WhiteHat Security’s Website Security Statistics Report provides a one-of-a-kind perspective on the state of website security and the issues that organizations must address in order to conduct business online safely.
Website security is an ever-moving target. New website launches are common, new code is released constantly, new web technologies are created and adopted every day; as a result, new attack techniques are frequently disclosed that can put every online business at risk. In order to stay protected, enterprises must receive timely information about how they
can most efficiently defend their websites, gain visibility into
the performance of their security programs, and learn how they compare with their industry peers. Obtaining these insights
is crucial in order to stay ahead and truly improve enterprise website security.
To help, WhiteHat Security has been publishing its Website Security Statistics Report since 2006. This report is the only one that focuses exclusively on unknown vulnerabilities in custom web applications, code that is unique to an organization, and found in real-world websites. The underlying data is hundreds of terabytes in size, comprises vulnerability assessment results from tens of thousands of websites across hundreds of the most well- known organizations, and collectively represents the largest and most accurate picture of website security available. Inside this report is information about the most prevalent vulnerabilities, how many get fixed, how long the fixes can take on average, and how every application security program may measurably improve. The report is organized by industry, and is accompanied by WhiteHat Security’s expert analysis and recommendations.
No More Snake Oil: Why InfoSec Needs Security GuaranteesJeremiah Grossman
Ever notice how everything in InfoSec is sold “as is”? No guarantees, no warrantees, no return policies. For some reason in InfoSec, providing customers with a form of financial coverage for their investment is seen as gimmicky, but the tides and times are changing. This talk discusses use cases on why guarantees are a must have and how guarantees benefit customers as well as InfoSec as a whole.
Best of Both Worlds: Correlating Static and Dynamic Analysis ResultsJeremiah Grossman
One of the only guarantees in life is that the first time you analyze a piece of software for security vulnerabilities, you're going to find them. Whether you’re using static or dynamic analysis, prioritizing defects for remediation can strain any organization. This session will demonstrate methods for integrating analysis techniques and show how a combined approach gives better results.

How to Perform Continuous Vulnerability ManagementIvanti
Without treating security as an ongoing process, hackers will find, weaponize, deploy, and attack your infrastructure faster than your team can patch. At the same time, the experience of your IT team working with the security group is frustrating and leads to many, many hours of manual work. Learn how to stay ahead of the bad guys and improve the experience for your team with continuous vulnerability management.
This presentation will contrast traditional risk assessment with some emerging techniques that use internal and market risk event (incident ) data to drive a more accurate risk model.
Structuring and Scaling an Application Security ProgramDenim Group
Most organizations understand that the software they develop and deploy
exposes them to risk from attackers. However the scope of the problem can
be daunting. This talk looks at challenges organizations face when trying
to structure and scale their application security programs and looks at
strategies leading organizations have adopted to help make them
successful. Using OWASP's Open Software Assurance Maturity Model
(OpenSAMM), the presentation looks at how development teams can plan to
design and build applications securely via secure coding training,
security requirements and threat modeling and how security teams can help
evaluate the security of what development teams have produced via
automated scanning as well as manual testing. In addition, the
presentation discusses how both security and development teams can prepare
to respond to issues that will inevitably arise so that they can most
effectively diagnose and correct issues in a timely manner.

Corporate Treasurers Focus on Cyber SecurityJoan Weber
Treasury departments at large U.S. companies rank IT security as their top priority for 2015 - ahead of such critical issues as cost management and regulatory/compliance challenges.
These finding come from the results Greenwich Associates 2014 U.S. Large Corporate Finance Study, for which the firm interviewed CFOs or treasury department representatives at more than 500 large U.S. companies.
The study results suggest that U.S. companies are taking action to address security concerns and other IT issues with 63% of the participants saying their treasury departments will increase technology spending in the year ahead.
When thinking about cybersecurity, you have to move past the lone thought of data breaches. Cybersecurity should include preparing for the slew of additional threats that are out there. Take a peek at this review of today’s most prevalent cybersecurity risks and see the steps to identifying, preventing, detecting, responding to and recovering from attacks.
Similar to Where Flow Charts Don’t Go -- Website Security Statistics Report (2015) (20)
There is a serious misalignment of interests between Application Security vulnerability assessment vendors and their customers. Vendors are incentivized to report everything they possible can, even issues that rarely matter. On the other hand, customers just want the vulnerability reports that are likely to get them hacked. Every finding beyond that is a waste of time, money, and energy, which is precisely what’s happening every day.

