Islam, is the final and complete revelation of God’s message to humanity, provides a comprehensive framework for life that integrates spiritual, social, economic, and political aspects. Rooted in the concept of Tawheed (the Oneness of God) which was taught by every prophet to their people (we Muslims consider every prophet of God to be a Muslim as they submitted themselves to God, making Adam the first human and Muslim), Islam is distinct in its logical proofs, moral clarity, and ability to address every facet of human existence.

AI has the potential to be extremely important at every stage of a cyberattack lifecycle, from detection and prevention to recovery and response. AI can be used in each phase in the following ways: 1. Prognosis (before attack) Artificial intelligence (AI) can forecast possible cyber threats by examining trends and indicators of compromise (IoCs) in historical data. Important uses consist of: Threat intelligence: Artificial intelligence (AI)-powered threat intelligence systems are able to examine vast amounts of information from numerous sources in order to spot new threats and attack trends. Risk Assessment: Through the analysis of network configurations, attack histories, and vulnerabilities, AI models are able to determine the risk profile of an organization. 2. Defense (Ahead of Attack) AI aids in bolstering defenses to stop attacks from happening. Security policies that are automatically adjusted by AI: according to available threat intelligence, AI can dynamically modify firewalls, intrusion prevention systems (IPS), and access controls. Vulnerability Management: Artificial intelligence (AI) can automate the process of locating and ranking security flaws in a company's systems, making sure that urgent fixes are implemented on time. Endpoint Protection: Before malware or ransomware even has a chance to execute, it can be proactively detected and stopped by AI-driven endpoint security solutions. 3. Identification (During an Attack) Artificial intelligence (AI) improves real-time attack detection, shortening the amount of time that threats remain present in networks. Anomaly Detection: AI is able to keep an eye on user activity and network traffic in order to spot any unusual activity or lateral movement within the network that might point to an ongoing attack. Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS): Through the analysis of patterns and behaviors, AI-powered IDS are able to recognize and highlight malicious activities that conventional signature-based systems may overlook. 4. Reaction (both during and after the attack) Automated Incident Response: To lessen the effect of an attack, AI can initiate automated actions like isolating compromised systems, stopping malicious processes, and blocking malicious IP addresses. 5. Recuperation (After Attack) AI helps companies get back to business as usual and fortify their defenses, which aids in the recovery phase. AI can assist with forensic analysis to help find the attack's origin, attack vectors, and impacted systems. This can help with future prevention planning. By using AI at every stage of the cyberattack lifecycle, organizations can improve their security posture, detect and resolve incidents faster, and limit the potential harm that cyber threats may cause.

Council of Islamic Ideology (CII) Chairman Dr Raghib Naeemi has clarified that a "typographical error" in an official statement caused misunderstandings about the council’s stance on the use of Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). Speaking at a press conference alongside Maulana Tahir Ashrafi after a meeting on the ethical use of social media, Dr Naeemi stressed that social media should uphold Islamic values and contribute to national security. “It must not be used for blasphemy, sectarianism, or extremist activities,” he emphasized. Dr Naeemi explained that VPNs are not inherently un-Islamic but must be used ethically and within legal boundaries. “The use of registered VPNs is permissible under Shariah,” he clarified, adding that modern technologies should be utilized positively in line with Article 19 of the Constitution, which guarantees the right to information. He noted that the council would consult technical experts to develop detailed guidelines on the matter. Dr Naeemi attributed the confusion surrounding the council’s position to an earlier drafting error. #Chairman #CII #VPN #Pakistan

