Mobile application security and threat modelingShantanu Mitra
From Telegraph to 5G, there is huge evolution and transformation in the network accessibility, application design, security threats and risk assessment - the change is getting reflected everywhere. The presentation describes here how good we can follow the best practices in our developments, how best we can we gain the trust of our clients.
This course provides an introduction to security for mobile applications. It walks through a basic threat model for a mobile application. This threat model is then used as a framework for making good decisions about designing and building applications as well as for testing the security of existing applications. Examples are provided for both iOS (iPhone and iPad) and Android platforms and sample code is provided to demonstrate mobile security assessment techniques.
Software Security for Project Managers: What Do You Need To Know?Denim Group
Application-level vulnerabilities have been responsible for a number of very public data breaches and are increasingly a target for a variety of types of attackers. This presentation demonstrates some of the security vulnerabilities that are often introduced during software development projects. It also looks at activities that can help identify these vulnerabilities as well as prevent them from being introduced in the first place. Attendees will take away from the presentation an understanding of software security risks as well as where assurance activities can be included in the project plan to help increase the security of software being developed with a minimum of impact to project schedules and budgets.
Skeletons in the Closet: Securing Inherited ApplicationsDenim Group
Many security officers worry less about the security of new applications being built and more about the security of hundreds of applications they inherited. What applications represent the biggest risk? What attributes make them more or less risky? What are the most cost-effective courses of action given budget constraints in today’s business environment? This interactive workshop will help participants understand how to attack this problem and create a risk-based approach to managing the security of an existing application portfolio using tools like the OWASP ASVS model. The session will decompose an example application to determine how to conduct a bottom-up risk profile for future risk comparison against other applications. The audience will also participate in an exercise comparing different applications to better understand the ranking process. The audience will leave with a framework, action plan and basic understanding of the risk-ranking process that they can immediately apply to their work environment.

Benchmarking Web Application Scanners for YOUR OrganizationDenim Group
Web applications pose significant risks for organizations. The selection of an appropriate scanning product or service can be challenging because every organization develops their web applications differently and decisions made by developers can cause wide swings in the value of different scanning technologies. To make a solid, informed decision, organizations need to create development team- and organization-specific benchmarks for the effectiveness of potential scanning technologies. This involves creating a comprehensive model of false positives, false negatives and other factors prior to mandating analysis technologies and making decisions about application risk management. This presentation provides a model for evaluating application analysis technologies, introduces an open source tool for benchmarking and comparing tool effectiveness, and outlines a process for making organization-specific decisions about analysis technology selection.
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.
Hybrid Analysis Mapping: Making Security and Development Tools Play Nice Toge...Denim Group
Developers want to write code and security testers want to break it and both groups have specialized tools supporting these goals. The problem is – security testers need to know more about application code to do better testing and developers need to be able to quickly address problems found by security testers. This presentation looks at both groups and their respective toolsets and explores ways they can help each other out.
Two different interactions are examined:
• How can knowledge of code make application scanning better?
• How can application scan results be mapped back to specific lines of code?
Using open source examples built on OWASP ZAP, ThreadFix and Eclipse, the presentation walks through the process of seeding web applications scans with knowledge gleaned from code analysis as well as the mapping of dynamic scan results to specific line of code. The end result is a combination of testing and remediation workflows that help both security testers and software developers be more effective. Particular attention is give to Java/JSP applications and Java/Spring applications and how teams using these frameworks can best benefit from these interactions.
Application Security Program Management with Vulnerability ManagerDenim Group
Using free Java-based software, application security managers can now have increased visibility into and control of enterprise security programs as well as the data that can be used to support sophisticated conversations with their managers and executives. Denim Group's Vulnerability Manager works through a centralized system to allow security teams to import and consolidate application-level vulnerabilities, automatically generate virtual patches, monitor attack attempts, communicate with defect tracking systems, and evaluate team maturity. Vulnerability Manager is a Java-based web application available for free under the Mozilla Public License.
This demonstration will cover the major functional areas of the Vulnerability Manager: • Application portfolio management – Creating a portfolio of application under management and tracking critical information about those applications such as associated technologies and sensitivity of data under management. • Vulnerability import and merging – Importing results of both static and dynamic scans of code, de-duplicating results and merging the output from multiple tools into a unified view of the security state of an application. • Automated virtual patch generation – Automatically creating IDS/IPS and WAF rules to provide real-time protection for certain classes of vulnerabilities as well as consuming log results from WAF/IDS/IPS in order to identify which vulnerabilities are under active attack. • Defect tracker integration – Bundling multiple vulnerabilities into packages, sending them to software defect tracking systems, and monitoring the defects to identify when software developers have closed them out. • Team maturity evaluation – Tracking interviews with development teams related to the security practices they have adopted based on maturity models such as OpenSAMM.
In addition, the presentation will explain the internals of the Vulnerability Manager software – the design decisions made as well as opportunities to extend the system to support additional technologies.

Threat Modeling the CI/CD Pipeline to Improve Software Supply Chain Security ...Denim Group
The SolarWinds attack brought additional scrutiny software supply chain security, but concerns about organizations’ software supply chains have been discussed for a number of years. Development organizations’ shift to DevOps or DevSecOps has pushed teams to adopt new technologies in the build pipeline – often hosted by 3rd parties. This has resulted in build pipelines that expose a complicated and often uncharted attack surface. In addition, modern products also incorporate code from a variety of contributors – ranging from in-house developers, 3rd party development contractors, as well as an array open source contributors.
This talk looks at the challenge of developing secure build pipelines. This is done via the construction of a threat model for an example software build pipeline that walks through how the various systems and communications along the way can potentially be misused by malicious actors. Coverage of the major components of a build pipeline – source control, open source component management, software builds, automated testing, and packaging for distribution – is used to enumerate likely attack surface exposed via the build process and to highlight potential controls that can be put in place to harden the pipeline against attacks. The presentation is intended to be useful both for evaluating internal build processes as well as to support the evaluation of critical external vendors’ processes.