Exploring the Psychological Mechanisms used in Ransomware Splash ScreensJeremiah Grossman
The present study examined a selection of 76 ransomware splash screens collected from a variety of sources. These splash screens were analysed according to surface information, including aspects of visual appearance, the use of language, cultural icons, payment and payment types. The results from the current study showed that, whilst there was a wide variation in the construction of ransomware splash screens, there was a good degree of commonality, particularly in terms of the structure and use of key aspects of social engineering used to elicit payment from the victims. There was the emergence of a sub-set of ransomware that, in the context of this report, was termed ‘Cuckoo’ ransomware. This type of attack often purported to be from an official source requesting payment for alleged transgressions.
What the Kidnapping & Ransom Economy Teaches Us About RansomwareJeremiah Grossman
Ransomware is center stage, as campaigns are practically guaranteed financial gain. Cyber-criminals profit hundreds of millions of dollars by selling our data back to us. If you look closely, the ransomware economic dynamics closely follow the real-world kidnapping and ransom industry. We’ll explore the eerie similarities, where ransomware is headed, and strategies we can bring to the fight.

We’ll explore the eerie similarities, where ransomware is headed, and strategies we can bring to the fight.
In the past two decades of tech booms, busts, and bubbles, two things have not changed - hackers are still nding ways to breach security measures in place, and the endpoint remains the primary target. And now, with cloud and mobile computing, endpoint devices have become the new enterprise security perimeter, so there is even more pressure to lock them down.
Companies are deploying piles of software on the endpoint to secure it - antivirus, anti- malware, desktop rewalls, intrusion detection, vulnerability management, web ltering, anti-spam, and the list goes on. Yet with all of the solutions in place, high pro le companies are still being breached. The recent attacks on large retail and hospitality organizations are prime examples, where hackers successfully used credit-card-stealing-malware targeting payment servers to collect customer credit card information.
Ransomware is Here: Fundamentals Everyone Needs to KnowJeremiah Grossman
If you’re an IT professional, you probably know at least the basics of ransomware. Instead of using malware or an exploit to exfiltrate PII from an enterprise, bad actors instead find valuable data and encrypt it. Unless you happen to have an NSA-caliber data center at your disposal to break the encryption, you must pay your attacker in cold, hard bitcoins—or else wave goodbye to your PII. Those assumptions aren’t wrong, but they also don’t tell the whole picture.
During this event we’ll discuss topics such as:
Why Ransomware is Exploding
The growth of ransomware, as opposed to garden-variety malware, is enormous. Hackers have found that they can directly monetize the data they encrypt, which eliminates the time-consuming process of selling stolen data on the Darknet. In addition, the use of ransomware requires little in the way of technical skill—because attackers don’t need to get root on a victim’s machine.
Who the Real Targets Are
Two years ago, the most newsworthy victims of ransomware were various police departments. This year, everyone is buzzing about hospitals. Is this a deliberate pattern? Probably not. Enterprises are so ill-prepared for ransomware that attackers have a green field to wreak havoc. Until the industry shapes up, bad actors will target ransomware indiscriminately.
Where Ransomware Stumbles
Although ransomware is nearly impossible to dislodge when employed correctly, you may be surprised to find that not all bad actors have the skill to do it. Even if ransomware targets your network, you may learn that your attackers have used extremely weak encryption—or that they’ve encrypted files that are entirely non-critical.
As far as ransomware is concerned, forewarned is forearmed. Once you know how attackers deliver ransomware, who they’re likely to attack, and the weaknesses in the ransomware deployment model, you’ll be able to understand how to protect your enterprise.
In this report, we put this area of application security understanding to the test by measuring how various web programming languages and development frameworks actually perform in the field. To which classes of attack are they most prone, how often and for how long; and, how do they fare against popular alternatives? Is it really true that the most popular modern languages and frameworks yield similar results in production websites?
By analyzing the vulnerability assessment results of more than 30,000 websites under management with WhiteHat Sentinel, we begin to answer these questions. These answers may enable the application security community to ask better and deeper questions, which will eventually lead to more secure websites. Organizations deploying these technologies can have a closer look at particularly risk-prone areas. Software vendors may focus on areas that are found to be lacking. Developers can increase their familiarity with the strengths and weaknesses of their technology stack. All of this is vitally important because security must be baked into development frameworks and must be virtually transparent. Only then will application security progress be made.

