Last week I had a wonderful experience attending the 2019 African Green Revolution Forum, held in Accra, Ghana. Many stakeholders, including political leaders, policymakers, researchers, and private sector and civil society representatives, gathered at the Forum, focusing on the role of the digital revolution in driving sustainable food system transformation in Africa. At a plenary […]

Recently I had the pleasure of engaging several events focusing on the intersection of food, nutrition, and health in China. First, I participated in the 3rd Belt & Road Initiative Global Health International Congress, held in Xi’an, which brought together stakeholders with a vision to strengthen exchanges and cooperation in health research for the Belt […]

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.

"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.

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.

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.

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.

Ethiopia possesses abundant water resources and hydropower potential, yet less than 5 percent of irrigable land in the Blue Nile basin has been developed for food production, and more than 80 percent of Ethiopians lack access to electricity. Consequently, the Ethiopian government is pursuing plans to develop hydropower and irrigation along the Blue Nile River in an effort to tap into this underused potential.

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 the nation’s gross domestic product (GDP), generates more than 85 percent of the foreign exchange earnings, and employs about 80 percent of the population. Ethiopia’s dependence on agriculture makes the country particularly vulnerable to the adverse impacts of climate change on crop and livestock production.

After a decade of stagnation during the 1990s, investments and human resource capacity in public agricultural research and development (R&D) averaged more than 20 percent growth in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) during 2001–2008. In 2008, the region spent $1.7 billion on agricultural R&D (in 2005 purchasing power parity dollars)—or $0.8 billion (in 2005 constant US dollars)—and employed more than 12,000 full-time equivalent (FTE) agricultural researchers.

Mechanization service providers in Myanmar were originally interviewed by telephone in early May 2020 in order to determine how their businesses were being affected by COVID-19 related restrictions. The results of that survey were published in Myanmar Strategy Support Program Policy Note 07. To trace the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their economic activities, a second phone survey of mechanization service providers was done in mid-June 2020. This Policy Note reports on the results of this second survey.

Tenable®, the exposure management company, today released its 2024 Tenable Cloud Risk Report, which examines the critical risks at play in modern cloud environments. Most alarmingly, nearly four in 10 organizations globally are leaving themselves exposed at the highest levels due to the “toxic cloud trilogy” of publicly exposed, critically vulnerable and highly privileged cloud workloads. Each of these misalignments alone introduces risk to cloud data, but the combination of all three drastically elevates the likelihood of exposure access by cyber attackers.

Security gaps caused by misconfigurations, risky entitlements and vulnerabilities combine to dramatically increase cloud risk. The Tenable Cloud Risk Report provides a deep dive into the most pressing cloud security issues observed in the first half of 2024, highlighting areas such as identities and permissions, workloads, storage resources, vulnerabilities, containers and Kubernetes. It also offers mitigation guidance for organizations seeking ways to limit exposures in the cloud.

Publicly exposed and highly privileged cloud data lead to data leaks. Critical vulnerabilities exacerbate the likelihood of incidents. The report reveals that a staggering 38% of organizations have cloud workloads that meet all three of these toxic cloud trilogy criteria, representing a perfect storm of exposure for cyber attackers to target. When bad actors exploit these exposures, incidents commonly include application disruptions, full system takeovers, and DDoS attacks that are often associated with ransomware. Scenarios like these could devastate an organization, with the 2024 average cost of a single data breach approaching $5 million.¹ 

Additional key findings from the report include: 

• 84% of organizations have risky access keys to cloud resources: The majority of organizations (84.2%) possess unused or longstanding access keys with critical or high severity excessive permissions, a significant security gap that poses substantial risk. 
• 23% of cloud identities have critical or high severity excessive permissions: Analysis of Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Microsoft Azure reveals that 23% of cloud identities, both human and non-human, have critical or high severity excessive permissions. 
• Critical vulnerabilities persist: Notably, CVE-2024-21626, a severe container escape vulnerability that could lead to the server host compromise, remained unremediated in over 80% of workloads even 40 days after its publishing. 
• 74% of organizations have publicly exposed storage: 74% of organizations have publicly exposed storage assets, including those in which sensitive data resides. This exposure, often due to unnecessary or excessive permissions, has been linked to increased ransomware attacks. 
• 78% of organizations have publicly accessible Kubernetes API servers: Of these, 41% also allow inbound internet access. Additionally, 58% of organizations have cluster-admin role bindings — which means that certain users have unrestricted control over all the Kubernetes environments.

