Transforming Food into a Political Device: A Biopolitical Reading of the <i>Olla Común</i> and the Fight against Hunger in Chile
Authors: Bronfman Dr. Paulina , Soto Pamela 
Published: June 2024

This paper explores the transformative role of the Chilean olla común (common pot) as a political device in the fight against hunger, framed within a biopolitical context. The olla común, a traditional form of community meal preparation by volunteers using donated or collected food, has historically emerged during crises such as earthquakes, political upheavals, and health emergencies. By providing nourishment and fostering social cohesion, the olla común transcends its immediate practical function to become a site of political and cultural significance. We analyze the olla común through the lens of biopolitics, considering how these communal meals operate as tools of resistance and empowerment in times of crisis. The concept of performativity is employed to understand the olla común both “in” performance—where it is represented in a theatrical or stylized manner—and “as” performance—highlighting the everyday theatricality and transformative actions inherent in these communal practices. Post-dictatorship Chilean theatre and art often depict the olla común, emphasizing its role in redefining social norms and identities within a liminal space that challenges conventional structures. The liminal dimension of the olla común allows it to transcend typical social boundaries, fostering solidarity and mutual support. This paper examines how these communal meals facilitate shifts in individual and collective identities, challenging established social hierarchies and promoting new forms of community connection. The ritualistic aspects of the olla común, with shared practices and symbols, further unite communities, serving as expressions of resistance and sources of healing. Ultimately, this study positions the olla común as a powerful biopolitical device, transforming food into a medium of social transformation and political action. By analyzing the olla común through the frameworks of biopolitics and gastropolitics proposed by Appadurai, Montecino and Foerster, and Escobar, we highlight its significance in addressing hunger and fostering resilience in Chilean communities.

Published: June 2024

Despite the rising number of cybersecurity professionals, the demand for more experts in this field is still substantial. Cybersecurity professionals must also possess up-to-date knowledge and skills to counter cybersecurity threats’ dynamicity and rapidly evolving nature. Hands-on cybersecurity training is mandatory to practice various tools and improve one’s technical cybersecurity skills. Generally, an interactive learning environment is set, where trainees perform sophisticated tasks by accessing complete operating systems, applications, and networks. One of the main challenges that cybersecurity organizations are facing today is the generation of massive data through practice exercises. So, it becomes a problem to convert this data into knowledge to improve the overall quality of the learning system. The large amount of interaction data and its complexity also limit us to do automated analysis. Thus, these challenges for cybersecurity learners can be addressed through appropriate educational data analysis by having insights or testing hypotheses or models on a proper dataset. Revealing the patterns, rules, item sets and time taken by trainees while using any command line tool could help the trainer to assess the trainees and to provide feedback. Therefore, in this paper we are analyzing the frequency patterns and timing information captured from the trainees’ command line log to reveal their solving techniques, easy and struggling stages, slipups, and individual performance. Through our study, we aim to show how education and training providers can foresee learners who are less likely to succeed in a task or exhibit low performance, which can impede learning proficiency. With this knowledge, organizations and trainers can identify trainees who require additional attention or support. It may also be able to identify elements related to an organization like training aids, training methodology, etc. that need improvement. This study demonstrates the utility of data-mining techniques, specifically rule mining and sequential mining, to empower training designers to delve into datasets derived from cyber security training exercises.

Authors: Von Solms Rossouw , Von Solms Suné 
Published: June 2024

The maritime industry is embracing cyber technology. The proliferation of digitalisation in the shipping industry is apparent, as any modern vessel today is a complex cyber-physical-mechanically engineered system. The digital incorporation of operational technology (OT) and information and communication technology (ICT) systems in network and control systems has resulted in complex integrated shipping vessels. As most modern vessels utilise the internet to communicate with those on shore, it is true to say that shipping today has adopted cyber technology to enhance the efficiency of its operations. It is also true that the modern shipping industry has become totally dependent on cyber technologies for its future existence. Along with the integration of ICT and cyber-related technologies came numerous cybersecurity threats. These risks need to be identified and mitigated. If not properly addressed, these underlying cybersecurity threats can lead onto disasters of all different kinds. This paper discusses the integration of (ICT) and cyber-related technologies in the maritime and shipping industry, the related cybersecurity threats encountered and why these should be mitigated. It also suggests how senior management and the crew members can contribute in assisting to safeguard shipping vessels from these ever-present cybersecurity threats.

Published: June 2024

The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) integrates smart connectivity with healthcare, improving services but imposing cybersecurity and privacy concerns. Frameworks (such as EMRI, SaYo-Pillow, HL7, FHIR, HIMSS) and regulations (such as EU MDR) are in existence but need regular reviewing for enhancement. A crucial requirement to ensure assuring the security and privacy of the IoMT ecosystem is acceptable, standardized frameworks with effective mechanisms, regulations, and policies. The paper reviews recent IoMT frameworks, architectures, standards, and regulations, analysing deployed and proposed systems with the aim of identifying research areas to improve the realm of IoMT security and privacy. The paper assesses security and data privacy in healthcare through case studies by comparing attributes and discussing benefits and limitations. The analysis extends to geographic scopes that adopt these frameworks. Furthermore, it explores emerging technologies (such as using blockchain) in securing IoMT within specific frameworks. IoMT ecosystems faces significant security and privacy challenges due to inherent complexities, leading to evolving cyber threats. The vulnerabilities expose medical devices and patient data, risking patient safety and scrutinizing reputations of healthcare institutions. Despite promising technologies, the lack of tailored security measures, guidelines, and policies, coupled with adoption barriers, contributes to these concerns. There is a crucial need to develop specific research, standards, and policies for ensuring cybersecurity and data privacy in the IoMT. Collaboration among healthcare, government, and technology stakeholders is essential to establish effective regulations and best practices. The vulnerability of the healthcare sector, attributed to legacy devices and disjointed data systems, emphasizes the necessity for robust security risk assessment models to address challenges imposed within the rapidly evolving IoMT.

