Virtualized Firewall: Is it the panacea to secure distributed enterprises?Zscaler
Your applications are moving to the cloud, and your firewall is sure to follow. The concept of only protecting your network no longer makes sense. But, can a virtualized firewall adequately secure organizations as they become more and more distributed? What are your options to determine where your firewalls will reside? How can you evaluate which solution is best for your enterprise?
As security professionals, how can we be sure that we’re ready for 2019? After the last few years, when our practices and conventions have been tested again and again, it’s a little daunting to consider what may face us in the year ahead. Will attackers set their sights on cloud apps? Will hackers join forces with organized crime? Will governments look to the private sector to deal with the skills gap? What will happen to cybersecurity budgets? Join us to get answers to these questions and more.

Secure access to applications on Microsoft AzureZscaler
Today 34% of enterprises are running applications within Azure Cloud. That's up 14% from last year! The problem is that Enterprise Networking and Security teams still rely on the VPN to provide remote access to the network for their mobile users. The VPN, famous for giving users a poor user experience, breaks the cloud experience, exposes the network to employees while driving costs and complexity when migrating apps to Azure.
Rethinking Application Security for cloud-native eraPriyanka Aash
Cloud native applications are API driven and are based on distributed microservices. APIs are the gateway to your business and expose a lot of the business logic to the outside world. Legacy solutions to understand your applications security posture are not applicable to these modern continuously changing environments
Shadow IT is often used in a derogatory manner, but what if the apps and services a company's employees are bringing into the enterprise were actually the secret to their success? What if the efficiency and productivity gains your company is experiencing are owed, in part, to these apps that IT isn't responsible for sourcing and enabling? In this presentation Netskope discusses the challenges and opportunities that come from the use of rogue apps in the enterprise and how IT can turn the corner and end the catch-22 between enablement and security.
Forrester Research: Securing the Cloud When Users are Left to Their Own DevicesNetskope
90% of cloud apps in the enterprise are being used without IT’s knowledge. Whether brought in by individuals or lines of business, there’s an average of 508 apps per enterprise and more than 5,000 in the world from which people can choose. Where things get even more interesting is when cloud and mobile combine and the opportunity for data loss and breaches multiply.
These slides are from a webinar where leading identity management, cloud security, and fraud management expert Andras Cser from Forrester and Netskope’s Sr. Director of Product Marketing Bob Gilbert talk about the importance of understanding which employees are using which cloud apps and from where they’re accessing them.

Many companies today are no longer content to conduct business in their immediate geographical region. Many are expanding into different global markets, either by having an employee work from their home in another city to opening an entire branch office. Furthermore, they are accessing their information at the coffee shop, hotel, or at the airport.
However, when workers use the public Wi-Fi signal, their devices are vulnerable to attacks, such as fake wireless access points and cookie theft. As covered in a previous blog, “Hacker Tricks: How You Can Protect Yourself,” hackers steal confidential data, scrape login information, take credit card numbers, install malware, and even take over your device. A Virtual Private Network can prevent many of these problems.
Many IT teams used an “M&M” approach to design network security: create a hard shell or perimeter around the soft interior. For remote users, traditional L3 VPNs extend that perimeter, placing remote users' endpoints directly onto the enterprise network. This puts the enterprise's network and data at risk from a range of threats - compromised credentials can lead to unintended exposure, as attackers move laterally throughout the network environment.
Cloud vs. On-Premises Security: Can you afford not to switch?Zscaler
As the cloud transforms enterprise IT, it brings a lot more savings than cold hard cash. No question, reducing infrastructure costs is the #1 attraction to cloud. But there are two other cost dimensions with huge impact on security that must not be ignored. The payoffs depend on whether you approach security with a cloud vs. on-premises model. An organization’s choices are crucial – both for enterprise security and for the roles of its stakeholders.

