5 Models for Enterprise Software Security Management Teams Cigital
The document outlines 5 models for organizing an enterprise software security group (SSG): Services, Policy, Business Unit, Hybrid, and Management. Each model structures the SSG differently, with a central team and satellite members throughout the organization. The models also differ in average size and how security responsibilities are handled. Setting up the right SSG structure depends on factors like an organization's culture and needs. The information can help organizations choose the most effective model when establishing their own SSG.
The document discusses 6 reasons why managed application security services can help companies address application security risks in a proactive and cost-effective manner. Managed services provide on-demand access to security experts and testing tools to continuously test applications, address gaps and changing needs, and keep up with the latest threats. This flexible approach removes obstacles for in-house teams so they can focus on building security awareness and managing the overall program rather than getting bogged down in routine testing tasks.

Static Analysis Tools and Frameworks: Overcoming a Dangerous Blind SpotCigital
More and more organizations are using static analysis tools to find security bugs and other quality issues in software long before the code is tested and released. This is a good thing, and despite their well-known frustrations like high false positive rates and relatively slow speeds, these tools are helping improve the overall security of software.
Unfortunately, these known frustrations may also introduce a dangerous blind spot in these tools which do not know modern frameworks as well as they know the base languages. Learn how organizations are often left feeling secure when they’re not.
The document discusses the Secure Software Development Life Cycle (SSDLC) and provides recommendations for developers to integrate security into their processes. It recommends that developers understand common threats, perform penetration testing, implement logging of abnormal activity, secure all inputs and outputs, and consider security requirements throughout the entire development cycle from design to deployment. The document emphasizes that software security is important and is everyone's responsibility.
Integrating security into the development of an application or software is necessary to decrease its risk of susceptibility to attacks and exploits. Traditional methods of security testing were performed on a finished product. However, with the rise in the intensity and the number of attack vectors, it has become necessary for organizations to include it as a part of every phase of an SDLC.
The document discusses five types of assessments that are important for comprehensive risk management: risk assessment, security controls assessment, compliance assessment, vulnerability assessment, and penetration testing. It provides an overview of why each assessment is conducted, how it is conducted, and the expected outcome. Comprehensive risk management involves identifying threats and risks, understanding existing security controls, ensuring compliance with standards, identifying vulnerabilities, and testing the effectiveness of controls against attacks.
This document discusses assessment techniques for evaluating network security and compliance. It covers external vulnerability assessments conducted as an outsider to identify vulnerabilities through reconnaissance, system and service enumeration, and vulnerability scanning. Internal assessments are also discussed to test compliance from an insider perspective against security policies. A variety of tools are presented for different phases of external and internal assessments, including network mappers, vulnerability scanners, and tools for testing firewall and IDS policies.

Dan Glass, CISO of American Airlines, presented on developing rugged systems through an approach called Rugged DevOps. The presentation outlined four focus areas - Rugged Systems, Operational Excellence, Actionable Intelligence, and Defensible Platforms. For each area, Glass provided 3-4 sentences on how American Airlines will ensure systems can withstand hostile environments, adapt to changes, meet enterprise standards, maintain reliability through standardization, harvest and analyze data to enable quick decisions, and develop platforms that are hardened and can withstand attacks. The presentation concluded by answering questions on how to discuss products with vendors, changing mindsets, and balancing automation, legacy systems, and accountability.
The document outlines seven habits that DevOps teams can adopt to increase application security. The habits are: 1) Increase trust and transparency between development, security, and operations teams. 2) Understand the probability and impact of specific security risks. 3) Discard detailed security roadmaps in favor of incremental improvements. 4) Use continuous delivery pipelines to incrementally improve security practices. 5) Standardize and continuously update third-party software. 6) Govern with automated audit trails. 7) Test security preparedness through "security games". Adopting these habits helps integrate security across the development lifecycle to reduce vulnerability discovery and remediation time.
The document discusses the phases of securing the software development life cycle (SecSDLC). It outlines six phases: (1) Investigation, (2) Analysis, (3) Logical design, (4) Physical design, (5) Implementation, and (6) Maintenance and change. Each phase includes traditional SDLC steps as well as unique security considerations. The investigation phase begins the process by identifying goals, constraints, and feasibility. The analysis phase studies existing policies and performs risk analysis. The logical design phase creates security blueprints and plans for incidents. The physical design phase selects security technologies. Implementation puts solutions in place, and maintenance constantly monitors for changing threats.

