Vulnerability Management Nirvana: A Study in Predicting Exploitability
When everything is a priority, nothing is. 15% or 10,000 vulnerabilities have a CVSS score of 10. Vendors and practitioners alike use CVSS or their own threat intelligence models to predict which vulnerabilities will be exploited next. We review current options, present a predictive data-driven prioritization model, and how attendees can get started using our approach in their vulnerability management program.
Lessons Learned From Heartbleed, Struts, and The Neglected 90%Sonatype
Watch this insightful and witty discussion between two old pals, Wendy Nather, Security Research Director at 451 Research and Josh Corman, CTO at Sonatype on the state of application security today. They share their perspectives on the changing landscape of application development and how this is impacting common application security approaches. They agree the dramatic shift from source code to component based development has created an open source security gap. With component vulnerabilities becoming national news, Heartbleed, Struts and the promise of more to come, now is the time to stop using components with known vulnerabilities.

A Comparative Study between Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration TestingYogeshIJTSRD
The Internet has drastically changed in the past decade. Now internet has more business than before and therefore there is a increase in Advanced Persistent Threat groups and Adversaries. After all the advancement in technology and innovation Web application Security is still a challenge for most of the organization all over the world, Because every time APT’s groups and Threat actors uses different Tactics Techniques and Procedure TTPs for exploiting any organization. There can be many techniques to mitigate such attacks such as defensive coding, hardening system firewall, implementing IDS and IPS using of SIEM tools etc. The solution contains monitoring different logs, events and regular assessment of organizations network which is known as Vulnerability Assessment which is a generalized or a sequenced review of a security system and the other one is penetration testing also known popularly as ethical hacking or red teaming assessment where the client’s poses themselves as real Hackers and try to penetrate into the company’s network to check if it’s really secure or not.In this paper we will be comparing these two methods and techniques and also decide at the end which of the above two method is more superior and why.

Tech Throwdown: Secure Containerization vs WhitelistingInvincea, Inc.
To address the inadequacy of traditional anti-virus solutions, white-listing and secure containerization approaches have both gained traction in the enterprise. Both approaches have the overarching goal of preventing a successful breach at the endpoint, but each works differently and also focus on different parts of the cyber kill chain.
Invincea, a secure containerization solution, inoculates high-risk and Internet-facing applications against attack by running them in secure virtual containers, which have restricted access to the underlying host OS. This effectively removes the most common means of delivering the infection (see figure below). Any successful exploits of targeted applications (such as IE, Java, Flash, etc.), including by 0-day exploits, are kept safely in quarantine where additional forensic details may be uncovered.
Whitelisting attempts to prevent infections by allowing only certain known executables to run. This means whitelisting solutions will not see initial exploits; rather, whitelisting focuses on the next step beyond the exploit where many attacks then attempt to launch 2<sup>nd</sup> stage (malicious) executables with additional goals such as privilege escalation, lateral movement, or data exfiltration. In other words, whitelisting solutions do not have visibility into exploits of existing programs and for memory-resident malware. In addition, whitelisting solutions that prevent unknown software from running will flag legitimate software (such as patches) that are not updated with the whitelist.
In January 2024, we decided to evaluate the most used network vulnerability scanners - Nessus Professional, Qualys, Rapid7 Nexpose, Nuclei, OpenVAS, and Nmap vulnerability scripts - including our own, which industry peers can validate independently.

