Dr. Yogesh Malhotra:
Prognosticating Exponentially Increasing Cyber Risk for Global Finance...
Helping you 'define the risk' as well as 'measure progress to achieve defined ends'...

Dr. Malhotra underscores growing Cyber-Finance Risk for Global Banking, Finance & Insurance (BFSI):
Excerpt from his presentation 15 miles from Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL)


"
First, based on available evidence, it is not improbable that the current officially "recommended" most widely used global standard of encryption [1024-bit RSA] may have already been compromised. Second, it would not really be a 'surprise' given that the infamous '40 quadrillion years' challenge for an earlier version of the standard was unraveled in mere 17 years. Third, given recent multi-billion dollar global Finance deals blown by compromise of such technologies, it is increasingly critical to recognize the exponentially increasing cybersecurity risk among other Financial Risks." -- Dr. Yogesh Malhotra in Number Field Sieve Cryptanalysis Algorithms for Most Efficient Prime Factorization on Composites presentation, May 1, 2013.

CISOs must first define the risk, cybersecurity analyst tells Congress

"To combat continued and growing threats, cybersecurity officials should utilize a two-step process, said a network security firm executive speaking before Congress."

"Step one is to define the risk, and step two is to measure progress by combining ways and means to achieve defined ends," Richard Bejtlich, chief security strategist at FireEye, told the House Energy and Commerce subcommittee on oversight and investigations March 3. "This is exactly the role of strategic thinking, meaning the application of strategies, campaigns, tactics and tools to achieve organizational goals."

"[The] scale and breadth of the attacks — and the lack of clarity about the hackers’ identity or motive — show not only the vulnerability of the most heavily fortified American financial institutions but also the difficulty, despite billions of dollars spent in detection technology, in finding the sources of attack... The data breach at JPMorgan Chase was amongthe most troubling breaches ever,” [Illinois Attorney General] said, adding that it proved “there is probably no database that cybercriminals cannot compromise.”"

Benjamin Lawsky, superintendent of the New York Department of Financial Services, said that cyberterrorism is the most significant issue that DFS will work on in the next year, saying the possibility of an “armageddon-like” cyberattack is one of his primary concerns as a financial regulator. “I worry that we’re going to have some sort of major cyber-event in the financial system that’s going to cause us all to shudder,” Lawsky said... "We like to say that to some extent the failures to detect the 9/11 plot were a failure of imagination and communication," he said. "I'm worried about the same thing here—that an event will happen and we'll look back and say, 'How did we not do more?'

"Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew is calling for financial firms to do more to combat cybersecurity threats..."Far too many hedge funds, asset managers, insurance providers, exchanges, financial market utilities, and banks should and could be doing more,"... attacks on the US financial sector can come from a myriad of sources, including state sponsored groups, cyber criminals, politically motivated hackers and others.

"On Sept. 18, the Federal Reserve shocked the financial world with its decision not to scale back its level of support to the economy as most market participants expected... By one estimate, as much as $600 million in assets changed hands in the milliseconds before most other traders in Chicago could learn of the Fed's September surprise... The precise timing of the release is crucial because information can only travel as fast as the speed of light... like a Fed decision—released in Washington takes as much as 7 milliseconds to travel to Chicago, where futures and other assets are traded. And because high-speed trading firms are now able to execute trades at the millisecond level, there is a brief window of time in which information can be publicly available in Washington but is still traveling to Chicago, where computers won't receive it until milliseconds later." - Some traders got 'no taper' decision news earlier, CNBC, 24 Sep 2013.

