45 mins
James Cook, Sales Director, South Asia, Thales eSecurity
The latest India Data Threat Report from an independent survey conducted by 451 Research shows 52% of Indian respondents reported a breach last year. The report highlights escalating cyberattacks, traditional insider threats, privacy requirements, and data residency regulations are driving enterprises to review how they are securing their data in order to reduce the exposure of their organizations data.
The largest driver for our Indian customers right now is the protection of 12-digit Unique Identification numbers (UIDs), also called "Aadhaar" numbers, based on unique biometric and demographic data and designed to reduce fraud whilst awarding various benefits. The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has mandated that the private cryptographic keys used to digitally sign and authenticate the UIDs must be stored in a Hardware Security Module (HSM). In addition to HSMs, the UIDAI has also mandated the use of tokenization – replacing sensitive data with a token that can be stored, processed and transmitted securely.
Join this live webinar to:
• Discover the key findings from the India Data Threat report and see how they compare with the global landscape
• Examine the UIDAI mandate and the steps needed to be taken to ensure compliance
• Learn what makes Vormetric and nShield HSM the best solutions to keep your data secure

Tokenization: Ready for Prime Time
Aug 15 2018
61 mins
Mark Royle, Sr. Manager, Solutions Partner Marketing & Eric Wolff, Sr. Manager, Product Marketing, Thales eSecurity
The digital transformation has changed how the world does business, creating whole new enterprises and industries, but it has also left many organizations vulnerable to new and destructive threats. Individuals and businesses need to combat these threats to secure their own assets and reputations as well as to comply with increasingly numerous and rigorous regulations, such as GDPR. Among the tools that protect the data itself by making it unusable, should it be stolen, is tokenization. Tokenization protects sensitive data by substituting non-sensitive data.
In this webinar, we will examine the key elements of a tokenization solution as well as reviewing several example use cases.
• Understand the problems tokenization addresses
• Describe the architectures needed to support tokenization
• Review relevant tokenization use cases

Andy Kicklighter, Product Marketing, Thales eSecurity
When 451 Research surveyed 1200 IT security professionals, including 400 across Europe, for the 2018 Thales Data Threat Report, we found that today's threat environment, digital transformation initiatives and regulations are having a deep impact on enterprises. In 451 Research's Analyst Garrett Bekker's view – with a big disconnect around what is effective at preventing data breaches and where we're spending our IT security dollars today. In this session, we'll cover:
• The depth of the problem with data breaches – and the numbers around how deeply it has affected enterprises in Europe.
• How IT security spending is being prioritized today – and why that can be a problem.
• How adoption of cloud, containers, big data, IoT and other technologies add risk and complicate the data security picture – and what your peers would like to see to make this adoption safer
• Perceived barriers to use of data security tools, and whether these are still relevant – or relics of past experiences.
• Simple best practice recommendations that can enable you to evaluate your current stance, and improve it.

Privileged Account Security: Safeguarding User Credentials and its Data
Apr 12 2018
60 mins
Juan Asenjo, Sr. Solutions & Partner Marketing Manager, Thales eSecurity and Martin Cannard, Sr. Product Manager, BeyondTrust
A complex dynamic of attack vectors threaten today's IT environments like never before. Faced with this challenge, organizations need to protect their most sensitive applications and data without sacrificing business agility. Privileged Access Management (PAM) has emerged as an approach that can provide the best defense against potential attackers, by protecting all layers of the typical computing model. PAM solutions manage user access, safeguard file systems, ensure process segmentation, and provide encryption capabilities to protect users, assets, files, and applications. However, vulnerabilities can enable attackers to exploit privileged accounts, and abuse of these can open conduits for data breaches that threaten enterprise security.
As data breaches continue to make headlines, far-reaching security mandates such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) are becoming stricter, forcing organizations to rethink their cybersecurity strategy.
This webinar will examine how organizations can strategically block threats along traditional computing models to fortify security without re-engineering applications, databases or infrastructure. The presentation will focus on secure access control, auditing, alerting, and recording of privileged account activity. Management of cryptographic keys that protect access credentials, and the protection of sensitive data to ensure that only authorized users and applications can be allowed to access these files, will also be discussed.
Join the webinar and learn how to:
• Manage all privileged user access and control file systems
• Establish a robust root of trust for credential management
• Enhance security with key management and encryption
• Facilitate security auditing and regulatory compliance
• Meet FIPS 140-2 and Common Criteria standards

With services moving online and into the cloud, the result is a faster, more agile and open service for consumers and enterprises. However, this digital transformation is taking place in an increasingly precarious environment, more and more your corporate attack surface is being exposed.
With data breaches at an all-time high and incidents of identity theft risen by 57% in a year, consumers are questioning the security of their personal data held by organisations. The rise of cloud and the Internet of Things, has forced companies to take control of their data – regardless of where it resides and in addition, reputational damage caused by public breach is firmly on the agenda of the board.
This webinar will consider:
• Key security considerations for a digital transformation strategy
• Why a proactive data defence strategy is crucial
• The benefits of maximising the level of control over data irrespective of where it is created, store or shared.

