Peter Wood has worked as an ethical hacker for the past 20 years, with clients in sectors as diverse as banking, insurance, retail and manufacturing. He will describe how advanced persistent threats operate from a security intelligence perspective, based on published case studies and analysis. He will highlight APT entry points and exploitation techniques and suggest practical prevention and detection strategies.
Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) are a serious concern as they represent a threat to an organization’s intellectual property, financial assets and reputation. In some cases, these threats target critical infrastructure and government institutions, thereby threatening the country’s national security itself.
Introduction to Advanced Persistent Threats (APT) for Non-Security EngineersOllie Whitehouse
This short 45 minutes presentation is aimed at ICS/SCADA and general IT engineers who want to understand basic concepts related to the much discussed threat that is APT.
The audience is first introduced to the concepts, who employs APTs before going into how they manifest before finally closing out with mitigation and defense strategies.
Advanced Persistent Threats (Shining the Light on the Industries' Best Kept S...Security B-Sides
The following lecture will cover very advanced techniques and trade craft of subversive multi-vector threat's (SMT's) and advanced persistent threats (APTs) by two of the world's leading experts in this specific field. It is important to understand that APT's have a long history and though typically not talked about unless you are dealing with Governments, Defense Industrial Base (DIB), research organizations and global financials are all too real. The techniques and tradecraft associated are so mature and diverse, they literally go undetected. Today’s Internet is far more complex, dynamic and diverse than ever before. Because of this fast-paced evolution within the threat landscape these types of attacks (as we predicted in a recent lecture at ToorCon in October 2009 in San Diego, Ca), have swiftly become mainstream. The telemetry of the attack surface knows no bounds and includes any mediums necessary for the completing their operational charter and missions. In most instances, these attacks are sponsored by nation state and sub-national entities either politically or economically motivated. During our discussion, we will address the history and psychology of these cyber actors as it relates to APTs and while advancing in an in-depth discussion on SMT's, crypto-virology, asymmetric forms of information gathering, recent use cases and next generation countermeasures for detecting and defending these types of attacks. Lastly, as we predicted last fall on the rise of the APT's into the mainstream, we will also leave you with yet another prediction of what to expect in the coming year.

Cyber Security - IDS/IPS is not enoughSavvius, Inc
Watch the full OnDemand Webcast: http://bit.ly/CyberSecurityIDSIPS
Network breaches are on the rise. You can find statistics and specific accounts of breaches all over the Web. And those are just the ones companies are willing to talk about.
You have an IDS/IPS in place so you’re protected, right? Not necessarily, since most breaches today are unique, and often employ prolonged, targeted attacks, making them hard to predict and counteract with existing IDS/IPS solutions. Worse, sometimes attacks begin, or are at least facilitated, from within the firewall, whether maliciously or simply due to negligence and inappropriate corporate network usage.
The current environment of profit-driven network attacks requires that you supplement existing IDS/IPS solutions with technology that constantly monitors and records all network traffic, and provides the ability to perform Network Forensics. This way if an attack occurs, and the odds are not in your favor, you can not only characterize the breach, but also assess the damage, ensure no further compromise, and comply with corporate and legal requirements for reporting. Additionally, by employing Network Forensics proactively, you can spot dangerous behavior on your network as it happens, swinging the odds of avoiding an attack back in your favor.
In this web seminar, we will cover:
- Current trends in cyber attacks, including APTs (Advanced Persistent Threats)
- Common characteristics of recent cyber attacks
- Limitations of IDS/IPS solutions
- Using Network Forensics to supplement your defenses
What you will learn:
- Why IDS/IPS solutions fall short
- How to implement a Network Forensics solution
- How to use Network Forensics for both proactive and post-incident security analysis

