Maintaining Data Protection Controls

Many data protection regulations, such as PCI DSS and HIPAA, levy heavy fines for data breaches of sensitive information. Effective data protection controls are necessary to avoid breaches of regulatory, statutory, or contractual obligations related to sensitive data.

Organizations that handle sensitive data, such as healthcare and credit card information, are required to audit data protection controls on an annual basis. Leveraging Tenable reports enables organizations to protect data in accordance with business risk posture for Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability (CIA).

The National Institute of Standards (NIST) Special Publication 800-53 provides comprehensive guidance for a secure infrastructure, including guidance on data protection and encryption. The information provided in Tenable dashboards and reports enables Risk Managers and Chief Privacy Officers to demonstrate to third parties and regulatory bodies that sensitive data is protected in accordance with Data Loss Prevention requirements.

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) is a control framework, which has high level controls that align with
ISO 27001, NIST SP 800-53, and others. The Cybersecurity Framework’s prioritized, flexible, and cost-effective approach helps to promote the protection and resilience of critical infrastructure and other sectors important to the economy and national security. Many regulating bodies accept evidence documentation of compliance with the NIST CSF as assurance that the organization has effective controls in place to meet their security requirements. The HIPAA Security Rule Crosswalk to NIST Cybersecurity Framework is an example of a regulation aligning with NIST.

The report is available in the Tenable.sc Feed, a comprehensive collection of dashboards, reports, assurance report cards and assets. The report is located in the Tenable.sc Feed under the category Threat Detection & Vulnerability Assessments.

The report requirements are:

Tenable.sc 5.9.0
Nessus 10.2.0

Leveraging Tenable reports enables operations teams to verify that appropriate protections are in place for data at rest, data in transit, and removable media. Security leaders need to SEE everything, PREDICT what matters most and ACT to address cyber risk and effectively align cybersecurity initiatives with business objectives.

Chapters

Executive Summary: This chapter provides a summary view on the state of protections controls relating to Certificates, Encryption, and Confidentiality and Protected Information.

Data Protection Details – This chapter provides details on the state of protection controls in the environment for Certificates, Encryption, and Confidentiality and Protected Information, which are described below.

  • Certificates – This section displays findings for hosts with expired certificates, certificates that are expiring soon, untrusted certificates and self-signed certificates.  Expired certificates and other certificate problems cause a denial of service, man-in-the-middle, and trust-related concerns for organizations.  
  • SSL/TLS Vulnerability Summary – This section provides an overview of systems and vulnerabilities related to SSL/TLS.  The SSL/TLS Vulnerabilities by Type element displays a count of systems and vulnerabilities related to SSLv2 and SSLv3 in the first two rows. From the third row down, information is provided on all the systems running any version of TLSv1 and higher.
  • Encryption – This section provides an overview of systems and vulnerabilities related to SSL/TLS and Encryption/Cryptographic Compliance. Information presented in this section highlights issues such as weak hashing algorithms and keys as well as the use of insecure encryption ciphers. Many of these issues are the result of misconfigurations or use of outdated encryption methods. This detailed information also highlights vulnerabilities that can be exploited by attackers. Tenable recommends that security teams review the data to determine the risk to the organization.
  • Confidentiality of Protected Information – This section provides an overview of systems and vulnerabilities related to Security Requirement 3.13.16 in the NIST Special Publication 800-171. Revision 2 provides guidance to protect the confidentiality of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) at rest and maps to Security Control SC-28 of NIST Special Publication 800-53.  
  • File Content Audit Results – The following section displays File Content Audit Results. The first two rows of the File Contents Audit Results Compliance Checks provide the total count of Passed checks, Failed checks, and checks requiring a manual review. The first row, ‘Check Count’, provides a count of the current checks per check status. The second row, ‘Check Ratio’, provides a ratio view of check status. The three columns together total 100%. The last two rows provide a system count analysis. The third row, ‘System Count’, provides the number of systems with at least one audit check in the applicable state. The last row, ‘System Ratio’, provides a percentage of systems with at least one audit check in the applicable state.

Dear Jacob / Sabelo Soweto Mandlanzi.