"Hackers and other cybercriminals pose as grave a threat to the financial system as the recent financial crisis if banks and government officials don't mount an effective response, a top U.S. official warned Wednesday. The growing sophistication of cyberattacks spawned by criminal organizations, hackers and other foreign governments could pose a systemic risk to the financial system, Comptroller of the Currency Thomas Curry said in a speech in Washington. "The financial-services industry is one of the more attractive targets for cyberattacks, and, unfortunately, the threat is growing," Mr. Curry said. "

Risk management and quantitative modeling expert Yogesh Malhotra's recent experience is in leading quantitative finance and quantitative risk modeling projects for top Wall Street investment banks such as JP Morgan Private Bank and a Goldman Sachs alumnus' asset management firm. Prior to that he founded award-winning influential financial and risk analytics ventures with CxO clients such as Goldman Sachs. His current applied research in computational mathematical statistical and econometric modeling of uncertainty and risk related to AI, machine learning and algorithms is geared toward cutting-edge breakthroughs at the intersection of probabilistic statistics and computer science.

His May 1, 2013 presentation on cryptanalysis algorithms for most efficient prime factorization of hard composites recommended treatment of cyber risk among other critical Financial Risks. His call to action in course of presentation titled Number Field Sieve Cryptanalysis Algorithms for Most Efficient Prime Factorization on Composites preceded subsequent "Call to Arms for Banks" by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency that banks will be judged for treating cyber risks as they do other financial risks such as credit risk and market risk.

The Final Report of the AACSB International Impact of Research Task Force singled out Dr. Yogesh Malhotra's research in Information Systems as an "exemplar" of "considerable impact on practice" on Model Risk Management Practices. Besides mainstream financial and risk modeling predictive analytics and forecasting, his work has also focused on projecting future trends not predictable from historical data given high levels of environmental uncertainty, complexity and radical change characterized as 'black swans' and 'extreme events'. These are now primary concerns shared by many in cyber- and information-intensive areas such as Big Data Quantitative Analytics, hi-tech Quant Finance, Risk Modeling, Risk Management, IT Governance, and Cyber Defense.

About 15 miles from the Air Force Research Lab (AFRL), in a conference room with AFRL and other participants, Dr. Yogesh Malhotra shared three observations in his May 1, 2013 presentation on Number Field Sieve Cryptanalysis Algorithms for Most Efficient Prime Factorization of Hard Composites used for latest most successful attacks on most widely used encryption technologies. First, based on available evidence, it is not improbable that the current officially "recommended" most widely used global standard of encryption may have already been compromised. Second, it would not really be a surprise given that the infamous '40 quadrillion years' challenge for an earlier version of the standard was unraveled in mere 17 years. Third, given recent multi-billion dollar global Finance deals blown by compromise of such technologies, it is increasingly critical to recognize this exponentially increasing risk among other Financial Risks. His call to action for banks and financial institutions to treat cyber risk among other critical Financial Risks preceded the Wall Street Journal's 'A Call to Arms for Banks' of June 14, 2013 underscoring the same point made by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.

He developed a sketch of the future robust encryption standards by advancing beyond Shannon's original work on Information Theory while offering Non-Deterministic reformulations of both Kerckhoffs's principle and Shannon's maxim that underlie all modern encryption standards and technologies related practices. In the computational mathematical Theory of Computer Sciences, Automata, Computability, and Formal Programming Languages, such Non-Deterministic systems are yet considered theoretical 'thought experiments' but practically infeasible concepts and are often simplified into Deterministic computing systems for real world implementations. Analogous to his work addressing model risk management and financial risk management concerns in Finance, he outlined how future robust encryption standards for cyber risk management are feasible by bridging the disconnect between natural science theories created for controlling computing machines and the social science world of increasingly 'smart' global human networks.

"There are many definitions of knowledge management. It has been described as "a systematic process for capturing and communicating knowledge people can use."

"Dr. Yogesh Malhotra, PhD, drawing upon numerous sources, proposes several theories as to how IT can be used to drive the change of organizations. As environments become more turbulent, organizations must adapt at the same rate to maintain its advantage. Among his theories are that the turbulent environments (in this case, business, but can translate to the turbulent military conflict environment) drive organizations to use IT for empowering workers at all levels, increasing span of control, and increasing lateral communications."