Lessons learned from hundreds of cyber espionage breaches by TT and Ashley - ...CODE BLUE
Cyber espionage attacks have been aware of for around 10 years. Security vendors keep inventing new technology to defend against attack. Many solutions look fancy, however breaches keep happening. People spent a lot of budget to improve their fences, but the effectiveness of these security products remains doubtful. In Taiwan, we have more than 10 years history with cyber espionage attacks. Government, enterprises, and security vendors were fighting hard with threat actors, but new victims still got compromised day by day.
In recent years, a lot of Japanese government agencies, defense industry, enterprises are suffering from cyber attacks from cyber espionage groups. We keep seeing breaches and incidents from news. We believe many victims still have no good strategy to defend and control the situation.
In this talk, cyber espionage attacks in the last decade would be discussed from Asia Pacific region’s point of view. We’ll discuss why security solutions didn’t work, how actors easily bypassed those fancy solutions and adopted countermeasures quickly with very low cost. Besides, according to our incident response’s experience for hundreds times and consulting to help victim for several years, we will try to propose a design of security model to prevent, detect, react, and remediate cyber espionage threats.
ESET researcher Aryeh Goretsky explains in this presentation why he hates the term Advanced Persitent Threats (APT), what are the common mechanisms of APT and what are the defensive technologies.

Top Strategies to Capture Security Intelligence for ApplicationsDenim Group
Security professionals have years of experience logging and tracking network security events to identify unauthorized or malicious activity on a corporate network. Unfortunately, many of today's attacks are focused on the application layer, where the fidelity of logging for security events is less robust. Most application logs are typically used to see errors and failures and the internal state of the system, not events that might be interesting from a security perspective. Security practitioners are concerned with understanding patterns of user behavior and, in the event of an attack, being able to see an entire user’s session. How are application events different from network events? What type of information should security practitioners ensure software developers log for event analysis? What are the types of technologies that enable application-level logging and analysis? In this presentation, John Dickson will discuss what should be present in application logs to help understand threats and attacks, and better guard against them.
Stopping the Adobe, Apple and Java Software Updater InsanityLumension
This presentation by Randy Franklin Smith from Ultimate Windows Security reviews, “Stopping the Adobe, Apple and Java Software Updater Insanity”. He shares tips and caveats for dealing with the most common software updaters from Adobe, Apple and Oracle. But the bottom line is that we all need centralized patch management and he’ll explore the important requirements and architectural issues you should be aware of in this space.
With each passing year, the security threats facing computer networks have become more technically sophisticated, better organized and harder to detect. At the same time, the consequences of failure to block these attacks have increased. In addition to the economic consequences of financial fraud, we are seeing real-world attacks that impact the reliability of critical infrastructure and national security.
Join Lancope's Director of Security Research to learn about five key challenges that computer security professionals face in 2013, including:
1. State-sponsored espionage and sabotage of computer networks
2. Monster DDoS attacks
3. The loss of visibility and control created by IT consumerization and the cloud
4. The password debacle
5. Insider threats
HP Enterprise Security Products - Intelligent Security & Risk management Platform, una risposta globale e proattiva alle nuove sfide del mercato della sicurezza.
Pierpaolo Ali' , HP Enterprise Security Product - Sales Director Italy
Despite huge investments in anti-virus software, next-gen firewalls, and IPS platforms, companies are still getting hacked. The new generation of advanced targeted attacks bypasses traditional defenses and put sensitive data at risk. It takes just minutes from the time an organization is compromised to the exfiltration of sensitive data. What's needed is a security solution that can detect and block data center threats while allowing easy, appropriate access to the assets essential to running your business. This presentation from Imperva and FireEye addresses data center security requirements and solutions.
Looking at the security landscape for 2013, we predict that previous security investments made by larger, well-funded organizations will serve as a partial deterrent to hackers. However, those same hackers, armed with sophisticated malware and cloaked in a dangerous anonymity provided by the Cloud, will turn their collective eyes to a new, more vulnerable target: small companies. This presentation reveals the four super-sized security trends that will impact business security practices across the globe in 2013.
The on-going emergence of advanced persistent threats (APTs) and other sophisticated attacks have made it more difficult than ever to develop strategies for protecting IT systems. Further, the systems themselves are increasingly complex, increasing the potential for security gaps. In this deck, Garve Hays - Solution Acrhitect at NetIQ, outlines APTs and evaluating effective responses.
What have we learned from 2017's biggest breaches and how will we deal with 2018's emerging threats? Attempting to look both backward and forward over the cyber landscape, Peter Wood will review lessons learned and apply them to the evolving threatscape.
In this session, the focus will be on OWASP Top 10 mobile risks and prevention tips. Hackers’ exploitation of these most common mobile vulnerabilities will be demonstrated in the session.