Sweating is the body's way of lowering body temperature by causing heat loss through the skin. In patients with cancer, sweating may be caused by fever, a tumor, or cancer treatment.
Hot flashes can also cause too much sweating. They may occur in natural menopause or in patients who have been treated for breast cancer or prostate cancer.
Hot flashes combined with sweats that happen while sleeping are often called night sweats or hot flushes.Hot flashes and night sweats affect quality of life in many patients with cancer.
A treatment plan to help manage hot flashes and night sweats is based on the patient's condition and goals of care. For some patients, relieving symptoms and improving quality of life is the most important goal.
This summary describes the causes and treatment of hot flashes and night sweats in cancer patients.
Sweating happens with disease conditions such as fever and may occur without disease in warm climates, during exercise, and during hot flashes in menopause. Sweating helps balance body temperature by allowing heat to evaporate through the skin.
Hot flashes and night sweats are common in patients with cancer and in cancer survivors. They are more common in women but can also occur in men.Many patients treated for breast cancer and prostate cancer have hot flashes.
Menopause in women can have natural, surgical, or chemical causes. Chemical menopause in women with cancer is caused by certain types of chemotherapy, radiation, or hormone therapy with androgen (a male hormone).
"Male menopause" in men with cancer can be caused by orchiectomy (surgery to remove one or both testicles) or hormone therapy with gonadotropin-releasing hormone or estrogen.
Treatment for breast cancer and prostate cancer can cause menopause or menopause-like effects, including severe hot flashes.Certain types of drugs can cause night sweats.
Drugs that may cause night sweats include the following:
Sweats caused by fever are controlled by treating the cause of the fever. Sweats caused by a tumor are usually controlled by treatment of the tumor.Hot flashes may be controlled with estrogen replacement therapy.
Hot flashes during natural or treatment-related menopause can be controlled with estrogen replacement therapy. However, many women are not able to take estrogen replacement (for example, women who have or had breast cancer). Hormone replacement therapy that combines estrogen with progestin may increase the risk of breast cancer or breast cancer recurrence.
Treatment of hot flashes in men who have been treated for prostate cancer may include estrogens, progestin, antidepressants, and anticonvulsants. Certain hormones (such as estrogen) can make some cancers grow.Other drugs may be useful in some patients.
Studies of non-estrogen drugs to treat hot flashes in women with a history of breast cancer have reported that many of them do not work as well as estrogen replacement or have side effects. Megestrol (a drug like progesterone), certain antidepressants, anticonvulsants, and clonidine (a drug used to treat high blood pressure) are non-estrogen drugs used to control hot flashes. Some antidepressants may change how other drugs, such as tamoxifen, work in the body. Side effects of drug therapy may include the following:
Patients may respond in different ways to drug therapy. It is important that the patient's health care providers know about all medicines, dietary supplements, and herbs the patient is taking.
Drugs that may relieve nighttime hot flashes or night sweats and improve sleep at the same time are being studied in clinical trials.
If one medicine does not improve symptoms, switching to another medicine may help.
Treatments that change how patients deal with stress, anxiety, and negative emotions may help manage hot flashes. These are called psychological interventions. Psychological interventions help patients gain a sense of control and develop coping skills to manage symptoms. Staying calm and managing stress may lower levels of a hormone called serotonin that can trigger hot flashes.
Psychological interventions may help hot flashes and related problems when used together with drug treatment.Hypnosis may help relieve hot flashes.
Hypnosis is a trance-like state that allows a person to be more aware, focused, and open to suggestion. Under hypnosis, the person can concentrate more clearly on a specific thought, feeling, or sensation without becoming distracted.
Hypnosis is a newer treatment for hot flashes that has been shown to be helpful. In hypnosis, a therapist helps the patient to deeply relax and focus on cooling thoughts. This may lower stress levels, balance body temperature, and calm the heart rate and breathing rate.Comfort measures may help relieve night sweats related to cancer.
Comfort measures may be used to treat night sweats related to cancer. Since body temperature goes up before a hot flash, doing the following may control body temperature and help control symptoms:
Studies of vitamin E for the relief of hot flashes show that it is only slightly better than a placebo (pill that has no effect). Most studies of soy and black cohosh show they are no better than a placebo in reducing hot flashes. Soy contains estrogen-like substances; the effect of soy on the risk of breast cancer growth or recurrence is not clear. Studies of ground flaxseed to treat hot flashes have shown mixed results.
Claims are made about several other plant-based and natural products as remedies for hot flashes. These include dong quai, milk thistle, red clover, licorice root extract, and chaste tree berry. Since little is known about how these products work or whether they affect the risk of breast cancer, women should be cautious about using them.Acupuncture may be used to treat hot flashes.
Pilot studies of acupuncture and randomized clinical trials that compare true acupuncture and sham (inactive) treatment have been done in patients with hot flashes. Results are not clear and more studies are needed. (See the Vasomotor symptoms section in the PDQ health professional summary on Acupuncture for more information.)
Check NCI's list of cancer clinical trials for U.S. supportive and palliative care trials about fever, sweats, and hot flashes, neutropenia, hot flashes and hot flashes attenuation that are now accepting participants. The list of trials can be further narrowed by location, drug, intervention, and other criteria.
General information about clinical trials is also available from the NCI Web site.
Physician Data Query (PDQ) is the National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) comprehensive cancer information database. The PDQ database contains summaries of the latest published information on cancer prevention, detection, genetics, treatment, supportive care, and complementary and alternative medicine. Most summaries come in two versions. The health professional versions have detailed information written in technical language. The patient versions are written in easy-to-understand, nontechnical language. Both versions have cancer information that is accurate and up to date and most versions are also available in Spanish.
PDQ is a service of the NCI. The NCI is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). NIH is the federal government's center of biomedical research. The PDQ summaries are based on an independent review of the medical literature. They are not policy statements of the NCI or the NIH.
This PDQ cancer information summary has current information about the causes and treatment of hot flashes and night sweats. It is meant to inform and help patients, families, and caregivers. It does not give formal guidelines or recommendations for making decisions about health care.
Editorial Boards write the PDQ cancer information summaries and keep them up to date. These Boards are made up of experts in cancer treatment and other specialties related to cancer. The summaries are reviewed regularly and changes are made when there is new information. The date on each summary ("Date Last Modified") is the date of the most recent change.
The information in this patient summary was taken from the health professional version, which is reviewed regularly and updated as needed, by the PDQ Supportive and Palliative Care Editorial Board.
A clinical trial is a study to answer a scientific question, such as whether one treatment is better than another. Trials are based on past studies and what has been learned in the laboratory. Each trial answers certain scientific questions in order to find new and better ways to help cancer patients. During treatment clinical trials, information is collected about the effects of a new treatment and how well it works. If a clinical trial shows that a new treatment is better than one currently being used, the new treatment may become "standard." Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial. Some clinical trials are open only to patients who have not started treatment.
Clinical trials are listed in PDQ and can be found online at NCI's Web site. Many cancer doctors who take part in clinical trials are also listed in PDQ. For more information, call the Cancer Information Service 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237).

