Top Strategies to Capture Security Intelligence for ApplicationsDenim Group
Security professionals have years of experience logging and tracking network security events to identify unauthorized or malicious activity on a corporate network. Unfortunately, many of today's attacks are focused on the application layer, where the fidelity of logging for security events is less robust. Most application logs are typically used to see errors and failures and the internal state of the system, not events that might be interesting from a security perspective. Security practitioners are concerned with understanding patterns of user behavior and, in the event of an attack, being able to see an entire user’s session. How are application events different from network events? What type of information should security practitioners ensure software developers log for event analysis? What are the types of technologies that enable application-level logging and analysis? In this presentation, John Dickson will discuss what should be present in application logs to help understand threats and attacks, and better guard against them.
Vulnerability Management In An Application Security WorldDenim Group
Identifying application-level vulnerabilities via penetration tests and code reviews is only the first step in actually addressing the underlying risk. Managing vulnerabilities for applications is more challenging than dealing with traditional infrastructure-level vulnerabilities because they typically require the coordination of security teams with application development teams and require security managers to secure time from developers during already-cramped development and release schedules. In addition, fixes require changes to custom application code and application-specific business logic rather than the patches and configuration changes that are often sufficient to address infrastructure-level vulnerabilities.
This presentation details many of the pitfalls organizations encounter while trying to manage application-level vulnerabilities as well as outlines strategies security teams can use for communicating with development teams. Similarities and differences between security teams’ practice of vulnerability management and development teams’ practice of defect management will be addressed in order to facilitate healthy communication between these groups.

Topic: The Permanent Campaign: Driving a Secure Software Initiative in the Enterprise
This presentation focuses on how security officers or development leaders can apply a disciplined approach to building internal consensus to build secure software. A five-step process will be laid out that will enable a manager to characterize the landscape, secure management buy-in, baseline the existing risks, set modest goals and attempt to achieve them, and sustain the initiative. Emphasis will be on actionable steps that successful managers have used to drive the adoption of secure software strategies in large organizations.
This presentation will take a high level look at the malware life cycle and the role that both hackers and IT professionals play in it. It should be interesting to IT professionals as well as individuals interested in learning more about the general approach used by hackers to gain unauthorized access to systems, applications, and sensitive data.

The Need For Open Software Security Standards In A Mobile And Cloudy WorldDenim Group
The security landscape is changing and the security industry must adapt to stay relevant. The economic and scale benefits of the cloud are causing organizations to move sensitive business processes and data outside of the safety of the corporate environment. New business models and other opportunities to create value through innovation are moving sensitive data and code onto untrusted mobile devices. Organizations are going to adopt these new cloud and mobile technologies and information security practitioners will be forced to evolve current models for risk management and mitigation. This presentation discusses the need for open software security standards to support this evolution. Being required to trust cloud service providers leads to a need for increased visibility into the software security practices of those providers. In addition, reliance on these providers’ software as well as the requirement to place software in untrusted environments such as mobile devices creates a demand for better standards for evaluating the security state of complicated systems. Many previous efforts have been focused on proprietary models that failed to provide sufficient insight or on models that lacked a level of technical rigor required to provide assurance. The solutions to these issues are open standards that are based on the real risks organizations encounter when adopting cloud and mobile technologies and the presentation outlines potential paths forward that can provide risk managers with the assurances they need while also freeing up businesses to intelligently consume emerging technologies.

How is Your AppSec Program Doing Compared to OthersDenim Group
Organizations that build software and worry about security continually are asking, "How do we stack up to others?"
If you are starting or inheriting an application security program that is underway, you're probably curious how your organization stacks up against others. Are you doing the right set of application testing activities? Are you training your developers to write more secure code in the most efficient manner? Does your SDLC need a review to determine whether security activities need to be included throughout?
A popular framework for benchmarking an organization’s software security activities is called the Open Software Assurance Maturity Model (OpenSAMM) developed and published by the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP).

Benchmarking Web Application Scanners for YOUR OrganizationDenim Group
Web applications pose significant risks for organizations. The selection of an appropriate scanning product or service can be challenging because every organization develops their web applications differently and decisions made by developers can cause wide swings in the value of different scanning technologies. To make a solid, informed decision, organizations need to create development team- and organization-specific benchmarks for the effectiveness of potential scanning technologies. This involves creating a comprehensive model of false positives, false negatives and other factors prior to mandating analysis technologies and making decisions about application risk management. This presentation provides a model for evaluating application analysis technologies, introduces an open source tool for benchmarking and comparing tool effectiveness, and outlines a process for making organization-specific decisions about analysis technology selection.
Application Security Program Management with Vulnerability ManagerDenim Group
Using free Java-based software, application security managers can now have increased visibility into and control of enterprise security programs as well as the data that can be used to support sophisticated conversations with their managers and executives. Denim Group's Vulnerability Manager works through a centralized system to allow security teams to import and consolidate application-level vulnerabilities, automatically generate virtual patches, monitor attack attempts, communicate with defect tracking systems, and evaluate team maturity. Vulnerability Manager is a Java-based web application available for free under the Mozilla Public License.
This demonstration will cover the major functional areas of the Vulnerability Manager: • Application portfolio management – Creating a portfolio of application under management and tracking critical information about those applications such as associated technologies and sensitivity of data under management. • Vulnerability import and merging – Importing results of both static and dynamic scans of code, de-duplicating results and merging the output from multiple tools into a unified view of the security state of an application. • Automated virtual patch generation – Automatically creating IDS/IPS and WAF rules to provide real-time protection for certain classes of vulnerabilities as well as consuming log results from WAF/IDS/IPS in order to identify which vulnerabilities are under active attack. • Defect tracker integration – Bundling multiple vulnerabilities into packages, sending them to software defect tracking systems, and monitoring the defects to identify when software developers have closed them out. • Team maturity evaluation – Tracking interviews with development teams related to the security practices they have adopted based on maturity models such as OpenSAMM.
In addition, the presentation will explain the internals of the Vulnerability Manager software – the design decisions made as well as opportunities to extend the system to support additional technologies.
The state of web applications (in)security @ ITDays 2016Tudor Damian
The global security landscape is changing, now more than ever. With cloud computing gaining momentum and advanced persistent threats becoming a common occurrence, the industry is taking a more focused and serious approach, especially after some of last years' heavily publicized cyber breaches. Join this session for a high-level overview on the industry trends in the area of web application security, and find out why security is bound to become a hot topic in any organization developing or using web applications.
Skeletons in the Closet: Securing Inherited ApplicationsDenim Group
Many security officers worry less about the security of new applications being built and more about the security of hundreds of applications they inherited. What applications represent the biggest risk? What attributes make them more or less risky? What are the most cost-effective courses of action given budget constraints in today’s business environment? This interactive workshop will help participants understand how to attack this problem and create a risk-based approach to managing the security of an existing application portfolio using tools like the OWASP ASVS model. The session will decompose an example application to determine how to conduct a bottom-up risk profile for future risk comparison against other applications. The audience will also participate in an exercise comparing different applications to better understand the ranking process. The audience will leave with a framework, action plan and basic understanding of the risk-ranking process that they can immediately apply to their work environment.

