An exploration of the cyber security market factors that lend to pervasive issues with hyperbole and feelings of broken trust across the various participants. Much is left off the slide & was covered in narrative at a recent OWASP LA meetup, original done for B-Sides LV.
You’ve heard about security startups on the bleeding edge and you’ve heard early adopters sharing success stories at conferences. Meanwhile, legacy security paradigms have been falling (and failing) around us. This session will discuss building a continuous program for evaluating startups and new technologies (on a budget) while avoiding unnecessary risk and instability to existing infrastructure.
Kaseya Connect 2013: Becoming A Trusted Security Advisor - It’s Easier Than Y...Kaseya
Discover how easily you can become a trusted cyber-security advisor! Develop closer and more trusted relationships with customers, reduce your support overhead, and encourage security related sales and renewals. We will provide you all the tools you need. Show you care about customer welfare by sharing security tips and news.
The reactionary state of the industry means that we quickly identify the ‘root cause’ in terms of ‘human-error’ as an object to attribute and shift blame. Hindsight bias often confuses our personal narrative with truth, which is an objective fact that we as investigators can never fully know. The poor state of self-reflection, human factors knowledge, and the nature of resource constraints further incentivize this vicious pattern. This approach results in unnecessary and unhelpful assignment of blame, isolation of the engineers involved, and ultimately a culture of fear throughout the organization. Mistakes will always happen.
Rather than failing fast and encouraging experimentation, the traditional process often discourages creativity and kills innovation. As an alternative to simply reacting to failures, the security industry has been overlooking valuable chances to further understand and nurture ‘accidents’ or ‘mistakes’ as opportunities to proactively strengthen system resilience. Expose the failures, build resilient systems, and develop an "Applied security" model to minimize the impact of failures. In this session we will cover discuss the role of ‘human-error’, root cause, and resilience engineering in our industry and how we can use new techniques such as Chaos Engineering to make a difference.
Security focused Chaos Engineering proposes that the only way to understand this uncertainty is to confront it objectively by introducing controlled signals. During this session we will cover some key concepts in Safety & Resilience Engineering work based on Sydney Dekker’s 30 years of research into airline accident investigations and how new techniques such as Chaos Engineering are making a difference in improving our ability to learn from incidents proactively before they become destructive

Cloud, DevOps and the New Security PractitionerAdrian Sanabria
First presented at Cloud Security World in Boston on June 15th, 2016.
Once upon a time, walls were erected between the Linux/UNIX crowd, Windows admins and the mainframers. Each architecture had its place and its experts, and they rarely mixed. This time around, we didn’t just get a new domain, we got a new way of doing IT and running businesses. Cloud has created new opportunities and DevOps has capitalized on them. The result of this combination is so unrecognizable that it isn’t uncommon to see IT organizations split down the middle by the new and old approaches. As DevOps continues to gain in popularity, the same split is occurring in the security workforce. Will the traditional security practitioner be in danger of becoming obsolete?

How to Replace Your Legacy Antivirus Solution with CrowdStrikeAdam Barrera
The Time Has Come To Replace Your Antivirus Solution
After decades of frustration and failure, the security industry is ready to replace legacy antivirus systems with more effective solutions. As breaches continue to make headlines, we are left to wonder if anything can really stop modern threats. The answer is yes, but it requires us to approach the problem in a new way. Instead of continually adding functionality and complexity to legacy security architectures, we need a complete reset. This is exactly what CrowdStrike offers with its cloud-delivered endpoint protection platform.
The key to this new approach is going beyond malware to understanding and address cyber threats at every stage of the kill chain. CrowdStrike does this by combining next-gen antivirus, endpoint detection and response (EDR), and a managed threat hunting service – all cloud-delivered with a single lightweight agent.
In this CrowdCast, Dan Larson, Sr. Director of Technical Marketing, will discuss:
- The typical challenges with legacy antivirus implementations and how we solve them
- How CrowdStrike offers a greater level of protection, especially against modern threats
- How cloud-delivered endpoint protection reduces operational burden
- How to migrate from legacy antivirus to CrowdStrike Falcon