Hacking is easy: understanding your vulnerabilitiesPeter Wood
Insight from a professional hacker
Hacking is easy: understanding your vulnerabilities
Creating a robust cyber security strategy has become a key focus for many insurers in recent years. In this session, a professional hacker will explore the scope and evolution of hacking activity and how this is affecting the insurance industry. You will discover key vulnerabilities within organisations and the best techniques to adopt in order to mitigate threats.
If your processing and data is in the cloud, how can you deliver assurance, compliance and governance? How do you find the flaws and soft spots that criminals will exploit? From browser to database, through human factors and end points, this presentation will take a threat-based approach to securing the cloud.
Cyber risk isn't new, but the stakes grow higher every day. An incident is no longer likely to be an isolated event, but a sustained and persistent campaign. There is no single solution that will offer protection from an attack, but a Cyber Resilience strategy can provide a multi-layered approach that encompasses people, processes and technology. Pete's presentation talks about eliminating the gap between IT and the business to present a united front against threats. This is a paradigm shift that uses security intelligence to guide decisions and support agility.

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:

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
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.

Many people don’t understand that wireless networking is like a wired hub – there is no packet switching, so anyone connected to an open wireless access point can see everyone else’s traffic. Again discovering how to do this isn’t hard and the tools are free. A criminal attacker could be sitting some distance away with a directional antenna and watching everything on the unprotected network.
When logging into a website you usually start by submitting your username and password. The server then checks to see if an account matching this information exists and if so, replies back to you with a "cookie" which is used by your browser for all subsequent requests. It's extremely common for websites to protect your password by encrypting the initial login, but surprisingly uncommon for websites to encrypt everything else. This leaves the cookie (and the user) vulnerable. HTTP session hijacking (sometimes called "sidejacking") is when an attacker gets a hold of a user's cookie, allowing them to do anything the user can do on a particular website. On an open wireless network, cookies are basically shouted through the air, making these attacks extremely easy. This is a widely known problem that has been talked about to death, yet very popular websites continue to fail at protecting their users. The only effective fix for this problem is full end-to-end encryption, known on the web as HTTPS or SSL. Facebook is constantly rolling out new "privacy" features in an endless attempt to quell the screams of unhappy users, but what's the point when someone can just take over an account entirely? Twitter forced all third party developers to use OAuth then immediately released (and promoted) a new version of their insecure website. When it comes to user privacy, SSL is the elephant in the room. After installing the extension you'll see a new sidebar. Connect to any busy open wifi network and click the big "Start Capturing" button. Then wait. As soon as anyone on the network visits an insecure website known to Firesheep, their name and photo will be displayed.
Double-click on someone, and you're instantly logged in as them. That's it. Firesheep is free, open source, and is available now for Mac OS X and Windows. Linux support is on the way. Websites have a responsibility to protect the people who depend on their services. They've been ignoring this responsibility for too long, and it's time for everyone to demand a more secure web. My hope is that Firesheep will help the users win.
PETE: And also, just like the Smartphone, before you do anything else on a social network I want you to protect your ID and your personal information. Because of the “delusion of free”. Because you think the Internet is this wonderful, benign, philanthropic supermarket, run by Willy Wonka, where the price tag of everything is zero-point-zero, please-help-yourself. So you may not wonder why this social media outfit wants you to stuff its archives with all your personal information, all your preferences, all your loves and likes and loathings. But what’s going to happen, with your help, is they publish all your info them throughout the known universe. And thus, shrewd cold callers on the planet Zog will have access to all of that sweet intelligence plus your email and phone number. A reminder. What are you? FRANK: I am the product.