"The self-organizing capacity of dynamically adaptive systems is amazing. They tend to eliminate redundancy, minimize connections, and establish priorities--all without outside direction. When something is organized, we tend to believe that someone organized it, some outside influence. But that's not necessarily so. Self-organization is a process in which the organization of a system occurs spontaneously based on the action of its members, without this process being controlled by an external system. The richness of possible behavior increases rapidly with the number of interconnections and the level of feedback. (Malhotra) "
- U.S. Army War College Quarterly

"Dr. Malhotra argues in Business Process Redesign that reengineering is the notion of discontinuous thinking -- recognizing and breaking away from outdated rules and fundamental assumptions. He suggests that reengineering principles are organized around outcomes, and that people who use the output should perform the process. This links parallel activities instead of integrating results, and puts the decision point where the work is performed (Malhotra, 1996). Integrating the DPW processes further into the installation staff can achieve these outcomes. Seventy percent of Business Process Redesigns (BPR) fail because of business focus on cost-cutting and narrow technical approaches (Malhotra, 1996). The installation commanders should decide how DPWs could best serve the community. They should have the opportunity to focus on efficient output and not on restructuring to cut cost. Developing the Corps as the primary service provider narrows the commander's options and does not solve the problem, merely the symptoms. The ultimate success of BPR depends on the experience of people who execute it and how well they apply their creativity to redesigning the processes."

"These activities are often described as "knowledge management." See Knowledge Management, in the World Wide Web Virtual Library, edited by Yogesh Malhotra.

Although others may describe and classify basic knowledge-building activities differently, "knowledge management" has been accepted as an umbrella term. See. for example, TheWorld Wide Web Virtual Library on Knowledge Management, edited by Yogesh Malhotra, (Accessed June 16, 1998)..."

"Seventy percent of BPR projects fail. Three primary obstacles inhibit the success of reengineering projects: Lack of sustained management commitment and leadership -- It is critical that senior leadership not only support BPR but also be a vocal advocate. Unrealistic scope and expectations -- It is important to manage expectations. BPR is not a panacea that will cure all ills. Resistance to change -- The world is changing all the time and the pace of change continues to accelerate. It will continue to change whether we participate or not. We must change with it or be left behind. AIT provides AIS program managers the opportunity to completely reexamine and reengineer their entire business process, because it offers capabilities not previously available in terms of timeliness and accuracy of data capture. During the operational prototype, the Air Force provided an excellent example of a reengineered business process as a result of AIT. The Supply Asset Tracking System (SATS) is a front-end server that integrates AIT with the supply AIS, the Standard Base Supply System (SBSS). SATS uses linear bar codes for tracking and inventory purposes and smart cards for personal identification to verify receipt and establish personal accountability of property. (Malhotra) "

"According to Malhotra, KM ensures that right knowledge is applied at the right place and time and it is about doing the right thing instead of doing things right. Its application to R&D will avoid unnecessary duplication of research. It can help support both individual and organizational learning from past successes and failures while guiding future actions and changes."
- International Atomic Energy Agency

"The Knowledge Management (KM) area has become so diverse over the past ten years as researchers have begun to investigate not only the mechanics of knowledge creation and transfer but also of social and cultural issues that are of importance in understanding this topic. KM is the process of leveraging and utilizing the vast, untapped potential of both implied and documented knowledge to achieve optimal performance, both are equally important for improving performance. Knowledge Management enables businesses to exchange and optimize the knowledge and experience. "Knowledge Management caters for the critical issues of organisational adoption, survival and competence in face of increasingly discontinuous environmental change. Essentially, it embodies organizational processes that seek synergistic combination of data and information processing capacity of information technologies, and the creative and innovative capacity of human beings" (Dr. Yogesh Malhotra 1997)."