Rajarshi Gupta at AI Frontiers : Security is AI’s biggest challenge, AI is Se...AI Frontiers
The progress of AI in the last decade has seemed almost magical. But we will discuss the unique challenges posed by Security and what makes this domain the biggest challenge for AI. Reporting from the frontlines, we will describe the deployment of large-scale production-grade AI systems to combat security breaches, using lessons learned at Avast from defending over 400 million consumers every single day. Topics will cover the recent AI advancements in file-based anti-malware solutions, behavior-based on-device solutions, and network-based IoT security solutions.
An overview of security and privacy challenges that must be faced and solved when creating new Things for the Internet of Things. We discussed why are Things inherently insecure together with examples of attack vectors and learned some risk mitigation strategies. We realized why should users be wary of Things violating their privacy and gained awareness of upcoming EU privacy legislation that affects providers of IoT-based solutions. Talk given at Pixels Camp 2017, Lisbon.
The growth of embedded systems connecting to the Internet or "Internet of Things" (IoT) increases year by year. Thus, the IoT ecosystems become new targets of the attackers. This presentation will talk about the basic principle of information security, why we need to secure IoT ecosystems, and also the vulnerabilities and solutions from OWASP.

Behind the Curtain: Exposing Advanced ThreatsCisco Canada
Today's advanced threats hide in plain sight, patiently waiting to strike, challenging security teams to track their progress across their network and endpoints. Meanwhile, executive and board-level reporting requirements are increasing as leadership demands in-depth answers that are unavailable from today’s block/allow security tools. With 55% of organizations unable to identify the origin of their last security breach, it’s time to stop relying on tools that define security based on what they see ‘out there’ and instead hunt for threats by tracking files, file relationships, and both endpoint and network behavior ‘in here’—inside your environment. In the first part of this interactive session, learn how Cisco’s Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) solutions use big data analytics to compare a real-time, dynamic history of your environment to the global threat landscape, automatically uncovering and blocking advanced threats before they strike. Then watch workflow examples demonstrating how your security team can use this advanced visibility and control to dramatically improve their efficiency and finally deliver the business 100% confidence answers.

In software engineering, the right architecture is essential for robust, scalable platforms. Wix has undergone a pivotal shift from event sourcing to a CRUD-based model for its microservices. This talk will chart the course of this pivotal journey.
Event sourcing, which records state changes as immutable events, provided robust auditing and "time travel" debugging for Wix Stores' microservices. Despite its benefits, the complexity it introduced in state management slowed development. Wix responded by adopting a simpler, unified CRUD model. This talk will explore the challenges of event sourcing and the advantages of Wix's new "CRUD on steroids" approach, which streamlines API integration and domain event management while preserving data integrity and system resilience.
Participants will gain valuable insights into Wix's strategies for ensuring atomicity in database updates and event production, as well as caching, materialization, and performance optimization techniques within a distributed system.
Join us to discover how Wix has mastered the art of balancing simplicity and extensibility, and learn how the re-adoption of the modest CRUD has turbocharged their development velocity, resilience, and scalability in a high-growth environment.