Rising college tuition in the US has prompted much activism and debate. Tuition has increased 439% from 1982-2007, far outpacing income growth. While policies like the GI Bill initially expanded access to higher education, recent government policies and an emphasis on rankings and spending per student have contributed to higher costs. Students have staged protests at schools like UC Berkeley against tuition hikes. While President Obama has attempted reforms, more action is still needed to control tuition and maintain affordable higher education for all.

The document discusses employee productivity. It defines productivity as the ratio of output to inputs used. Productivity can be increased by boosting output while maintaining or reducing inputs. Key factors that impact productivity include the physical work environment, technology, employee ability and motivation. Motivation is complex but satisfying higher-level needs may be most effective. Productivity measurement techniques like time studies are also outlined.
- The document discusses a new paradigm for testing called "Exploring v Testing" which focuses on exploration of knowledge sources to build test models that inform testing rather than traditional logistics-focused testing.
- It outlines three patterns of software development (structured, agile, continuous) but argues this is too simplistic and there are many approaches. A new model of testing is needed that is free from concerns about logistics.
- All testing is exploratory - testers explore knowledge sources to build test models that judge if models are adequate and inform testing. This changes what skills testers need and blurs the lines between testers and developers.
This document summarizes a talk on using hackers versus security tools in the software development lifecycle (SDLC). It discusses how hackers can provide a unique perspective in requirements, design, development, testing, and production by thinking creatively about edge cases and security implications, though they do not scale as well as tools. Tools are better for automation, high-volume testing, and preventing known issues, but may miss more complex vulnerabilities. An informed approach uses both hackers and tools throughout the SDLC.
Geoffrey Vaughan, Security Engineer at Security Innovation, discusses the pro's and con's of using a hacker vs. a scanning tool for testing applications.
This document discusses integrating security practices into agile software development processes. It begins with an overview of agile development principles and how security frameworks can sometimes conflict with an agile approach. It then discusses strategies for collaborating with development teams on security, including designating security champions within teams and providing customized security training. The document closes by highlighting the importance of catching security issues early in the development process, citing statistics about the frequency and costs of breaches that result from insecure software releases.
This presentation will provide an overview of what a penetration test is, why companies pay for them, and what role they play in IT security.

The document discusses how to minimize human errors in software development through prevention and detection. It recommends taking an incremental and iterative approach where each phase of development (requirements analysis, design, construction, and verification) includes efforts to both prevent errors from occurring and detect any errors after the phase is complete. This approach aims to find and address defects as early as possible in the software development lifecycle to reduce costs compared to finding issues later. The key aspects are applying prevention and detection techniques incrementally and iteratively throughout each phase of analysis, design, construction, and verification.
I believe that our existing models of testing are not fit for purpose – they are inconsistent, controversial, partial, proprietary and stuck in the past. They are not going to support us in the rapidly emerging technologies and approaches. The certification schemes that should represent the interests and integrity of our profession don’t, and we are left with schemes that are popular, but have low value, lower esteem and attract harsh criticism. My goal in proposing the New Model is to stimulate new thinking in this area.

