Schutzlösung für KRITIS vor Cyberangriffen

Die Lösung PREVENT/OT erkennt mögliche Angriffswege zur Beeinträchtigung des Betriebs kritischer Infrastrukturen - KRITIS. Ihr neuartiger Ansatz nutzt KI, um „wie Angreifer zu denken“ und Wege innerhalb der IT und OT zu visualisieren, die zu kritischen Infrastrukturen führen.  PREVENT/OT ist Teil der Darktrace/OT-Produktfamilie. Sie schützt komplexe Industrieumgebungen vor bekannten und unbekannten Angriffen. Dabei nutzt sie selbstlernende KI, um Anlagen zu identifizieren sowie subtile Abweichungen zu erkennen, die auf eine Cyber-Bedrohung hinweisen. Die Lösung setzen derzeit viele  KRITIS-Unternehmen in Bereichen wie Strom, Wasser, Öl und Gas, Schifffahrt und Transport ein. Intelligenz sucht nach Angriffspfaden „Bei einem unserer ersten Anwender fand Darktrace AI einen vollständigen, praktikablen Angriffspfad von einem öffentlichen E-Mail-Konto zu einer stark geschützten und aktiven programmierbaren Steuerung in der Produktion“, so Jeffrey Macre, Industrial Security Solutions Architect bei Darktrace. „Das Unternehmen wusste nicht, dass dieser Pfad existierte, der sowohl IT- als auch OT-Systeme umfasste. Einige Schritte waren nicht einfach durchzuführen, aber grundsätzlich hätte ein engagierter Angreifer diesem Weg folgen und die Steuerungslogik manipulieren, Alarme auslösen oder, noch schlimmer, Prozesse starten und stoppen können, um den Betrieb der gesamten Anlage zu beeinträchtigen. Wir sind stolz darauf, dass wir heute so viele KRITIS-Betreiber unterstützen, und freuen uns, ihnen diese neue Lösung bereitzustellen. Sie können damit die schlimmsten Angriffe verhindern, bevor sie geschehen. Wir sehen ein großes Interesse der Kunden an ihren Funktionen.“ ITSiG 2.0 gilt ab Mai 2023 Darktrace schützt bereits Kunden in allen 8 KRITIS-Bereichen, die vom BSI in Deutschland benannt wurden. Die Abschlüsse unterstreichen den Paradigmenwechsel, der sich weltweit vollzieht. Denn Behörden führen immer neue Vorschriften ein, die einen robusteren Cyberschutz in kritischen Branchen wie dem Gesundheits- und Finanzwesen, der Energie- und Chemiebranche fordern. Dazu zählt in Deutschland das IT-Sicherheitsgesetz 2.0, das zum 1. Mai 2023 in Kraft tritt.     Passende Artikel zum Thema Lesen Sie den ganzen Artikel

2022 RIBA East Awards

Brentwood Preparatory School is one of 17 projects which received a 2022 RIBA East Award.

Jury Report

This project forms part of a 15-year relationship between Cottrell & Vermeulen Architecture and Brentwood School that has included the creation of a school reception, a sixth form centre (RIBA Award 2012) and a Learning Resource Centre. This latest project represents a shift in focus to the preparatory school, taking on a landscape of existing structures and spaces, (including the listed Middleton Hall) and adding two significant new buildings to the mix in support of the school’s expansion.

A new sheltering spine threads together and brings sense to the disparate collection of buildings, sometimes manifest as a canopy and – beneath the new teaching block – as an arcade. Adopting a classic 9-square villa plan, this new teaching building provides a reception to the preparatory school with 4 generous specialist teaching spaces for science, art and food technology on each of the upper two floors around a central hall – each with supporting ancillary, circulation and storage spaces cleverly tucked into the plan.

This arrangement results in teaching spaces having two aspects, with sophisticated planning providing very good light and an airy, calm character. The teaching block’s sister building provides a multi-purpose hall, with an independent sheltered entrance that allows for community use and for spill out space between the playground and hall.

