Housing was once the most common way most families built wealth in America, but today, it is a primary driver of financial insecurity for millions of people. Before COVID-19, over 100 million people across the United States were struggling to afford housing. The pandemic exacerbated people’s housing short-term housing challenges – putting almost 40 million people at risk of eviction by the end of 2020 and even more on a trajectory toward long-term financial insecurity. It doesn’t have to be this way. Housing leaders across the country have the tools and knowledge necessary to expand access to stable, safe, affordable housing in their communities. Everyone has a role to play, and the Aspen Institute Financial Security Program has compiled, for the first time, a guidebook of solutions for all housing stakeholders, from policymakers and community residents to business leaders, financial institutions, and philanthropy – prioritizing examples that have worked from communities around the country. Download “Strong Foundations: Housing Security Solutions Framework” today. Webinar hosted on January 12th, 2021 by the Aspen Institute Financial Security Program.

Viewers will benefit from the discussion which features: -The macro-economic trends and policy environment which have resulted in widespread housing unaffordability in communities across America -The role that investing in housing and equitable housing policies can play in economic recovery – locally and nationally -The elements of successful multi-sector housing reform initiatives, as evidenced by models around the country

In this week's episode, we have Dominic Vogel, the Founder & Chief Strategist at CyberSC, walking through the mistakes and cybersecurity misconceptions of small to mid-size businesses. The prevalence of attacks today means SMBs are more vulnerable to become targets or caught in the crossfire. One thing remains certain: hope is not a strategy.

The burning of fossil fuels causes the past, present and future to collide in destructive ways. In the fourth 2023 CBC Massey Lecture, Astra Taylor tells us that as the climate alters, evolved biological clocks erratically speed up or slow down, causing plants and animals to fall out of sync. In a world this out of joint, how could we possibly feel secure? But there is a path forward.

GothamGo 2015: Fuzzing Beyond Security: Automated Testing with go-fuzz by Filippo Valsorda To fuzz a program means to feed it with randomly mutated inputs, in order to trigger unexpected behavior. Recent successful tools like afl-fuzz and go-fuzz use code instrumentation to detect interesting mutations that extend the code coverage. For a long time fuzzing has been mostly used by security researchers hunting for exploitable memory bugs in unsafe languages, and that's a shame! Fuzz tests are as effective at triggering unexpected behavior and panics in Go programs as they are at finding security flaws in C. They not only find crashes, but can also be easily taught to detect states and results which should be impossible. go-fuzz helped find more than 100 bugs in the Go stdlib alone. Fuzzing shouldn't be a one-off just like normal tests aren't. Fuzz tests should be first-class citizens of your test suite. They should be written by the developers, who know best what to test and where to hook. They should be committed to the tree for everyone to expand. They should be run regularly to detect regressions. Finally, the corpus of fuzzed inputs they generate can be tremendously effective as a development tool. For example, automatically discovered corner cases can be used to compare two implementations or versions of the same functionality. I'll explain what results to seek, how to write and maintain go-fuzz tests that go beyond crash detection, and show a few examples and results in widely used libraries. Filippo Valsorda is an Italian developer and cryptography engineer based in London. He is one of the main developers of CloudFlare's own pure-Go DNS server, for which he built the entire DNSSEC implementation. He presented about Bitcoin cryptography failures found scanning the blockchain with Go. He’s the author of the then-popular Go-backed filippo.io/Heartbleed test. He often speaks about cryptography or security protocols defects.

In 2007, a team of international security experts and researchers at the Henry L. Stimson Center launched an initiative to build an effective model for sustainable nonproliferation of biological, chemical, and nuclear weapons. The project represented an exciting and innovative way of thinking about security: a dual-use approach that operated at the nexus of the security and development communities. The team's ingenuity paid off. After less than six years, the Stimson Center is phasing out its involvement in the successful program, which will now be government funded. This "Results" shows how a novel idea, supported with modest grants from Carnegie Corporation, went on to secure millions in support from international sources, achieving real-world policy wins.