Software runs today’s business; however, security implications are often misunderstood, creating significant organizational risk. Poorly configured servers, 3rd-party software, and continuous release cycles put additional pressure on already stressed teams.
Hackers no longer just exploit vulnerabilities in code -- faulty cloud deployments, weak database structures, and business logic problems are also easy targets for attackers. To reduce risk, you’ve got to audit your system in the same way an attacker would.
This presentation demonstrates how attackers compromise the modern enterprise. For each attack demonstrated, mitigation practices will be discussed. WARNING: software will be harmed during this presentation. Viewer discretion advised.
This document discusses DevSecOps, including what it is, why it is needed, and how to implement it. DevSecOps aims to integrate security into development tools and processes to promote a "secure by default" culture. It is needed because traditional security approaches cannot keep up with the rapid pace of DevOps. Implementing DevSecOps involves automating security checks and tests into the development pipeline and promoting collaboration between development, security, and operations teams. The document provides examples of tools that can be used and case studies of DevSecOps implementations.

What happens when a company either doesn’t fully empower the Security team, or have one at all? Stuff like Goto fail, Equifax, unsandboxed AVs and infinite other buzz, or yet to be buzzed, words describe failures of not adequately protecting customers or services they rely on. Having a solid security team enables a company to set a bar, ensure security exists within the design, insert tooling at various stages of the process and continuously iterate on such results. Working with the folks building the products to give them solutions instead of just problems allows one to scale, earn trust and most importantly be effective and actually ship.
There’s a whole security industry out there with folks wearing every which hat you can think of. They have influence and the ability to find a bug one day and disclose it the next, so companies must adapt both engineering practices and perspectives in order to ‘navigate the waters of reality’ and not just hope one doesn’t take a look at their product. Having processes in place that reduce attack surface, automate testing and set a minimum bar can reduce bugs therefore randomization for devs therefore cost of patching and create a culture where security makes more sense as it demonstratively solves problems.
Nvidia is evolving in this space. Focused on the role of product security, I’ll go through the various components of a security team and how they each interact and complement each other, commodity and niche tooling as well as how relationships across organizations can give one an edge in this area. This talk balances the perspective of security engineers working within a large company with the independent nature of how things work in the industry.
Attendees will walk away with a breadth of knowledge, an inside view of the technical workings, tooling and intricacies of finding and fixing bugs and finding balance within a product-first world.
Bootstrapping an Open-Source Program Office at Blue Cross NCAll Things Open
Presented at Open Source 101 2023 - Charlotte
Presented by: Paul McLaughlin, Blue Cross North Carolina
Title: Bootstrapping an Open-Source Program Office at Blue Cross NC
Abstract: Are you at the early stages of expanding your Open-Source environment but can’t figure out which tentacle to grab first? Is the problem everybody’s problem and nobody’s problem all at once? Are you passing up opportunities – or worse yet, swallowing unknown gallons of risk?
This talk will tell the humble story of starting an Open-Source Program Office at Blue Cross NC. You might resonate with our starting point where someone somewhere needed to grab the ball. I’ll share how we laid the groundwork at a grassroots level, gained sponsorship, and eventually reoriented a half dozen functional areas so they could take advantage of Open-Source Software without incurring undue risk. You'll hear the who, the how, and the what. We'll celebrate some modest successes and lessons learned.
In the world of agile, there is theory and then there is practice. We like to talk about self-organizing teams, asynchronous execution, BDD, TDD, and emergent architecture. We also talk about cross-functional teams: how analysts, testers, architects, technical writers, and UX designers belong on the same team, right next to programmers. It all sounds nice in theory, but how does this work in reality? What do these people actually do? How do they interact? What does it look like? Is there really a pragmatic way to make this work?
In this simulation, a cross-functional team will actually build a piece of software. Every specialist will have a hand in the process. Every specialist will also act as a generalist. Everyone will add value. And as a team, we’ll get something DONE.
This is your opportunity to see agile development in practice, and to bridge the gap between what agilists say and what teams do. And it’s not as new or as difficult as you think – affinity between testers, BA’s, coders, and other team members has really been at the root of effective development practices all along. Let’s just finally acknowledge that it works, demonstrate its capabilities, and encourage it going forward.
This IS agile development.
Improve Security through Continuous TestingTechWell
Many companies develop strong software development practices that include ongoing testing throughout the development lifecycle. But they fail to account for the testing of security-related issues. This leads to security controls being tacked on to an application just before it goes to production. With security controls implemented in this manner, more security vulnerabilities are uncovered but there is less time to correct them. As more applications move to cloud-based architectures, this will become an even greater problem as some of the protection enjoyed by applications hosted on-site no longer exists. Jeremy Faircloth discusses a better approach—ensuring that testing throughout the development lifecycle includes the appropriate focus on security controls. Jeremy illustrates this through the establishment of security-related use cases, static code analysis, dynamic analysis, fuzzing, availability testing, and other techniques. Save yourself from last minute security issues by proactively testing the security of your application!
This document summarizes a talk on secure software development. It discusses the three Ps of security: people, process, and persistence/practice. It outlines several published standards for secure development like SSE-CMM and SAMM. Practical best practices discussed include standardizing infrastructure, isolating development stages, peer reviews, centralized bug tracking, and using appropriate tools and frameworks. Common myths debunked are that complex passwords are secure, closed source is less secure than open source, and third party testing ensures security.

