The document discusses the benefits of using cloud deployment for line of business projects. It highlights that the cloud model allows companies to focus on business outcomes rather than managing servers. It also notes that cloud deployment provides disaster recovery, support, upgrades, and enhancements all managed by the cloud provider. The document then provides an example of one company, Cubist, that launched its first sourcing event on the cloud.

The world is not “one size fits all” and this is particularly true when it comes to business systems. As AIG has learned, it’s not just about “cloud” or “on premise”; rather it’s about how to merge the two into a comprehensive, efficient system. With broad source to settle initiatives, global strategies to expand compliance, and world-wide process enhancement, AIG has created a “hybrid” strategy that leverages the best of all worlds. In this round-table discussion they will share their thinking, decisions, lessons and steps taken in their quest for the “holy grail” of business efficiency.

Dissecting and Attacking RMI Frameworks

Onapsis Inc.

Distributed Object or Remote Method Invocation (RMI) frameworks facilitate the remote invocation of methods and creation of objects between systems. Conceptually RMI frameworks are similar to Remote Procedure Call (RPC) platforms. A main difference is that in RMI the client and the server work with the entire object lifecycle (i.e. creation, destruction) whereas RPC is typically limited to remote methods or procedures. RMI frameworks are interesting because they provide a remote method for object manipulation. Even though Web Services have taken the lead as the de-facto technology for communication in distributed applications, RMI frameworks are still widely used in many applications. Almost every programming language has support for one or, usually, more RMI frameworks. The proliferation of this technology made RMI interfaces very common among all sorts of software, especially across Enterprise Applications, and constitute a fruitful vector from an attacker's point of view. In this presentation we will discuss the architecture, security features and new vulnerabilities we have detected in two implementations of popular Enterprise RMI frameworks: CORBA and SAP RMI-P4. Through live demonstrations, we will demonstrate novel techniques for remote file read/write, arbitrary database access, session hijacking, and other critical bugs in large enterprise platforms, as well as the countermeasures in order to protect from these threats. We will walk you through the vulnerability research process we performed over these frameworks, enabling you to understand also how these attacks could be extended to other RMI implementations you may encounter.
