0 likes•116 views
Addressing web server vulnerabilities is key to application security. Consider the impact the Apache Struts vulnerability had on organizations that ignored it and it suddenly becomes clear that responding quickly to Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE’s) is part of an effective appsec security posture. Real world business conditions are not always conducive to patching software in a timely manner. An automated method of identifying and triaging CVEs from qualification to virtual patches can be achieved with a robust process for staying on top of the latest CVE related vulnerabilities.

Mobile Application Security Threats through the Eyes of the Attacker
As an active security researcher with immense professional expertise in application security, Jason Haddix joins us to explain the common attack vectors that face today’s mobile applications -- from a hacker’s perspective.
Elizabeth Lawler - Devops, security, and compliance working in unison
The document discusses improving security, compliance, and risk management through a DevSecOps approach. It outlines steps such as mapping compliance controls to infrastructure components, categorizing risks, describing controls and mitigations, testing controls, and communicating controls to stakeholders. Automating compliance checks and integrating security practices into development workflows are presented as ways to improve security, compliance, and speed of delivery simultaneously.
BeyondCorp New York Meetup: Closing the Adherence Gap
BeyondCorp is Google's approach to access management that eliminates the need for a VPN. It is based on zero-trust principles where access is granted based on who the user is and what device they are using rather than which network they connect from. Google implemented dynamic access policies that consider user identity, device security properties, and request context to determine access in real-time. The key aspects of BeyondCorp include redefining corporate identity as the user and device, making access decisions based on their current attributes and state, removing trust from networks by centralizing access controls, and issuing short-lived credentials to authenticate users and devices securely. The document provides guidance on starting with BeyondCorp by taking inventories, defining access use cases as job stories

Guy Podjarmy - Secure Node Code
This document discusses securing open source software and dependencies. It notes that open source usage and the number of npm packages have exploded, but open source software is not inherently secure or insecure. It warns that vulnerabilities in widely used open source projects like Heartbleed, Shellshock, and Logjam have impacted many users. Approximately 30% of Docker images contain known vulnerabilities. Similarly, around 14% of npm packages have known vulnerabilities that have been found in users' applications. It encourages finding, fixing, and preventing vulnerabilities in open source dependencies to help secure applications.
Web security: concepts and tools used by attackers
Web security is important because there are over 2.7 billion internet users whose privacy must be protected in order to maintain trust. Web attacks occur prominently every week. Security is difficult because software is complex, the web was not designed to be secure, and casual users are often oblivious to security risks. Developers must consider security throughout the entire lifecycle of software and avoid writing their own security controls which can lead to vulnerabilities. Various tools like WebGoat, THC-Hydra, webscarab, Nessus, w3af, and xsssniper can be used to automate attacks and help developers understand common vulnerabilities.
Solnet dev secops meetup
DevSecOps aims to integrate security practices into DevOps workflows to deliver value faster and safer. It addresses challenges like keeping security practices aligned with continuous delivery models and empowered DevOps teams. DevSecOps incorporates security checks and tools into development pipelines to find and fix issues early. This helps prevent breaches like the 2017 Equifax hack, which exploited a known vulnerability. DevSecOps promotes a culture of collaboration, shared responsibility, and proactive security monitoring throughout the software development lifecycle.
PLNOG23 - Paweł Rzepa - Attacking AWS: the full cyber kill chain
W dzisiejszych czasach powszechną praktyką jest przeprowadzanie okresowych testów bezpieczeństwa lokalnej sieci, jednakże rzadko kiedy właściciele firm decydują się na podobne testy ich środowisk chmurowych. Musimy zrozumieć nowe zagrożenia i ryzyka, które pojawiły się wraz z usługami chmurowymi oraz jak powinniśmy zmienić nasze podejście do ich testowania. Celem mojej prezentacji jest pokazanie konieczności testowania środowiska chmurowego oraz jak bardzo różni się ono od testów środowiska opartego o klasyczną architekturę. W formie dema przedstawię przykładowy atak na firmę wykorzystującą usługi AWS. Wykorzystując podatność w aplikacji webowej, a następnie szereg drobnych zaniedbań w konfiguracji AWS, pokażę jak potencjalny atakujący może krok po kroku przejąć rolę administratora AWS, a następnie usunąć wszystkie dowody swojej aktywności.

Reducing Risk of Credential Compromise at Netflix
Building a secure system is like constructing a good pizza – each individual layer adds flavor that ultimately builds to the perfect bite. At Netflix we have hand-crafted ingredients that by themselves are scrumptious, but when placed together strategically on the crust (read: cloud), constructs a pizza so large that any pizza lover (read: attacker) would be challenged to finish.
Attendees will learn the secret to the sauce that is Netflix Infrastructure Security and how even defensive appsec tooling like Signal Sciences can be used in the mix to be better equipped to start baking pizza in their own kitchen, and leave satisfied.