"In his latest book, Knowledge Management and Virtual Organisations, KM luminary, Dr. Yogesh Malhotra, offers some cautionary advice. He exposes three myths often associated with KM solutions. The first of these is that knowledge management technologies can deliver the right information to the right person at the right time. This assumes businesses will develop incrementally in stable markets. However as Malhotra says, "the new business model in the Information Age is marked by fundamental, not incremental change. Businesses can't plan long-term; instead, they must shift to a more flexible 'anticipation of surprise' model. Thus it is impossible to build a system that predicts who the right person at the right time even is, let alone what constitutes the right information."
- Microsoft Corporation

"All can be used to further the goal of keeping the channels of communication open to allow for the exchange of issues and ideas within an organization. According to BRINT Institute chairman and CKO Dr. Yogesh Malhotra, "The key issue is not about the latest information technologies, but whether those technologies are used within, and for facilitating, a culture of information sharing, relationship building and trust." With communication and trust, set within the solid framework of a component architecture, your business can harness that elusive ability to get the right information to the right people at the right time for the right business purposes."
- Cisco Systems, Inc.

"According to Yogesh Malhotra, Knowledge Management practitioner and web author, "Knowledge Management is a brand new field emerging at the confluence of organization theory, management strategy, and management information systems." Breaking apart this definition, Knowledge Management can be defined as an internal, corporate strategy. Knowledge Management can also stand alone as a separate, Information Technology program. Malhotra is right on target when he states that Knowledge Management is a brand new field. Knowledge Management began receiving airplay in 1996. At that time, Tom Davenport wrote in CIO Magazine that a chief knowledge officer "captures and leverages structured knowledge, with information technology as a key enabler." Expanding upon Malhotra and Davenport's definitions, Knowledge Management within NCR Corporation can be defined via a business objective (strategic), a method of Knowledge Management delivery (the management information system), and a role within the organization. NCR's objective is to create, capture, and disseminate knowledge."
- NCR Corporation

"Institutionalization of 'best practices' by embedding them in information technology might facilitate efficient handling of routine, 'linear,' and predictable situations during stable or incrementally changing environments. However, when this change is discontinuous, there is a persistent need for continuous renewal of the basic premises underlying the 'best practices' stored in organizational knowledge bases. -- Yogesh Malhotra in Knowledge Management in Inquiring Organizations"
- Vice President, SAP, North America in SAP Portals ASUG Meeting

"Often used synonymously, the terms knowledge and information, are actually different. Information facilitates knowledge, and can exist without knowledge. Knowledge, however, cannot exist without information. To simplify the concept, Dr. Yogesh Malhotra, renowned scholar on Knowledge Management, defines "Knowledge" as potential for action that has an immediate link to performance. This definition suggests that a person's response or action, or contextual consideration for future action, based on information, is knowledge."

"It is generally agreed that the greatest challenges to knowledge management initiatives are resistance to change in both an organization's information-sharing culture and the business processes that occur as a result. K.M. Malhotra defined the problem as follows: Culture is the most difficult component of KM to define, quantify, measure and influence. However, the success or failure of an effective KM program is almost solely dependant upon whether an organization's culture encourages or hinders sharing and transferring knowledge freely within the organization's structure. One thing is certain: an organization's cultural predisposition toward the free transfer of knowledge is largely reflective of the proactive stance demonstrated by the organization's leadership."

"Knowledge Management refers to the critical issues of organisational adaptation, survival and competence against discontinuous environmental change. Essentially it embodies organisational processes that seek synergistic combination of data and information processing capacity of information technologies, and the creative and innovative capacity of human beings. This definition proposed by Dr. Yogesh Malhotra summarises a key issue for e-learning strategies and the way they will impact professional training and companies' organisation policies."

"In the Committee's view, definitions that treat the area as a discipline rather than a mere collection of technologies best encapsulate what knowledge management means.