Dear reader, The fact that Jacob Zuma is the twelfth president of ANC and Jacob had twelve sons makes me sigh because folks may lie but numbers dont. Besides, Jacobs successor was Joseph while Jacob Zumas brother is Joseph, now this offsets my axis. My reasons to conduct an audit on these signs of fate finds more evidencecould Jacobs life be the pieces of the puzzle of Jacob Zumas that weve been looking for? What you see right now is the answer. Dear Jacob is a radical connection between these two Jacobs: the grandson of Abraham and the honorable president of the Republic of South Africa, Mr. Jacob G. Zuma. This is billion miles ahead of inspiration, a healthy root of the political expertise and leadership evolution. But here I focus on presenting Jacob as Jacob Zuma, human yet divine, dejected, rejected, and despised, but chosen. In this letter, the worst and the best moments of Jacob are prognostic to the life of Jacob Zuma, but negativity is to me a myth because positivity is my path. The story that brings nemesis to the enemies of positive reception is found from Genesis 25:19 and beyond in the King James Bible. I have cared for the meanings on the wall because words can start a war. Not only will you see Jacob Zuma different after reading this book, but you should be able to predict the next events that might occur as the clock of life moves toward the beginning.

Dear Katharine courageous : the letters of Sir Edward Grey to Katharine Lyttelton.

Sir Edward Grey (1862-1933) was Britain's longest-serving Foreign Secretary, holding office from December 1905 to December 1916. Best known today for his observation on the eve of World War I, "The lamps are going out all over Europe; we won't see them lit again in our lifetime," Grey had worked tirelessly to keep the lamps on, while keeping Britain and the Empire secure. During his eventful and stressful years in office, and before and after, Grey corresponded extensively with Katharine Lyttelton (1860-1943), the wife of a high-ranking general who served as the first Chief of the General Staff. Though they were probably not lovers-readers can decide for themselves-the relationship was an intimate one, and Grey was able confide in her thoughts and feelings he concealed from Cabinet colleagues and his male friends. The letters, selected and edited by Jeff Lipkes, reveal a side to Grey that has not been fully appreciated. He was amusing, shrewd, and humane, and a close observer of individuals as well as of nature. His observations still speak to us. They will resonate with everyone who loves the outdoors and solitude. Those coping with an overpowering grief, with a strong distaste for their work, or with approaching blindness may find them especially poignant. But others not so afflicted may discover they have become kinder, more courageous, and more observant for having read Grey's letters. Dear Kathanine Courageous includes an eighty-page introduction by Lipkes on Grey, Lytellton, and their circle, and an Afterword on the Foreign Secretary's private life.

Dear life, you suck / Scott Blagden.

"The shrinkadinks think I have a screw loose. Ain't playing with a full deck. Whacked-out wiring. Missing marbles." Irreverent, foulmouthed seventeen-year-old Cricket is the oldest ward in a Catholic boys' home in Maine-and his life sucks. With prospects for the future that range from professional fighter to professional drug dealer, he seems doomed to a life of "criminal rapscallinity." In fact, things look so bleak that Cricket can't help but wonder if his best option is one final cliff dive into the great unknown. But then Wynona Bidaban steps into his world, and Cricket slowly realizes that maybe, just maybe, life doesn't totally suck.

There's a mystery there : the primal vision of Maurice Sendak / Jonathan Cott.

"An extraordinary, path-breaking, and penetrating book on the life and work and creative inspirations of the great children's book genius Maurice Sendak, who since his death in 2012 has only grown in his stature and recognition as a major American artist, period. Polymath and master interviewer Jonathan Cott first interviewed Maurice Sendak in 1976 for Rolling Stone, just at the time when Outside Over There, the concluding and by far the strangest volume of a trilogy that began with Where The Wild Things Areand In the Night Kitchen, was gestating. Over the course of their wide-ranging and revelatory conversation about his life, work, and the fantasies and obsessions that drove his creative process, they focused on many of the themes and images that would appear in the new book five years later. Drawing on that interview, There's a Mystery There is a profound examination of the inner workings of a complicated genius's torments and inspirations that ranges over the entirety of his work and his formative life experiences, and uses Outside Over There, brilliantly and originally, as the key to understanding just what made this extravagantly talented man tick. To gain multiple perspectives on that intricate and multifaceted book, Cott also turns to four "companion guides": a Freudian analyst, a Jungian analyst, an art historian, and Sendak's great friend and admirer, the playwright Tony Kushner. The book is richly illustrated with examples from Sendak's work and other related images." -- Provided by publisher.

