VXLAN is a point to point, UDP-based "tunneling" protocol, that enables L2 encapsulation over an L3 "undernet", while also allowing up to 16 million Virtual Networks. One challenge with deploying VXLAN is that by default VXLAN requires multicast support for Broadcast, Unknown and Multi-cast packets. Often this is not possible in customer networks. An alternative approach is to use the Service Node concept where dedicated node(s)/process(es) are responsible for flooding Broadcast, Unknown, and Multicast packets throughout a network.
This removes the need for multi-cast, and greatly simplifies network configuration. However, it does require a scalable, and highly available implementation.
"The Virtual Network over TRILL: Private VLANs in open-source". Thomas Stocki...Yandex
In this talk, Thomas will present Virtual Network over TRILL (VNT), a TRILL-based multi-tenant network architecture for virtualized data center networks. Through the TRILL protocol, this architecture achieves the best of both layers (bridging and routing), thus building a large-scale layer-2 network, while ensuring scalability, efficiency, fault-tolerance and simplified management. This architecture integrates the VNT solution, enabling the creation of large numbers of logical networks or Private VLANs within a virtualized data center.
The complete implementation of our solution is currently deployed and running in the Gandi cloud infrastructure. Gandi plans to release the code for this solution as open source.

Defense in depth: practical steps to securing your data and achieving compliance
Presented by Chris Purrington, the VP Sales Europe at Cohesive Networks
Perimeter-based security approaches have not evolved to meet the modern application-focused enterprise. The weaknesses of the perimeter-based approach are on display in the east/west attacks on Sony, Target, and Home Depot exploits where hackers gained access to the perimeter, then ransacked the internal networks with minimal resistance. What can modern enterprises do? A “defense in depth” approach to security at the network layer. Enterprises must strengthen existing core networking hardware and virtualization layer security with added application security. In data centres, physical network isolation is not practical, and logical segmentation can be very difficult without using evolved networking approaches. As data centers became wholly virtualized and blur the line between data center and private cloud, we can finally add and control logical segmentation at the virtualization layer. This “Application Segmentation” provides the most comprehensive security model available today. You can apply application segmentation defense in depth using Cohesive Networks’ VNS3:turret. VNS3:turret creates a cryptographically unique micro-perimeter around each application topology. This presentation will examine how an defense in depth at the application layer can stop the next Sony attack.

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.

Let’s rethink cloud application security in 2016 - Patrick Kerpan's Secure360 presentation 2016
More vital organization data is living outside of a traditional data center in modern organizations, but why haven’t our security practices changed?
The problem starts with the perimeter-heavy, fortify-the-exterior approach. When it fails to stop cybercrime, it can cost upwards of $100M. By focusing on the application, data, and user as the important security layers organizations can both prevent and mitigate attacks.
Application layer network security can improve network performance, security and add control over applications. Software-defined networking (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV) have all but eliminated the cost and complexity of adding security at every level.
Organizations can best control all data and network traffic by using secure, encrypted switches at every layer within a network. Monitored access, encryption, and application-specific firewall rules can all but eliminate malicious “east/west” movement inside a network. Learn how upcoming security compliance regulations – like NIST, PCI, and the EU banking standards – are focusing in on security requirements at all layers. 2016 will be a game-changing year for application security.

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.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
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
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).