Published: June 2024

There is a common will to unify regulation in the Western world regarding overall security, including cybersecurity. European cyber security regulations aim to create a foundation and guidelines for international standards in various industries and the operation of critical infrastructure. Protected critical infrastructure is a common goal for Western allies. Allies of NATO and EU member states mainly support the anti-aggression policy in Europe. The unstable situation in the world forces states to find solutions that represent the thoughts of the allies. Defending common values is crucial when the purpose is to protect critical infrastructure and vital functions in societies. The research will demonstrate the industrial needs of IT/OT-related cybersecurity governance. The study analyzes EU-level cybersecurity requirements and how those requirements affect standardization regarding cybersecurity governance in the operational technology environment. There will be four primary governance levels: Political, Strategical, Operational and Tactical. Many criminal state-linked operators do not care about international agreements or contracts. Some rogue states have even taken to inciting violations of international agreements. We cannot trust the loose contracts between states anymore. The research will find the main challenges concerning the cybersecurity governance of the industrial organizations that use operational technology-related technology in their daily businesses. We have seen that Information and Operational Technology are based on something other than similar threats and risk basements. Operational Technology-related threats threaten the cyber-physical ecosystem where anomalies affect the physical world, so operational functions of equipment, devices, sensors, components, and production lines are interrupted. As a result, continuity management and supply chain management are compromised. The study's primary purpose is to describe the cybersecurity governance elements of the OT environment for enhancing situational awareness. Standardizing the cybersecurity level among industrial stakeholders requires EU member states to have a national cybersecurity strategy that follows main EU-level guidelines. Despite the EU member states' implementation level of the regulation, the EU-level cybersecurity requirements obligate companies to take steps to solve future cybersecurity challenges.

Published: June 2024

The increasing digitization of healthcare systems has introduced new opportunities to improve efficiency and accessibility for medical professionals and patients. Examples include the simplified collection, storage, and organization of patient data using electronic health records (EHRs), the use of teleconferencing software like Zoom to allow patients to meet with their care providers remotely, and medical IoT devices like glucose monitors, pacemakers, and other remote patient monitoring devices that leverage software and the internet to provide patients and their healthcare providers with critical information. All of these use cases are examples of how technology can increase the quality of patient care. While the healthcare industry has realized many benefits from its increased investment in new technology, trends have shown that this increased utilization has also opened avenues for malicious cyber actors. One of these threats is botnets. These malicious networks of compromised computers, controlled by cybercriminals, can wreak havoc on all sectors of society, with the healthcare industry proving to be a desirable target. This research is a high-level analysis that investigates the threat botnets pose by employing an exploratory review. We identify the multifaceted nature of botnet threats in healthcare, analyzing their standard forms and the vulnerabilities inherent in healthcare infrastructures, ranging from outdated software to inadequate cybersecurity protocols to poor or total lack of security awareness training for staff.
Moreover, the various techniques botnets use to propagate are explored to elucidate the potential points of exploitation and the damage they can cause organizations when proper controls are not implemented. These negative consequences include data breaches, service disruptions, and compromised patient confidentiality, which can endanger medical staff and patients if not addressed. This paper then discusses proven mitigation strategies such as end-user awareness, traffic monitoring, and detection response tools that organizations can employ to reduce the potential and efficacy of such threats. The threat landscape will continue to evolve; however, by staying on top of the latest trends, we can ensure the security of such critical infrastructure and save lives.
Strategies for Combating Adversarial Information Operations: Theory and Practical Applications
Authors: Olivieri Alberto , Guadagno Rosanna 
Published: June 2024

In the contemporary information landscape, the proliferation of disinformation and propaganda poses a significant challenge to societal discourse and democratic processes. This paper proposes a multi-disciplinary approach to combatting adversarial information operations, drawing upon theoretical frameworks and practical applications. Theoretical foundations are established through an examination of the Persuasive System Design (PSD) model (Oinas-Kukkonen, 2013) and its parallels with propaganda tactics. By analyzing the shared flaws and vulnerabilities, insights emerge into the manipulation techniques employed by threat actors in online information spaces. Building upon this theoretical framework, the paper presents a proactive strategy for countering disinformation: the development of Early Warning and Control Systems (EWACS). These systems leverage AI-assisted narrative discovery to monitor the digital information landscape continuously. By identifying emerging threats and inauthentic activity, strategic communicators gain valuable insights for crafting counter-narratives and pre-emptive communication strategies. Key components of the proposed approach include deterrence by denial and resilience-building measures. By shifting the cost-gain calculation of adversaries and enhancing societal resilience, the aim is to create an environment where propagandists face increased challenges in achieving their objectives. This paper emphasizes the importance of collaboration between diverse stakeholders, including governmental organizations, academia, NGOs, and journalists. By harnessing the collective expertise from multiple fields, more effective strategies can be developed to safeguard information integrity and restore public trust. In conclusion, this paper advocates for a convergence of theory and practice in addressing the complex challenges posed by adversarial information operations. By integrating theoretical insights with practical applications, the proposed approach offers a holistic framework for countering disinformation and propaganda in contemporary information environments.