Owasp Mobile Top 10 - M7 & M8
M7 discusses client side injection vulnerabilities like SQL injection, XSS, and local file injection. M8 discusses security decisions made via untrusted inputs like cookies, URLs, and intents. These can allow privilege escalation, data exfiltration, and consuming paid resources. Prevention includes input validation, prepared statements, and disabling unnecessary capabilities. Abusing URL schemes on iOS and intents on Android can launch apps or actions without permission by spoofing requests. Checking permissions and user authorization at input boundaries helps prevent these attacks.
Activated Charcoal - Making Sense of Endpoint Data
Recorded Webcast: https://logrhythm.com/resources/webcasts/activated-charcoal-making-sense-of-endpoint-data/
Security operations is all about understanding and acting upon of large amounts of data. When you can pull data from multiple sources, condense it down and correlate across systems, you can highlight trends, find flaws and resolve issues.
This Presentation was given at Black Hat 2016 and, recently, an SC Magazine Webcast, covering the importance of monitoring endpoints and how to leverage endpoint data to detect, respond and neutralize advanced threats.
Reducing Your Attack Surface & Your Role in Cloud Workload Protection
- Understanding your attack surface is critical to deploying the right security controls. The attack surface in cloud environments differs significantly from on-premises environments.
- Web application attacks are now the leading cause of data breaches. However, less than 5% of data center security budgets are spent on application security.
- Common cloud misconfigurations expose organizations to attacks. The most frequent misconfigurations relate to EC2 instances, S3 object storage, and IAM user policies.

BeyondCorp: Closing the Adherence Gap
BeyondCorp is Google's zero trust architecture that allows employees to work from untrusted networks without using a VPN. It automates good security practices by making access decisions based on who the user is, what device they're on, and other dynamic factors. This eliminates issues like shared credentials and unpatched devices accessing resources. The key aspects of BeyondCorp are removing network trust, using short-lived credentials, and centralizing authentication and authorization based on real-time trust evaluations of users and their devices. The presentation provides recommendations for organizations to implement their own zero trust architecture, such as taking an inventory, understanding use cases, defining policy frameworks, and starting with simple access controls before getting more granular.
Owasp Top 10 (M-10 : Lack of Binary Protection) | Null Meet
M-10 discusses the lack of binary protection in mobile applications. It can allow attackers to reverse engineer apps to steal intellectual property, inject malicious code, or bypass security controls. Detection involves checking if an app's binary can be reversed or modified using tools like dex2jar or Clutch. This can lead to piracy, data theft, unauthorized access, and revenue loss. Prevention involves implementing controls like root detection, checksums, and certificate pinning, while also protecting that code from reverse engineering and modification.
Android Application Penetration Testing - Mohammed Adam
Android Penetration Testing is a process of testing and finding security issues in an android application.

Dev secops on the offense automating amazon web services account takeover
This document discusses how automation can be used to take over Amazon Web Services (AWS) accounts by abusing permissions. It describes how modules have been created to automate actions like creating administrative IAM users, launching EC2 instances, and locking out other accounts. The presentation demonstrates how these modules could be used by an attacker to escalate privileges within an AWS account and eventually take it over if the permissions are not restricted properly. It emphasizes the importance of following security best practices like least privilege when working with AWS.
SPI Dynamics web application security 101
Web applications are vulnerable to attacks at the application layer, with over 70% of attacks targeting websites and web applications directly. Traditional network and system security tools do not adequately assess vulnerabilities in custom web applications. SPI Dynamics develops automated web application security products that contain expert security knowledge to comprehensively scan websites and web applications, simulating how a hacker would attack. Their flagship product, WebInspect, automatically crawls an entire website and tests for vulnerabilities, providing an easy to understand report of issues found.
How an Attacker "Audits" Your Software Systems
Software runs today’s business; however, security implications are often misunderstood, creating significant organizational risk. Poorly configured servers, 3rd-party software, and continuous release cycles put additional pressure on already stressed teams.
Hackers no longer just exploit vulnerabilities in code -- faulty cloud deployments, weak database structures, and business logic problems are also easy targets for attackers. To reduce risk, you’ve got to audit your system in the same way an attacker would.
This presentation demonstrates how attackers compromise the modern enterprise. For each attack demonstrated, mitigation practices will be discussed. WARNING: software will be harmed during this presentation. Viewer discretion advised.
Building Security Controls around Attack Models
This document discusses building security controls around attack models to enable continuous validation of defenses. It recommends modeling real attack techniques to automatically test each security control as assets are deployed. An example attack on Target is described across stages of initial breach, privilege escalation, access to data stores, and exfiltration. Metrics like detection time and prevention effectiveness are suggested to measure security control performance. Implementing controls informed by relevant attack models is advocated to minimize organizational risk through a data-driven, continuous validation approach.

It covers several security countermeasures and their effectiveness, including SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and virtual keyboards. Regarding SQL injection, the document states that prevention is relatively easy through parameterized queries and developers are winning the battle for eradication. For XSS, the document argues the risk is being lost unless the root cause of mixing code and data is addressed, which is difficult without protocol changes. Virtual keyboards are deemed an obsolete solution that fails to mitigate current threats and gives a false sense of security. The rise of social media also poses new security challenges.

Modernizing on IBM Z Made Easier With Open Source Software
In the past decade, IDC has seen IBM Z evolve first from a siloed platform to what they call a "connected" platform, and then to a "transformative" platform. This transition has been driven by IBM, by the IBM Z software vendors, like Rocket Software, and by businesses themselves.
IDC research shows that businesses that choose to modernize IBM Z achieve higher satisfaction than re-platformers and many are using open source software (OSS) in their modernization initiatives. Employing OSS makes it possible to crack the platform open and enable it to connect to the rest of the datacenter and the outside world. Join IDC guest speaker, Al Gillen and Peter Fandel as they take a deeper look at the value proposition associated with using commercially supported OSS in mission-critical environments, like IBM Z. In this webinar we’ll discuss:
How OSS can neutralize the disparity between seasoned IBM Z and emerging developers

Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their Mainframe
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.
