Créée notamment pour promouvoir le commerce intra-régional de biens dans la région, la Communauté économique des États d'Afrique de l'Ouest devait aussi permettre d'y réduire l'insécurité alimentaire. Mais les « points de sécurité », dressés le long des corridors de commerce par les autorités administratives qui prélèvent des pots-de-vin, sont venus limiter cette ambition. S’élevant jusqu’à 576 dollars aux 100 kms au Togo en 2017, cette corruption se mesure aussi en temps perdu, avec plus de trois heures aux 100 kms.

Web application security is a key concern for any organization that develops or uses web applications. The software security community created the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP)  to help educate developers and security professionals on the latest web application security risks. This dashboard provides organizations the ability to monitor web applications by identifying the top 10 most critical web application security risks as described in OWASP's Top 10 Application Security Risks document for 2021.

The OWASP Application Security Risks document outlines several different categories of web-based security concerns, such as Cross-Site Scripting attacks (XSS), security misconfigurations, and sensitive data exposure. OWASP's focus is to reduce risk across the most vulnerable business assets across the internet. Following these guidelines empowers organizations to reduce risk of organizational and consumer data theft.

Administrators need to ensure that their organization is not vulnerable to any of the attacks identified by OWASP. Remediating compliance related issues, such as known vulnerable components and insufficient logging, is important to eliminate gaps in an organization's infrastructure that are not directly tied to exploitable attacks.

These dashboards are available in the Tenable.sc Feed, a comprehensive collection of dashboards, reports, Assurance Report Cards, and assets. The dashboards can be easily located in the Tenable.sc Feed under the category Compliance & Configuration Assessment. The dashboard requirements are:

• Tenable.sc 6.2.0
• Tenable Web Application Scanning

This dashboard covers all versions of the OWASP Top 10 from 2010 to 2021, and provides administrators the tools and information needed to aid their efforts. The dashboard provides comparative view between version, using the cross-reference field utilized by plugins. The information will guide organizations on the actions to mitigate business risk through strong security practices. 

Components

WAS Data Concerns: This bar chart displays current (2021) OWASP vulnerability counts, sorted by plugin family and severity. According to OWASP, "the Top 10 represents a broad consensus about the most critical security risks to web applications." Identifying and fixing these issues provides organizations with a solid foundation for secure web development.

OWASP Categories by URL: This component displays vulnerability status counts for each Uniform Resource Locator (URL) within the organization. The URLs are sorted from those with the highest, most severe vulnerabilities to the least severe. Each URL has a graph of severity results for each severity category. 

OWASP Versions by State: This matrix displays the current and all previous OWASP versions along with a column displaying each state (New, Current, Resurfaced, Fixed). This information assists organizations in identifying OWASP vulnerabilities that are new, currently active, have previously been mitigated and have resurfaced, or have been fixed, for each OWASP version. 

OWASP Versions by Severity: This matrix displays the current and all previous OWASP Top 10 from Critical to Low. Each cell displays data on the count of web application vulnerabilities associated with the OWASP Top 10 release, and severity level. This information assists organizations in identifying the most severe OWASP vulnerabilities for the OWASP version in use. 

Tenable Research delivers world class exposure intelligence, data science insights, zero day research and security advisories. Our Security Response Team (SRT) in Tenable Research tracks threat and vulnerability intelligence feeds to make sure our research teams can deliver sensor coverage to our products as quickly as possible. The SRT also works to dig into technical details and author white papers, blogs, and additional communications to ensure stakeholders are fully informed of the latest cyber risks and threats. The SRT provides breakdowns for the latest critical vulnerabilities on the Tenable blog.

When security events rise to the level of taking immediate action, Tenable - leveraging SRT intelligence -  notifies customers proactively to provide exposure information, current threat details and how to use Tenable products and capabilities to accelerate remediation.

This dashboard contains indicator style components to highlight any vulnerabilities related to the Tenable Research Advisories where Tenable issues customer guidance that immediate remediation was of paramount importance to all affected organizations. Tenable recommends addressing missing patches as identified in the dashboard components. 