Northeast Asia is the most dynamic sector of the global economy, and the most dynamic element is undoubtedly the rise of China. However, in this region conflicts dating back to the Cold War have not yet found resolution. The imbalance between economic progress and political stagnation ensures that international affairs pose many challenges to governments and to students alike. The two papers herein, originally presented at the Strategic Studies Institute's 2007 annual Strategy Conference, highlight the challenges posed by the rise of China and by the new possibility for making progress on Korean issues due to the Six-Party Agreements on North Korean proliferation of Feb 13, 2007. Dr. Chu Shulong, the first paper's author, presents a view of China's interests, goals, and perspectives on Northeast Asian issues. In the second paper, Dr. Gilbert Rozman presents an American view of the possibilities for forging a new political order around Korea. Combined, the two papers underscore the complexities and risks as well as the opportunities for political leaders in Northeast Asia in contemplating new policies and actions to readjust the region's political dynamics with its economic dynamism. To realize the goals of the Joint Agreement in the Six-Party Talks, multilateralism is becoming more important. U.S. leadership faces challenges from Sino-U.S. rivalry that is now being better managed because of cooperation over North Korea; the Russo-U.S. rivalry that has intensified; the Sino-Russian partnership; North Korean belligerence, which is unlikely to end even if the nuclear crisis is brought under control; South Korean balancing, which would remain even under a conservative president; and Sino-Japanese rivalry, which is somewhat under control in 2007 but remains the main barrier to regionalism. A U.S. regional strategy is needed that addresses all of these challenges in the context of the Six-Party Talks.

The U.S. elevation of security assistance to a core military capability has divided the waters between those who believe the military should stick to preparing strike capability and fighting wars and those who believe the world needs much broader forms of military engagement. Recent developments in strategy indicate that the latter opinion will prevail. The commencement of U.S. Africa Command (USAFRICOM) in 2007 with its civilian command, interagency modalities, and soft power mandate reflects that an amalgamation of military and civilian capabilities is viewed at the highest levels as the way forward for realizing U.S. foreign policy and national security objectives.

Researchers from Defence Research and Development Canadas Centre for Security Science (CSS) provide analytical support to the Public Safety (PS) Canada-led All Hazards Risk Assessment (AHRA) initiative, and conduct periodic reviews of the methodology and tools in order to ensure the development of a robust and defensible product. The AHRA team at PS Canada receives comments on the federal AHRA methodology and process from key stakeholders during the implementation of the annual business cycle. This scientific letter (SL), which addresses feedback received from federal institutions, offers a critical reading of territorial security by assessing the extent to which it incorporates elements of sovereignty and security. According to the AHRA Methodology Guidelines: 2012-13, Territorial security is a core responsibility of the GC (Government of Canada) and provides the conditions permitting the free movement of Canadians, people, and legitimate goods within the country and across borders. It represents the effective functioning and control of international borders, and provides for the safety and security of Canadians to go about their lives in an ordinary fashion. Although the territorial security impact category is theoretically inclusive of a broad range of threats and hazards to Canadian sovereignty, an increasing number of current and emerging threats and challenges cannot be properly understood or assessed through the narrow, largely geographic prism of territorial security as it is currently expressed in the AHRA methodology. In fact, some of these threats and challenges may have little, if any, impact on the countrys territorial integrity at all. This paper highlights several emerging trends in the strategic environment that present both a conceptual and, by extension, a methodological challenge to the existing AHRA framework in this regard.

NATO enlargement will most likely occur following the general outline established by the NATO ministers in 1994. Likewise, NATO will initiate and successfully conclude a security arrangement with Russia. Enlargement without strong complementary programs inadequately addresses the stability and security needs of Central and Eastern Europe. Since our stated vital interests are to maintain a stable Europe and to stabilize and democratize Russia it is imperative that we conceptualize and execute the complementing policies and programs necessary to achieve our stated interests. This study analyzes these complementing programs to determine what the framework for security and stability in Central and Eastern Europe should be. It assesses the current state of the elements of that framework. United States interests are compared to that framework. The expected outcomes of the initial phases of NATO enlargement are compared to our interests and desired outcomes of the strategy to determine potential shortfalls. Policy recommendations and adjustments complete the review.