"It is therefore impossible to typify the roles of Knowledge Management workers other than the CKO, and indeed these roles themselves are in a constant state of change. Dr. Yogesh Malhotra defines this as follows: Given the need for autonomy in learning and decision making, such knowledge workers would also need to be comfortable with self-control and self-learning."

"We are facing "permanent white-waters" which demands strategies for adaptation to uncertainty in contrast to the conventional emphasis on optimisation based on prediction (Malhotra 1999). To quote a decision-maker in a large multinational firm; "The future is moving so quickly that you can't anticipate it. We have put a tremendous emphasis on quick response instead of planning. We will continue to be surprised, but we won't be surprised that we are surprised. We will anticipate the surprise." (Malhotra 1999)."

"It is difficult, not to say impossible, to replace the significance of individual or collective face-to-face interactions in the sharing of tacit knowledge and articulating it as explicit in an organization, even if rapid development of interactive multimedia applications combining text, image and sound offers increasingly advanced communication potential. Virtual forms of working and work organization might at best supplement, but never totally replace, self-managing teams with close physical and social contacts, for instance, as a forum for learning. (Malhotra) "

"A key feature of knowledge management is the sharing of knowledge as opposed to simply the dissemination of information. Knowledge has a different quality to information. Knowledge includes human experience and the ability to make complex judgments based on past experience. Information is more about mere data whereas knowledge is 'potential for action'. (Malhotra)

"Knowledge management refers to the critical issues of organizational adaptation, survival and competence against discontinuous environmental change. Essentially it embodies organizational processes that seek synergistic combination of data and information processing capacity of information technologies, and the creative and innovative capacity of human beings," says Dr. Yogesh Malhotra, founding chairman and chief knowledge architect of the BRINT Institute, in an interview with Alistair Craven. Widely recognized as a knowledge management pioneer, Malhotra adds, "Knowledge management is more about the pragmatic and thoughtful application of any concept or definition, as it is not in the definition but in real world execution where opportunities and challenges lie. Any definition therefore must be understood within the specific context of expected performance outcomes and value propositions that answer the question 'Why' about relevance of KM.""

"Estes ativos do conhecimento aumentam com o uso e daí a importância de as empresas identificarem o que sabem e manterem todo o esforço para desenvolverem área de gestão do conhecimento. A gestão do conhecimento, segundo Malhotra é a capacidade de catalizar os aspectos críticos de adaptação, sobrevivência e competência, buscando uma combinação sinérgica da capacidade de processar informações e conhecimento com a capacidade criativa e inovativa dos seres humanos. (MALHOTRA, 1999)."

"The focus of knowledge management is on 'doing the right thing' instead of doing things right’, (Yogesh Malhotra, 2001). The emphasize is that that knowledge management provides framework within which the organization views all processes of the activities to sustain the business and/or ensuring the business survival. Within the army organization, there is no difference. The army needs to keep pace with the technology advancement preparing for the increasingly dynamic and unpredictable regional and world environment."

"Dr. Yogesh Malhotra, one of the experts and founder contributor in the development of concept of KM has defined the KM as under : "Knowledge Management caters to the critical issues of organizational adaptation, survival and competence in face of increasingly discontinuous environmental change. Essentially, it embodies organizational processes that seek synergistic combination of data and information processing capacity of information technologies, and the creative and innovative capacity of human beings". As it is clear from this definition that objective of Knowledge Management as a crucial management function is not only to survive under changing environment but also to make the organisation adaptable and competitive. The same is particularly applicable for Banks in India, since they are now operating under such a dynamic business environment."

"Dr. Yogesh Malhotra, the Founder and Chief Knowledge Architect of BRINT, and a well-known expert in the field of K-economy, opines: "The challenges facing us as we enter the 21st Century are formidable.

