Automation of Information (Cyber) Security by Joe HessmillerJoe Hessmiller
The focus is on physical and logical security vulnerabilities. Yes, locks and malware sandboxes are important. BUT, the biggest potential risk comes from inside. From the people who can - intentionally or unintentionally - expose the organization to the greatest risks. This presentation is about automating the process to control those risks.
Comprehensive risk management for a cyber secure organizationJoe Hessmiller
This document discusses the need for comprehensive risk management and automation for cyber security. It makes three key points:
1. Security is a process that requires monitoring across physical, technical and administrative controls to be effective. Comprehensive monitoring of vulnerabilities and threats is needed.
2. Automation is key to continuously monitoring for vulnerabilities and threats, and to modifying security behaviors through persistent enforcement and reinforcement of practices.
3. An effective approach is to automate information security "ensurance" through a system that incorporates both technical ("hard") data from security systems and human ("soft") feedback to provide comprehensive security assessment and reinforcement of policies to change behaviors.

The document discusses supply chain risk management (SCRM) and outlines its goals of ensuring sourced hardware and software products are functional and secure. SCRM encompasses five categories of risk related to malicious or counterfeit components, production disruptions, unqualified suppliers, and vulnerabilities. The key outcome of SCRM is guaranteeing products only do their intended functions. SCRM is implemented through security controls and a formal process to analyze and prioritize risks through defense in depth. The aim of SCRM is to fully understand risks when making sourcing decisions.

The document discusses the need for a new information security paradigm as the nature of information flows changes. It outlines some of the key risks like cyber threats, compliance issues, and business transformation challenges. It then discusses how new technologies like cloud, mobile, BYOD and social media require a systemic rather than technical approach. The new paradigm involves information security participating more in innovation, adopting a proactive risk management strategy, and collaborating with business units. The role shifts from saying no to helping business achieve objectives while managing emerging information risks.

The document summarizes the development of a mobile analytics application by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority of Australia (CASA) to provide critical safety information to inspectors in the field. Key points:
1) CASA identified a need for inspectors to access all relevant information about aircraft, operators, and permissions during inspections, which was delayed by lack of a consolidated view.
2) An agile development process was used to quickly build a minimum viable product accessing CASA's data warehouse through mobile devices.
3) After an initial 2-week iteration, the tool provided inspectors access to 90% of needed information instantly, saving an estimated $2 million annually in inefficiencies.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
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.
