TORONTO – The Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) is warning the public about aggressive promotion of Crestview Exploration Inc.

Tenable®, Inc. the exposure management company, today announced that Bank of Yokohama, one of the largest of the major regional banks in Japan, has chosen Tenable Identity Exposure to protect its Active Directory and enhance the bank’s ability to protect its internal systems from cyber threats.

Bank of Yokohama, based in Kanagawa Prefecture and Tokyo Metropolitan, is committed to enhancing industry security standards. In 2023, it collaborated with 19 other regional banks to establish CMS-CSIRT, an organization providing mutual cybersecurity support. Unlike megabanks, regional banks often face resource and budget constraints, making such collaborative efforts crucial for implementing effective security programs.

As part of its objectives for FY 2023, the Bank of Yokohama wanted to improve Active Directory (AD) security as it’s the most crucial system in the bank’s intranet. Previously, the bank only applied security patches periodically without any tool or system to detect Active Directory misconfigurations or attacks. Given the evolving threat landscape and rise of attacks involving an identity breach, enhancing the security of Active Directory became a top priority.

“Attackers who have infiltrated an organization's internal system or who wield ransomware and other malware, almost always make a beeline for Active Directory,” said Mr. Akihiro Fushimi, Leader, Concordia Financial Group ICT Governance Department, Security Governance Section and Bank of Yokohama ICT Planning & Promotion Department, Security Governance Section. “They steal user account privileges and elevate them via Active Directory, to enable them to access important data. So, securing Active Directory was an area that we wanted to invest in.”

Bank of Yokohama already used Tenable Security Center for vulnerability management and trusted Tenable's reliability. Selecting Tenable Identity Exposure was an easy decision, with its fast, agentless feature ensuring a seamless deployment process.

The deployment of Tenable Identity Exposure provided the Bank of Yokohama with an in-depth view of its Active Directory. The bank can now accurately identify every AD account, including dormant accounts and machine identities, and understand the potential risks of exploitation by malicious actors due to the multi-functional capabilities of Active Directory. Tenable Identity Exposure detects many of the techniques used in cyber attacks to gain elevated privileges and enable lateral movement, including DCShadow, Brute Force, Password Spraying, Golden Ticket and more.

“Previously, we were under the impression that all we needed to do was to apply patches and manage accounts. Now, with the deployment of Tenable Identity Exposure, we are physically able to see the risk of exploitation. This, I believe, is the positive impact of deploying Tenable Identity Exposure. Its alert functions are comprehensive—it detects vulnerabilities as well as misconfigurations,” said Mr. Shinnosuke Shimada, Bank of Yokohama ICT Planning & Promotion Department, Security, Governance Section.

“Many organizations struggle to maintain proper Active Directory security as their domains grow more complex, often leaving flaws undetected until a major incident occurs. Given the high-profile attacks involving AD in recent years, it's crucial to prioritize AD security within the overall cybersecurity strategy,” said Naoya Kishima, Country Manager, Tenable Japan. “Bank of Yokohama recognizes this need, and we're pleased to support them in their security journey.”

When it comes to big questions about the economy, we're still kind of in the dark ages. Why do some economies grow so much faster than others? How long is the next recession going to last? How do we stop inflation without wrecking the rest of the economy? These questions are the domain of macroeconomics. But even some macroeconomists themselves admit: While we have many theories about how the economy works, we have very few satisfying answers.

Emi Nakamura wants to change all that. She's a superstar economist who is a pioneer in the field of "empirical macroeconomics." She finds clever ways of using data to untangle some of the oldest mysteries in macroeconomics, about the invisible hand, the consequences of government spending, and the inner workings of inflation.

Recently we called her up to ask her why the economy is so difficult to understand in first place, and how she's trying to find answers anyway. She gets into all of that, and how Jeff Goldblum shaped her career as an economist, in this episode.

This show was hosted by Jeff Guo and Nick Fountain. It was produced by Dave Blanchard with help from Sam Yellowhorse Kesler. It was engineered by Josephine Nyounai and fact checked by Sierra Juarez. Keith Romer edited the show. Alex Goldmark is our executive producer.

It is so expensive to have a kid in the United States. The U.S. is one of just a handful of countries worldwide with no federal paid parental leave; it offers functionally no public childcare (and private childcare is wildly expensive); and women can expect their pay to take a hit after becoming a parent. (Incidentally, men's wages tend to rise after becoming fathers.)

But outside the U.S., many countries desperately want kids to be born inside their borders. One reason? Many countries are facing a looming problem in their population demographics: they have a ton of aging workers, fewer working-age people paying taxes, and not enough new babies being born to become future workers and taxpayers. And some countries are throwing money at the problem, offering parents generous benefits, even including straight-up cash for kids.

So if the U.S. makes it very hard to have kids, but other countries are willing to pay you for having them....maybe you can see the opportunity here. Very economic, and very pregnant, host Mary Childs did. Which is why she went benefits shopping around the world. Between Sweden, Singapore, South Korea, Estonia, and Canada, who will offer her the best deal for her pregnancy?
