Web App Security Presentation by Ryan Holland - 05-31-2017TriNimbus
Web App Security - A presentation by Ryan Holland, Sr. Director, Cloud Architecture at Alert Logic for the Vancouver AWS User Group Meetup on May 31, 2017.
Everyone has at least one password, but that's not enough anymore. When is that not enough? Passwords get out of your hands all the time. You know your password, but what about using something you have in addition to what you know. Let's look at how you can leverage your mobile device for added security, and implement it in your projects. This talk will cover how two factor auth works, how to use it and the ins and outs of rolling your own solution using Time-based One-time Password (TOTP) (and the Google Authenticator app) or a third party service and the pitfalls of both. AWS, Mailchimp, Dropbox and Facebook integrate two factor authentication and you can too! There's no reason not to use it!
Primer on DNS tunneling used as a vector for data theft via malware and insider threats with mitigation techniques and pointers on improving outbound DNS security architecture.
Secure Enterprise APIs for Mobile, Cloud & Open Web
APIs present enterprises with many business opportunities but they also create new attack vectors that hackers can potentially exploit. APIs share many of the same threats that plague the Web but APIs are fundamentally different from Web sites and have an entirely unique risk profile that must be addressed.
By adopting a secure API architecture from the beginning, it is possible to address both old and new threats. In this webinar, Scott Morrison – CTO at Layer 7 Technologies – will explain in detail how an enterprise can pursue its API publishing strategy without compromising the security of its on-premise systems and data.
You Will Learn
How APIs increase the attack surface
What key types of risk are introduced by APIs
How enterprises can mitigate each of these risks
Why it is crucial to separate API implementation and security into distinct tiers

By the time you leave this presentation, you will be able to go back to your office and wow your co-workers with the amazing new proxy skills that you've acquired.
Web sever environmentA Web server is a program that uses HTTP (Hy.pdfaquacareser
Web sever environment:
A Web server is a program that uses HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) to serve the files that
form Web pages to users, in response to their requests, which are forwarded by their computers\'
HTTP clients. Dedicated computers and appliances may be referred to as Web servers as
well.The process is an example of the client/server model. All computers that host Web sites
must have Web server programs. Leading Web servers include Apache (the most widely-
installed Web server), Microsoft\'s Internet Information Server (IIS) and nginx
(pronouncedengine X) from NGNIX. Other Web servers include Novell\'s NetWare server,
Google Web Server (GWS) and IBM\'s family of Domino servers. Web servers often come as
part of a larger package of Internet- and intranet-related programs for serving email,
downloading requests for File Transfer Protocol (FTP) files, and building and publishing Web
pages. Considerations in choosing a Web server include how well it works with the operating
system and other servers, its ability to handle server-side programming, security characteristics,
and the particular publishing, search engine and site building tools that come with it.
Advantages of using a web server within your development environment:
Problems posed by web server environment and methods to solve:
Various high-profile hacking attacks have proven that web security remains the most critical
issue to any business that conducts its operations online. Web servers are one of the most
targeted public faces of an organization, because of the sensitive data they usually host. Securing
a web server is as important as securing the website or web application itself and the network
around it. If you have a secure web application and an insecure web server, or vice versa, it still
puts your business at a huge risk. Your company’s security is as strong as its weakest point.
Although securing a web server can be a daunting operation and requires specialist expertise, it is
not an impossible task. Long hours of research and an overdose of coffee and take away food,
can save you from long nights at the office, headaches and data breaches in the future. Irrelevant
of what web server software and operating system you are running, an out of the box
configuration is usually insecure. Therefore one must take some necessary steps in order to
increase web server security. Below is a list of tasks one should follow when securing a web
server.
1. Remove Unnecessary Services
Default operating system installations and configurations, are not secure. In a typical default
installation, many network services which won’t be used in a web server configuration are
installed, such as remote registry services, print server service, RAS etc. The more services
running on an operating system, the more ports will be left open, thus leaving more open doors
for malicious users to abuse. Switch off all unnecessary services and disable them, so next time
the server is rebooted, they .

Web API or WCF - An Architectural ComparisonAdnan Masood
ASP.NET Web API is a framework that makes it easy to build HTTP services that reach a broad range of clients, including browsers and mobile devices. The new ASP.NET Web API is a continuation of the previous WCF Web API projection. WCF was originally created to enable SOAP-based services and other related bindings. However, for simpler RESTful or RPCish services (think clients like jQuery) ASP.NET Web API is a good choice.
In this meeting we discussed what do you need to understand as an architect to implement your service oriented architecture using WCF or ASP.NET web API. With code samples, we will elaborate on WCF Web API’s transition to ASP.NET Web API and respective constructs such as Service vs. Web API controller, Operation vs. Action, URI templates vs ASP.NET Routing, Message handlers, Formatters and Operation handlers vs Filters, model binders. WebApi offers support for modern HTTP programming model with full support for ASP.NET Routing, content negotiation and custom formatters, model binding and validation, filters, query composition, is easy to unit test and offers improved Inversion of Control (IoC) via DependencyResolver.
You will walk away with a sample set of services that run on Silverlight, Windows Forms, WPF, Windows Phone and ASP.NET.
Don't Drop the SOAP: Real World Web Service Testing for Web Hackers Tom Eston
Over the years web services have become an integral part of web and mobile applications. From critical business applications like SAP to mobile applications used by millions, web services are becoming more of an attack vector than ever before. Unfortunately, penetration testers haven't kept up with the popularity of web services, recent advancements in web service technology, testing methodologies and tools. In fact, most of the methodologies and tools currently available either don't work properly, are poorly designed or don't fully test for real world web service vulnerabilities. In addition, environments for testing web service tools and attack techniques have been limited to home grown solutions or worse yet, production environments.
In this presentation Tom, Josh and Kevin will discuss the new security issues with web services and release an updated web service testing methodology that will be integrated into the OWASP testing guide, new Metasploit modules and exploits for attacking web services and a open source vulnerable web service for the Samurai-WTF (Web Testing Framework) that can be used by penetration testers to test web service attack tools and techniques.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