Providing Globus Services to Users of JASMIN for Environmental Data AnalysisGlobus
JASMIN is the UK’s high-performance data analysis platform for environmental science, operated by STFC on behalf of the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). In addition to its role in hosting the CEDA Archive (NERC’s long-term repository for climate, atmospheric science & Earth observation data in the UK), JASMIN provides a collaborative platform to a community of around 2,000 scientists in the UK and beyond, providing nearly 400 environmental science projects with working space, compute resources and tools to facilitate their work. High-performance data transfer into and out of JASMIN has always been a key feature, with many scientists bringing model outputs from supercomputers elsewhere in the UK, to analyse against observational or other model data in the CEDA Archive. A growing number of JASMIN users are now realising the benefits of using the Globus service to provide reliable and efficient data movement and other tasks in this and other contexts. Further use cases involve long-distance (intercontinental) transfers to and from JASMIN, and collecting results from a mobile atmospheric radar system, pushing data to JASMIN via a lightweight Globus deployment. We provide details of how Globus fits into our current infrastructure, our experience of the recent migration to GCSv5.4, and of our interest in developing use of the wider ecosystem of Globus services for the benefit of our user community.
How to Position Your Globus Data Portal for Success Ten Good PracticesGlobus
Science gateways allow science and engineering communities to access shared data, software, computing services, and instruments. Science gateways have gained a lot of traction in the last twenty years, as evidenced by projects such as the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) and the Center of Excellence on Science Gateways (SGX3) in the US, The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) and its platforms in Australia, and the projects around Virtual Research Environments in Europe. A few mature frameworks have evolved with their different strengths and foci and have been taken up by a larger community such as the Globus Data Portal, Hubzero, Tapis, and Galaxy. However, even when gateways are built on successful frameworks, they continue to face the challenges of ongoing maintenance costs and how to meet the ever-expanding needs of the community they serve with enhanced features. It is not uncommon that gateways with compelling use cases are nonetheless unable to get past the prototype phase and become a full production service, or if they do, they don't survive more than a couple of years. While there is no guaranteed pathway to success, it seems likely that for any gateway there is a need for a strong community and/or solid funding streams to create and sustain its success. With over twenty years of examples to draw from, this presentation goes into detail for ten factors common to successful and enduring gateways that effectively serve as best practices for any new or developing gateway.

A Comprehensive Look at Generative AI in Retail App Testing.pdfkalichargn70th171
Traditional software testing methods are being challenged in retail, where customer expectations and technological advancements continually shape the landscape. Enter generative AI—a transformative subset of artificial intelligence technologies poised to revolutionize software testing.
First Steps with Globus Compute Multi-User EndpointsGlobus
In this presentation we will share our experiences around getting started with the Globus Compute multi-user endpoint. Working with the Pharmacology group at the University of Auckland, we have previously written an application using Globus Compute that can offload computationally expensive steps in the researcher's workflows, which they wish to manage from their familiar Windows environments, onto the NeSI (New Zealand eScience Infrastructure) cluster. Some of the challenges we have encountered were that each researcher had to set up and manage their own single-user globus compute endpoint and that the workloads had varying resource requirements (CPUs, memory and wall time) between different runs. We hope that the multi-user endpoint will help to address these challenges and share an update on our progress here.

Best Practices for the Expert
• Research the capabilities and security features of an IoT device before purchase.
• Perform an audit of IoT devices used on your network.
• Change the default credentials on devices.
• Use a strong encryption method when setting up Wi-Fi network access (WPA2).
• Many devices come with a variety of services enabled by default. Disable features and
services that are not required.
• Disable Telnet login and use SSH where possible.
Modify the default privacy and security settings of IoT devices according to your
requirements.
• Disable or protect remote access to IoT devices when not needed.
• Use wired connections instead of wireless where possible.
• Regularly check the manufacturer’s website for firmware
• updates.
• Ensure that a hardware outage does not result in an unsecure state of the device.

Looking at the most prevalent malware highlights, the impact of generic or heuristic malware detections is notable, with them accounting for 9 out of the top 10 types of malware detected on the endpoint in 2016. However, it’s important to note the prominence of JS.Downloader and W97M.Downloader, which are new entries in this year’s prevalence list.
In 2016, Symantec observed a large number of email campaigns distributing ransomware and online banking threats via malicious Office macro (W97M.Downloader) and JavaScript downloader files (JS.Downloader). Between them they have accounted for almost 6 million detections on the endpoint in 2016 and have dominated the cybercrime threat landscape, particularly in the latter half of the year.

Bots and botnets are a key tool in the cyber attacker’s arsenal. When controlled and used in concert, these devices form powerful bot networks (botnets). Made up of many infected devices, including everything from computers to smartphones, routers and security cameras, botnets are used to spread malware, generate spam, and commit other types of online crime and fraud. They can also be used to capture personal information like log-ins or banking details.
Some botnets might have a few hundred or a couple thousand devices, but others have hundreds of thousands, even millions, at their disposal.

