Security engineering 101 when good design & security work togetherWendy Knox Everette
Security concerns are often dealt with as an afterthought—the focus is on building a product, and then security features or compensating controls are thrown in after the product is nearly ready to launch. Why do so many development teams take this approach? For one, they may not have an application security team to advise them. Or the security team may be seen as a roadblock, insisting on things that make the product less user friendly, or in tension with performance goals or other business demands. But security doesn’t need to be a bolt-on in your software process; good design principles should go hand in hand with a strong security stance. What does your engineering team need to know to begin designing safer, more robust software from the get-go?
Drawing on experience working in application security with companies of various sizes and maturity levels, Wendy Knox Everette focuses on several core principles and provides some resources for you to do more of a deep dive into various topics. Wendy begins by walking you through the design phase, covering the concerns you should pay attention to when you’re beginning work on a new feature or system: encapsulation, access control, building for observability, and preventing LangSec-style parsing issues. This is also the best place to perform an initial threat model, which sounds like a big scary undertaking but is really just looking at the moving pieces of this application and thinking about who might use them in unexpected ways, and why.
She then turns to security during the development phase. At this point, the focus is on enforcing secure defaults, using standard encryption libraries, protecting from malicious injection, insecure deserialization, and other common security issues. You’ll learn what secure configurations to enable, what monitoring and alerting to put in place, how to test your code, and how to update your application, especially any third-party dependencies.
Now that the software is being used by customers, are you done? Not really. It’s important to incorporate information about how customers interact as well as any security incidents back into your design considerations for the next version. This is the time to dust off the initial threat model and update it, incorporating everything you learned along the way.

Your organization is running fast to build your business. You are developing new applications faster than ever and utilizing new cloud-based development platforms. Your customers and employees expect applications that are powerful, highly usable, and secure. Yet this need for speed coupled with new development techniques is increasing the likelihood of security issues.
How can you meet the needs of speed to market with security? Hear Paul Ionescu, IBM Security, Ethical Hacking Team Lead discuss:
- How application attacks work
- Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) goals
- How to build defenses into your applications
- The 10 most common web application attacks, including demos of the infamous Shellshock and Heartbleed vulnerabilities
- How to test for and prevent these types of threats
Threat modeling is a way of thinking about what can go wrong and how to prevent it. Instinctively, we all think this way in regard to our own personal security and safety. When it comes to building or evaluating information systems, we need to develop a similar mindset. In this slide deck, Robert Hurlbut provides practical strategies to develop a threat modeling mindset by: understanding a system, identifying threats, identifying vulnerabilities, determining mitigations and applying the mitigations through risk management.
As delusions of effective risk management for application environments continue to spread, companies continue to bleed large amounts of security spending without truly knowing if the amount is warranted, effective, or even elevating security at all. In parallel, hybrid, thought-provoking security strategies are moving beyond conceptual ideas to practical applications within ripe environments. Application Threat Modeling is one of those areas that, beyond the hype, provides practical and sensible security strategy that leverages already existing security efforts for an improved threat model of what is lurking in the shadows.

Just Trust Everyone and We Will Be Fine, Right?Scott Carlson
As a CISO, you have been asked why you can't just trust your employees to do the right thing. What benefit to the business comes from technical security controls? You have likely been asked to reduce risk and action every funded project at once. In this session, we will realistically consider which projects can reduce risk most quickly, which layers of security are most important, and how things like privilege management, vulnerability control, over-communicating, and simply reducing the attack surface can bring peace of mind and actual direct improvements to your information security posture.

OWASP Top 10 List Overview for Web DevelopersBenjamin Floyd
The OWASP Top 10 List was recently updated for 2013, and many developers still do not know what it is or why they should care. It is a list of the top web security threats developers need to address to produce secure websites. Most developers aren't security experts, so the OWASP Top 10 Project has created resources designed for developers to quickly test their applications. Come hear about the list, why and how you can use it to make your job easier, and learn about resources you can use to quickly determine if your applications are addressing security threats properly.
8 Patterns For Continuous Code Security by Veracode CTO Chris WysopalThreat Stack
Deploying insecure web applications into production can be risky -- resulting in potential loss of customer data, corporate intellectual property and/or brand value. Yet many organizations still deploy public-facing applications without assessing them for common and easily-exploitable vulnerabilities such as SQL Injection and Cross-Site Scripting (XSS).
This is because traditional approaches to application security are typically complex, manual and time-consuming – deterring agile teams from incorporating code analysis into their sprints.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. By incorporating key SecDevOps concepts into the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) – including centralized policies and tighter collaboration and visibility between security and DevOps teams – we can now embed continuous code-level security and assessment into our agile development processes. We’ve uncovered eight patterns that work together to transform cumbersome waterfall methodologies into efficient and secure agile development.

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).

Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
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.