We will also take a deeper dive into several tools such as nmap and OWASP Amass that can help security analysts better enumerate all of the applications in their organization’s portfolio.
Title:
AppSec Fast and Slow: Your DevSecOps CI/CD Pipeline Isn’t an SSA Program
Abstract:
With all the focus on DevSecOps and integrating security into Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipelines, some teams may be lured into thinking that the entirety of a Software Security Assurance (SSA) program can be baked into these pipelines. While integrating security into CI/CD offers many benefits, it is critical to understand that a full SSA program encompasses a variety of activities – many of which are incompatible with run time restrictions and other constraints imposed by these pipelines. This webinar looks at the breadth of activities involved in a mature SSA program and steps through the aspects of a program that can be realistically included in a pipeline, as well as those that cannot. It also reviews how these activities and related tooling have evolved over time as the application security discipline has matured and as development teams started to focus on cloud-native development techniques and technologies.

Using Collaboration to Make Application Vulnerability Management a Team SportDenim Group
Vulnerability management - especially application vulnerability management - is a challenging business function because it crosses disciplinary boundaries. Security teams find and adjudicate vulnerabilities, DevOps and server ops teams have to fix them, and GRC teams need to be kept apprised of status and progress. As has always been the case - but especially in a necessarily remote work environment - collaboration is key to making these business functions operate efficiently and effectively. This webinar looks at common bottlenecks that snarl vulnerability remediation workflows and discusses strategies to address these issues via collaboration. Examples are given of implementing these via the ThreadFix platform, but the strategies are universally-applicable for vulnerability management professionals looking to streamline their vulnerability remediation workflows.

Security Champions: Pushing Security Expertise to the Edges of Your OrganizationDenim Group
Application security teams are outnumbered. Even in security-conscious environments, application developers often exceed application security professionals by a ratio of 100:1. In addition, the push for digital transformation is accelerating the pace of development – exacerbating these challenges. One technique forward-looking security teams have adopted to stay afloat is to deploy security champions into development teams throughout the organization. This webinar looks at different models for standing up security champion initiatives and relates Denim Group’s experiences helping organizations craft and staff these programs.
The As, Bs, and Four Cs of Testing Cloud-Native ApplicationsDenim Group
Security assessments are a critical part of any security program. Being able to identify – and communicate about – vulnerabilities systems is required to get vulnerabilities prioritized for remediation. For web and mobile applications, assessment methodologies are reasonably straightforward and established. However, for cloud-native applications, the combination of new technologies and architectural elements has introduced questions about how to scope, plan, and execute security assessments. This presentation looks at how the assessment landscape has changed with the introduction of cloud-native applications and explores how threat modeling is central to testing their security. In addition, the “Four C’s” conceptual model for looking at cloud-native application security is introduced, including a discussion of how both automated and manual testing methodologies can be used to accomplish assessment goals. Finally, vulnerability contextualization and reporting are discussed, so that teams running cloud-native application assessments can properly characterize the results of their efforts to aid in the prioritization and remediation of identified issues.
An Updated Take: Threat Modeling for IoT SystemsDenim Group
The Internet of Things (IoT) is an exciting and emerging area of technology allowing individuals and businesses to make radical changes to how they live their lives and conduct commerce. The challenge with this trend is that IoT devices are just computers with sensors running applications. Because IoT devices interact with our personal lives, the proliferation of these devices exposes an unprecedented amount of personal sensitive data to significant risk. In addition, IoT security is not only about the code running on the device, these devices are connected to systems that include supporting web services as well as other client applications that allow for management and reporting.
A critical step to understanding the security of any system is building a threat model. This helps to enumerate the components of the system as well as the paths that data takes as it flows through the system. Combining this information with an understanding of trust boundaries helps provide system designers with critical information to mitigate systemic risks to the technology and architecture.
This webinar looks at how Threat Modeling can be applied to IoT systems to help build more security systems during the design process, as well as how to use Threat Modeling when testing the security of IoT systems.
Continuous Authority to Operate (ATO) with ThreadFix – Bringing Commercial In...Denim Group
The tempo for software delivery to the warfighter continues to accelerate to meet the goals and demands of their missions. Pressures to rapidly build and deploy mission software drive the need to deliver new capabilities via DevSecOps pipelines. Many of the latest leading-edge DevSecOps practices draw heavily from commercial tech companies and innovative programs across DoD like Kessel Run. What are these latest trends, and how do you take advantage of them? How do you quantify the risk of microservices, new languages and frameworks, and cloud environments and still obtain authority to operate (ATO)?
The ThreadFix platform has built-in automation and orchestration capabilities to enable your teams to provide immediate feedback in the form of policy evaluation, notifications in the form of emails and automated developer defect creation, and decision-making on your CI program as scan results are generated.

Many organizations have only a passing understanding of the scope of their application portfolios and how these assets are exposed to the Internet and other potentially dangerous networks. This puts them in a risky situation where they have an attack surface that is unknown and unmanaged, often resulting in serious vulnerabilities being exposed indefinitely.