by Sean Metcalf Active Directory (AD) is leveraged by 95% of the Fortune 1000 companies for its directory, authentication, and management capabilities. This means that both Red and Blue teams need to have a better understanding of Active Directory, it's security, how it's attacked, and how best to align defenses. This presentation covers key Active Directory components which are critical for security professionals to know in order to defend AD. Properly securing the enterprise means identifying and leveraging appropriate defensive technologies. The provided information is immediately useful and actionable in order to help organizations better secure their enterprise resources against attackers. Highlighted are areas attackers go after including some recently patched vulnerabilities and the exploited weaknesses. This includes the critical Kerberos vulnerability (MS14-068), Group Policy Man-in-the-Middle (MS15-011 & MS15-014) and how they take advantages of AD communication. Some of the content covered: Differing views of Active Directory: admin, attacker, and infosec. The differences between forests and domains, including how multi-domain AD forests affect the security of the forest. Dig into trust relationships and the available security features describing how attack techniques are impacted by implementing these trust security features. AD database format, files, and object storage (including password data). Read-Only Domain Controllers (RODCs), security impact, and potential issues with RODC implementation. Key Domain Controller information and how attackers take advantage. Windows authentication protocols over the years and their weaknesses, including Microsoft's next-generation credential system, Microsoft Passport, and what it means for credential protection. Security posture differences between AD on-premises and in the cloud (Microsoft Azure AD vs Office 365). Key Active Directory security features in the latest Windows OS versions - the benefits and implementation challenges. Let's go beyond the standard MCSE material and dive into how Active Directory works focusing on the key components and how they relate to enterprise security.

Since 1903, airpower has provided a virtually impenetrable three-dimensional wall on the battlefield. As a result of this longstanding success, a significant amount of research, analysis, and scholarly endeavor has been devoted to understanding the strategy and missions accomplished during major combat operations. However, the success of airpower is not as impressive when viewed across the spectrum of military operations. In action described variously as military operations other than war, irregular warfare, and small wars, airpowers record is at best mixed. The political objectives of many of these operations tend to focus less on conflict against another military and more on the protection of a referent population. These types of political objectives closely identify with the concept of human security espoused by the United Nations, European Union and several states. Airpowers mixed record in these operations raises several questions. First, why is airpower so effective in traditional warfare but much less successful in operations other than traditional war? Second, historical airpower theory is based largely on major combat operations, but what are the constituent elements of an airpower theory for human security operations? Third, due to the interconnected nature of national security and military operations, if policymakers commit military resources for a human security objective how is the airpower strategy developed and executed? To answer these questions, this study is guided by an overarching research question: How effective is airpower at achieving human security political objectives? This study will address the research question by defining human security in terms of the protected population and the type of security threat. The definition is used to analyze twenty-eight operations (three case studies and twenty-five plausibility probes)in which airpower supported a human security objective.

In recent years, U.S.-Mexican security cooperation has increased significantly, largely as a result of the development and implementation of the Merida Initiative, a counterdrug and anti-crime assistance package for Mexico and Central America that was first proposed in October 2007. With the recent enactment of the FY2010 Supplemental Appropriations Act (H.R. 4899/P.L. 111- 212), Congress has provided almost $1.8 billion for the Merida Initiative. Congress provided $248 million of that funding to Central America and included an additional $42 million for Caribbean countries. However, Congress has dedicated the vast majority of the funds--roughly $1.5 billion--to support programs in Mexico, with an emphasis on training and equipping Mexican military and police forces engaged in counterdrug efforts. Escalating drug traffickingrelated violence in Mexico and the increasing control that Mexican drug trafficking organizations (DTOs) have over the illicit drug market in the United States have focused congressional attention on the efficacy of U.S-Mexican efforts and related domestic initiatives in both countries.

