WASHINGTON D.C - 02/26/2024 Title: [ Software Is A Critical Element OF National Security : The Imperative OF National Software Strategy]. Thanks For Sharing Martin Ebers - Here Is My 2 Cents After Reviewing 19 pages Document from the White House Office Of The National Cyber Director. In an era dominated by the digital realm, the assertion that "software is the commodity of the future" resonates as a call to action, emphasizing its pivotal role in shaping national trajectories and safeguarding critical assets like national security. This transformative vision places software development at the forefront of strategic imperatives for both governments and industries. This proclamation is not just a statement but a commitment to fostering resilience and sovereignty in the digital landscape, recognizing the indispensable role of software in protecting national interests amid pervasive cyber threats. Embracing a nuanced approach, distinguishing between Government Software, Military Software, Industry Software, National Security Software, and Open Source Software, underscores an understanding of their distinct needs and exigencies. Within government corridors, tailored software solutions are deemed essential for efficient governance, serving as the backbone of administrative operations while upholding principles of transparency and accountability. They enable governments to navigate complex regulatory landscapes and deliver services aligned with citizens' digital expectations. At its core, this vision isn't solely about software development; it's about preserving sovereignty, protecting liberties, and empowering individuals and nations in the digital age. It recognizes that the battlefield of the future will be won not with swords and shields but with bytes and algorithms. However, a vision without action remains a mirage. Realizing this vision demands more than rhetoric; it requires decisive action, unwavering commitment, and substantial investment. As we stand on the cusp of an era characterized by uncertainty and immense potential, the imperative of a National Software Strategy resonates with unprecedented urgency, calling for visionary, inclusive leadership dedicated to leveraging technology for societal betterment. God Bless 🇺🇸.

Honeypots are designed to trap the attacker with the purpose of investigating its malicious behavior. Owing to the increasing variety and sophistication of cyber attacks, how to capture high-quality attack data has become a challenge in the context of honeypot area. All-round honeypots, which mean significant improvement in sensibility, countermeasure and stealth, are necessary to tackle the problem. In this paper, we propose a novel honeypot architecture termed HoneyDOC to support all-round honeypot design and implementation. Our HoneyDOC architecture clearly identifies three essential independent and collaborative modules, Decoy, Captor and Orchestrator. Based on the efficient architecture, a Software-Defined Networking (SDN) enabled honeypot system is designed, which supplies high programmability for technically sustaining the features for capturing high-quality data. A proof-of-concept system is implemented to validate its feasibility and effectiveness. The experimental results show the benefits by using the proposed architecture comparing to the previous honeypot solutions.

Dear Cybersecurity Officers and CEOs, Game-changing cybersecurity, ShapeShift® Ciphers, mathematically indistinguishable from a 100% non-hackable safe solution for 2024—bar none—dares a challenge that not one "ethical hacker" or "security officer" has yet to crack since posted in 2022! Not one! "Is there a fear," this analyst asks, "around the skepticism that the only Deterministic Chaos cybersecurity solution available on the market will upend struggling investments?" Fear not! The ShapeShift® Ciphers doubles as an add-on plug-in solution on top of any existing cryptography—encrypting the cryptography—therefore further enhancing security to a game-changing shielding protection indistinguishable from 100%. Guaranteed! For a demonstration, contact ShapeShiftCiphers.com. According to https://lnkd.in/eAngCrSW, 2023 ended with around 1,404 Cybersecurity Attack incidents, breaching over 5,951,612,884 (billion) records, with the most significant harm by DarkBeam, at 3.8 billion records stolen in the UK. https://Parachute.cloud reported that between March and May 2023, hackers launched an average of 11.5 attacks per minute, including 1.7 new malware instances per minute. In 2022, malware saw a rapid resurrection from a seven-year-low in 2021, now rising to a stunning 2.8 billion attacks. As Quantum Computing introduces a risk to current encryption technologies, encouraging post-quantum cryptography, ShapeShift® Ciphers ushers in Deterministic Chaos Cybersecurity. The rapid expansion of IoT (the Internet of Things) exponentially identifies cyber-attack pathways and security vulnerabilities. Organizations not adapting to the only new failsafe alternative, ShapeShift® Ciphers' Deterministic Chaos Cybersecurity Shield, face great danger from Quantum Computing, Cryptochain, and AI starting in 2024. Almost two years after the ShapeShift® Ciphers introduced the "easy hack challenge," not a single ethical hacker or cybersecurity officer has been able to crack the easy entry into our competition for the proper hack test. Not one! Please contact me to set up a "C-level" demonstration presentation directly with our CEO, or download the challenge yourself. Upon cracking the easy entry solution, your security team will receive the ultimate hack test. James T.

We're committed to radical change that improves the state of software. Here's our statement of support for Office of the National Cyber Director, The White House's latest report on memory safety, verification, and measurability, alongside other leaders of industry, academia, and civil society. Dan Guido, Chief Executive Officer, Trail of Bits: “The ONCD Report’s focus on memory-safe programming is a game-changer for cybersecurity, underscoring the urgent need to prioritize safety in our coding practices and drastically reduce vulnerabilities. At Trail of Bits, we stand firmly behind this crucial shift towards a safer digital future, leveraging formal methods to prove that these techniques are not merely theoretical ideals but practical necessities. Our experience has demonstrated that formal methods combined with memory-safe programming languages provide a robust framework for eliminating vulnerabilities with unparalleled precision. Trail of Bits is committed to supporting and advancing these practices, aligning our efforts with the report’s recommendations to foster a more secure digital ecosystem.”

The first technical guidance piece is out, drawing attention to memory safe languages, metrics, and how risk acceptance starts at the CEO and flows down.
