The leading cause of data breaches in the cloud aren’t application or OS vulnerabilities--it’s cloud misconfiguration, which are almost always due to customer error. Unfortunately, these mistakes are easy to make and extraordinarily common in enterprise cloud environments. We’ve moved beyond simple “misconfigured S3 bucket” incidents and into more advanced attacks that exploit a series of common cloud misconfiguration vulnerabilities--many of which are often missed or not even categorized as misconfigurations by security teams.

New microsoft application security problemJohn Davis
A zero-day attack on Microsoft XP has been discovered, emphasising the need for businesses to be using the latest software to prevent data loss. http://www.storetec.net/news-blog/new-microsoft-application-security-problem.
Whether you’re loyal to Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, or whether you opt for one of the the dozens of other web browsers available to download and use for free out there (such as Google Chrome, Opera, Mozilla’s Firefox or Mac Safari), you are probably using your preferred browser to access both personal and professional websites. These wondrous tools that are part of our daily (digital) lives can now replace other existing software thanks to something called an extension.
Gone are the days of tossing a build over the wall and hoping that it works in production. Now development and operations are joined together as one in DevOps. DevOps accelerates the velocity with which products are deployed to customers. However, the catch with DevOps is that it moves fast, and security must move faster to keep up and make an impact. When products were built under the waterfall process, the release cycle was measured in years, so security process could take almost as long as it wanted. Face it, DevOps is here to stay, and it is not getting any slower. Application security must speed up to keep pace with the speed of business. Security automation is king under DevOps.

More importantly, provides some guidance to start protecting your business in the Cloud!
Regardless of whether your data resides on-premises, in the cloud, or a combination of both, you are vulnerable to security threats, data breaches, data loss, and more. Security is often cited as a concern for organizations who are migrating to the public cloud, but the belief that the public cloud is not secure is a myth.
In fact, the leading public cloud service providers have built rigorous security capabilities to ensure that your applications, assets, and services are protected. Security in the public cloud is now becoming a driver for many organizations, but in a rapidly evolving multicloud environment, you must keep up with changes that might impact your security posture.
This eBook outlines the three core recommendations for cloud security across Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform
Breaking Secure Mobile Applications - Hack In The Box 2014 KLiphonepentest
Dominic Chell presents "Breaking Secure Mobile Applications" at Hack In The Box 2014.
This presentation details common vulnerabilities that can be found in supposedly secure applications, including BYOD and MDM apps. It also provides an overview of the binary protections that can be implemented to complicate these types of attacks.
The transition to cloud services provides many advantages to the organization, including scalability, flexibility, efficiency, reducing cost and enjoying an enterprise grade level of security that meets the highest standards. However, cloud services also entail various risks that the organization must recognize and mitigate before the transition to the cloud.

The Ultimate Guide for Cloud Penetration Testing. Cloud penetration testing is an artificial attack that is launched by a known ethical hacker in the disguise of a potential hacker just to check the number of vulnerabilities, threats, and loopholes in a particular cloud provider that can sincerely pass on any backdoor access to the real-time hackers and weaken the security posture of the organization.
Chaos engineering for cloud native securityKennedy
Human errors and misconfiguration-based vulnerabilities have become a major cause of data breaches and other forms of security attacks in cloud-native infrastructure (CNI). The dynamic and complex nature of CNI and the underlying distributed systems further complicate these challenges. Hence, novel security mechanisms are imperative to overcome these challenges. Such mechanisms must be customer-centric, continuous, not focused on traditional security paradigms like intrusion detection. We tackle these security challenges via Risk-driven Fault Injection (RDFI), a novel application of cyber security to chaos engineering. Chaos engineering concepts (e.g. Netflix’s Chaos Monkey) have become popular since they increase confidence in distributed systems by injecting non-malicious faults (essentially addressing availability concerns) via experimentation techniques. RDFI goes further by adopting security-focused approaches by injecting security faults that trigger security failures which impact on integrity, confidentiality, and availability. Safety measures are also employed such that impacted environments can be reversed to secure states. Therefore, RDFI improves security and resilience drastically, in a continuous and efficient manner and extends the benefts of chaos engineering to cyber security. We have researched and implemented a proof-of-concept for RDFI that targets multi-cloud enterprise environments deployed on AWS and Google cloud platform.

Understanding Globus Data Transfers with NetSageGlobus
NetSage is an open privacy-aware network measurement, analysis, and visualization service designed to help end-users visualize and reason about large data transfers. NetSage traditionally has used a combination of passive measurements, including SNMP and flow data, as well as active measurements, mainly perfSONAR, to provide longitudinal network performance data visualization. It has been deployed by dozens of networks world wide, and is supported domestically by the Engagement and Performance Operations Center (EPOC), NSF #2328479. We have recently expanded the NetSage data sources to include logs for Globus data transfers, following the same privacy-preserving approach as for Flow data. Using the logs for the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) as an example, this talk will walk through several different example use cases that NetSage can answer, including: Who is using Globus to share data with my institution, and what kind of performance are they able to achieve? How many transfers has Globus supported for us? Which sites are we sharing the most data with, and how is that changing over time? How is my site using Globus to move data internally, and what kind of performance do we see for those transfers? What percentage of data transfers at my institution used Globus, and how did the overall data transfer performance compare to the Globus users?