"Knowledge Management has structural and functional basis in the IM (Information Management or IRM. The main difference is the high degree of dynamic activity involved in the KM system. To summarize in the words of Dr. Malhotra, (10) 'use of the information and control systems and compliance with pre-defined goals, objectives and best practices may not necessarily achieve long-term organizational competence. This is the world of 're-use,' 're-engineering', 're-cycling' etc, which challenges the assumptions underlying the 'accepted way of doing things.' This world needs the capability to understand the problems afresh given the changing environmental conditions. Knowledge management focuses on 'doing the right thing' instead of 'doing things right.'"

"Finally, all who are concerned with IT security issues should understand -- and appreciate -- the difference between information and knowledge. Information, writes Yogesh Malhotra, PhD, is embedded in a computer -- while knowledge is embedded in people. "Information generated by a computer is not a very rich carrier of human interpretation for potential action," he writes. "Computer are merely tools, however great their information-processing capabilities may be."

"Leadership Quote of the Week: The focus of knowledge management is on doing the right thing instead of doing things right... Yogesh Malhotra"
- Chartered Management Institute, UK

"Dr. Yogesh Malhotra, founder of the Brint Institute and a pioneer in knowledge management, posits that "the basic premise is that you can predict how and what you'll need to do and that IS can simplify this and do it efficiently". However, the new business model, he says, is marked by fundamental, not incremental, change and businesses can't plan long-term. Instead, they must shift to a more flexible "anticipation of surprise" model, making it impossible to build a system that can predict what is the right information to be delivered to the right person at the right time. This is not to say that information technology has been displaced from the knowledge management equation; its place has been preserved by a growing realisation among developers that software alone cannot automatically be seen as the solution."
- National President of the Australian Computer Society, Australia

"Yogesh Malhotra, founding chairman and chief knowledge officer for the BRINT Institute in Syracuse, New York, believes that the fundamental distinction between data and knowledge plays a major role in whether a system is designed for adaptation and quick response to change. "Dynamic and radically changing environments overwhelm the deterministic logic of a structured model, resulting in a 70 percent failure rate that has characterized implementations of knowledge management models" says Malhotra. Recounting his visit to a Silicon Valley hi-tech consulting firm, Malhotra attributes most failed corporate intranet initiatives to the above fallacy... Malhotra says that once routinized for efficiency and optimization, knowledge-harvesting processes may be delegated to others. However, supply managers need to be more proactively involved in knowledge-creation and knowledge-renewal processes..."

"Yogesh Malhotra, founding Chairman and Chief Knowledge Architect of the BRINT Institute states: "Knowledge management software is not a canned solution; "Knowledge management technologies cannot always deliver the right information to the right person at the right time; "Information technologies cannot store human intelligence and experience; "Knowledge management systems do not account for renewal of existing knowledge and creation of new knowledge; "Greater incentives are needed for workers to contribute quality content to KMS." Improper use of KMS databases can waste resources if an organization does not really know what knowledge assets it possesses and fails to capitalize on potential new initiatives."

"Similarly, Dr. Yogesh Malhotra, the famous "Knowledge Architect", wrote a cautionary article on "When Best [Practices] Becomes Worst", Momentum: the Quality Magazine of Australasia, Quality Society of Australasia, NSW (Australia, 2002). In fact, the conditions for producing and utilizing knowledge workers are not a question of the persons concerned merely acquiring subject-matter expertise, problem-solving competency and communication skills. It is essential to provide an environment where such persons can operate and flourish. In the same vein, one of Malhotra's recent books (monograph) for UNESCO discusses knowledge work taking place in "hyper turbulent organizational environments.""

"KM has become an increasingly important management discipline in recent years. Nevertheless, some say the phrase KM is unhelpful because 'knowledge is not a "thing" that can be "managed"1. They challenge the 'dominance and control model' that often underlies traditional views of knowledge and organisational management and development. They assert instead the notion that knowledge is largely cognitive, tacit and highly personal. They champion the fundamental role of people and the social interactive basis of knowledge sharing and creation. (Malhotra, Y..) "