What we learned from three years sciencing the crap out of devopsNicole Forsgren
Three years, 20,000 DevOps professionals, and some science... What did we find? Well, the headline is that IT *does* matter if you do it right. With a mix of technology, processes, and a great culture, IT contributes to organizations' profitability, productivity, and market share. We also found that using continuous delivery and lean management practices not only makes IT better -- giving you throughput and stability without tradeoffs -- but it also makes your work feel better -- making your organizational culture better and decreasing burnout. Jez and Nicole will share these findings as well as tips and tricks to help make your own DevOps transformation awesome.
Stranded on Infosec Island: Defending the Enterprise with Nothing but Windows...Adrian Sanabria
There are over 100 endpoint security products that claim to stop malware and other attacks against Windows. Nearly every major security incident or breach that has made media headlines had two things in common: Windows running one of these 100 products. This workshop won't spend any time bashing vendors, however. In fact, many of these products can be valuable assets when part of a more comprehensive endpoint protection strategy.
Part one of this workshop will address the anatomy of malware and why it succeeds so often.
The second part will dive down into practical defensive strategies, including passive prevention, detection, response, and remediation.
- Passive prevention is effectively free and ideal
- Prevention will always fail a percentage of the time, so detection is essential
- Response, if practiced and efficient, has a chance of stopping attacks before they reach their goal
- Remediation, because someone has to clean up this mess...
Every successful security strategy includes planning to handle failure quickly and effectively.
The remainder of the workshop will be hands-on.
Part three will review the native defensive capabilities in Windows and the pros/cons associated with using them.
For the finale, brave and trusting attendees will be invited to run neutered malware on the virtual Windows systems provided for this workshop to test out our newfound defensive skills. If not, there's no shame in watching your neighbor infect themselves with ransomware as you take notes.

React Faster and Better: New Approaches for Advanced Incident ResponseSilvioPappalardo
It’s impossible to prevent everything (we see examples of this in the press every week), so you must be prepared to respond. The sad fact is that you will be breached. Maybe not today or tomorrow, but it will happen. So response is more important than any specific control. But it’s horrifying how unsophisticated most organizations are about response.
This is compounded by the reality of an evolving attack space, which means even if you do incident response well today, it won’t be good enough for tomorrow.
Selling 0days to governments and offensive security companiesMaor Shwartz
Selling 0-days is a fascinating process that not a lot of people are familiar with. This talk will discuss a vulnerability brokerage company called Q-recon and provide a glimpse of how this market works. In the presentation the following questions will be answered from three different angles (researcher/broker/client):
Who (researcher profile) is selling 0-days to governments / offensive security companies?
What is the process of selling 0-days?
How to sell 0-days?
At the end of the presentation, I will give a few tips for researchers that want to sell 0-days to offensive security companies/governments.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.
The world of search engine optimization (SEO) is buzzing with discussions after Google confirmed that around 2,500 leaked internal documents related to its Search feature are indeed authentic. The revelation has sparked significant concerns within the SEO community. The leaked documents were initially reported by SEO experts Rand Fishkin and Mike King, igniting widespread analysis and discourse.

13. The obvious stuff
If you did a great job, many times nothing
bad will happen. Which is impossible to
prove. The really compelling “before &
after” stories are elusive.
14. I’m going to be unfair &
pick on another product
category & a single
company as an example.
15. Imagine this in security, esp
in the middle of an incident…
measure progress in months!
18. I’m sure it’s hard to build an HRIS, but their
Alice & Bob don’t have an Eve. Or a Mallory.
Or a Trudy.
Or re-architect because a new attack type
changed their original assumptions.
Or crank a new remediation engine
because they can’t remove the latest
threat.
Or make sure that OS change didn’t just
bust your behavioral defenses.
Or properly identify every IoT device.
22. Building security products is hard.
Being a security professional is hard.
Natural empathy should drive us together.
It rarely does.
23. The U.S. employs
nearly 716,000 people
in cybersecurity
positions, with
approximately 314,000
current cybersecurity
openings