(Chew) Choon Keat
loves programming and has been doing that professionally for over 10 years - moving from C, Perl, Java to Ruby & Javascript. Choon Keat is curious about everything and is always thinking of ways to improve [his] life with better design, better software. Sometimes, he even blogs about these things.
Choon Keat is practical, delivers simple solution and executes iteratively. He has been practicing that on a startup he has founded, SharedCopy.
Professional summary
Choon Keat finds himself involved in startups most of the time. But he did once venture into a mid-size J2EE shop to find out what enterprise software was about.
His hands-on experience range from (server-side) administrating Linux boxes, writing web apps & integration with SMSC, MMSC & Jabber, to (client-side) writing Eclipse plugins, Javascript, Flash ActionScript, to programming on various other devices like phones and the TV.
His recent work revolves around email, Ruby, Rails and a lot of Javascript.
Software passion
Choon Keat loves open source. He gives back by submitting patches to the Rails project and releasing his own software as open source: hquery, oauth4r, poormans-trends, krjs, web_sg_form_builder, hpricot_forms, rssfwd.
Occasionally, the need to share overflows and he turns them into talks for geek audience: Sharing session for PHP User Group, OAuth for Singapore Ruby Brigade, and Rails boot camp 1 and Rails boot camp 2.
Choon Keat understands that experiments are a large part of learning. Hence he'll occasionally deploy experiments like Real [Twitter] Friends, Rss Paper for iPhone, Timezone UI & Translation UI just to see how well they work.
What he's working on now
Trying to convince others to employ a image server to handle file uploads, instead of simply reaching for the most fashionable gem.