Online advertising networks can be a web hacker’s best friend. For mere pennies per thousand impressions (that means browsers) there are service providers who allow you to broadly distribute arbitrary javascript -- even malicious javascript! You are SUPPOSED to use this “feature” to show ads, to track users, and get clicks, but that doesn’t mean you have to abide. Absolutely nothing prevents spending $10, $100, or more to create a massive javascript-driven browser botnet instantly. The real-world power is spooky cool. We know, because we tested it… in-the-wild.
With a few lines of HTML5 and javascript code we’ll demonstrate just how you can easily commandeer browsers to perform DDoS attacks, participate in email spam campaigns, crack hashes and even help brute-force passwords. Put simply, instruct browsers to make HTTP requests they didn’t intend, even something as well-known as Cross-Site Request Forgery. With CSRF, no zero-days or malware is required. Oh, and there is no patch. The Web is supposed to work this way. Also nice, when the user leaves the page, our code vanishes. No traces. No tracks.
Before leveraging advertising networks, the reason this attack scenario didn’t worry many people is because it has always been difficult to scale up, which is to say, simultaneously control enough browsers (aka botnets) to reach critical mass. Previously, web hackers tried poisoning search engine results, phishing users via email, link spamming Facebook, Twitter and instant messages, Cross-Site Scripting attacks, publishing rigged open proxies, and malicious browser plugins. While all useful methods in certain scenarios, they lack simplicity, invisibility, and most importantly -- scale. That’s what we want! At a moment’s notice, we will show how it is possible to run javascript on an impressively large number of browsers all at once and no one will be the wiser. Today this is possible, and practical.