Turkey’s Erdogan offers to mediate between Sudan and the UAE December 13, 2024 ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan held a telephone call with Sudan’s military leader on Friday and offered to mediate to resolve tensions with the United Arab Emirates, according to the Turkish leader’s office. The offer to Sudan’s military leader, Gen. Abdel-Fattah Burhan, comes just days after Erdogan brokered a deal between Ethiopia and Somalia. The deal initiates technical talks aimed at resolving a dispute that arose after Ethiopia signed a deal with Somaliland, a breakaway region of Somalia. Erdogan told Burhan that Turkey was willing to mediate toward resolving disputes between Sudan and the UAE. He said Turkey’s “core principles include establishing peace and stability in Sudan, preserving its territorial integrity and sovereignty, and preventing the country from becoming a zone of external interventions,” according to a statement from the Turkish presidential communications office. The Sudanese government accuses the UAE of providing weapons to its rival paramilitary force and prolonging the conflict in Sudan. The UAE has rejected the allegations and accused the government of refusing to negotiate peace with its enemy. Sudan plunged into conflict in mid-April 2023, when long-simmering tensions between its military and paramilitary leaders broke out in the capital, Khartoum, and spread to Darfur and other regions. More than 13 million people have been forced to flee their homes, the country is engulfed in a humanitarian crisis. On Wednesday, President Erdogan met with Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud in the Turkish capital of Ankara. Following the meetings, the sides issued a joint declaration recognizing Somalia’s territorial integrity while acknowledging the “potential benefits” of Ethiopia’s access to the sea, and also agreed to start talks toward resolving the dispute. Tensions between Ethiopia and Somalia had been escalating since Ethiopia signed a memorandum of understanding with Somaliland in January. The agreement involved leasing land along Somaliland’s coastline to establish a marine force base, in exchange for Ethiopia recognizing Somaliland’s independence — a move Somalia insists infringes on its sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance (GRC) is a holistic and collaborative strategy that aims to create a proactive #risk_attitude and balance it with a #security_mindset. Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting information systems and data assets from cyber threats. Combining these two strategies can improve processes, foster awareness, and enhance organizational decision-making. However, many organizations need deep conversations about the importance of GRC and cybersecurity. Some may think that they have adequate measures in place when, in fact, they have minimal or none at all. Others may view GRC and cybersecurity as red-tape methods that hinder their operations rather than as best practices that can benefit them personally and professionally. In this rapidly evolving information technology landscape, this is a dangerous mindset but much more common than anyone cares to admit. The number and severity of cyber-attacks have increased in recent days and years, exposing the vulnerabilities of many organizations. One example to highlight is #insider_threats, which can be malicious, negligent, or accidental, are also on the rise. It is no longer a question of if but when a cyber incident will occur. Therefore, organizations must adopt a risk and security-aware culture where GRC and cybersecurity are integrated and aligned. This can provide a #holistic and strategic #approach to protecting #industry_specific_data_assets, ensuring confidentiality, integrity, availability, and non-repudiation. It can also help manage #information_risks in this ever-changing threat landscape by implementing appropriate configurations, measures, and controls or a #layered_security_approach. #GRC and #cybersecurity are not mutually exclusive but complementary. By having deep conversations about them, organizations can leverage their synergies and benefits and, ultimately, protect their reputation, assets, and stakeholders.

Cyber Risk Assessment for Cyber-physical Systems: A Review of Methodologies and Recommendations for Improved Assessment Effectiveness Asila AlHarmali, Saqib Ali, Waqas Aman (Sultan Qaboos University, Oman) and Omar Hussain (University of New South Wales, Australia) Abstract Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) integrate physical and embedded systems with information and communication technology systems, monitoring and controlling physical processes with minimal human intervention. The connection to information and communication technology exposes CPS to cyber risks. It is crucial to assess these risks to manage them effectively. This paper reviews scholarly contributions to cyber risk assessment for CPS, analyzing how the assessment approaches were evaluated and investigating to what extent they meet the requirements of effective risk assessment. We identify gaps limiting the effectiveness of the assessment and recommend real-time learning from cybersecurity incidents. Our review covers twenty-eight papers published between 2014 and 2023, selected based on a three-step search. Our findings show that the reviewed cyber risk assessment methodologies revealed limited effectiveness due to multiple factors. These findings provide a foundation for further research to explore and address other factors impacting the quality of cyber risk assessment in CPS.

Tawakkul: The Strength of Trust in Allah In life, we often face moments of uncertainty—whether it's in our careers, personal lives, or goals. It's easy to feel overwhelmed by the unpredictability of outcomes, but there’s a powerful concept in Islam that brings peace amidst the chaos: Tawakkul (Trust in Allah). Tawakkul teaches us that while we put in the effort and strive for the best, we also need to have complete faith in Allah's plan. It’s a reminder that our knowledge is limited, but His wisdom is infinite. In business and in life, success is not always immediate, and challenges are part of the journey. When we place our trust in Allah, we understand that what’s meant for us will never miss us, and what misses us was never meant for us. Work hard, stay patient, and trust the process. With Tawakkul, every challenge becomes a stepping stone, every delay a sign of better things to come. Let’s embrace the power of Tawakkul, not just in words but in action—knowing that we are in the best of hands. #Tawakkul #TrustInAllah #Faith #Mindset #Resilience #Islam #Growth
