(ISC)2 Cincinnati Tri-State Chapter: Phishing Forensics - Is it just suspicio...ThreatReel Podcast
Abstract:
What thoughts currently make tech defenders uneasy as they go to bed at night? Despite implementing and properly configuring the latest technological controls and security solutions into our environments, end users typically remain the most vulnerable point of entry into nearly any network. Unfortunately, only one misstep by a single user provides attackers with the foothold they need to begin compromising an entire enterprise network environment. The safety of our inboxes is a key initiative on the battlefront of protecting staff from the scourge of phishing and spear phishing attacks. We will perform a deep-dive look at the latest techniques used by criminals to bypass security products and traditional defense-in-depth strategies. We then focus heavily on conducting a digital forensic investigation on a sample phishing email message. Topics covered include technical analysis of message headers, message source code, message attachments, and malicious landing web pages even when a dedicated sandbox environment is unavailable.

Password lifespans at UCL - a training opportunityJisc
This document discusses password lifespans and alternatives to regular password expiration policies. It describes how UCL previously required passwords to change every 150 days, which resulted in complex, difficult to remember passwords and many help desk calls. The document proposes making password lifespans a learning opportunity, allowing longer passwords to have longer lifespans. It details how UCL implemented this by showing password lifespans when setting passwords. The outcome was very positive with no increase in password reset calls despite adding new user accounts.
This document provides an overview of internet banking, including its history, definition, types, services, and how it works. It began in 1981 when major New York banks offered home banking services using videotext systems. Internet banking allows customers to view accounts, pay bills, and transfer money online instead of visiting a bank. While offering advantages like lower costs and faster transactions, it also presents security risks like hacking if proper precautions are not taken. The document concludes that banks aim to provide valuable online services and products to customers using internet-based technologies.
Passwords are important for securing access to online accounts and resources. There are many ways passwords can be stolen, such as through social engineering, keyloggers, or password cracking. It is important to generate strong passwords using a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Users should make passwords unique for each account and change them regularly. CAPTCHAs and reCAPTCHAs help determine if a user is human and can also digitize printed text.

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:

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