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.sc Feed under the category Security Industry Trends.

The dashboard requirements are: 

• Tenable.sc 6.2.0
• Nessus 10.6.1

The following components are included in this dashboard are:

Research Advisories - Citrix NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway: In August 2023, Mandiant identified a zero-day exploitation impacting NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway appliances. When NetScaler ADC or NetScaler Gateway is configured as a gateway (VPN virtual server, ICA Proxy, CVPN, RDP Proxy) or as an AAA virtual server, an unauthenticated attacker could exploit the device in order to hijack an existing authenticated session. Depending on the permissions of the account they have hijacked, this could allow the attacker to gain additional access within a target environment and collect other account credentials. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to bypass multi factor authentication (MFA) requirements.

Research Advisories - curl Heap Overflow and Cookie Injection: On October 3, an open-source developer and maintainer of curl, took to X (formerly Twitter) to announce that a new high severity CVE would be fixed in curl 8.4.0. The developer noted that the release would be ahead of schedule and released on October 11, indicating in a reply to the twitter thread that this is 'the worst security problem found in curl in a long time.' 

Research Advisories - MOVEit: The CL0P Ransomware Group, also known as TA505, has exploited zero-day vulnerabilities across a series of file transfer solutions since December 2020. File transfer solutions often contain sensitive information from a variety of organizations. This stolen information is used to extort victims to pay ransom demands. In 2023, CL0P claimed credit for the exploitation of vulnerabilities in both Fortra’s GoAnywhere Managed File Transfer (MFT) and Progress Software’s MOVEit Transfer solutions. 

Research Advisories - log4shell: This matrix alerts organizations to potential concerns regarding the Log4j vulnerability. Displayed are the vulnerabilities that are directly associated with the log4shell CVEs (CVE-2021-44228, CVE-2021-44832, CVE-2021-45046, CVE-2021-4104, and CVE-2021-45105) and Log4j installations. 

Research Advisories - CISA Alerts AA22-011A and AA22-047A: On November 3rd, 2021, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) issued Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 22-01, and on Jan 11, 2022 CISA issued an alert (AA22-011A) warning of increased risk to U.S. critical infrastructure.  A total of 18 CVEs can be associated with this alert.  Hosts and Vulnerabilities identified and mitigated are displayed using the referenced CVE. 

Research Advisories - PrintNightmare: On July 1, Microsoft released an advisory for CVE-2021-34527. This advisory was released in response to public reports about a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for CVE-2021-1675, a similar vulnerability in the Windows Print Spooler. To help clear up confusion about the vulnerability, Microsoft updated its advisory for CVE-2021-1675 to clarify that it is similar but distinct from CVE-2021-34527. On July 6, Microsoft updated its advisory to announce the availability of out-of-band patches for CVE-2021-34527, a critical vulnerability in its Windows Print Spooler that researchers are calling PrintNightmare. This remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability affects all versions of Microsoft Windows. 

Research Advisories - MS Exchange ProxyLogon: On March 2, 2021 Microsoft released several critical security updates for zero-day Microsoft Exchange Server vulnerabilities, and reported that the exploits are actively being exploited by threat actors. Within a single week thousands of organizations world-wide have fallen victim. Tenable released several plugins for Exchange Server 2010, 2013, 2016 and 2019, which can be used to determine which Exchange Server systems are vulnerable in your environment.

The true story of three intrepid people who successfully eluded the Japanese in Manila for more than two years, sabotaging enemy efforts and preparing the way for MacArthur's return. One was a debonair polo-playing expatriate businessman who was also a U.S. Navy intelligence officer. Another was a defiant enlisted American soldier. And the third was a wily American woman, an intinerant torch singer with many names and almost as many husbands. With ample doses of intrigue, drama, skulduggery, sacrifice, and romance, this book has all the complicated heroism and villainy of the best war novels. But it is, in the end, a true tale of courage when it counted the most. -- adapted from book jacket.

