Regulatory compliance mandates have historically focused on IT & endpoint security as the primary means to protect data. However, as our digital economy has increasingly become software dependent, standards bodies have dutifully added requirements as they relate to development and deployment practices. Enterprise applications and cloud-based services constantly store and transmit data; yet, they are often difficult to understand and assess for compliance.
This webcast will present a practical approach towards mapping application security practices to common compliance frameworks. It will discuss how to define and enact a secure, repeatable software development lifecycle (SDLC) and highlight activities that can be leveraged across multiple compliance controls. Topics include:
* Consolidating security and compliance controls
* Creating application security standards for development and operations teams
* Identifying and remediating gaps between current practices and industry accepted "best practices”

Beware the Firewall My Son: The Jaws That Bite, The Claws That Catch!Michele Chubirka
Nothing strikes fear into the heart of an engineer more than the installation of a firewall to achieve the laudable goal of defense-in-depth through network segmentation. Security teams demand the implementation of firewalls telling everyone, “It’s for compliance!” But the addition of firewalls and other security appliances (aka chokepoints) into an infrastructure infuriates network engineers who design to optimize speed and minimize latency. Sysadmins and DBAs are equally frustrated, because of the increased complexity in building and troubleshooting applications. So it’s down the rabbit hole we go trying to achieve the unachievable with everyone waxing rhapsodic for those bygone days when the end-to-end principle ruled the Internet. Is it really possible to have security coexist with operational efficiency? Organizations seem happy to throw money at technology and operations, but when it comes to policies and procedures, they fail miserably. This is the biggest problem with building a layered design. As engineers, if we don’t have clear policies as a set of requirements, how will we determine the appropriate network segmentation and protections to put in place? The answer lies in aligning network segmentation with an organizational data classification matrix and understanding that while compliance and security often overlap, they’re not the same.
Wfh security risks - Ed Adams, President, Security InnovationPriyanka Aash

IoT Systems provide powerful, flexible features for IT systems — tracking, monitoring, and other data sharing. Today’s IoT devices utilize microservices and APIs that make them easy to put into production. But securing them isn’t as easy.
This webinar will look at security risks of IoT devices, interfaces, and implementations. We’ll provide practical steps and checklists any DevOps team can use to make their IoT components as secure as possible. We’ll also cover some testing best practices that can be done pre- and post-production to verify security and resilience on an ongoing basis.
Similar to Application Security: What do we need to know? (20)
We constantly see how IoT security is bypassed and abused, creating the biggest Botnet in history or the biggest DDoS attack ever recorded. But what happens when we used common devices like routers as a weapon? and/or use IoT development platforms such as Raspberry Pi, Arduino, ESP8266 and other to create cyber-weapons? Let find out!
Incident handlers manage security incidents by understanding common attack techniques, vectors and tools as well as defending against and/or responding to such attacks when they occur. In this talk we will discuss modern attacks, techniques, how to defend & respond to those threats.
There is a lot of talk of how drones are bad for privacy, things can get really interesting when you combine your Xcopter with WiFi, air traffic control, video cameras and can actually become a remote controlled turret. Interesting or scary, you decide.
InfoSec Gamification
By: Jose L. Quiñones
@josequinones
Learn how gamification works for infosec scenarios. This presentation was given on 9/18/2014 at the Init6 Meeting
Abstract: When attacking a target you should never do it directly from your machine or your detection will be to easy, use proxies or network pivots to obscure your origin. Also after a successful penetration of a network a hacker (good or bad) will immediately search to move horizontally thru the network and use the existing infrastructure to pivot their attacks. Learn various ways to do this and "never" get caught.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

7. What’s the surface area of an application?
Client (FrontEnd)
◦ UX/UI
◦ Web, Mobile, OS Binaries
Application/Business Logic
◦ DB Engine
◦ API Calls
◦ Tasks
Data/Infrastructure
◦ Caching
◦ DB
◦ File System
9. What Are Application Security Risks?
Attackers can potentially use many different paths through your application to do harm to your business
or organization. Each of these paths represents a risk that may, or may not, be serious enough to warrant
attention
10. Application Vulnerabilities
◦Affects home-brew, customized and packaged applications
all the same
◦Usually have vulnerabilities as a result of poor coding, QA ,
deployment and administration
◦All apps are NOT created equal. Each application provides
unique methods of attack it.
11. Common Errors
◦ Bad Coding Practices
◦ Weak authentication and/poor crypto
◦ Bad implementations of security measures
◦ Poor data validation
◦ Written errors or poor error checking
◦ Bad configurations
13. File Permissions
◦ Many (poorly written)
applications will break
inheritance when saving files
◦ Modify contains every right that
full control does, except for
Change Permission and Take
Ownership.
◦ Giving excessive permissions can
give access to users
14. Network Access
Case: Dr. Alice & Patient Bob
◦ No special hardware was used, only
a stock iPhone
◦ No special tools were used, only
App Store applicacions
◦ Because of bad access
confguration, Bob had access
directly the Alice’s DB files
15. Temp Files
• Temp files from editing,
configuration and
installation tools can
leave interesting
information behind.
• Even if deleted these
file scan be recovered.
20. GPU cryptanalysis
• Cryptanalysis is used to
breach cryptographic
security systems and gain
access to the contents of
encrypted messages,
even if the cryptographic
key is unknown.
21. What about web/mobile Apps?
https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Category:OWASP_Top_Ten_Project
24. Passwords
Do not use personal information for passwords
Do not use dictionary words as passwords
Use at least 3 of the following: a-z, A-Z, 0-9, !@#$%^&*
At least 12-16 characters long
Use passphrases
◦ Ex: 1 Lik3 c0ld Pizz4 W1th Cok@!!
Use a password manager (There are to many passwords)
25. Encryption
At rest
Drive encryption
File encryption
Data encryption
In transit
Encrypted Protocols (SSL/TLS)
End-to-end encryption (IM)
Message encryption (Email)
“I am sure there are better ways to
disguise sensitive information”
27. User Awareness (Social Engineering)
Common Techniques
◦ Impersonation
◦ Pretext
◦ Framing
◦ Elicitation
Common attacks
◦ Customer Service
◦ Tech support
◦ Delivery person
◦ Phone
◦ Email/Phishing
http://www.social-engineer.org/framework/general-discussion/
28. Ask the right questions …
Are the communications secure?
Are the files saved secure?
What parts of the systems does this application modifies/uses?
What system privileges does the user needs to run the application?
What application privileges does the user have, depending on
his/her role?
29. … getting BAD answers?
Turn off the firewall
We use very strong proprietary encryption
Give Everyone full control permissions
You need Administrator privileges for the application to work.
Create a generic user for everyone
30. Talk to your developers …
◦ Enforce a strong password policy
◦ Use strong encryption with up to date encryption standards
◦ Use strong, salted hashing algorithms
◦ Secure messaging (encrypt & tunnel)
◦ Secure data at rest (whole disk encryption, file encryption and data obfuscation)
◦ Stored procedures and parameterized queries for DB access
◦ Input Validation, Use fuzzers and automatic code review tools.
◦ Use restrictions, triggers and alerts on your DB
◦ Enable audit trails and log everything (success / failure)
◦ Use monitoring tools (Sysmon, Regmon, Windows ADK , ZAP/BurpSuite/Fidler) to
learn how to application works
