Data compliance in the modern technology landscape feels like a constantly moving target as more and different laws, rules and regulations are passed locally, nationally and internationally. The days when only some organizations or certain countries had to worry about data compliance are gone. It’s everyone’s problem.
However, it is possible to define a core set of processes that will help to enable your ability to assist your business, or government agency, in meeting these compliance requirements. This session will walk you through the 10 steps you need to implement in order to move your organization towards full compliance with any, or all, of the regulations we all now face. From identifying where your data lives to monitoring for compliance and all the steps in between, you can meet this challenge.

APT(Advanced Persistent Threats) & strategies to counter APTAvkash Kathiriya
An advanced persistent threat (APT) is a network attack in which an unauthorized person gains access to a network and stays there undetected for a long period of time. The intention of an APT attack is to steal data rather than to cause damage to the network or organization. APT attacks target organizations in sectors with high-value information, such as national defense, manufacturing and the financial industry.
‘Advanced’ means it gets through your existing defenses.
‘Persistent’ means it succeeds in hiding from your existing level of detection.
‘Threat’ means it causes you harm.”
Because APTs operate covertly and are difficult to detect, months can pass with no visible compromises to the organization quietly under attack. Moreover, single instances may be detected while multiple others inside the same organization go unnoticed. Comparable to combating a life-threatening disease, early detection is vital. So to defeat the APT, all you need is a strategy. No single tool can help you defeat APT.

Marketing Your Open Source Project (All Things Open 2018)Amazon Web Services
Your open source project competes with millions of others for users, contributors, and perhaps financial support. To stand out from the crowd, your project needs… marketing. If that term makes you shudder, or you simply don’t think you know how, this talk (aimed at anyone involved in open source) will help you understand the why and the how of open source marketing.
DevOps needs to consider many different aspects of software quality, including security. The term DevSecOps was developed to highlight that security is a focus of the pipeline, not a second-class citizen.
Fortunately, we can define done for our pipeline so that it includes security. Continuous integration can invoke static analysis tools to test for security errors and check if we are using components with known vulnerabilities. Automated deployments and virtualization make dynamic environments available for testing in a production-like setting. Regression tests can drive traffic through proxies for security analysis. From the code to the systems where we deploy the software, the process can be designed to make sure that we follow security best practices, and not produce insecure software.
Participants will learn how to construct a definition of done that focuses on security in a DevOps pipeline. They will see how to define security practices that build confidence that they are doing DevSecOps, and how those practices and criteria might mature over time.
This talk was presented at NoVA UX event on August 21, 2019.

Making the Case for Stronger Endpoint Data Visibilitydianadvo
As security practitioners, we often get caught up worrying about protecting against the latest threat or patching the latest zero-day, however we should spend at least an equal amount of time understanding the data risks of our users and how to offer both better visibility into endpoint data usage, as well as guidance into good data protection practices.
There are a number of different products and vendors that touch on these aspects, but there is no one-stop shop for data protection, and likely never will be. DLP, or Data Loss Prevention, can look at known content types for matches and take protective actions. However, most DLP deployments never moved beyond monitoring due to over-blocking or false positive concerns. Endpoint employee monitoring can take good forensic information, even screenshots to recreate evidence of either inappropriate data usage, or other significant events, though these types of technology are often cumbersome, hard to realize the value and present some serious privacy and ethical concerns. EDR or Endpoint Detection and Response is very threat-focused, with a severe limit on data visibility, and often does little more than capture a checksum of a file, with no content inspection or awareness. UEBA, or User and Entity Behavior Analytics, can often be deployed in conjunction with SIEM or log management capabilities to get a better contextual view of your organization, however, you must first have some semblance of “normal” or a baseline before you can uncover abnormal.
Organizations should begin building the case for stronger endpoint data visibility. This improved data visibility must be easy to use, fast to provide actionable answers, not impede other endpoint security capabilities, and most importantly provide the financial impact of endpoint data and the decisions that users make with that data.

Bridging the gap between CyberSecurity R&D and UXDefCamp
(1) The document discusses bridging the gap between research and development (R&D) and user experience (UX) in product development.
(2) It emphasizes the importance of asking questions to understand user needs, focusing on user feelings over features, and ensuring users understand how to use products easily.
(3) The key lessons are to thoroughly question requirements, balance R&D and UX priorities, focus on satisfying core users, understand what users truly value, and make products feel intuitive and fast to use.
This document discusses multi-factor authentication (MFA) and methods for bypassing it. It defines MFA as requiring more than one validation procedure to authenticate individuals. It describes the different factors of authentication as something you know, something you have, and something you are. It outlines various deployment modules for each factor type, including passwords, tokens, biometrics. It also covers challenges of MFA implementation and methods attackers could use to bypass MFA security, such as email filtering or legacy protocol exploitation.
Threat Hunting: From Platitudes to Practical ApplicationDefCamp

Timing attacks against web applications: Are they still practical?DefCamp
This document discusses the practicality of timing attacks against web applications. It begins by explaining what a timing attack is and detailing the author's plan to conduct one against a target application. The plan involved studying the application's code, pinpointing an exploitable function, collecting timing data, filtering noise, and reducing the search space. The author was able to measure response times and identify spikes but encountered challenges averaging server performance. They demonstrate conducting a timing attack to recover hashed credentials over many requests. Ultimately, while timing attacks can be efficient, they are difficult to execute remotely and most applications and servers have protections that render the attacks impractical. Constant-time algorithms and rate limiting are presented as solutions to prevent these types of attacks.

Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.
[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...Jason Yip
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024Vadym Kazulkin
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks. I'll also provide a lot of benchmarking on Lambda functions trying out various deployment package sizes, Lambda memory settings, Java compilation options and HTTP (a)synchronous clients and measure their impact on cold and warm start times.