Continuing our Spotlight On Women Directors series, Nocturnes is a 2024 documentary on how moths convey a mysterious message.

In the dense forests of the Eastern Himalayas, moths are whispering something to us. In the dark of night, two curious observers shine a light on this secret universe. Together, they are on an expedition to decode these nocturnal creatures in a remote ecological “hot spot” on the border of India and Bhutan. The result is a deeply immersive film that transports audiences to a rarely-seen place and urges us all to look more closely at the hidden interconnections of the natural world. From directors Anirban Dutta and Anupama Srinivasan.

This screening is FREE and open to the public (must reserve free tickets/RSVP in advance)

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.

Immigration has become a polarizing issue across democratic, authoritarian, and transitioning contexts. Anti-immigrant rhetoric has become part of the standard playbook for authoritarian populists. Immigration policies in ostensibly democratic countries are becoming more restrictive, all while political conflict, war, pandemics, and intensifying climate change are leading to greater numbers of people migrating in search of safety and a better life. With immigration discourse taking up much of the oxygen in politics across the world, understanding the interconnections among immigration, democracy, and authoritarianism has become more important than ever. This roundtable brings together distinguished scholars to discuss how controversies surrounding immigration and immigrants have become critical for sustaining or upending democracy.

Moderator: Nandini Dey, Research Fellow, Center for Emerging Democracies.

You Don't Belong Here: The Stories Our Systems Tell (and Why We Have to Disrupt Them)
There is a widespread story that institutions of higher education value diversity and will actively foster belonging for all in the community. In actuality, though, many members of the higher education community continue to face marginalization and othering within their professional and educational spaces. This session centers around an embodied case study depicting one woman’s reflections on her experiences of higher education that sent a persistent, systemic message that she didn’t belong. Through session activities, participants will consider how these messages manifest and why they continue to occur despite the extensive labor of individuals sincerely committed to advancing equity. Together, they brainstorm possibilities for changes that could increase equity at a systems level. This session is appropriate for faculty, graduate students, and academic leaders.
This session can be offered in a fully virtual, synchronous format (90 minutes) or a fully in-person synchronous format (120 minutes).
**The video performance portion of this session contains strong language. It includes explicit descriptions of racist and classist behaviors and the impact of systemic inequities on individuals and communities.

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

Lead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, the U-M Arts Initiative, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.

There's a behind the scenes industry that helps big brands decide questions like: How big should a bag of chips be? What's the right size for a bottle of shampoo? And yes, also: When should a company do a little shrinkflation?

From Cookie Monster to President Biden, everybody is complaining about shrinkflation these days. But when we asked the packaging and pricing experts, they told us that shrinkflation is just one move in a much larger, much weirder 4-D chess game.

The name of that game is "price pack architecture." This is the idea that you shouldn't just sell your product in one or two sizes. You should sell your product in a whole range of different sizes, at a whole range of different price points. Over the past 15 years, price pack architecture has completely changed how products are marketed and sold in the United States.

Today, we are going on a shopping cart ride-along with one of those price pack architects. She's going to pull back the curtain and show us why some products are getting larger while others are getting smaller, and tell us about the adorable little soda can that started it all.

By the end of the episode, you'll never look at a grocery store the same way again.

At the core of most of the electronics we use today are some very tiny, very powerful chips. Semiconductor chips. And they are mighty: they help power our phones, laptops, and cars. They enable advances in healthcare, military systems, transportation, and clean energy. And they're also critical for artificial intelligence, providing the hardware needed to train complex machine learning.

On today's episode, we're bringing you two stories from our daily show The Indicator, diving into the two most important semiconductor chip companies, which have transformed the industry over the past 40 years.

First, we trace NVIDIA's journey from making niche graphics cards for gaming to making the most advanced chips in the world — and briefly becoming the world's biggest company. Next, we see how the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company's decision to manufacture chips for its competition instead of itself flipped the entire industry on its head, and moved the vast majority of the world's advanced chip production to Taiwan.
