Threat Modeling for System Builders and System Breakers - Dan Cornell of Deni...Denim Group
Threat modeling is a valuable technique for identifying potential security issues in complex applications but many teams have been slow to adopt. This presentation looks at Threat Modeling from two perspectives – from that of a system builder trying to avoid introducing security defects into a new system and from that of a system tester trying to identify security issues in an existing system. The materials include discussion of where threat modeling is best done during the development lifecycle as well as the process of creating and refining a threat model.

IoT Security: Debunking the "We Aren't THAT Connected" MythSecurity Innovation
In a world where convenience is key, consumers are adopting every new connected device that hits the shelves - and doing so with the assumption that due diligence security has been considered. But recent IoT attacks suggest otherwise.
As organizations migrate from a primarily offline to online business model, they are failing to consider IoT’s unique threats which traditional solutions are unable to secure. As a result, steps must be taken to ensure that the device, connections and infrastructure are hardened, especially software which runs IoT devices and is the source of ~90% of attacks.
This webinar is ideal for risk, technology, and security professionals that want to understand why a hacker would want to attack their “harmless” IoT device and what the stealth risk to their organization and consumers is.
Topics covered include:
- IoT security – why it’s so different….and tough
- The IoT ecosystem and attack surface
- Managing liability - IoT risks to consumers and vendors
- Auditing IoT software development

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

27. Secure Programming / Education
Disable Cache - Set the autocorrectionType property to
UITextAutocorrectionNo for UITestField
Disable Snapshot – Use applicationWillResignActive
delegate method
Disable Logs – Disable NSLog and NSAssert
Disable Insecure HTTP - Use NSURLConnection along with
canAuthenticateAgainstProtectionSpace
27
28. Encrypt Data
Data Protection API - set the NSFileProtectionKey
on an existing file
Keychain – Apple recommends storing Sensitive
data like passwords and keys in the Keychain
CCCrypt - provides access to AES, DES, 3DES
SQLCipher (IOS & Android) - transparent 256-
bit AES encryption of database files
28
29. Secure Design / Architecture
• Do not trust the client. Store sensitive data on the server
• Perform server side data validation and canonicalization
• Only collect and disclose data which is required for business
use of the application
• Define and deploy secure configuration
• Establish common set of security requirements
• Perform periodic security scans and audits
• Protect sensitive data using HTTPS & SSL
• Do not log credentials, PII and other sensitive data
• Review all third party libraries before use
29
31. Mobile Strategy & Challenges
• The are 3 major components of a mobile
strategy that most organizations have to apply
– Mobile Information Management(MIM)
– Mobile Application Management(MAM)
– Mobile Device Management(MDM)
31
32. MIM
• MIM refers to cloud-based services that syncs
files and documents across different devices
• MIM allows for sharing data of varying security
classification across devices with varying degrees
of trust
• MIM intersects Cloud and Mobile Security
• Public MIM services are Dropbox, Box, Microsoft
SkyDrive, GoogleDrive
• Corporate MIM solutions include
Monodesk, WatchDox, Citrix ShareFile, Vmware
Octopus
• NFC technologies could be classified as MIM 32
33. Security Challenges -MIM
• BYOD in corporate environments
• Potential synching of corporate data across both
corporate and non-corporate issued endpoints
• Sensitive bi-directional data leakage from user’s private
and personal data into corporate and vice-versa
• Access and Identity Management
• Data classification , identification and protection
• Difficult to apply and enforce any corporate security
configurations across mobile devices
• No existing virtual segregation capabilities for
corporate/user components to allow for different
security policies to be applied based on risk
33
34. MDM
• MDM involves downloading software that
allows users/organizations to lock down
• MDM allows controls like
monitoring, encryption, policy enforcement
, remote wiping etc..
• Addresses security at the device level as
opposed to the application level
• Especially challenging in BYOD era
• One policy regardless of varying classification
levels of applications on device
– Policies like remote wiping could adversely affect
user personal /private data
34
35. Security Issues-MDM
• Addresses security of device only
• Has little insight into security health of
applications
• Treats all applications and all data at the same
classification level
• Difficulties in adoption in corporate
environments that allows BYOD
• Does not affect or improve the security of
applications
35
36. MAM
• MAM solutions allow users and organizations
to control the security of specific applications
that are deployed on mobile endpoints
• MAM can allow an organization to deliver
applications like secure
email, calendar, expense reporting
• Allows security policies to be applied
exclusively on specific applications based on
their security classification
– Encryption, remote wipe, remote application kill
etc..
36
37. Security Issues-MAM
• MAM seems to have the answer for MIM’s
security challenges
• MAM should solve the BYOD challenges since it
allows for security policies to be applied to
corporate applications and their data and allows
for non-visibility into personal user information
• MAM solutions have several challenges:
– Rewrite secure versions of vendor
applications(functionality challenges)
– Allow vendors plug into their security platform
– Currently works only an a few apps
– Create a wrapper around vendor applications
(most vendors will not provide original packaged files to
wrap with MAM tools)
37
38. Mobile Security Convergence
MDM
All mobile security
strategies converge
on these
MIM approaches
MAM
Mobile Application Security