Leveraging shared IT and Business resources to maintain PCI complianceShiva Hullavarad
Given the serious security risks to information technology (IT) assets, managing those risks effectively is an essential task for the University and its departments. The process will benefit both the individual departments and the University as a whole. It is important that management understand what risks exist in their IT environment, and how those risks can be reduced or eliminated. In an increasingly competitive business environment organizations must develop capabilities that will provide them with a sustainable competitive advantage. The universities and colleges big and small – face continued the threat of data theft ranging from finance, heath, intellectual property and other sensitive information.
In such a high-risk environment, it’s imperative for universities and colleges to share and collaborate ideas, methods, and technologies to learn how the risks can be addressed. This talk will provide some insights on how to identify the areas for cross – collaboration to stay compliant and reduce risk. The talk also outlines the University of Alaska and Texas A&M synergistic efforts.
Vulnerability is a weakness in the application or a design flaw that allows an attacker to exploit for potential harm or financial benefits. Though it is practically impossible to have vulnerability free system, one can implement tools to identify the nature of vulnerabilities and mitigate the potential risk they pose. As an institution, it is very important for business managers, administrators, and IT security personnel to pay attention to those security warnings. The talk will identify types, sources, and mitigation of external and internal threats. The talk will review Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) tools available in the market and their benefits. Presenters will engage the audience in interactive style discussion on the available tools to detect vulnerabilities and threats and the steps needed to mitigate.
Enterprise Content Management (ECM) solutions provide robust functionality to control and analyze information. ECM solutions help reduce search times, manage data, and enable institutions with regulatory compliance. The correlation between impact on a business process through ECM implementation stage is demonstrated and been shown to follow reported hypothesis by Reimer (2002). The objective of this article is to provide (1) a typical architecture of an ECM, (2) identify key challenges in implementation and (3) implementation road map strategy

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).

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

“An adversary that possesses sophisticated levels of expertise and
significant resources which allow it to create opportunities to achieve
its objectives by using multiple attack vectors (e.g., cyber, physical,
and deception).”
“ These objectives typically include establishing and
extending footholds within the information technology infrastructure of
the targeted organizations for purposes of exfiltrating information,
undermining or impeding critical aspects of a mission, program, or
organization; or positioning itself to carry out these objectives in the
future.” ---- NIST

Continuous, daily, weekly
Depends on the asset
20. 20
Step 2:Assess threats – Goal: Protect most critical assets
Threat and vulnerability data have varied priority
Identify threats
Worms
Exploits
Wide-scale attacks
New vulnerabilities
Correlate with your most critical assets
Result = Prioritization of vulnerabilities within your
environment
21. 21
Step 3: Quantify Risk Level - (AVT)
The product of:
Assets
Vulnerabilities
Threats
Based upon the criticality of AVT
Focus your resources on the true risk
22. 22
Step 4: Remediate Vulnerabilities
Patch or Mitigate
Impact on availability from a bad patch vs. the risk of not
patching
Patch or mitigate
Recommendations:
QA security patches 24 hours
Determine if there are wide spread problems
Implement defense-in-depth
23. 23
Step 5: Measure
Current state of security metrics
Future Look:
Common nomenclature
Dashboard view of risk and vulnerabilities across
disparate organizations
Technologies that will help answer the questions:
How am I trending over time?
How do I compare to my peers?
How do I compare outside my industry?
24. 24
Assess Compliance
PCI DSS – Current standard
Assess the environment for the qualifying SAQ
Develop reports
Training
Upgrade

10 Steps to Effective Threat Management
1. Identify all the assets in your purview
2. Create an Asset Criticality Profile (ACP)
3. Determine exposures and vulnerabilities
4. Track relevant threats – realized and unrealized
5. Determine Risk - product of Assets x Vulnerabilities x Threats
6. Take corrective action if risk > cost to eliminate or mitigate
7. Create meaningful metrics and hold people accountable
8. Identify and address compliance gaps
9. Implement an automated vulnerability management system
10.Convince someone with a budget that vulnerability management is
important
26. Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration
Testing (VAPT)
26
Vulnerability assessment is the process of scanning
the system or software or a network to find out the
weakness and loophole in that.
Vulnerability types
Access control,
Boundary condition,
Input validation,
Authentication,
Configuration Weakness,
Exception Handling etc.
27. VAPT continued…
Penetration testing is the next step after
vulnerability assessment.
Penetration testing is to try to exploit the system in
authorized manner to find out the possible exploits
in the system.
In penetration testing, the tester (QSA) intently
exploits the system and find out possible exploits.

31. Summary and Conclusions
Threats of data compromise are dynamic and global
in scope
Assess the risk, vulnerability and threat – develop
the risk tolerance model
Have risk mitigation plan in place
Vulnerability is more of a reputational risk to the
institution than the financial threat
PCI DSS is an effective tool to ensure minimal risk