Clickfraud
They send- spam- viruses- spyware
They steal personal and private information and communicate it back to the malicious user:
- passwords- credit card numbers- bank credentials- other sensitive personal information
Launching denial of service (DDoS) attacks against a specified target. Cybercriminals extort money from Web site owners, in exchange for regaining control of the compromised sites.More commonly, however, the systems of everyday users are the targets of these attacks -- for the simple thrill of the bot-herder.
Fraudsters use bots to boost Web advertising billings by automatically clicking on Internet ads.
Mirai first came to public attention in September when the botnet was used for a huge DDoS attack on Brian Krebs’ website. That attack peaked at 620 Gbps, making it the biggest DDoS attack ever reported at that time. However, a few days later, reports emerged about an earlier attack on French hosting company OVH that was reported to have peaked at 1 Tbps. However, it was a DDoS attack on DNS company Dyn in October that put Mirai on the front page. The attack on Dyn crippled many of the world’s leading websites, including Netflix, Twitter, and PayPal.
The attack showed how powerful a DDoS attack using IoT devices could be and raised questions about what it might mean if attackers decided to target industrial control systems or critical national infrastructure.
Mirai works by continuously scanning for IoT devices that are accessible over the internet and protected by factory default or hardcoded user names and passwords. It then infects them with malware that forces them to report to a central control server, turning them into a bot that can be used in DDoS attacks.
The source code for Mirai was made publicly available at the end of September. It was posted to HackForums by a user with the handle Anna-senpai on September 30. As expected, the revelation of the source code resulted in the creation of other Mirai variants.
In late November, a variant of Mirai crippled internet access for nearly 1 million home internet users in Germany. This variant attacked a number of routers where TCP port 7547 was accessible remotely on the device, while also exploiting a weakness in the CPE WAN Management Protocol. Similar routers used by Irish company Eir were also believed to have been vulnerable to the same attack.
With this first variant appearing less than two months after the source code was made public, it would be reasonable to assume that it is just the tip of what could be a very large iceberg.
With Gartner predicting that there will be more than 20 billion IoT devices in the world by 2020, it’s important that security problems be addressed or campaigns like Mirai could be seen on an even larger scale. Additionally, the profile of IoT devices is likely to change. As connected cars and connected medical devices become more commonplace, attacker motives are also likely to change.
Attacks using IoT devices also lower the barriers to entry for cybercriminals. There is much less security for attackers to overcome when trying to take over an IoT device. Unlike a desktop computer or laptop, which will typically have security software installed and receive automatic security updates, an IoT device’s only protection may be an easily-guessed default user name and password. Currently, the poor security on IoT devices is just making life easier for cybercriminals.
But we should not focus just on Mirai. There are also at least 17 other IoT malware families that are actively compromising devices.
Analysis of honeypot data also meant it was possible to determine the countries from which attacks on the honeypot were initiated. These metrics measure the countries in which the IP address of the attacking device was based, but this doesn’t necessarily mean the attackers themselves were based in these countries.
Security is often not a priority for the device manufacturer. This leads to poor practices such as the use of default passwords and open ports, which the users do not, or cannot, change.
They typically don’t have built-in mechanisms to receive automatic firmware updates, resulting in vulnerabilities being left unpatched.
They are often forgotten about once installed. This means that their owners are unaware when devices are being used for malicious purposes and have little incentive to apply firmware updates.
Default passwords are still the biggest security weakness for IoT devices. The password most commonly tried by attackers is “admin”. This means that attackers know what the default passwords are, and that they have most likely not been changed.
Symantec established an IoT honeypot in late 2015 to track attack attempts against IoT devices. Data gathered from this honeypot shows howIoT attacks are gathering steam and how IoT devices are firmly in the sights of attackers.
Attacks on Symantec’s Internet of Things honeypot almost doubled from January to December 2016. An average of almost 4.6 unique IP addresses were hitting the honeypot every hour in January, but this increased to an average of just over 8.8 in December. At times of peak activity, when Mirai was expanding rapidly, attacks on the honeypot were taking place every two minutes.