Engendering Respectful Communities - AY24 - 25 Workshops (November 13, 2024 6:00pm)

Event Begins: Wednesday, November 13, 2024 6:00pm
Location: 2001 Literature Science and the Arts Building; 500 S State St, Ann Arbor, MI 48109
Organized By: Sessions @ Michigan


Engendering Respectful Communities (ERC) is a one session workshop that engages graduate students in meaningful dialogue about various forms of sexual misconduct they may encounter in both professional and social spaces, and provides resources for intervention or support in such circumstances.

The primary goal of the workshop is to address complexities experienced by graduate students as they engage in bystander intervention, so that participants gain an increase in awareness of barriers to action and familiarity with strategic planning to overcome them. The workshop also introduces participants to on-campus resources and provides knowledge on how sexual misconduct can unfold in graduate-specific settings.
The ERC workshop uses small-group circles intended to promote active reflection and space to build community. The procedure of circles is introduced at the beginning of the workshop in order to help participants get used to the process, which they do through a circle for introductions and value-sharing for the workshop space. These circles depict various, realistic scenarios related to sexual misconduct within the graduate community. The circle process allows circle members to process the monologues, reflect on complexities with identity and power dynamics within them, name potential barriers to intervention, and think of various ways in which they might respond if faced with similar situations. The circles provide a way to foster collective building of ideas, where participants learn from one another and all input is equally valued. Participants are encouraged to share but can always pass if desired, creating an environment where participation is open but not forced. Due to the participatory nature of the workshop, if you are to arrive more than 20 minutes late, we will ask you to re-register for another workshop session.If you have any questions about or concerns with taking this workshop, or are in need of an exemption, please contact jhippe@umich.edu or fill out this form. We know some students come to campus having already experienced harm. If you have circumstances that make completing this course challenging, please reach out to the GROPWE team. SAPAC GROWE provides exemptions to the ERC workshop (where requirements are set in place) on a case by case basis. The Program Manager will communicate with students requesting exemptions via email and/or meet with students via zoom meetings to discuss their need for exemptions and provide any relevant and necessary resources.

Foundations of Community Engagement is an interactive workshop that introduces principles and practices of equitable, ethical community engagement. Participants will develop a deeper understanding of what the term “community engagement” means, as well as the many forms it might take - from research and course-based projects to philanthropy, activism, policy, and direct service. Across all these forms of engagement, participants will learn concepts and actions that promote equitable partnerships, center community-defined priorities, and disrupt entrenched power dynamics between universities and community members. Participants will also discuss real-world community engagement scenarios that ask them to apply what they’ve learned in the workshop to various situations.

Learning Seminar in Algebraic Combinatorics: Poincare duality algebras, the Kahler package, and volume polynomials (November 13, 2024 3:00pm)

Event Begins: Wednesday, November 13, 2024 3:00pm
Location: East Hall
Organized By: Learning Seminar in Algebraic Combinatorics - Department of Mathematics


By what has been shown in previous talks, we have seen that we can show coefficients of the characteristic polynomial of a realizable matroid can be realized via specific computations in the Chow ring of its wonderful compactification. In this talk, we will introduce the notion of Poincare duality algebras, which are graded algebras with a degree function giving an isomorphism from the top degree to the base field that induces a non-degenerate pairing between complementary degrees of the algebra. Furthermore, we will introduce a notion of hard Lefschetz and Hodge-Riemann relations for such algebras. When a Poincare duality algebra satisfies a certain version of these properties, we can show that the log-concavity of its "volume polynomial" is equivalent to the eigenvalues of a symmetric form on the algebra arising from the Hodge-Riemann relations. Because the Hodge-Riemann relations in appropriate degree imply the log-concavity of the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial of the matroid, this framework gives us a program to establish the log-concavity result. Throughout this talk, I will attempt to provide intuition from the case of the Chow rings of smooth projective varieties.

Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism (November 13, 2024 11:00am)

Event Begins: Wednesday, November 13, 2024 11:00am
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)


Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison), this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art, 1650-1850.

In recent times, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.

Pieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  

In this online exhibition, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery, which will open in early 2021, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. 

By challenging our own practice, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles, and fails to settle for, simple narratives. 

“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed, so ornate, so planned, they call attention to themselves; arrest us with intentionality and purpose, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” 

— Toni Morrison