The materials palette references other buildings on and around the site and each building is beautifully crafted with bold and playful colours and motifs.

The project has paid significant attention to delivering solar responsive design principles, with strategies implemented to minimise summertime thermal gains. There is also significant effort made to implement natural ventilation where possible, with only the teaching accommodation mechanically cooled to reconcile the excessive acoustic loads presented by the nearby road.

Das Magazin H.O.M.E. hat die Architekten DMAA Delugan Meissl Associated Architects beauftragt, ein Master-Haus zu planen und zu entwerfen. Thomas Auer von Transsolar hat zu den Themen Klima und Energie beraten. Ziel war ein „Master-Case“ für modernes Wohnen in nachhaltiger Architektur – ohne Restriktionen und frei von Sachzwängen zu schaffen. Zukunftsfragen zu den Themen Nachhaltigkeit, CO2- und Geoneutralität werden aber in dem futuristischen Bauwerk berücksichtigt.

Das Haus HOME 2021 lässt sich dank der innovativen Statik sowie des Einsatzes einer ETFE "Folien-Verglasung" nahezu vollständig öffnen. Die Grenzen zwischen draußen und drinnen lösen sich auf. Dies ermöglicht neuartige Wohnerlebnisse, zum Beispiel das Leben und Arbeiten umgeben von Natur, auch dank innerer Begrünung. Die Temperatur im Haus 2021 bleibt immer im Bereich zwischen von 21 und 26 Grad. Dank des ausgearbeiteten Klima- und Energiekonzepts ist der Betrieb des Gebäudes nahezu CO2-neutral. Benötigte Wärme fördert eine bedarfsgeregelte Sole-Wasser-Wärmepumpe aus ca. 20 Metern Tiefe. Da die Anlage reversibel ist, kann sie auch zur Kühlung verwendet werden. Zur Wärmeübertragung dient die Fußbodentemperierung. Die Antriebsenergie liefert eine Photovoltaik-Anlage. Gedacht wird hierfür an eine Neuentwicklung, organische Photovoltaik, die sich auf die ETFE Folie aufbringen lässt und bei ca. 140 m² Fläche mit etwa 10.000 kWh jährlich mehr Strom liefert, als das Gebäude und seine Nutzer benötigen. Die Low-e-Beschichtung der Folie beugt im Sommer einer Überhitzung vor und hält im Winter warm, lässt aber genügend Tageslicht eintreten.

Die Januar 2021 Ausgabe des Magazins (vom 18.12. 2020) zeigt das Projekt in seiner Planung, als auch visualisiert und mit unterschiedlichen Einrichtungen.

[unless-we-choose-to-reverse-it]

A Biden presidency would be worse for the long-term goals of progressives in the United States than a second term for Trump would be.

So now that I’ve gotten your attention with a title like that, I should explain what I mean.

There are some posts going around progressive Tumblr that I’ve seen that amount to “hey, Biden isn’t all that bad, you should vote for him,” and I want to offer a counterargument.

The short answer: conservative Democrats hate you, and if Biden wins, they will never listen to a single thing that progressives and socialists have to say ever again.

The long answer: did everyone just forget that politicians lie to score brownie points, and fail to live up to their promises? This is a thing that politicians are infamous for doing. But now that Joe Biden has very suddenly released a list of progressive platforms that he “”“intends”““ to realize while in office, everyone has forgotten that.

Let’s be frank about Joe Biden’s record. He supported segregation way past the point of it being a dominant position. He was good friends with arch-segregationist Strom Thurmond, to the point of delivering the eulogy at Strom’s funeral.

Joe Biden acted as the architect for the modern war on drugs in many ways, including the use of harsh prison sentences for tiny amounts of drugs, both of which are currently being used to terrorize black and brown communities and uphold what is essentially a system of legalized slavery.

Joe Biden acted as a bag man for the banking industry during his time as senator for Delaware, consistently killing any legislation that might prevent banks to avoid taxes by basing themselves in Delaware.