The research critically examines the current security features of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) results in Nigeria, highlighting their vulnerabilities and proposing pragmatic solutions to enhance result authentication. The study emphasizes the importance of robust security measures in maintaining the integrity of the examination system, especially in the face of increasing attempts at result manipulation and forgery. While acknowledging the existing security features, including the candidate’s photo, watermark, and QR code, the research reveals significant weaknesses, such as the absence of advanced security elements and the limited functionality of the QR code verification system. To address these challenges, the study advocates for a comprehensive approach, recommending measures such as exclusive issuance of result slips by the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB), real-time third-party authentication systems, and accessible lists of top scorers. The proposed solutions aim to streamline the verification process, boost public trust in JAMB’s operations, and generate additional revenue for the examination board. The research underscores the necessity of continuous improvement and adaptation in security measures to ensure the credibility and reliability of UTME results.

Principles Of Computer Security Comp TIA Security+ And Beyond

The term 'security' has always been vague in terms of its definition. After the end of the Cold War however this vagueness increased as new paradigms emerged. Those studying security need a better understanding of the term 'security' to deal with complex issues within the broadly understood discipline of security studies. This thesis describes the uncertain nature of security by analyzing: (1) various definitions of security and some of the terms directly related to it in different contexts; and (2) the empirical meaning of security by examining threats as indicators of 'insecurity' based on the different characters of threats and levels of analysis from the field of international relations. The thesis argues that regardless of the vague meaning of the term 'security' empirically its parameters are quite certain and definable by the specification of threats as indicators of insecurity. This clarification of the meaning of security studies, in turn, makes it easier for scholars and policy-makers to deal with this increasingly important sphere of human life.

This paper will explore the implications of congressional oversight of homeland security, specifically the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Oversight of DHS has been extensively researched since the 9/11 Commission recommended that it be reformed. This thesis argues that much of the previous research into this topic relied on a limited view of oversight and used a limited set of tools to measure it. This thesis reviews the existing literature on homeland security oversight and offers alternative ways of measuring oversight. It conducts two case studies to establish a more complete view of homeland security oversight. Then, it quantitatively analyzes legislative data and offers a new approach to using agency interactions to provide a more meaningful picture of homeland security oversight. Finally, the thesis offers recommendations based on the conclusions of the research to achieve optimal congressional oversight of homeland security.

The authors outline transformations and changes in national security paradigms of the United States that began one-half century ago and continue today. They analyze such questions as "What constitutes national security for the United States as it approaches the 21st century?," "Are the current national security and national military strategies sufficient to provide for the future?," and "Are the institutions that resulted from the National Security Act of 1947 still sufficient for the post-Cold War era?" The authors review the development of national security as it is known today and also provide insights and perspectives into issues which will shape the nation's 21st century destiny.

The authors examine the African Crisis Response Initiative (ACRI). While traditionally, the U.S. military has not been heavily involved in Sub-Saharan Africa, this has begun to change since the end of the Cold War. U.S. forces have supported several humanitarian relief and evacuation operations associated with African conflicts, conducted numerous 'engagement' activities aimed at assisting African states and their militaries during the transition to democracy, and helped Africans develop a capability to avoid or solve their region's security problems. They conclude with recommendations where U.S. national security interests can be promoted with limited resources.

This research was conducted in coordination with Marine Corps Security Cooperation Group (MCSCG) and recommends promulgating the survey found in Appendix F to foreign security force advisor team members during post-deployment at MCSCG. The data from the survey will provide feedback to the Basic Advisory Course (BAC) to better support the continued improvement in training and certification of teams prior to deployment. Additionally, the research found that the total compensation for one training instructor group for one BAC was $118,000 or approximately $1,180,000 to support 10 BAC classes per year. The research examined national policy and related studies to develop a common thread of engagement through advising in support of building improved partner capacity. A national level directive review established a relationship to examine training, doctrine, and manning. Advising and preparing teams for security cooperation deployment is a complicated process that affects how today’s MCSCGs are assembled and prepared. The Marine Corps needs to continue incorporating the advising team’s lessons learned to improve future counterinsurgency operations.