Where'd You Go, Bernadette (Compact Disc)
*Soon to be a major motion picture starring Cate Blanchett*
A whip-smart, hysterical dramedy about a family in crisis after the disappearance of its brilliant, misanthropic matriarch.
Bernadette Fox is notorious. To her Microsoft-guru husband, she's a fearlessly opinionated partner; to fellow private-school mothers in Seattle, she's a disgrace; to design mavens, she's a revolutionary architect, and to 15-year-old Bee, she is a best friend and, simply, Mom. Then Bernadette disappears. It began when Bee aced her report card and claimed her promised reward: a family trip to Antarctica. But Bernadette's intensifying allergy to Seattle--and people in general--has made her so agoraphobic that a virtual assistant in India now runs her most basic errands. A trip to the end of the earth is problematic. To find her mother, Bee compiles email messages, official documents, secret correspondence--creating a compulsively readable and touching novel about misplaced genius and a mother and daughter's role in an absurd world.
About the Author
Maria Semple's first novel, This One is Mine, was set in Los Angeles, where she also wrote for television shows including Arrested Development, Mad About You, and Ellen. She escaped from Los Angeles and lives with her family in Seattle, where her second novel takes place.
Praise For…
"The characters in Where'd You Go, Bernadette may be in real emotional pain, but Semple has the wit and perspective and imagination to make their story hilarious. I tore through this book with heedless pleasure."
-- Jonathan Franzen, author of Freedom
"Brilliant, hilarious, endlessly inventive, and compulsively readable, Where'd You Go, Bernadette grabs you by the collar and never lets go. Semple is not only a masterful juggler, and an astute social critic, she is a magician!"
-Jonathan Evison, author of West of Here
"A delightfully funny book, that constantly catches one by surprise, Where'd You Go, Bernadette combines a shrewdly observed portrait of Seattle-life with, of all things, a mysterious disappearance in Antarctica. A pleasure."
-Matthew Kneale, author of When We Were Romans
"It was only a matter of time before Maria Semple turned her hilariously wicked, razor-sharp, acid-etched humor loose on Seattle, and set her impeccable laser sights on the heart of Microsoft. At times a tears-to-your-eyes laugher that skewers my own home town (and quite possibly my own mother), Where'd You Go, Bernadette is also a compassionate look at family dysfunction, the paralysis of genius, and good old-fashioned parental love. Cleverly constructed and brilliantly executed, Semple has driven this one home with great authority, and has proven, once again, that she ranks among contemporary literature's finest satirists."
-Garth Stein, author of The Art of Racing in the Rain
"With a sure feel for the screwball and the slapstick, Maria Semple deliciously sends up the privileged, overachieving, PC world of Emerald City. Where'd You Go, Bernadette is a crazy quilt of an epistolary novel, utterly contemporary yet pleasingly old-fashioned, and always light and witty."
-Stewart O'Nan, author of The Odds
"Where'd You Go, Bernadette is fresh and funny and accomplished, but the best thing about it was that I never had any idea what was going to happen next. It was a wild ride..."
-Kate Atkinson, author of Case Histories and Started Early, Took My Dog
"Maria Semple dissects the gory complexities of familial dysfunction with a deft and tender hand. Where'd You Go, Bernadette is a triumph of social observation and black comedy by a skillful chronicler of moneyed malaise."
-Patrick deWitt, author of The Sisters Brothers
"In her second novel...Semple pieces together a modern-day comic caper full of heart and ingenuity....a compelling composite of a woman's life-and the way she's viewed by the many people who share it. As expected from a writer who has written episodes of Arrested Development, the nuances of mundane interactions are brilliantly captured, and the overarching mystery deepens with each page, until the thoroughly satisfying dénouement."
-Publisher's Weekly Starred Review
"Semple's snappy writing and spot-on humor make this one of the funniest beach reads of the summer."
-Meganne Fabrega, Minneapolis Star Tribune
"[A] high-energy, often hilarious epistolary novel."
-- Brangien Davis, Seattle Magazine
"If you read only one book this summer about an agoraphobic mother and her broken promise to take her daughter Bee on a trip to Antarctica, make it this one....Semple writes like an oversized plume, finding all your tickle spots with ease."
-Holley Simmons, Washington Post Express
"An uproarious comedy of manners"
-People Magazine
