Creating a digital toolkit for users: How to teach our users how to limit the...Justin Denton
Ever wonder what you should or shouldn’t share on the internet? Do you see users who are posting everything thing they possibly could on the internet and wonder how to help educate them to protect themselves?
All of this collective sharing, creates a data gold mine for hackers to do their evil bidding. In this session we will talk about what to post on the internet and what not too. We will also look into what hackers can use from the information you’ve posted on the internet and how they can use it to gain access to your and your users personal lives, accounts, credit cards, and more. During this session, we’ll dive into building a strategy plan to help limit and hopefully eliminate these references from your digital footprint to help ensure you are more secure than you were when you first started this session.
By the end of this webinar, attendees will have a virtual toolkit and strategies to help educate users on protecting themselves while online.

A HillyBilly's Guide to Staying Anonymous Online - SecureWVAdam Compton
Online Privacy… I would imagine that most everyone has something they would not like to have shared with the entire Internet. For some, this may be because of their job; for others it is so they can hide from their previous life. Still others may do it as a way to limit their exposure to attack. During this talk we will discuss techniques of how to hide your personal data from the Internet by the creation of alternate online identities (a.k.a. Sock puppets).
It’s an online world. Most adults, and even teens, need to have online accounts for banking, shopping, communications, entertainment and social networks. Even many children have online lives.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message

3. A Whole New World
• Smartphones, Tablets
and Phablets
• Mobile will overtake
desktop in 2015
• BYOD trend
4. … Same Sandbox
• You leave a “digital footprint”
everywhere you go
• Most smartphones have
services enabled that you
don’t know about
• 50% of enterprises have had a
mobile data security breach
7. Becoming a safe netizen
• Mobility is awesome
• ignorant < you < paranoid
• Be informed and you don’t
have to fear
• Mobile power requires
responsibility
8. Not all devices are equal
• Each OS has different security goals
• Apps have different screening
processes
• Apple i-devices
• Android
• Blackberry
• Windows Mobile
• Symbian/Palm/Others?
• Which is better?
9.
10. Safety goals:
• Not losing your device, duh
• Prevent identify theft
• Prevent loss of passwords and dignity
• Prevent family and friends from suffering
the same fate…
• On their own accord, or…
• Because you gave it to them
11. Apps and Tweets and Phreaks, oh my!
• Lots of things can get’cha, but…
• That’s no different than swimming in
the ocean. You just need to know
places to avoid sharks and other
baddies.
• Use common sense.
12. Three categories of “bad stuff:”
•Email and communication threats
•Malware
•Phishing
13. Email:
• Viruses can be spread through email
• Usually Attachments
• Usually only affect desktops
(this will change over time)
• You don’t want the virus (or to spread it)
• Best course of action:
• Don’t open email from unknown/weird
addresses
• Don’t open email attachments you were
not expecting
14. SMS and MMC:
• Generally pretty harmless
• Sometimes contain links to websites that look
weird. E.g. hax0r.me/pinkbunnies
• The age of spam and sms attacks
will come
• Thumb and others are ok
• Best course of action:
• Don’t click links from unknown/weird addresses
• Don’t click links you were not expecting
15. WiFi Vulnerability:
• Do you hotspot? Do you know if your phone
CAN hotspot?
• Some smartphones let you configure a
hotspot with no password.
• Best course of action:
• Know if your phone supports it
• Disable it if you aren’t using it
• Disable wifi when you are not home
16. Bluetooth Vulnerability:
• Unconfigured services are sometimes active
by default
• A skilled hacker can connect to
open bluetooth services and take
control of your smartphone
• Best course of action:
• Disable bluetooth if you aren’t
using it
• Learn how to disable services you are not
using
17. Malware:
• “My friend Mike’s Android phone had been
acting strangely for awhile. In the middle of
the night, the phone would come alive. It
would meander down various menu paths,
send texts that were gibberish and start
playing poker. Was it bug in the operating
system? Or had Mike been hacked?”
