As the digital world we knew continues to endlessly evolve, we must continue to adapt how we conduct cyber investigations. Evidence sources continue to grow rapidly.  If we fail to keep up, the collection and validation of evidence during a cyber investigation will become a much more fraught task. For those investigators with a thorough understanding of how to leverage improvements in technology combined with the growing wealth of information available online,  the evidence extracted during a digital forensic investigation ultimately created a more solid case.
+
This evening is part of a series of 1 Day Workshops and evening events on raising awareness for local  businesses & organisations on the issues of cyber security and cybercrime, what regulations and legislation do organisations need to be aware to protect themselves and what is considered best practice in these challenging times.
  
−
Cyber investigations involving social media and social networks are becoming the norm. With new applications, links, techniques, and roadblocks discovered daily, social networks are rapidly progressing. Common platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn are becoming a smaller part of an ever growing and changing landscape. There are also many other evolving and changing social networks like Google Plus, Quora, Instagram, Groupon, Pinterest, and LoveIt and that’s not even counting the thousands of blogs and special interest forums that exist
+
In 6 months Europe's data protection rules will undergo their biggest changes in almost 2 decades. Since they were conceived in the 90s, the amount of digital information we create, capture, and store has exponentially increased.  In simple terms, the old regime was no longer fit for purpose.
  
−
With so much relevant evidence available on social media. there are also many new issues which are different from what investigators have traditionally dealt with in traditional digital forensics. In the past digital forensics investigators understood the terms and conditions for extracting digital evidence from a piece of hardware in the possession of the investigator, such as a computer hard drive or the flash memory on a smartphone.  The evidence obtained could easily be corroborated by a third party  if someone challenged how investigators had carried their work, a third party could easily corroborate the findings by reviewing the same hard drive which the investigator kept in an evidence store however this is certainly not the case with social media...
+
The solution is the mutually agreed European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which will come into force on May 25 2018. It will change how businesses and public sector organisations can handle the information of customers.
  
−
An alarming phenomenon of this rise in social media use is the growth of “faux or fake news” issue.  While this concept has many synonyms - disinformation campaigns, cyber propaganda,  cognitive  hacking, and  information  warfare - it’s  just one  facet  of  a much larger  problem:  the manipulation of public opinion to affect the real world.  Due to global digital connectivity and platforms making it possible to share and spread information, traditional challenges such as physical borders and time/distance constraints no longer exist.
+
The regulation has spawned a raft of “GDPR expertise” and scaremongers who predict the “end of the world as know it” .  In our evening, we have two expert opinions of what GDPR should mean to you and your business both from an IT Security and a Legal Point of View.

Fake news is the promotion and propagation of news  articles  via social  media. These articles  are promoted  in  such  a  way that  they  appear to  be  spread by other users, as opposed to being paid-for advertising. The news stories distributed are designed to influence or manipulate users’ opinions on a certain topic towards certain objectives.  For example, by manipulating the balance of how a particular topic is reported (whether that concerns politics, foreign affairs or something  more commercial),  the views  on  that  topic can  be  changed. This can be done either with inaccurate facts or with accurate ones twisted to favour a particular view or side.

'''Abstract: GDPR Security – “how to do it"'''
  
−
'''Abstract'''
+
The new EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the biggest shake-up in privacy legislation and data management approach for many years. It will impact any organisation throughout the world that processes personal data relating to EU citizens. Organisations which breach the regulation can be fined up to 4% of their annual global turnover or 20 million Euros, whichever is greater. Breaches will apply to firms which do not have adequate customer consent for processing their personal data or violate the principle of the privacy by design concepts and model. It is crucial to note that both data controllers and processors are subject to the rules, such as failing to carry out a privacy impact assessment or not notifying the authority (ICO, the Information Commissioner’s Office, in the UK) about a breach. This talk will look at GDPR from the IT security perspective."

'''Dai Davis, Technology Lawyer, Partner Percy Crow Davis & Co'''
  
−
One of the major security stories from the 2016 US Presidential election was not the breach of voter databases, the suspected hacking of the voting machines or even the vote counting. The biggest security story was the use of weaponized information in support of cognitive hacking, defined in a 2002 Dartmouth College research paper as a cyberattack designed to change human users' perceptions and corresponding behaviors.

'''Biography – Dennis Ivory'''  
+
'''Abstract: GDPR Data Protection – A Lawyers View'''
  
−
Dennis Ivory recently graduated with a first class degree in BSc Computer Security and Digital Forensics from the University of Greenwich. He is currently employed as a post-graduate researcher within the Department of Computing and Information Systems, where he is undertaking research with the Cyber-SAFE security research team into security issues in the Internet of Everything.
+
Data Protection has recently undergone a fundamental reappraisal with the enactment of the new European Union General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”). GDPR is not due to come fully into force until 25 May 2018; yet businesses which do not plan for it now will be severely disadvantaged. And whatever the final timetable for Brexit, or the nature of the agreement under which the United Kingdom leaves the European Union, businesses will need to comply with GDPR.  
  
−
'''Abstract'''
+
The new legislation is radically different from what is currently in place. Instead of a notional transparency through registration and consent under the existing legislation; real transparency under the GDPR is achieved through a series of rights given to individuals. Examples of such individual rights are: the right to object to data collection and the right to be forgotten. This is backed up by much more extensive obligations on data controllers to provide information on request and sometimes even before a request is made.
  