31. “7% of all S3 buckets have unrestricted
public access, and 35% are unencrypted”
SkyHigh Networks (now McAfee) September 2017… before Amazon changed policy settings to proactively warn users of public buckets
32. Who When What
Booz Allen Hamilton May 2017 Battlefield imagery & admin credentials to sensitive systems
Deep Root Analytics June 2017 Personal data about 198 million American voters
Dow Jones & Co July 2017 Personally identifiable information for 2.2 million people
WWE July 2017 Personally identifiable information of >3 million wrestling fans
Verizon Wireless July/Sept 2017 Personally identifiable information of ~6 million people &
sensitive corp. information about IT systems, incl. login creds
Time Warner Cable Sept 2017 Personally identifiable information about 4 million customers,
proprietary code & administrator creds
Pentagon Exposures Sept/Nov 2017 TBs of info from spying archive, resume for intelligence
positions—incl. security clearance & ops history, creds &
metadata from an intra-agency intelligence sharing platform
Accenture Sept 2017 Master access keys for Accenture's account w/ AWS Key Mgmt
System, plaintext customer password DBs & proprietary API data
Natl. Credit Federation Nov 2017 111GB financial info—incl. full credit reports-- ~47K people
Alteryx Dec 2017 Personal info of ~123 million American households

33.
34. On average, sec teams are understaffed,
undertrained, under intense pressure from
increasing threats & vulnerabilities with
regulatory mandates to make fast
decisions… & circumstances can change
w/o warning.
Let’s try to find them some help...
49. They are spread too thin, like every other
journalist on the 24x7 coverage beat.
50.
51. They also have the same pressures as
political journalists– if you’re overly critical
you lose access.
52. They typically do not have the lab
environments they require. Most vendors
have someone dedicated to lab ops at scale.
53. Even if they had the labs they need, the skill
set required to test one product is not what
you need to test the next product.
54. And if they truly were this skilled, they would
be unlikely to remain a journalist for long.
55. So our security reviewers are unlikely to
have the focus, objectivity, labs & skills they
need to publish great reviews. And if they
did, we would hire them in a heartbeat.
What about the industry analysts?
56. Same
• Increasingly spread too thin; lack of focus
• Typically little or no experience as
practitioner
Worse
• Purely anecdotal-- no real tests
• $$$ of a subscription; not readily available
Better
• More direct customer feedback
• In-depth reports w/ longer horizon
62. What Opinion
File scanning tests Worked fine until this was only a subset of defenses… early 2000s
On access tests About the same as file scanning
Retrospective tests Purgatory b/w file scanning & real world tests; misleading
Real world tests When done properly, effective; rarely done properly
Remediation tests Few and far in between…
Performance tests Largely a success, materially improved the industry
63. At their best, public tests push vendors to
make better products, but they are too often
designed poorly or easily misunderstood.
Usually, they simply don’t exist.
67. Product Person
“Our year long effort to create an awesome network
scanner that we can improve more rapidly and
support better in the future just completed! In some
instances, you’re going to see some nice speed
improvements.”
68. Marketing
“Our year long effort to create a strong network
scanner that we can improve more rapidly and
support better in the future just completed! In some
instances, you’re going to see some nice speed
improvements.”
Customer value not
readily apparent to many
Vague
69. Post Marketing
“New scan engine frequently boosts scans by 30%,
reducing time needed to scan and easing network
impact in many instances.”
70. Customer
“New scan engine boosts scans by 30%,frequently
reducing time needed to scan and easing network
impact in many instances.”
72. Marketing security products often requires a
strong grasp of nuance, understanding not
only the tech, but also how the customer will
receive the message. These people are rare.
73. And even if they are really that good, things
change quickly. And they change security
markets… which changes everything.
74. Marketing is also affected by how dynamic
security companies are– more so than other
functions. And more so than other areas in
software.
78. Even if you can avoid the distractions, any
company will change significantly as it
briskly moves from start-
up→growth→behemoth
This often alienates employees & users
79. “I have never seen such a fast-growing market
with so many companies on the losing side”
David Cowan, Partner, Bessemer Venture Partners