Joe Biden supported the war in Iraq. This alone should be disqualifying.

Given his record, his sudden adoption of progressive policies should be interpreted as being a little suspicious. He is representative of the conservative wing of the Democratic Party, which has done little to oppose the worst excesses of modern capitalism, and has, in fact, done a great deal to exacerbate those failures. But now, there’s a more progressive wing; a wing that the conservative wing has routinely expressed their opposition towards, from Nancy Pelosi dismissing the Squad to Hillary Clinton’s assertion that Bernie Sanders never got anything done.

Do you really think that these people are suddenly going to adopt all those progressive policies, just as it looks like their guy is winning the race?

If you answered “yes” to that previous question, I think I have a bridge to sell you.

The Democratic Party believes it does not need to go left, because in their minds, there is nowhere else for progressives to go. American politics are expressly designed to make third parties an impossibility, so if progressives have nowhere else to go, then they don’t actually need to cater to those progressives in any way other than lip service. That’s what these promises amount to: lip service. I promise you, the second a Biden presidency takes power, all of those promises will go out the window. What’s more, progressive political forces will be ignored. After all, there’s nowhere else for them to go, so in the minds of the conservative Democrats, they cannot represent a meaningful threat to the Democratic party.

Of course, they’ll posture towards progressivism. But they’ll do so without actually making it happen, which will poison the politics around it. I believe that Justin Trudeau has done more harm to left-wing politics in Canada than any conservative politician, because his posturing towards progressive positions angers and energizes the right, but his politics fail to achieve left-wing goals.

And that’s the other side of why a Biden presidency would do so much damage. The right is going to think you’re a communist no matter what you actually do; think of what they did to Barack Obama, another man who ran as a progressive but governed as a conservative. It would energize the American right, it would sap the power of the American left, all the while the centrists prevent any meaningful change and the situation in the US just gets worse and worse.

And that’s the brutal reality. Neither Trump nor Biden will make the situation better. Both will make the situation worse in their own special ways. There’s no chance in hell that the Democratic party would actually make an effort to prevent the caging of children at the border, or the Gestapo-like behaviour of ICE; they’ve had four years to do that, and they’ve done nothing aside from complain about it, even when they’ve held Congress.

The fact is, the current Democratic party knows that progressive ideas are popular. But they have no intention of actually realizing those ideas, or fighting for any position, really. They maintain power through fear, by telling voters again and again that to expect anything better is a sure road to defeat, that the only way to win is to pick the most milquetoast, conservative candidate possible. They hate us progressives far more than they hate the Republicans; they can take the moral high ground over the Republicans, but we can take the moral high ground over them. Therefore, they will never change, unless forced to.

So, what’s my conclusion?

Just don’t vote.

I can already hear people calling me a privileged brocialist for suggesting that anything is more important than beating Trump, probably some people who are going to say that I don’t actually care about people and just want my team to win. To those people I say: I do care about people. That’s why I’m making this argument. A Trump win and a Joe Biden win hurt the American people in their own ways, and while a Biden presidency might help a bit in the short term, the long-term consequences will be disastrous.

I don’t want to be right. It would be fantastic if Joe Biden starting putting out progressive policies all over the place, and started listening to the progressive wing of the party. But I don’t think that’s a realistic assessment of the situation. Everything I’ve seen leads me to a different conclusion: Joe Biden will not help us.

So that’s why I say to not vote.

Because there’s a possibility that if the Democratic party loses here, they might actually start to consider that they actually need to move left in order to remain relevant. They will curse and spit every second of doing so, but it might convince them that serving progressive interests is necessary, that they can’t just rely on progressives caving to pressure and voting no matter what. It might force them to come to the table.

For my evidence, I turn again to Canada, and to the province of Quebec. People often wonder why Quebec gets so much attention in Canadian politics. It’s a large province, sure, but the sway it has on federal politics vastly outweighs its size. Some have suggested political correctness overrepresenting French Canadians, others have suggested political tradition, given how long Quebec has been a part of Canada.

