Abstract: Security Ceremonies enrich the concept of computer security by involving humans, as well as those individuals involved in creating security threats, and thus consider humanistic behaviours. Most of the current studies covers technical factors with the absence of human behaviour factor. Therefore, there is a need to better understand security ceremonies from a human perspective. This paper analysed the sociocultural aspects of security ceremonies in order to understand the interactions between humans and technology in regard to security protocols. A qualitative case study with the support of semi-structured interviews with twenty security professionals operating in Saudi Arabia was conducted. The aim is to explore the phenomenon owing to their cultural differences, stances on censorship and lack of knowledge in many aspects of security using different aspects including Human computer interaction (HCI), Informational concerns (IC), Mutual considerations (MC), Operational concerns (OC), and Personal interaction (PI). The findings from this paper has highlighted the importance of additional aspects such as functionality, awareness, human error and the relationship between protocols, technology and human. These aspects of security ceremonies can contribute towards assist Saudi Arabia in understanding the interactions between humans and technology in terms of security protocols.

Abstract: Cloud computing is the recent fashionable approach used to provide computing services such as storage, database, network, software, analytics and more over the internet. As the communication has been performed through wireless link, therefore, the security of cloud data should becomes a major concern. To resolve this problem, IDS (Intrusion Detection System) is designed for cloud system using Artificial Neural Network (ANN) with Cuckoo Search (CS) approach. In the beginning, the CS algorithm is used to choose the cloud server's best features. The CS algorithm is used to refine the path between the source server node and the destination server node. Therefore, when intruder joins the network, its properties are correlated with the properties that are contained in the database. If the properties are not matched then, it is detected as intruder otherwise; normal server and starts communication. ANN is equipped based on structured properties such as site co-ordinates, distance between servers and energy consumed by the system. Furthermore, the built model's output is ultimately calculated and correlated with the existing work.

Abstract: Among worldwide, agriculture has the major responsibility for improving the economic contribution of the nation. However, still the most agricultural fields are under developed due to the lack of deployment of ecosystem control technologies. Due to these problems, the crop production is not improved which affects the agriculture economy. Hence a development of agricultural productivity is enhanced based on the plant yield prediction. To prevent this problem, Agricultural sectors have to predict the crop from given dataset using machine learning techniques. The analysis of dataset by supervised machine learning technique(SMLT) to capture several information’s like, variable identification, uni-variate analysis, bi-variate and multi-variate analysis, missing value treatments etc. A comparative study between machine learning algorithms had been carried out in order to determine which algorithm is the most accurate in predicting the best crop. The results show that the effectiveness of the proposed machine learning algorithm technique can be compared with best accuracy with entropy calculation, precision, Recall, F1 Score, Sensitivityand Specificity.

Keywords: dataset, Machine learning-Classification method.

Abstract: Identity and Access Management (IAM) plays an integral part in the overall cybersecurity posture of any enterprise. In this area, simply deploying an IAM solution will not ensure that your enterprise is following best practices in this cybersecurity pillar. Most products in the market provide many of the functionalities that businesses require. Employing these features and functions, and translating them into the right method to protect assets, is what matters the most.

This paper aims to identify the common cybersecurity practices in the area of IAM lifecycle to ensure that users and identities are managed with least privileged model in-place. The paper discusses IAM concepts that the enterprise should maintain, to secure their identity and access management, as any wrongdoing in this area can have severe impact.

Abstract: The increase of data for individuals and businesses leads to be protected due to avoiding any unacceptable loss. Cloud storage services providers guarantee to give a solution to this difficulty. In current times, cloud storage service demand has increased a significant way. They give user-friendly interface, free storage or pay-as-you-go to store, manage, synchronize, share, automatically back up data and download. In addition, businesses and a part of individuals hesitate to utilize cloud storage services due to losing control over it. Many obvious attacks on cloud storage providers have annoyed these concerns.  Cloud Storage aims to improve efficiency and productivity in terms of securing the data. The data stored on the cloud must be secure while transiting, sharing or resting at the data centers or servers. Securing includes that the cloud storage providers (insiders) cannot understand or read the stored data as plaintext. In this investigation, we have to examine the security mechanisms and key management of popular cloud storage services based on an online survey of how many users for each cloud storage provider: Google Drive, iCloud, Dropbox, OneDrive, Amazon Drive and Mega. The investigation will help the users to consider services.

Abstract: Authentication has always been a predominant and inherited distraction in the area of cybersecurity. Governments, organizations, and corporations have often relied on primitive authentication methods to reduce the cost of ownership, thus continuing the lack of secure authentication technology, with the absence of seamless authentication schemes.

Authentication has evolved, from password-based authentication in the 1980s, to the use of multifactor and transparent authentication based on biometrics and behavior-based access. This article looks at the different authentication options available, and the appropriate methods for each type of infrastructure and service. The article envisions the future of authentication given the increased technological complexity, and the demand for seamless authentication.

To overcome the shortcomings of legacy authentication methods, such as passwords, industry has established an alliance called Fast Identity Online (FIDO) that aims to establish a secure passwordless authentication. FIDO is meant to address the lack of interoperability of strong authentication. Major companies are part of this alliance to standardize authentication based on cryptography keys. FIDO provides multiple standards to support different levels of security requirements, which may require hardware-based tokens.

Authentication can furthermore be taken to a different level and include additional factors that play a critical role in verifying someone’s identity. The more authentication factors, the better assurance we have in knowing that someone is who they claim to be. In addition, if these factors are seamless, the authentication method will be more acceptable to Internet users.

Keywords: Authentication, Passwordless Authentication, Biometrics, FIDO.