Cyber War, Cyber Peace, Stones, and Glass HousesCigital
This document discusses cyber security and defenses against cyber threats. It argues that a proactive defense approach focused on building security into software and systems from the start is more effective than an offensive approach and can deter cyber attacks. It also notes that attribution of cyber attacks remains a challenge. The document advocates for civilian agencies to lead on cyber security policy and for focusing on securing information systems rather than just network infrastructure.
The Complete Web Application Security Testing ChecklistCigital
Did you know that the web is the most common target for application-level attacks? That being said, if you have ever been tasked with securing a web application for one reason or another, then you know it’s not a simple feat to accomplish. When securing your applications, it’s critical to take a strategic approach. This web application security testing checklist guides you through the testing process, captures key testing elements, and prevents testing oversights.
Tailor your approach and ensure that your testing strategy is as effective, efficient, and timely as possible with these six steps:
SAST vs. DAST: What’s the Best Method For Application Security Testing?Cigital
High profile security breaches are leading to heightened organizational security concerns. Firms around the world are now observing the consequences of security breaches that are becoming more widespread and more advanced. Due to this, firms are ready to identify vulnerabilities in their applications and mitigate the risks.
Two ways to go about this are static application security testing (SAST) and dynamic application security testing (DAST). These application security testing methodologies are used to find the security vulnerabilities that make your organization’s applications susceptible to attack.
The two methodologies approach applications very differently. They are most effective at different phases of the software development life cycle (SDLC) and find different types of vulnerabilities. For example, SAST detects critical vulnerabilities such as cross-site scripting (XSS), SQL injection, and buffer overflow earlier in the SDLC. DAST, on the other hand, uses an outside-in penetration testing approach to identify security vulnerabilities while web applications are running.
Let us guide you through your application security testing journey with more key differences between SAST and DAST:
The Building Security In Maturity Model (BSIMM, pronounced “bee simm”) is a study of existing software security initiatives. By quantifying the practices of many different organizations, we can describe the common ground shared by many as well as the variation that makes each unique.

BSIMM: Bringing Science to Software SecurityCigital
There is an old management adage that says “You can’t manage what you don’t measure.” The Building Security in Maturity Model (BSIMM) applies scientific principles to the field of software security to effectively measure security activities across industries and business units. The BSIMM enables experts like you to discover what exists in the application security universe, how those things work today, how they worked in the past and how they are likely to work in the future.