“Our report reveals that an overwhelming number of organizations have access exposures in their cloud workloads of which they may not even be aware,” said Shai Morag, chief product officer, Tenable. “It’s not always about bad actors launching novel attacks. In many instances, misconfigurations and over-privileged access represent the highest risk for cloud data exposures. The good news is, many of these security gaps can be closed easily once they are known and exposed.”

The report reflects findings by the Tenable Cloud Research team based on telemetry from millions of cloud resources across multiple public cloud repositories, analyzed from January 1 through June 30, 2024.

Web applications often have the ability to interface with system functions and critical databases to add or modify data. By design, web applications need to enable customers and users access to this data.  This capability means that attackers are often able to leverage the same forms or other data entry methods to exploit flaws in web frameworks or other related software to bypass access controls. Web applications exist on remote servers or in cloud environments, and data is transmitted over public networks, presenting a very real and present attack path in the organization’s global attack vector. Web application security is a critical aspect to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of web applications. This report provides a combined view of data collected using the Tenable Web App Scanner and Tenable Vulnerability Management using Nessus.

Organizations need to know what web services are operating in the environment to ensure these web services are analyzed for current known vulnerabilities and attacks. Tenable Security Center along with Tenable Web App Scanning provides a thorough view of risks related to web services.  Leveraging both scan methods enables the security operations team and application developers to see risk and threat vectors from application frameworks and vulnerabilities on the host servers themselves.

Security and compliance frameworks, such as the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) Top 10, provides risk managers 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.  

The report and its components are 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 Security Center Feed under the category Threat Detection & Vulnerability Assessments. The requirements for this report are:

• Tenable Security Center 6.2.0
• Tenable Nessus 10.5.4
• 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.

At the turn of the 20th century, Jewish families scattered by migration could stay in touch only through letters. Jews in the Russian Empire and America wrote business letters, romantic letters, and emotionally intense family letters. But for many Jews who were unaccustomed to communicating their public and private thoughts in writing, correspondence was a challenge. How could they make sure their spelling was correct and they were organizing their thoughts properly? A popular solution was to consult brivnshtelers, Yiddish-language books of model letters. Dear Mendl, Dear Reyzl translates selections from these model-letter books and includes essays and annotations that illuminate their role as guides to a past culture.

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.

Components

Web Services - WAS Highest Vulnerabilities by Plugin Family: This component provides a summary of the highest risk affecting (severity Medium to Critical) vulnerabilities collected using Tenable Web App Scanner. The Plugin Family Summary tool enables security teams to see at a high level the percentage of high-risk vulnerabilities. In addition to the severity filter, a new filter called Web App Scanning, set to “Only Web App Results” ensures that only the vulnerabilities that are collected from the web application scan are presented.  The drill down will also go straight to the “Web App Scanning” tab in the Analysis view.

Web Services - Most Critical Web Application Vulnerabilities Discovered by Nessus: This component provides a summary of the highest risk affecting (severity Medium to Critical) vulnerabilities collected using Nessus. The Plugin Family Summary tool enables security teams to see at a high level the percentage of high-risk vulnerabilities. The component also uses the Plugin Family filter and only selects the CGI and Web Server families. In addition to the severity and Plugin Family filters, a new filter called Web App Scanning, set to “Exclude Web App Results” ensures that only the vulnerabilities that are collected from a Nessus scan are presented.  

Web Services - Host and Web Application SSL Vulnerabilities: This matrix compares the web server related vulnerabilities by severity and collection method. Each row is separated using the Web App Scanning filter.  The top row has the filter set to “Exclude Web App Results” and bottom row is set to “Only Web App Results”.  This view allows the security operations team to get a side-by-side view of web-based vulnerabilities linked by severity.  

Web Services - Most Critical OWASP 2021 Categories: This matrix provides an indicator for each OWASP 2021 category where vulnerabilities were detected using the Tenable Web App Scanner. In addition to Cross Reference filter, the matrix uses CVSSv3 Vectors to provide a higher level of risk. The vectors used are: Attack Vector: Network (AV:N), Attack Complexity: Low (AC:L), Privileges Required: None (PR). If the vulnerability has any of these vectors applied, the attacks on the asset are at a greater risk to being exploited, and need to be addressed immediately.

Web Services - Web App Vulnerabilities over last 50 days: This component provides a trend summary of the highest risk affecting (severity Medium to Critical) vulnerabilities collected using Tenable Web App Scanner.  The data points are calculated with the Vulnerability Last Observed set to within the last day, thus each query point in the graph will show the total vulnerabilities that were seen since the last query point. In addition to the date and severity filters, a new filter called Web App Scanning, set to “Only Web App Results” ensures that only the vulnerabilities that are collected from the web application scan are presented.