23. Vulnerabilities A vulnerability is an error made in a program, causing unintended behavior of the program in a way that affects security negatively. FIRST defines a vulnerability as: “a bug, flaw, weakness, or exposure of an application, system, device, or service that could lead to a failure of confidentiality, integrity, or availability.”
30. Exploits An exploit is a specific example of triggering a vulnerability. If the vulnerability is a missile, the exploit is the warhead.
31. Exploits Examples of exploits: Morris Worm Almost everything at http://www.milw0rm.com/ http://www.example.com/displayfile.php?../../../../etc/passwd
32. Exploits Easy way to think about it: If typing “ perl –e ‘print “A” x 10000; ” makes it crash, you’ve found a vulnerability If you end up with this, you’ve got a working exploit: bash-3.00# id uid=0(root) gid=0(wheel) groups=0(wheel), 2(kmem), 3(sys), 4(tty), 5(operator), 20(staff), 31(guest), 45(utmp)
40. Finding Balance “Not all "harmless failures" lead to big trouble, but it's surprising how often a clever adversary can pile up a stack of seemingly harmless failures into a dangerous tower of trouble. Harmless failures are bad hygiene. We try to stamp them out when we can.” – Ed Felten, Freedom to Tinker http://preview.tinyurl.com/c6ewzv
41. Security Architecture The OWASP Secure Coding Principles puts it thus: “ Security architecture starts on the day the business requirements are modeled, and never finish until the last copy of your application is decommissioned. Security is a life-long process, not a one shot accident.” http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Secure_Coding_Principles
42.
43. If I were evil, how would I abuse this feature?
44. Is the feature required to be on by default? If so, are there limits or options that could help reduce the risk from this feature?
46. Security in the Bones Software design, as well as implementation, must consider the three pillars of information security. Otherwise, you're going to fail.
47. 10 Principles Minimize attack surface area Establish secure defaults Least privilege Defense in depth Fail securely Don’t trust services Separation of duties Avoid security through obscurity Keep security simple Fix security issues correctly The OWASP guide gives 10 principles for writing secure code:
48.
49. Give the attacker the absolute minimum possible to work with when trying to discover an attack. By reducing complexity of an application, the number of possible vulnerabilities is also reduced.
51. If a variable level of security is desired, have the default be high, and leave it up to the user to make the decision to lower it. This prevents “out of the box” insecurities.
52.
53. Any component of a system should have only as much privilege as necessary to function properly. This is best known for permissions on user accounts, but also applies to software components.
58. A system should be designed with the idea of failing securely in mind. At any point, if something goes wrong, the system should not be left in a less secure state.
60. Even if external data is coming from a trustworthy source, give it the same level of validation as any input that isn’t trusted.
61.
62. System roles should be considered when giving out privileges. Administrators of a system generally aren’t also users; while some super-user privileges may be needed to run the system, administrators don’t necessarily need the ability to do anything.
68. Any problem that is being fixed needs to be treated as an actual problem, and not a symptom. The fix must go through the entire security process the same as new code; a fix isn’t a real fix if it introduces new problems.
69. Fix Security Issues Correctly It was in the news again days later, when it turned out the fix wasn't a fix.
80. Don't turn off Valgrind unless you know what you're doing (o hai OpenSSL)
81. Another OWASP List! Top Ten Most Critical Web Application Security Vulnerabilities 2007 Version
82. A1 – Cross Site Scripting (XSS) XSS flaws occur whenever an application takes user supplied data and sends it to a web browser without first validating or encoding that content. XSS allows attackers to execute script in the victim’s browser which can hijack user sessions, deface web sites, possibly introduce worms, etc.
83. A1 – Cross Site Scripting (XSS) <script>window.alert("meow")</script>
85. A2 – Injection Flaws Injection flaws, particularly SQL injection, are common in web applications. Injection occurs when user-supplied data is sent to an interpreter as part of a command or query. The attacker’s hostile data tricks the interpreter into executing unintended commands or changing data.
87. A3 - Malicious File Execution Code vulnerable to remote file inclusion (RFI) allows attackers to include hostile code and data, resulting in devastating attacks, such as total server compromise. Malicious file execution attacks affect PHP, XML and any framework which accepts filenames or files from users.
88. A4 - Insecure Direct Object Reference A direct object reference occurs when a developer exposes a reference to an internal implementation object, such as a file, directory, database record, or key, as a URL or form parameter. Attackers can manipulate those references to access other objects without authorization.
89. A5 - Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) A CSRF attack forces a logged-on victim's browser to send a pre-authenticated request to a vulnerable web application, which then forces the victim's browser to perform a hostile action to the benefit of the attacker. CSRF can be as powerful as the web application that it attacks.
90. A6 - Information Leakage and Improper Error Handling Applications can unintentionally leak information about their configuration, internal workings, or violate privacy through a variety of application problems. Attackers use this weakness to steal sensitive data, or conduct more serious attacks.

92. A7 - Broken Authentication and Session Management Account credentials and session tokens are often not properly protected. Attackers compromise passwords, keys, or authentication tokens to assume other users' identities.
93. A8 - Insecure Cryptographic Storage Web applications rarely use cryptographic functions properly to protect data and credentials. Attackers use weakly protected data to conduct identity theft and other crimes, such as credit card fraud.
94. A9 - Insecure Communications Applications frequently fail to encrypt network traffic when it is necessary to protect sensitive communications.
96. A10 - Failure to Restrict URL Access Frequently, an application only protects sensitive functionality by preventing the display of links or URLs to unauthorized users. Attackers can use this weakness to access and perform unauthorized operations by accessing those URLs directly.