- Forbes (link at end)
18. Malware:
• “how come my phone|tablet|uber device is
going so slow all of a sudden?”
• Not all mobile apps are by quality (ahem…
‘moral’) developers
• Some apps can install “spyware” which reads
your personal info, runs keystroke loggers, or
create popups.
19. Malware (cont…):
• Beware of apps that request your personal
information, or that install new services
• Read reviews and ratings before just
downloading apps
• Android more
susceptible than iOS
20. Phishing:
• They are the ‘fishermen’ and you are the ‘fish’
• Smart scammers who want to trick you into
giving up personal information like:
• Bank account info
• Usernames/passwords
to websites
21. Phishing (cont…):
• Obviousness
• If its too good to be true,
it probably is.
• You do not have a rich distant
uncle in Botswana that left
you $20M
• If you did, why would you
have to pay a fee to get it?
22. Phishing (cont…):
• Social Media
• Emails meant to look
like Facebook or
twitter asking for your
password
• Services usually won’t
send you an email asking for this information
• “Change your password” emails should only
be trusted if YOU requested them
23. Phishing (cont…):
• Sp00f websites and DNS poisoning
• Alternate websites meant to
look like your bank.
• When you try to log in, they
capture your username and
password, but return a
“account not available right
now” or similar message
24. ALWAYS and NEVER list:
• Mama always said to never use ‘always’ and
‘never’ in a sentence…
• … Mama didn’t carry
no Android Phablet…
25. ALWAYS and NEVER list:
• NEVER open email links and
attachments from suspicious
or unknown people
• Includes unusual attachments
from people you know, but you
were not expecting
• “crazycool_giraffe_parasailing.
mov.pif”
26. ALWAYS and NEVER list:
• NEVER open links from emails that are asking
you for usernames and passwords.
• Almost always a scam (real sites know
better than to send emails like that)
• If your spam filter caught it, best to leave it
alone
• If it’s a bank email, try calling your local
branch. If they never heard of it… danger!
• If in doubt, throw it out
27. ALWAYS and NEVER list:
• NEVER post anything on any site unless:
• You are ok with the whole world knowing it
• Family picnic and birthday pics = ok
• Skinny dipping pics = never ok
• Ever read the EULA for facebook and
others? They OWN your content…
28. ALWAYS and NEVER list:
• NEVER email or post personal and sensitive
information if at all possible:
• Credit card numbers
• Bank info
• Maybe home address, vacation info
• Never know who will see it
• Easy to exploit your weaknesses
29. ALWAYS and NEVER list:
• ALWAYS use basic security
lock on your mobile devices:
• PIN codes on Apple
devices
• Password/pattern locks
for Android
30. ALWAYS and NEVER list:
• ALWAYS use apps that YOU installed:
• Verify that they are from a trusted author
• Read ratings/comments
• Use a bank’s APP instead of website if
possible
31. ALWAYS and NEVER list:
• ALWAYS disable services you don’t need:
• Disable wifi/bluetooth if/when you don’t
need them
• NFC, ssh, jailbreak and root apps
• BONUS! Fewer running things = less battery
32. Symptoms of a hacked phone:
• Unusual restarts
• Slow response time
• Web browser redirects to
inappropriate sites
• Phone sends text messages
on its own
• Online credit card charges start
showing up
• Plane tickets to Amsterdam
33. What to do if you are hacked:
• Log out from your app or website
• Switch to a different device
• Change your password
• Call your credit card company
• Request a credit alert with
credit bureau
• Erase/restore your mobile device
34. Tips for being safe:
• Incognito mode in some web browsers
• Read the manual that came with your device
• Learn all the the stuff you don’t know
• Google ‘security tweaks for Samsung galaxy
note 2’ (or your device)
• Use a lost and found service
• Apple has several app and gps based choices
• 3rd party labels – foundkarma.com
35. More reading:
• Cloud storage (Box, Dropbox, others)
• Google and Facebook’s new privacy rules
• Read ‘technology’ channel using Flipboard