Most of the money thrown at securing information systems misses the weak spots. Huge amounts are spent securing infrastructure while web applications are left exposed. It is a crisis that is largely ignored.
Software development teams, under pressure to deliver features and meet deadlines, often respond to concerns about the security of their web applications by commissioning a last-minute security assessment and then desperately attempt to address only the most glaring findings. They may even simply throw up a web application firewall to mitigate the threats. Such bolted-on solutions are not long-term answers to web application security.
Instead, we advocate a built-in approach. We will show that by weaving security into the software development life cycle, and using mature resources for security coding standards, toolkits and frameworks such as those from OWASP, development teams can consistently produce secure systems without dramatically increasing the development effort or cost.

In the ever-evolving, fast-paced Agile development world, application security has not scaled well. Incorporating application security and testing into the current development process is difficult, leading to incomplete tooling or unorthodox stoppages due to the required manual security assessments. Development teams are working with a backlog of stories—stories that are typically focused on features and functionality instead of security. Traditionally, security was viewed as a prevention of progress, but there are ways to incorporate security activities without hindering development. There are many types of security activities you can bake into your current development lifecycles—tooling, assessments, stories, scrums, iterative reviews, repo and bug tracking integrations—every organization has a unique solution and there are positives and negatives to each of them. In this slide deck, we go through the various solutions to help build security into the development process.
Some of the most famous information breaches over the past few years have been a result of entry through embedded and IoT system environments. Often these breaches are a result of unexpected system architecture and service connectivity on the network that allows the hacker to enter through an embedded device and make their way to the financial or corporate servers. Experts in embedded security discuss key security issues for embedded systems and how to address them.
Software Security for Project Managers: What Do You Need To Know?Denim Group
Application-level vulnerabilities have been responsible for a number of very public data breaches and are increasingly a target for a variety of types of attackers. This presentation demonstrates some of the security vulnerabilities that are often introduced during software development projects. It also looks at activities that can help identify these vulnerabilities as well as prevent them from being introduced in the first place. Attendees will take away from the presentation an understanding of software security risks as well as where assurance activities can be included in the project plan to help increase the security of software being developed with a minimum of impact to project schedules and budgets.
This presentation offers insight on defining appsec policies, highlighting the differences from InfoSec policy, attributes of effective policy and how to make policies actionable so they map to an organization's overall security and business processes.

Hybrid Analysis Mapping: Making Security and Development Tools Play Nice Toge...Denim Group
Developers want to write code and security testers want to break it and both groups have specialized tools supporting these goals. The problem is – security testers need to know more about application code to do better testing and developers need to be able to quickly address problems found by security testers. This presentation looks at both groups and their respective toolsets and explores ways they can help each other out.
Two different interactions are examined:
• How can knowledge of code make application scanning better?
• How can application scan results be mapped back to specific lines of code?
Using open source examples built on OWASP ZAP, ThreadFix and Eclipse, the presentation walks through the process of seeding web applications scans with knowledge gleaned from code analysis as well as the mapping of dynamic scan results to specific line of code. The end result is a combination of testing and remediation workflows that help both security testers and software developers be more effective. Particular attention is give to Java/JSP applications and Java/Spring applications and how teams using these frameworks can best benefit from these interactions.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Why this Course?
Security is about reducing the impact of unpredictable attacks to an organization.
The response to buggy, insecure software is generally doing nothing or installing a product that is a security
countermeasure for the vulnerability (for example, buying a database security solution) instead of fixing the SQL
injection vulnerability in the code itself.
Through lecture, Hands on Labs, Tools, Certification, Course Material and breakout discussion groups, you
will learn about current threat trends across the Internet and their impact on organizational security. You will also
review standard cyber security terminology and compliance requirements, examine sample exploits, and gain hands-
on experience mitigating controls. In a contained lab environment, you will work with XSS Flaws, Sea Surf (XSRF),
Session Fixation, Cookie Spoofing along with LFI & RFI Techniques.