Globus Compute wth IRI Workflows - GlobusWorld 2024Globus
As part of the DOE Integrated Research Infrastructure (IRI) program, NERSC at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and ALCF at Argonne National Lab are working closely with General Atomics on accelerating the computing requirements of the DIII-D experiment. As part of the work the team is investigating ways to speedup the time to solution for many different parts of the DIII-D workflow including how they run jobs on HPC systems. One of these routes is looking at Globus Compute as a way to replace the current method for managing tasks and we describe a brief proof of concept showing how Globus Compute could help to schedule jobs and be a tool to connect compute at different facilities.

Providing Globus Services to Users of JASMIN for Environmental Data AnalysisGlobus
JASMIN is the UK’s high-performance data analysis platform for environmental science, operated by STFC on behalf of the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). In addition to its role in hosting the CEDA Archive (NERC’s long-term repository for climate, atmospheric science & Earth observation data in the UK), JASMIN provides a collaborative platform to a community of around 2,000 scientists in the UK and beyond, providing nearly 400 environmental science projects with working space, compute resources and tools to facilitate their work. High-performance data transfer into and out of JASMIN has always been a key feature, with many scientists bringing model outputs from supercomputers elsewhere in the UK, to analyse against observational or other model data in the CEDA Archive. A growing number of JASMIN users are now realising the benefits of using the Globus service to provide reliable and efficient data movement and other tasks in this and other contexts. Further use cases involve long-distance (intercontinental) transfers to and from JASMIN, and collecting results from a mobile atmospheric radar system, pushing data to JASMIN via a lightweight Globus deployment. We provide details of how Globus fits into our current infrastructure, our experience of the recent migration to GCSv5.4, and of our interest in developing use of the wider ecosystem of Globus services for the benefit of our user community.

How to Position Your Globus Data Portal for Success Ten Good PracticesGlobus
Science gateways allow science and engineering communities to access shared data, software, computing services, and instruments. Science gateways have gained a lot of traction in the last twenty years, as evidenced by projects such as the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) and the Center of Excellence on Science Gateways (SGX3) in the US, The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) and its platforms in Australia, and the projects around Virtual Research Environments in Europe. A few mature frameworks have evolved with their different strengths and foci and have been taken up by a larger community such as the Globus Data Portal, Hubzero, Tapis, and Galaxy. However, even when gateways are built on successful frameworks, they continue to face the challenges of ongoing maintenance costs and how to meet the ever-expanding needs of the community they serve with enhanced features. It is not uncommon that gateways with compelling use cases are nonetheless unable to get past the prototype phase and become a full production service, or if they do, they don't survive more than a couple of years. While there is no guaranteed pathway to success, it seems likely that for any gateway there is a need for a strong community and/or solid funding streams to create and sustain its success. With over twenty years of examples to draw from, this presentation goes into detail for ten factors common to successful and enduring gateways that effectively serve as best practices for any new or developing gateway.
Climate Science Flows: Enabling Petabyte-Scale Climate Analysis with the Eart...Globus
The Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) is a global network of data servers that archives and distributes the planet’s largest collection of Earth system model output for thousands of climate and environmental scientists worldwide. Many of these petabyte-scale data archives are located in proximity to large high-performance computing (HPC) or cloud computing resources, but the primary workflow for data users consists of transferring data, and applying computations on a different system. As a part of the ESGF 2.0 US project (funded by the United States Department of Energy Office of Science), we developed pre-defined data workflows, which can be run on-demand, capable of applying many data reduction and data analysis to the large ESGF data archives, transferring only the resultant analysis (ex. visualizations, smaller data files). In this talk, we will showcase a few of these workflows, highlighting how Globus Flows can be used for petabyte-scale climate analysis.

First Steps with Globus Compute Multi-User EndpointsGlobus
In this presentation we will share our experiences around getting started with the Globus Compute multi-user endpoint. Working with the Pharmacology group at the University of Auckland, we have previously written an application using Globus Compute that can offload computationally expensive steps in the researcher's workflows, which they wish to manage from their familiar Windows environments, onto the NeSI (New Zealand eScience Infrastructure) cluster. Some of the challenges we have encountered were that each researcher had to set up and manage their own single-user globus compute endpoint and that the workloads had varying resource requirements (CPUs, memory and wall time) between different runs. We hope that the multi-user endpoint will help to address these challenges and share an update on our progress here.

(especially EC2 instances and S3 buckets)
• “Orphaned” resources are common and can contain misconfigurations and unpatched
OS or application vulnerabilities
5. Include cloud misconfiguration in penetration testing
• Use outside pen testers who understand cloud misconfiguration and how to exploit it
6. Use automated remediation for security-critical cloud resources
• Focus first on VPCs, S3 buckets, Security Groups, EC2, and IAM)
7. Use an open source policy as code framework for validating compliance
• Open Policy Agent and Rego policy language