I suggest that it’s because Quebec turns on a dime, politically speaking.

Basically every federal election in Canada of the past few decades has seen Quebec switch almost entirely from one party to another, sometimes inexplicably. The fact is, no party can call Quebec safe territory, and if the Quebecois feel like their needs are not being met, they tend to go for an entirely different party. Party loyalty isn’t really a thing in Quebec. So when election season comes around, every party is clamouring for Quebec’s attention, and after the election, they put in a lot of effort to make sure that the Quebecois like them. This means actually following through with their election promises.

The same is true for swing states in America. If you want politicians to meet your needs, then you need to make it clear that you might vote for them, but only if they’re serving your needs.

It’s gonna hurt like a sonofabitch, it’s true. But if you want progressive policies to have any hope of reaching the halls of power, it is your obligation to not vote in the American election in November, to demonstrate to the conservative wing of the Democratic party that victory is only possible by giving progressives a seat at the table. That can only be done by showing them what happens when they don’t have it.

Also, don’t vote for Trump to spite the Dems. That’s actually moronic. Just don’t vote.

#never biden #politics #us politics #bernie sanders #socialism #yeah it's a long post #but goddamnit #i needed to get this off of my chest #the democratic party is not your friend #no political party is your friend #they are organizations which seek power #you should treat your relationship with them as transactional #you only support them #if they support you #otherwise they're just gonna take your vote and never actually help you #treat this as a boycott #like you'd boycott a business that you dislike #force them to do better

2022 RIBA South Award Winner News

Cohen Quadrangle, Exeter College, Oxford by Alison Brooks Architects has been announced as the 2022 Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) South Building of the Year.

This project is a 21st century reinvention of the ‘collegiate quadrangle’, the basis of Oxford’s academic and urban fabric. The Oxford quadrangle is an 800-year-old pedagogical model that combines student rooms with teaching spaces, and is organised around landscaped courtyards.

RIBA President, Simon Allford said:

“Winning a regional Building of the Year Award is a major achievement. Across the country projects have been selected for this accolade because they are exemplars of the very best of innovative, intelligent and delightful design.

“The results of positive collaboration between architect and client, and design team and contractor, they demonstrate that high quality, sustainable architecture can positively impact the lives of the people that engage with it. My warmest congratulations to all those involved.”

The RIBA Regional Building of the Year Awards were presented at a ceremony at the RIBA’s Headquarters in London on Tuesday evening (24 May0.

Cohen Quadrangle is one of 13 projects which received a 2022 RIBA South Award, announced earlier this month.

Jury Report

Cohen Quadrangle is an S-shaped building that succeeds in accommodating a very complex brief on a constrained site in a conservation context, and it does so with ambition and vigour.

photo © Alison Brooks Architects

The clear organisational diagram is designed around a rich spatial sequence at ground floor. This is apparent immediately upon arrival in the porter’s lodge, with a picture window to an outdoor courtyard and amphitheatre, and a view through a glazed CLT arcade that is hard to resist. This is the start of an east-to-west journey through the relatively linear site, and leads to the ‘Learning Commons’ at its heart, a multi-level multi-purpose ‘critical space’ that also connects both courtyards on either side of it. Another theatrical arcade – this time in concrete – leads to an event room, with its dramatic ‘scoopy’ roof that channels a band of south light onto what is the north wall of the site. The lower ground floor includes a triple-height café facing back onto the amphitheatre, and a high-specification archive and archive study room.

photo © Nick Hufton

Stacked above this dense architectural promenade are three to four storeys of accommodation for living and learning, incorporating views both into the two courtyards and over the slightly lower surrounding townscape.

Externally, the building volume is expressed predominantly as a series of extended mansard roofs (not unlike the Parisian model of steep multi-storey metal roofs). Materially these roofs and walls are defined by a two-tone chequerboard pattern of stainless steel rainscreen shingles. As a whole, the project is a bold and lively addition to the existing building typologies of Oxford colleges.