Side channel data leakage applies to data leakage via platform defaults, use of third party libraries, logging, etc. In order to provide the visual iOS has been proven to capture and store snapshots.This occurs when a device suspends (rather than terminates), when either the home button is pressed, or a phone call or other event temporarily suspends the applicationPlist is a structured text file that contains essential configuration information for a bundled executable
A PLIST (Property List) file is an XML file that holds application properties. Some applications store sensitive information in the plist files including authentication credentials, PIN and oAUTH tokensPlist files can be found in several location in the application directory . An example location and plist file content storing sensitive authentication credentials are shown on the screen
Web sites and servers sometimes have improperly configured SSL certificates. This causes warning messages which are often ignored by the users. This results in users Phishing attacks where users end up providing personal information and private data to malicious websites that look like legitimate applicationsApplications that fall back or can be forced out of an encrypting mode can also be abused by attackers resulting in insecure communication. This is common on sites that operate on both HTTP and HTTPS services, or by the implementation of older versions of SSL on the web server that are vulnerable to downgrade attacks.
In 2011, it was discovered that Android devices transmitted data and AuthToken session cookie via insecure HTTP. AuthToken is not bound to any session or device and thus would allow an adversary to access any personal data which is made available through the service API. This includes Google calendar, picasa and contact information for that user. For more Reference: http://www.uni-ulm.de/in/mi/mitarbeiter/koenings/catching-authtokens.htmlThe issue here is the use of insecure HTTP channel which allows network eavesdropping of the authToken and user data
InsecureData Storage applies to the locally stored data by the mobile applications. There are two types of mobiles apps - native apps and browser based apps. Native apps are apps that is installed in the handset, processes data locally and may connect to the internet for updates or sending user specific information to the server. Example: Gaming apps, News apps, etc. Browser based apps are apps that are accessible via mobile browser. This vulnerability applies to both categories of apps.Most apps stores user specific information on mobile devices. This data may be stored in clear text and may includeUsername and passwordPII, SSN, Health InformationDevice ID, Application configurationAccount Number, Credit Card, Financial Information
Insecure transport layer protection is considered a high risk security vulnerabilityThe impact could includeLoss of Data Confidentiality & Integrity when sensitive information is revealed to the attackerData Tampering when attacker modifies application traffic and force user accept itMan-in-the-Middle (MITM attack) if an attacker diverts all traffic through an insecure channelImpersonation if the attacker hijacks user account

Disable the auto-correct feature for any sensitive information, not just for password fields. Since the keyboard caches sensitive information, it may be recoverable. For UITextField, look into setting the autocorrectionType property to UITextAutocorrectionNo to disable caching. Set UITextField to OFF to prevent caching altogetherAdd an enterprise policy to clear the keyboard dictionary at regular intervals. This can be done by the end user by simply going to the Settings application, General > Reset > Reset Keyboard Dictionary