−
One of the single biggest threats to personal security is a targeted social engineering attack. Attackers are becoming more sophisticated at tricking people into giving away their personal details by using these types of attacks gained from information harvested from social media (Twitter, Facebook, etc.). More people than ever have an online presence, with 2.34bn people (37% of the world population) now using some form of social media [Statista. 2017]. Many of these users are either new to these platforms or are unaware of the seriousness of adding a lot of personal information about themselves on, for example, their Facebook page. This research set out to determine how people perceive their own online privacy and how this relates to what is actually available to anyone searching about them online who had no connection with them via their social media sites.  
+
Many lawyers focus on greater penalties under the GDPR: a maximum fine of €20,000,000 can be imposed for breaches (up from £500,000). In addition to clarifying such penalties Dai will spend as much time on the ''substantial commercial benefits'' that can be derived from the new legislation.  
  
−
A survey was conducted to identify how individuals perceived their own online security and to determine what they had knowingly published online. There were 252 volunteer responders. The vast majority of these volunteers were students at the University of Greenwich but only 43% were studying computing degrees. The split of female (58%) to male (42%) participants was reasonably balanced and the largest age range was 18 to 23, as expected in a university population. The second phase of this work was to investigate what information could actually be found online about each of these participants. Searches were conducted on each person using Facebook, Twitter and the Google search engine. The fastest search found the subject’s full name, picture and the places that they had visited in the last few days in 14 seconds. The vast majority of these investigations (166) took less than 2 minutes to gain access to a significant amount of the subject’s personal information, including details which they did not think could be found online. This presentation presents the results of this experiment.

·      The obligation to notify breaches to an individual affected
  
−
'''Abstract'''
+
·      Right to object to data collection
  
−
The traditional item centric and linear approach to digital evidence is effective, however is straining under the ever-increasing volume and variety of data that individuals generate. Social media and mobile data is now overtaking traditional computer based sources of evidence and it is becoming key for forensic investigators to correlate disparate pieces of information that reveal a bigger picture.
+
·      Right to object to data profiling
  
−
This session will explore how relationship centric analysis can accelerate investigations and provide a deeper level of visibility and understanding of various investigative scenarios. We will see how analysts can use advanced technologies to find hidden connections from something as simple as an account handle or alias and turn what’s outwardly disparate into a clear picture.

“An Evening with GDPR” Tuesday 7th November 2017

Tuesday 7th November 2017 18:15 – 20:45, Lord Ashcroft Building (LAB003/LAB006), Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge.

Hosted by the Cyber Security & Networking Research Group, Anglia Ruskin University, British Computer Society (BCS) East Anglia Region, UK Cyber Security Forum Cambridge Cluster and OWASP (Open Web Application Security Project) Cambridge Chapter

This evening is part of a series of 1 Day Workshops and evening events on raising awareness for local  businesses & organisations on the issues of cyber security and cybercrime, what regulations and legislation do organisations need to be aware to protect themselves and what is considered best practice in these challenging times.

In 6 months Europe's data protection rules will undergo their biggest changes in almost 2 decades. Since they were conceived in the 90s, the amount of digital information we create, capture, and store has exponentially increased.  In simple terms, the old regime was no longer fit for purpose.

The solution is the mutually agreed European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which will come into force on May 25 2018. It will change how businesses and public sector organisations can handle the information of customers.

The regulation has spawned a raft of “GDPR expertise” and scaremongers who predict the “end of the world as know it” .  In our evening, we have two expert opinions of what GDPR should mean to you and your business both from an IT Security and a Legal Point of View.

Background

The British Computer Society (BCS) East Anglia Region represents the computing profession in the Eastern region providing networking opportunities for professionals and companies, a forum for continuing professional development and encouraging young people to enter and stay in technology based business.

The Cambridge Cyber Security Cluster is an affiliate UK Cyber Security Forum, a government and industry led partnership which will look at how the region can develop the skills and infrastructure to combat cyber security threats.

OWASP (Open Web Application Security Project is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit worldwide charitable organization focused on improving the security of application software. Their mission is to make application security visible, so that people and organizations can make informed decisions about true application security risks.

The Cyber Security and Networking (CSN) Research Group at Anglia Ruskin University has close working strategic relationships with industry, professional bodies, law enforcement, government agencies and academia in the delivery of operationally focused applied information and application security research.  We have strong international links with professional organisations such as OWASP, BCS, ISC2, IISP & the UK Cyber Security Forum amongst others.  The primary aims of CSNRG are to help the UK and partner nations to tackle cybercrime, be more resilient to cyber attacks and educate its users for a more secure cyberspace and operational business environment. These will be achieved through the investigation of threats posed to information systems and understanding the impact of attacks and creation of cyber-based warning systems which gathering threat intelligence, automate threat detection, alert users and neutralising attacks.  For network security we are researching securing the next generation of software defined infrastructures from the application API and control/data plane attacks. Other key work includes Computer forensic analysis, digital evidence crime scenes and evidence visualisation as well as Cyber educational approaches such as developing Capture the Flag (CTF) resources and application security programs.

Abstract: GDPR Data Protection – A Lawyers View

Data Protection has recently undergone a fundamental reappraisal with the enactment of the new European Union General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”). GDPR is not due to come fully into force until 25 May 2018; yet businesses which do not plan for it now will be severely disadvantaged. And whatever the final timetable for Brexit, or the nature of the agreement under which the United Kingdom leaves the European Union, businesses will need to comply with GDPR.
