You don’t need to be a security expert to protect your organizations data in the cloud. You don’t need to be a security expert to protect your workloads on AWS. You just need to be informed of the many security tools available in AWS, and learn how to use them.
Taking a highly automated approach to security, you can use key features of the AWS Cloud to transform security in your organization. As with infrastructure as an API, security as an API allows you to move rapidly & stay secure. From AWS security groups, to virtual private networks, to security tools, you need to learn how to automate and accelerate.
In this talk, you’ll see how various AWS features and cloud-aware security controls can work together to protect your deployments. Using real-world examples, you’ll come away with an understanding of steps you can take to ensure that you maximize the security of your deployment while minimizing the work it takes to keep it secure.

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:

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Conditional Access
These are conditions that you can include in a conditional access policy:
Group membership. Control a user's access based on membership in a group.
Location. Use the location of the user to trigger multi-factor authentication, and use block controls when a user is not on a trusted network.
Device platform. Use the device platform, such as iOS, Android, Windows Mobile, or Windows, as a condition for applying policy.
Device-enabled. Device state, whether enabled or disabled, is validated during device policy evaluation. If you disable a lost or stolen device in the directory, it can no longer satisfy policy requirements.
Sign-in and user risk. You can use Azure AD Identity Protection for conditional access risk policies. Conditional access risk policies help give your organization advance protection based on risk events and unusual sign-in activities.
There are a few key differences between policy and role-based access control, but the first thing to understand is that policies and RBAC work together. To use policies, you must be authenticated through RBAC. Unlike RBAC, policy is a default allow and explicit deny system.
RBAC focuses on the actions a user can perform at different scopes. For example, a particular user is added to the contributor role for a resource group at the desired scope, so the user can make changes to that resource group.
Policy focuses on resource actions at various scopes. For example, through policies, you can control the types of resources that can be provisioned or restrict the locations in which the resources can be provisioned.
Basically, a policy contains the following elements:
Condition/Logical operators: a set of conditions that can be manipulated through a set of logical operators.
Effect: what happens when the condition is satisfied – either deny or audit. An audit effect emits a warning event service log. For example, an administrator can create a policy that causes an audit event if anyone creates a large VM. The administrator can review the logs later.
Policies and RBAC
Work together
Must be authenticated via RBAC to use policies
RBAC is default deny, policies are default allow
RBAC concerned with actions user can perform at a scope
Policies focuses on resource actions and rules
Policies Defined as JSON documents
Policy supports three types of effect - deny, audit, and append.
Deny generates an event in the audit log and fails the request
Audit generates an event in audit log but does not fail the request
Append adds the defined set of fields to the request
For append, you must provide the following details:
Applying ReadOnly can lead to unexpected results because some operations that seem like read operations actually require additional actions. For example, placing a ReadOnly lock on a storage account prevents all users from listing the keys. The list keys operation is handled through a POST request because the returned keys are available for write operations. For another example, placing a ReadOnly lock on an App Service resource prevents Visual Studio Server Explorer from displaying files for the resource because that interaction requires write access.
