Protecting Vital Data With NIST Framework - Patrick Kerpan's Secure260 presentation 2016
LocusView Solutions, a Chicago-based subsidiary of the Gas Technology Institute (GTI), applied the NIST Cybersecurity Framework to pass penetration tests and compliance auditing in 2015.
LocusView provides a SaaS solutions to the natural gas industry, and wanted to go beyond standard regulatory compliance to save money and streamline the audit process.
As organizations spend more time and efforts to fight data breaches and fears of fallout from a data loss, IT teams like LocusView can begin comparing existing cybersecurity practices to the NIST Framework to quickly identify any gaps in pinpointing, assessing, and managing risks in their networks.
The NIST Framework was created for critical infrastructure — banking, aviation, defense — all organizations can easily apply the principles to their operations. While traditional audit-focused standards value policies and checklists, NIST’s risk-based approach focuses on business and customers.
As part of an in-depth audit, LocusView used the NIST Framework to ensure everything from customer data to cloud-based networks are truly secure.

Security architecture analyses brief 21 april 2015Bill Ross
This brief defines problems with security architecture development, security architecture methodologies, and how to implement a security architecture briefing. This brief was created to define the themes stated in the INFOSECFORCE llc paper called the "Inviible Person ... the Security Architect"
Enumeration belongs to the first phase of Ethical Hacking, i.e., “Information Gathering”. This is a process where the attacker establishes an active connection with the victim and try to discover as much attack vectors as possible, which can be used to exploit the systems further.

Introduction to Risk Management via the NIST Cyber Security FrameworkPECB
The cyber security profession has successfully established explicit guidance for practitioners to implement effective cyber security programs via the NIST Cyber Security Framework (CSF). The CSF provides both a roadmap and a measuring stick for effective cyber security. Application of the CSF within cyber is nothing new, but the resurgence of Enterprise Security Risk Management and Security Convergence highlight opportunities for expanded application for cyber, physical, and personnel security risks. This NIST CSF can help practitioners build a cross-pollenated understanding of holistic risk.
Main points covered:
• Understand the purpose, value, and application of the NIST CSF in familiar non-technical terms.
• Understand how the Functions and Categories of the NIST CSF (the CSF “Core”) and an organization's “current” and “target” profiles are relevant and valuable in a variety of sectors and environments.
• Understand how an organization’s physical and cyber security resources and stakeholders can align with the NIST CSF as a tool to achieve holistic security risk management.
Presenters:
David Feeney, CPP, PMP has 17 years of security industry experience assisting organizations with risk management matters specific to physical, personnel, and cyber security. He has 9 years of experience with service providers and 8 years of experience within enterprise security organizations.

Cybersecurity Training Playlist: https://bit.ly/2NqcTQV
The intent of the paper is to propose a simple yet comprehensive technique to model enterprise security architecture and design aligned to SABSA that enables –
Standardisation of SABSA Enterprise Security Architecture framework by formalizing common language used in the form of ESA modelling notation
Reusability of model artefacts (not documents) to enable enterprise and department level collaboration and knowledge management
Generic or organisation specific Library of assets for various ESA artefacts such as – Business attribute profile(s), security services, mechanisms and components and associated views
Tool-assisted development using a separate toolbox for ESA that augments Enterprise Architecture (ToGAF) modelling using Archimate.
The strategic importance of Information Security for organisations is gaining momentum. The current surge in cyber threats is compelling organisations to invest in information security to protect their assets. Rushing to protect assets often comes with the expense of excessive technology adoption without a valid strategic foundation. Enterprise Security Architecture is geared to address these issues, but is frequently misaligned with Enterprise Architecture. In this presentation we explore avenues for the adoption and enforcement of Security-By-Design in the Enterprise Architecture value-chain so as position Risk, Security and IT as true business enablers.

