Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) Fraud

The Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) is the financial support from the
Government of Canada for Canadians who are directly affected by COVID-19. The
Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is responsible for managing applications and
payments for the CERB to Canadians. As of August 30, 2020, the CRA received 24.

Common Controls Framework by Adobe

There are several compliance frameworks these days that organizations have to
implement for different reasons. I still see many organizations that struggle
with all these frameworks. Each framework usually has an impressive set of
objectives and controls. Does an organization have to process credit card
information?

Multi-factor authentication with YubiKey

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is generally available these days with popular
services e.g. Facebook, Google, Amazon, etc. Even more traditional industries,
such as banks, are also doing, slowly, the same. A good mention here for my
previous employer, a credit union, that has implemented multi-factor
authentication around 2019.

Master of Administration : Done!

As always, I was not really active around for the last few months or even the
last year. At least, I had a good reason this time. I was kind of busy writing
my essay for the master’s degree. I began a graduate degree in September 2013
with a specialization in IT governance, audit, and security at Université de
Sherbrooke.

Website Update & Hugo Framework

Well, I should definitely work on my master’s essay but I thought it could be a
good time to update my website. Again. Less than 2 months after the previous
version… WordPress to Hugo Framework WordPress is certainly the most popular
blog platform.

CISSP Certified and the Next Steps

I finally obtained the Certified Information Systems Security Professional
(CISSP) certification. It is definitely the most well-known certification in the
information security industry and the one recommended for any professionals in
this field. What is the CISSP? It is not necessarily the most technical or
specialized certification.

Are You Outsourcing Your Security With a Cloud Application?

You finally decided to use cloud services for your organization? Great! There
are definitely many advantages. Your objective was also to outsource the
security to the provider? Sorry, not quite. The security of your information
will always be your own responsibility.

Keeper Security and Random Deactivation

We trust cloud services to keep our data secure. But we don’t always think about
the impact in the event where the service would have some downtime. Even less in
a situation where the provider would decide to disable the service.

Your Hosting Provider is PCI DSS Compliant and You?

PCI DSS is probably one of the most misunderstood compliance obligations among
IT professionals. It is in fact the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard
(PCI DSS) governed by the PCI Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) founded in
2006 by American Express, Discover Financial Services, JCB International,
MasterCard and Visa.

Are You Really receiving a Penetration Test Report?

There are more and more organizations interested in a penetration test, or
simply a “pentest”, on their infrastructure. However, there is a requirement for
specific skills and this expertise is not often available within most
organizations. It is also a good idea to have an external opinion, someone who
will be impartial and doesn’t know too much about the current configuration.

Update: CISA Certification and Frequently Asked Questions

In August 2014, I published a post about my experience with the CISA exam and
the required experience. Even 3 years later, it is still the most popular post
here and not so long ago, I was always seeing more requests after the exam
dates.

Cloud Security with Object Storage

Many cloud providers are often criticized for the security provided with object
storage services. Even more after the disclosure of private information that
occurred in 2017 by using these services. These security breaches were also from
well-known organizations such as Verizon, Accenture, Booz Allen Hamilton,
Viacom, National Security Agency, National Credit Federation, Australian
Broadcasting Corporation, Department of Defense, Republican National Committee,
etc.
