Distributed Immutable Ephemeral - New Paradigms for the Next Era of SecuritySounil Yu
We are rapidly approaching the next era of security where we need to be focused on the ability to recover from irrecoverable attacks. This can also be defined as resiliency. The traditional view of resiliency attempts to quickly restore assets that support services that we care about. This new approach/paradigm looks at resilience in ways that promote design patterns (distributed, immutable, ephemeral) where we do not care about a given asset at all while still keeping the overall service functioning. This new approach allows us to avoid having to deal with security at all.
"Cyberhunting" actively looks for signs of compromise within an organization and seeks to control and minimize the overall damage. These rare, but essential, breed of enterprise cyber defenders give proactive security a whole new meaning.

Software composition analysis (SCA) is often sold as an easy win for application security, but ensuring that we have full visibility on the vulnerable components is a lot more challenging that it looks. The remediation costs can also stack up pretty quickly as we try to get rid of deeply nested vulnerable transitive dependencies.
Cyber threat intelligence: maturity and metricsMark Arena
From SANS Cyber Threat Intelligence Summit 2016. What are the characteristics of a mature cyber threat intelligence program, and how do you develop meaningful metrics? Traditionally, intelligence has been about providing decision
support to executives whilst the field of cyber threat intelligence supports this customer, and network defenders, who have different requirements. By using the intelligence cycle, this talk will
seek to help attendees understand how they can identify what a mature intelligence program looks like and the steps to take their program to the next level.
Your adversaries continue to attack and get into companies. You can no longer rely on alerts from point solutions alone to secure your network. To identify and mitigate these advanced threats, analysts must become proactive in identifying not just indicators, but attack patterns and behavior. In this workshop we will walk through a hands-on exercise with a real world attack scenario. The workshop will illustrate how advanced correlations from multiple data sources and machine learning can enhance security analysts capability to detect and quickly mitigate advanced attacks.

Managing & Showing Value during Red Team Engagements & Purple Team Exercises ...Jorge Orchilles
Join Jorge Orchilles and Phil Wainwright as they cover how to show value during Red and Purple Team exercises with a free platform, VECTR. VECTR is included in SANS Slingshot C2 Matrix Edition so you can follow along the presentation and live demos.
VECTR is a free platform for planning and tracking of your red and purple team exercises and alignment to blue team detection and prevention capabilities across different attack scenarios. VECTR provides the ability to create assessment groups, which consist of a collection of Campaigns and supporting Test Cases to simulate adversary threats. Campaigns can be broad and span activity across the kill chain or ATT&CK tactics, from initial access to privilege escalation and lateral movement and so on, or can be a narrow in scope to focus on specific defensive controls, tools, and infrastructure. VECTR is designed to promote full transparency between offense and defense, encourage training between team members, and improve detection, prevention & response capabilities across cloud and on-premise environments.
Common use cases for VECTR are measuring your defenses over time against the MITRE ATT&CK framework, creating custom red team scenarios and adversary emulation plans, and assisting with toolset evaluations. VECTR is meant to be used over time with targeted campaigns, iteration, and measurable enhancements to both red team skills and blue team detection capabilities. Ultimately the goal of VECTR is to help organizations level up and promote a platform that encourages community sharing of CTI that is useful for red teamers, blue teamers, threat intel teams, security engineering, any number of other cyber roles, and helps management show increasing maturity in their programs and justification of whats working, whats not, and where additional investment might be needed in tools and team members to bring it all together.

Preventing Supply Chain Attacks on Open Source SoftwareAll Things Open
Presented at Open Source 101 2022
Presented by Kavitha Venkataswamy & Srinivasan Rangaraj, CapitalOne
Abstract: OpenSource software consumption is taking huge leaps forward, so do the vulnerabilities increase. The more we use open source software, the more risk we accumulate as we are including someone else’s code that could potentially contain vulnerabilities now or in the future.
Do you know how long it takes from the time a vulnerability enters the code base and until it is discovered and disclosed, Rate of fixing?
We will go through the basics, and how to use open source tools like OWASP “Dependency Track” which is a continuous component analysis platform to reduce open source risk. Dependency-Track is an intelligent Component Analysis platform that allows organizations to identify and reduce risk in the software supply chain. Dependency-Track takes a unique and highly beneficial approach by leveraging the capabilities of Software Bill of Materials (SBOM).
Mobile Application also leverage lot of open source and they can also be vulnerable to Supply Chain attacks and there is always a challenge to roll patched versions of the app to app stores after the patching these vulnerabilities and we will be discussing on various ways to make sure the open source components must be Scanned from a software composition and binary analysis.
Attendees will walk away with understanding of software supply chain vulnerabilities and how to prevent them using open source tools.

Deep dive nella supply chain della nostra infrastruttura cloudsparkfabrik
L'infrastruttura come codice e le applicazioni cloud-native consentono di raggiungere livelli senza precedenti di efficienza e governance dei nostri servizi cloud, rendendoci capaci di creare infrastrutture immutabili e ripetibili, di poterci operare come se fossero applicazioni quindi versionando il codice, qa e test automatici e procedure di rilascio automatiche verso gli ambienti di destinazione. Più inseriamo codice nelle nostre infrastrutture, più estendiamo la superficie di attacco. In questo talk, esaminerò gli attacchi alla catena di approvvigionamento a diversi livelli, come rilevarli e le tecniche per mitigarli e come scrivere codice IaC più sicuro.
As presented by Tim Mackey, Senior Technical Evangelist at Black Duck Software, at Open Source Open Standards (GovNet) (http://opensourceconference.co.uk/), this deck covers some of the material which operators of open source data centers and users of container and cloud technologies should be aware of when seeking to be security conscious.
Traditionally, when datacentre operators talk about application security, there has been a tendency to focus on issues related to key management, firewalls and data access. By contrast, application developers have a security focus which is more aligned with code analysis and fuzzing techniques. The reality is, secure application deployment principles extend from the infrastructure layer through the application and include how the application is deployed. With the prevalence of continuous deployment, it’s imperative to focus efforts on what attackers’ view as vulnerable; particularly in an environment where new exploits are being disclosed almost daily.
In this session we’ll present:
- How known vulnerabilities can make their way into production deployments
- How vulnerability impact is maximized
- A methodology for ensuring deployment of vulnerable code can be minimized
- A methodology to minimize the potential for vulnerable code to be redistributed

Security in the age of open source - Myths and misperceptionsTim Mackey
As delivered at Interop ITX 2017.
The security of open source software is a function of the security of its components. For most applications, open source technologies are at their core, but security related issues may not be disclosed directly against the application because its use of the open-source component is hidden. In this talk, I explored how information flow benefits attackers, but how awareness can help defenders. I presented key attributes any vulnerability solution should have - including deep understanding of how open source development works and being DevOps aware.
While vulnerability assessment tools can identify unpatched or misconfigured code bases, these tools overlook a large portion of an organization's attack surface: known vulnerabilities in applications that are built in-house.