Consistent toolbox talks are critical for maintaining workplace safety, as they provide regular opportunities to address specific hazards and reinforce safe practices.
These brief, focused sessions ensure that safety is a continual conversation rather than a one-time event, which helps keep safety protocols fresh in employees' minds. Studies have shown that shorter, more frequent training sessions are more effective for retention and behavior change compared to longer, infrequent sessions.
Engaging workers regularly, toolbox talks promote a culture of safety, empower employees to voice concerns, and ultimately reduce the likelihood of accidents and injuries on site.
The traditional method of conducting safety talks with paper documents and lengthy meetings is not only time-consuming but also less effective. Manual tracking of attendance and compliance is prone to errors and inconsistencies, leading to gaps in safety communication and potential non-compliance with OSHA regulations. Switching to a digital solution like Safelyio offers significant advantages.
Safelyio automates the delivery and documentation of safety talks, ensuring consistency and accessibility. The microlearning approach breaks down complex safety protocols into manageable, bite-sized pieces, making it easier for employees to absorb and retain information.
This method minimizes disruptions to work schedules, eliminates the hassle of paperwork, and ensures that all safety communications are tracked and recorded accurately. Ultimately, using a digital platform like Safelyio enhances engagement, compliance, and overall safety performance on site. https://safelyio.com/

2. Squashing a few myths
Assuming you want to deliver secure software…
• An SSI is optional
• My company is too small to have an SSI
• An SSI will negatively impact our ability to quickly deliver
<whatever it is you deliver>
… or ...
• We can’t have an SSI, we’re a DevOps/Agile/whatever
shop
4. Why have an SSI?
• An SSI is really about preventing defects from ever
occurring
• Defect discovery is just a common place to start
• Risk = Likelihood x Impact
• Likelihood and Impact require knowledge of how the
defect works and what components are affected
• And that requires defect identification
5. Three common defect discovery techniques
• Penetration testing
• Code review focusing on software security
• Design review focusing on software security
Many SSIs get started by doing one of these activities.

7. Penetration test – What do we know?
• A great deal of published material
on attacks that work(ed)
• We know what to try again
• Testing driven by attributes of
system (type, data, business, …)
…
8. Penetration test – How?
• Tool-driven
• Very mature space
• Many factors to consider – cost, capability of tool, feature set,
customizability, deployment options, …
• People-driven (outsourced)
• Very mature space
• Many factors to consider – cost, scalability, quality, trust, logistics,
…
• People-driven (in-house)
• Hard to find, harder to keep, impossible to scale
9. Secure code review – What do we know?
• SCR ≠ CR
• Checklists for “things to look for” or “things to avoid”
• E.g., information about dangerous APIs
• Some frameworks publish secure coding guidelines
• Guidance driven by language and/or framework and/or
platform and/or …
10. Secure code review – How?
• Tool-driven
• Very mature
• Many factors to consider – cost, capability of tool, feature set,
languages supported, customizability, deployment options, …
• People-driven
• Inconsistent results – even the same person on a different day
• Checklists can help but results will vary … a lot
11. Secure design review – What do we know?
• AKA Threat Modeling
• Analysis influenced by many factors
• Type of system (web, mobile, PC, etc.)
• Frameworks used
• Interactions with external entities
• Internal risk rating of system
• This can be tricky to teach
• Not everyone can do this
12. Secure design review – How?
• Tool-driven
• There is no tool-only option – at least none that I know of
• Meaning tools don’t read artifacts you already created
• You do the design review with a tool; or in a manual fashion
• Very few choices compared to PT and SCR tools
• People-driven
• All SMEs are not created equal
• People still have bad days
13. General comments about using tools
The good…
• I can do anything I have been programmed to do
• If you teach me what to look for, I will look for it
• If I have enough resources ... if there’s no bugs in my code ...
The not so good...
• I can only do what I have been programmed to do
• I will never do anything new unless you teach me how to
do it
14. General comments about using people
The good…
• Hard to replace the human brain
• We can think outside the box
• We all think differently
The not so good…
• We are not machines
• We do not perform at the same level EVERY day
• We all think differently so different results may be
perfectly normal
16. Remember … This is just the beginning
• Defect discovery covers more than the 3 techniques we
talked about
• Defect discovery is just a part of an SSI
• You also need
• the Secure SDLC for governance and context
• the SDLC out-reach so everyone knows what to do
• the competency management so everyone can do what they need
to do
• the vendor management to control risk with 3rd-party software and
technology
• and so on for the rest of the capabilities
