Hulse, RCLS Development Officer Rockland County native and Tomkins Cove resident since 2012, Ellie Kass- ner is the newest member to the RCLS Board of Trustees. She was appointed to the Board in February 2017 to fill a vacant Rockland County seat. Growing up as a neighbor of the Tomkins Cove Library created her interest in libraries and Ellie has valued the library since she was old enough to read. A member of the Tomkins Cove Library Board of Trustees since 2013, Ellie presently serves as Board presi- dent. In praising her home library, Ellie explains that she enjoys the role that the library plays in the community and loves the chil- dren’s programs that Tomkins Cove Library provides. An avid reader, Ellie shares that her favorite authors include Roald Dahl, Toni Morrison, Albert Camus and Zakes Mda. Ellie earned her undergraduate degree from Skidmore College, double majoring in English Literature and Feminist Theory, with a minor in Business Administration and her Master in Business Ad- ministration with a concentration in Ethical Leadership from Marist College through a partnership program with Ramapo Catskill Li- brary System. She wrote her undergraduate thesis on Feminist Lit- erature Under Apartheid while attending the University of Cape Town in South Africa for a semester. Ellie explains that “the inter- sectionality of voices” always interested her. During 2009 in Cape Town, while writing policy for a shelter for homeless girls, Ellie met her future husband, Charles James. They were married in 2013 at the Stony Point Battlefield. Then in 2015, the couple had a traditional Xhosa ceremony performed in South Africa. Ellie is the President of W.H. Kassner, Inc., a third-generation Ellie Kassner, RCLS Trustee custom architectural iron working company that specializes in the fabrication and installation of stairs, railings, platforms and cano- pies on commercial construction projects. The business, currently run by Ellie and her business partner and brother, Dirk Kassner is located in Tomkins Cove. Her two dogs can also be found on-site serving as office dogs: standard poodle puppy, Kafka is an intern and shepherd mutt, Orion, is sleepy and makes daily executive decisions about which commands to follow. Active in public and community endeavors, Ellie also serves on the Advisory Board for the Palisades Institute and as a mentor for New York City Small Busi- ness Services’ Women Entrepreneurs New York City (WENYC) initiative. In her time on the Tomkins Cove Library Board, the library has updated its policy manual, dramatically increased its adult and children's’ programming and moved forward with major construction. Ellie’s leisure passions include the restoration of an 18½’ sailboat, home brewing sparkling apple wine and restoring vintage British sports cars. She is currently working on a 1960 Austin-Healey 3000. Ellie Kassner’s joining the RCLS Board is a positive match as she enjoys working with the other members of the RCLS Board of Trustees, in her appoint- ed committee roles and with the Board as a whole. She looks forward to contrib- uting her experience and knowledge in all actions and matters reviewed by this governing body. 3 Trustee FYI SonicWall Protects RCLS’ Network from Ransomware John Schneider, RCLS ANSER Manager & Network Administrator Wannacry! Petya! These are names of malware and ransomware that have been in the news the last few months, and with good reason. Both of these types of malicious code are designed to encrypt victims’ files making them unusable, and demand payment to have the data “unlocked.” This type of malware is known as ransomware. The only way to recover from this type of attack is to ei- ther pay the demand or restore the files from a recent backup. In early January 2017, the St. Louis Public Library (SLPL) computer system suffered a ransomware attack that impacted access to machines and data at all of their 17 branches.

  • Combat Top Security Vulnerabilities: HPE Tippingpoint Intrusion
    Business white paper Combat top security vulnerabilities HPE TippingPoint intrusion prevention system Business white paper Page 2 The year 2014 marked a new pinnacle for hackers. Vulnerabilities were uncovered in some of the most widely deployed software in the world—some of it in systems actually intended to make you more secure. HPE TippingPoint next-generation intrusion prevention system (IPS) and next-generation firewall (NGFW) customers rely on us to keep their networks safe. And when it comes to cyber threats, every second matters. So how did HPE TippingPoint do? This brief highlights the top security vulnerabilities of 2014—the ones that sent corporate security executives scrambling to protect their businesses. And it describes how HPE TippingPoint responded to keep our customers safe. Heartbleed—HPE TippingPoint intrusion prevention system stops blood flow early Any vulnerability is concerning, but when a vulnerability is discovered in software designed to assure security, it leaves businesses exposed and vulnerable. That was the case with the Heartbleed vulnerability disclosed by the OpenSSL project on April 7, 2014. They found the vulnerability in versions of OpenSSL—the open-source cryptographic library widely used to encrypt Internet traffic. Heartbleed grew from a coding error that allowed remote attackers to read information from process memory by sending heartbeat packets that trigger a buffer over-read. As a demonstration of the vulnerability, the OpenSSL Project created a sample exploit that successfully stole private cryptography keys, user names and passwords, instant messages, emails, and business-critical documents and communications. We responded within hours to protect TippingPoint customers. On April 8, we released a custom filter package to defend against the vulnerability.

The Software Vulnerability Ecosystem: Software Development In The Context Of Adversarial Behavior Abstract Software vulnerabilities are the root cause of many computer system security fail- ures. This dissertation addresses software vulnerabilities in the context of a software lifecycle, with a particular focus on three stages: (1) improving software quality dur- ing development; (2) pre- release bug discovery and repair; and (3) revising software as vulnerabilities are found. The question I pose regarding software quality during development is whether long-standing software engineering principles and practices such as code reuse help or hurt with respect to vulnerabilities. Using a novel data-driven analysis of large databases of vulnerabilities, I show the surprising result that software quality and software security are distinct. Most notably, the analysis uncovered a counterintu- itive phenomenon, namely that newly introduced software enjoys a period with no vulnerability discoveries, and further that this “Honeymoon Effect” (a term I coined) is well-explained by the unfamiliarity of the code to malicious actors.

  • Threat Intelligence Report
    THREAT INTELLIGENCE REPORT 2019 REWTERZ – THREAT INTELLIGENCE REPORT 2019 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Rewterz Threat Intelligence Report 2019 includes findings of our Security Operations Centers (SOC) that monitored and identified cyberattacks and analyzed global cyber security threats through our threat intelligence-gathering platform. Our team brings forth this valuable real-time data to equip organizations against cyber-attacks beforehand. Rewterz Threat Intelligence Platform utilizes numerous attack sensors collecting data of malicious events from global threat feeds, making it the most comprehensive and advanced threat intelligence gathering network in the country. With evolution in cybercrimes, safeguarding your sensitive information needs to be prioritized to save the integrity, availability and confidentiality of your organization. To cope with growing techniques of cyber-crimes, our SOC team uses most advanced threat intelligence and manages the real-time data of threat landscape through our Security Orchestration Automation and Response (SOAR) platform, SIRP. Our orchestration and automation platform helps reduce the redundant processes of incident handling and lets analysts focus on more complex tasks. SIRP automates the usage of Threat Intelligence data for our SOC teams, equipping them for smooth incident handling, vulnerability management, access control regulation and risk management, meanwhile saving considerable amount of their time. Rewterz has now mastered the art of threat intelligence and is ready to help you proactively fortify your defenses and mitigate threats. Through this report, we aim to share and dissipate knowledge about sophisticated threats and advanced attacker practices in use on the Internet today. This report enables readers to gain clear insight on the nature of the threats currently faced by organizations operating in the cyber world.