DETECTION OF ALGORITHMICALLY GENERATED MALICIOUS DOMAINcscpconf
In recent years, many malware writers have relied on Dynamic Domain Name Services (DDNS) to maintain their Command and Control (C&C) network infrastructure to ensure a persistence presence on a compromised host. Amongst the various DDNS techniques, Domain Generation Algorithm (DGA) is often perceived as the most difficult to detect using traditional methods. This paper presents an approach for detecting DGA using frequency analysis of the character distribution and the weighted scores of the domain names. The approach’s feasibility is demonstrated using a range of legitimate domains and a number of malicious algorithmicallygenerated domain names. Findings from this study show that domain names made up of English characters “a-z” achieving a weighted score of < 45 are often associated with DGA. When a weighted score of < 45 is applied to the Alexa one million list of domain names, only 15% of the domain names were treated as non-human generated.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. 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.

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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

42. Describe and provide an example for each of the types of authentication mechanisms.
ANSWER: There are three types of authentication mechanisms:
- Something a person knows (for example, passwords and passphrases)
- Something a person has (such as cryptographic tokens and smart cards)
- Something a person produces (such as voice and signature pattern recognition, fingerprints, palm prints, hand
topography, hand geometry, and retina and iris scans)
43. Briefly describe how biometric technologies are generally evaluated.
ANSWER: Biometric technologies are generally evaluated according to three basic criteria:

4. Can the candidate firewall adapt to the growing network in the target organization?
45. List the most common firewall implementation architectures.
ANSWER: Three architectural implementations of firewalls are especially common: single bastion hosts, screened-host
firewalls, and screened-subnet firewalls.
46. What are NAT and PAT? Describe these technologies.
ANSWER: NAT is a method of converting multiple real, routable external IP addresses to special ranges of internal IP
addresses, usually on a one-to-one basis; that is, one external valid address directly maps to one assigned
internal address. A related approach, called port-address translation (PAT), converts a single real, valid,
external IP address to special ranges of internal IP addresses—that is, a one-to-many approach in which one
address is mapped dynamically to a range of internal addresses by adding a unique port number when traffic
leaves the private network and is placed on the public network.
47. There are six recommended best practices for firewall use according to Laura Taylor. List three of them.
ANSWER: All traffic from the trusted network is allowed out.
The firewall device is never accessible directly from the public network.
Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP) data is allowed to pass through the firewall,
but all of it is routed to a well-configured SMTP gateway to filter and route messaging
traffic securely.
All Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) data is denied.
Telnet/terminal emulation access to all internal servers from the public networks is
blocked.
When Web services are offered outside the firewall, HTTP traffic is prevented from
reaching your internal networks via the implementation of some form of proxy access
or DMZ architecture.
48. Describe in basic terms what an IDPS is.
ANSWER: Intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDPSs) work like burglar alarms. When the system detects a
violation—the IT equivalent of an opened or broken window—it activates the alarm. This alarm can be
audible and visible (noise and lights), or it can be a silent alarm that sends a message to a monitoring
company.
49. What is WEP and why is it no longer in favor?
ANSWER: WEP is designed to provide a basic level of security protection to Wi-Fi networks, to prevent unauthorized
access or eavesdropping. However, WEP, like a traditional wired network, does not protect users from each
other; it only protects the network from unauthorized users. In the early 2000s, cryptologists found several
fundamental flaws in WEP, resulting in vulnerabilities that can be exploited to gain access. These
vulnerabilities ultimately led to the replacement of WEP as the industry standard with WPA.
50. What is a packet sniffer and how can it be used for good or nefarious purposes?
ANSWER: A packet sniffer is a network tool that collects and analyzes copies of packets from the network. It can
provide a network administrator with valuable information to help diagnose and resolve networking issues. In
the wrong hands, it can be used to eavesdrop on network traffic.
51. What is asymmetric encryption?
ANSWER: Asymmetric encryption is also known as public key encryption. Whereas symmetric encryption systems use a
single key both to encrypt and decrypt a message, asymmetric encryption uses two different keys. Either key