Recorded Webinar: https://www.whitehatsec.com/webinar/whitehat_webinar_march2713.html
Every year the security community produces a stunning amount of new Web hacking techniques that are published in various white papers, blog posts, magazine articles, mailing list emails, conference presentations, etc. Within the thousands of pages are the latest ways to attack websites, Web browsers, Web proxies, and their mobile platform equivilents. Beyond individual vulnerabilities with CVE numbers or system compromises, here we are solely focused on new and creative methods of Web-based attack. Now it its seventh year, The Top Ten Web Hacking Techniques list encourages information sharing, provides a centralized knowledge-base, and recognizes researchers who contribute excellent work. Past Top Tens and the number of new attack techniques discovered in each year:
WhiteHat Security, the Web security company, today released the twelfth installment of the WhiteHat Security Website Security Statistics Report. The report reviewed serious vulnerabilities* in websites during the 2011 calendar year, examining the severity and duration of the most critical vulnerabilities from 7,000 websites across major vertical markets. Among the findings in the report, WhiteHat research suggests that the average number of serious vulnerabilities found per website per year in 2011 was 79, a substantial reduction from 230 in 2010 and down from 1,111 in 2007. Despite the significant improvement in the state of website security, organizational challenges in creating security programs that balance breadth of coverage and depth of testing leave large-scale attack surfaces or small, but very high-risk vulnerabilities open to attackers.
The report examined data from more than 7,000 websites across over 500 organizations that are continually assessed for vulnerabilities by WhiteHat Security’s family of Sentinel Services. This process provides a real-world look at website security across a range of vertical markets, including findings from the energy and non-profit verticals for the first time this year. The metrics provided serve as a foundation for improving enterprise application security online.
Web Breaches in 2011-“This is Becoming Hourly News and Totally Ridiculous"Jeremiah Grossman
In 2011, attitude towards hacks shifted from "It happens," to "It is happening.” A poorly coded website and web application is all that’s needed to wreak havoc – expensive firewall, pervasive anti-virus and multi-factor authentication be damned. But what is possible? What types of attacks and attackers should we be mindful of? This presentation will show the real risks in a post-2011 Internet.
video demos: http://whitehatsec.com/home/assets/videos/Top10WebHacks_Webinar031711.zip
Many notable and new Web hacking techniques were revealed in 2010. During this presentation, Jeremiah Grossman will describe the technical details of the top hacks from 2010, as well as some of the prevalent security issues emerging in 2011. Attendees will be treated to a step-by-step guided tour of the newest threats targeting today's corporate websites and enterprise users.
The top attacks in 2010 include:
• 'Padding Oracle' Crypto Attack
• Evercookie
• Hacking Auto-Complete
• Attacking HTTPS with Cache Injection
• Bypassing CSRF protections with ClickJacking and HTTP Parameter Pollution
• Universal XSS in IE8
• HTTP POST DoS
• JavaSnoop
• CSS History Hack In Firefox Without JavaScript for Intranet Portscanning
• Java Applet DNS Rebinding
Mr. Grossman will then briefly identify real-world examples of each of these vulnerabilities in action, outlining how the issue occurs, and what preventative measures can be taken. With that knowledge, he will strategize what defensive solutions will have the most impact.
Website attacks continue to prevail despite the best efforts of enterprises to fight them. Websites are an ongoing business concern and security must be assured all the time, not just at a point in time. And yet, most websites were exposed to at least one serious vulnerability every day of 2010, leaving valuable corporate and customer date at risk. Why?
In this report, Jeremiah will explore a new way to measure website security, Windows of Exposure, that tracks an organization’s current and historical website security posture. Window of Exposure is a useful combination of vulnerability prevalence, how long vulnerabilities take to get fixed, and the percentage of them that are remediated. By carefully tracking these metrics, an organization can determine where resources would be best invested.
Using data from WhiteHat’s 11th Website Security Statistics Report, based on assessments of over 3,000 websites, Grossman will reveal the most secure (and insecure) vertical markets and the Windows of Exposure of each. Find out how your industry ranks, and the top ten vulnerabilities plaguing your peers. Learn how to determine which metrics are critical to increasing their remediation rates, thereby limiting their Window of Exposure. The good news is that companies that take this approach are increasing remediation rates by 5 percent per year.

Identifying Web Servers: A First-look Into the Future of Web Server Fingerprinting
Jeremiah Grossman, Founder & Chairman of WhiteHat Security, Inc.
Many diligent security professionals take active steps to limit the amount of system specific information a publicly available system may yield to a remote user. These preventative measures may take the form of modifying service banners, firewalls, web site information, etc.
Software utilities such as NMap have given the security community an excellent resource to discover what type of Operating System and version is listening on a particular IP. This process is achieved by mapping subtle, yet, distinguishable nuances unique to each OS. But, this is normally where the fun ends, as NMap does not enable we user's to determine what version of services are listening. This is up to us to guess or to find out through other various exploits.
This is where we start our talk, fingerprinting Web Servers. These incredibly diverse and useful widespread services notoriously found listening on port 80 and 443 just waiting to be explored. Many web servers by default will readily give up the type and version of the web server via the "Server" HTTP response header. However, many administrators aware of this fact have become increasingly clever in recent months by removing or altering any and all traces of this telltale information.
These countermeasures lead us to the obvious question; could it STILL possible to determine a web servers platform and version even after all known methods of information leakage prevention have been exhausted (either by hack or configuration)?
The simple answer is "yes"; it is VERY possible to still identify the web server. But, the even more interesting question is; just how much specific information can we obtain remotely?
Are we able to determine?
* Supported HTTP Request Methods.
* Current Service Pack.
* Patch Levels.
* Configuarations.
* If an Apache Server suffers from a "chunked" vulnerability.
Is really possible to determine this specific information using a few simple HTTP requests? Again, the simple answer is yes, the possibility exists.
Proof of concept tools and command line examples will be demonstrated throughout the talk to illustrate these new ideas and techniques. Various countermeasures will also be explored to protect your IIS or Apache web server from various fingerprinting techniques.
Prerequisites:
General understanding of Web Server technology and HTTP.

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.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).