80. If you knew you had to show strong sales
performance to establish your company, but
were unsure of its longevity, how would you
build & sell your product?
81. Given the rough & tumble nature of the
industry, far too often companies optimize for
creating the “reach for your wallet” moment
over establishing a strong foundation
83. It’s too easy to blame any one person or
type of person, the problem is pervasive
& self-reinforcing
84. Security Professionals
1. Do a process walk thru w/ vendor or 3rd party
2. Do whatever you can to best simulate genuine
production conditions before purchasing
3. Ask for a “reverse roadmap”
4. Insist on references, preferably long-term
ones
5. Take updates & new versions ASAP
85. Security Vendors
1. Definition of done: customer is successful
2. Hire & empower a real design team
3. Build out a complete customer feedback loop
4. If no one else will do it, produce your own
metrics & be ready to share & explain them
5. Invite Sales & Marketing into “the factory”
The oil came from Chinese Water Snakes, which were somewhat lacking on the North American continent, so later on when Americans tried to sell off fraudulent cures, snake oil was one of the go-to products to try and reproduce. Starting with rattlesnake oil.
Clark Stanley was one such entrepreneur who, at a Chicago exposition:
...reached into a sack, plucked out a snake, slit it open and plunged it into boiling water. When the fat rose to the top, he skimmed it off and used it on the spot to create 'Stanley's Snake Oil,' a liniment that was immediately snapped up by the throng that had gathered to watch the spectacle.
Kinda wish I was there to see...
The problem was that rattlesnake oil wasn't even nearly as effective as Chinese water snake, and Stanley's product wasn't even using oil to begin with. What investigators eventually found was that it contained:
...mineral oil, a fatty oil believed to be beef fat, red pepper and turpentine.
From that day forward, Stanley's scam made snake oil symbolic of fraud. Stanley was charged $20 for his crime (a little under $500 equivalent now).
Hits sec vendors too… need them to do a good job building products
There are currently 90,000 published CVE’s
2017 alone saw a 100% increase in added CVE’s from the previous year
A record-breaking number of 20,832 vulnerabilities were discovered in total in 2017, but only 13,160 of these received an official CVE identifier last year*

What could possibly go wrong?
Previous research carried out by experts from Skyhigh Networks found that 7% of all Amazon S3 buckets are publicly accessible.
Over the past few months, security researchers have found a large number of companies that leaked sensitive data this way, via S3 buckets left exposed online. A (most likely incomplete) list of the most notable incidents is included below.
⬨ Top defense contractor Booz Allen Hamilton leaks 60,000 files, including employee security credentials and passwords to a US government system. ⬨ Verizon partner leaks personal records of over 14 million Verizon customers, including names, addresses, account details, and for some victims — account PINs. ⬨ An AWS S3 server leaked the personal details of WWE fans who registered on the company's sites. 3,065,805 users were exposed. ⬨ Another AWS S3 bucket leaked the personal details of over 198 million American voters. The database contained information from three data mining companies known to be associated with the Republican Party. ⬨ Another S3 database left exposed only leaked the personal details of job applications that had Top Secret government clearance. ⬨ Dow Jones, the parent company of the Wall Street Journal, leaked the personal details of 2.2 million customers. ⬨ Omaha-based voting machine firm Election Systems & Software (ES&S) left a database exposed online that contained the personal records of 1.8 million Chicago voters. ⬨ Security researchers discovered a Verizon AWS S3 bucket containing over 100 MB of data about the company's internal system named Distributed Vision Services (DVS), used for billing operations. ⬨ An auto-tracking company leaked over a half of a million records with logins/passwords, emails, VIN (vehicle identification number), IMEI numbers of GPS devices and other data that is collected on their devices, customers and auto dealerships.
