une analyse des chaînes de valeur agroalimentaires de manioc, de riz, de lait et de poisson le long du corridor économique entre les capitales provinciales de Bukavu (Sud-Kivu) et Kalemie (Tanganyika) situées dans la partie orientale de la République démocratique du Congo (RDC). Les principales données utilisées pour cette étude proviennent d’enquêtes menées en 2021 auprès d’environ 3000 acteurs conomiques familiaux, y compris des agriculteurs, des transformateurs et des intermédiaires, actifs dans une ou plusieurs des quatre filières ciblées.

En 2022, le monde a subi des crises multiples. Les perturbations des systèmes alimentaires dues à la longue pandémie de COVID-19, des catastrophes naturelles majeures, des troubles civils, l’instabilité politique et les impacts croissants du changement climatique ont persisté, tandis qe l’inflation et la guerre entre la Russie et l’Ukraine ont exacerbé la crise alimentaire mondiale et la crise des engrais.

Gravitational microlensing is one of the most sensitive methods we have to search for macroscopic dark matter. NASA’s upcoming Roman Space Telescope will dramatically advance this search by performing a comprehensive microlensing survey of the Galactic Bulge at sensitivities orders of magnitude stronger than existing telescopes. Its unprecedented sensitivity will provide the opportunity to search for dark matter across a wide range of unexplored parameter space; however, it will also pose new challenges, including an irreducible astrophysical background in the form of free-floating planets. In this talk, I will discuss how population-level modeling can help mitigate this background and open the potential for Roman to make a first discovery of macroscopic dark matter in our galaxy.

Susan Moran’s work is inspired by the natural world and our place in it. She collects and arranges images, builds and subtracts, and uses processes that suit the concepts and gives the pieces a reason for existing as textiles. Simultaneously she strives to make the medium influence the outcome in such a way that cloth and image meld together. Moran uses silkscreen, shibori, and stitching to embed images from her daily walks into the fabric. it's important that the work builds slowly, involving meditative processes that connect her to the cloth and the source of the design.

Steve Glazer earned his BFA in art with a concentration in ceramics from Eastern Michigan University, a master’s degree in art from Central Michigan University, and MFA in fine arts and ceramics from Indiana State University. Since 2004, Glazer has been lead faculty and head of ceramics at Henry Ford College, and former faculty of Concord College (WV) and North Dakota State University. His artwork has been exhibited throughout the country.

Throughout his adult life the art of Steve Glazer has been done as a response to his environment. From a series of shadow box type pieces containing life like ceramic fish while teaching at a Catholic woman’s college, to building 8’ tall ceramic “skyscrapers” that barely fit into the display spaces while teaching in North Dakota, where no skyscrapers exist, and then creating installations commenting on living in Appalachia while teaching in southern West Virginia. After returning home to Detroit, Glazer began his griot series, the “Motor City Griot Society” masks, the faces of the superheroes that will save Detroit, and more recently the “Motor City Griot Patrol” creatures that will protect the city of Detroit.

In Fall 2024, the Lane Hall exhibit space will feature works by two exciting visual artists: Rafael Neis and Anne Vetter.

Vetter’s photography exhibition, “Love is Not the Last Room” is made in collaboration with the artist’s family—their parents, their brothers, and their partner. It is an examination of play and leisure, tension and freedom. Through photographs, Vetter processes how they learned to relate in their most intimate connections, and how they relate now. This project explores queer familial relationships, and uses Vetter’s own gender fluidity as a lens to examine the gendered experiences of their family members.

Neis and Vetter’s exhibits will be on view from September 3 - December 6, 2024. A reception with the artists is planned for September 17 from 5-6:30 PM in the exhibit space.
The fall exhibits are presented with support from the Department of Women's & Gender Studies, the Frankel Center for Judaic Studies, the Frankel Institute for Advanced Judaic Studies, and the CEW+ Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

KIN assembles the queer beings who dwell beyond the confines of binary gender and species categories. It highlights communities whose members and affiliations strain normative arrangements of “nature” and “culture.” KIN transmutes these categories by its joinings of oddbods and oddkin. It envisions worlds in which creatures form kinship beyond the monogamous, cisheterosexual, human family unit.

Transversing painting, drawing, comics, and installation, KIN’s menagerie of media, draws on ancient Jewish sources, demi-fictional autobiography, deviant zoology, and a love for the materiality of mark-making itself. Process, rather than product; becoming, rather than stasis; collaboration rather than closure: this is KIN’s hope.

The act of embroidering and weaving designs onto cloth is deeply rooted in Ukrainian traditions. Embellished clothing (sorochky), ritual cloths (rushnyky), and household textiles accompany a person from birth until death, punctuating important life events in between. A variety of embroidery patterns are used throughout Ukraine; some stitches are universally known, while others are region-specific. Ukrainian embroidered clothing is now officially celebrated with an annual Vyshyvanka Day observed throughout the world in May.
