How to Get the Fastest Possible Citrix Logon Times? Optimization Tips for ...eG Innovations
Logon is a user's first interaction with the Citrix digital workspace service, and hence, a slow logon can influence a user's opinion of the service in a way that no other metric can. Therefore, logon time is the #1 key performance indicator (KPI) in Citrix environments.
Slow logons have an impact not just on user perception, but also productivity. When each logon takes minutes — maybe on multiple systems — it results in lost work time and costs the business. So, it is imperative that logons be as quick and non-intrusive as possible. But how can we make this happen?
Learn some of the best practices for Citrix logon time optimization.

How to Extend Microsoft SCOM to Monitor & Diagnose the Performance of Citrix,...eG Innovations
Microsoft System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) is a leading platform for performance monitoring and management of Microsoft applications (such as Active Directory, Microsoft SQL Server, Exchange Server, IIS and SharePoint). However, SCOM does not have extensive capabilities to monitor non-Microsoft systems and applications (like Citrix, SAP, Oracle, Java, Sybase, etc.), nor does SCOM have virtualization-awareness for platforms like VMware vSphere, Citrix XenServer, Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization, AIX LPARs and Solaris LDOMs, or virtual desktops (VDI).
To extend the scope of Microsoft SCOM to manage these environments, enterprises have to look at multiple third party products that provide individual management packs, one for each specific non-Microsoft platform. This traditional "multi-pack approach" creates complexity and only provides a fragmented view of the IT infrastructure. This approach leads to slow problem isolation and diagnosis, and often results in poor user experience and loss of user productivity.
Join performance monitoring expert Srinivas Ramanathan (CEO, eG Innovations) to learn about eG Enterprise for SCOM, a new universal management pack that fills this gap and provides a single, integrated solution with SCOM to address the performance management needs of today's enterprises. This webinar presentation will show you how to:
• Monitor and troubleshoot the entire IT service infrastructure end to end from the SCOM console
• Monitor applications and platforms not natively supported by System Center Operations Manager
• Instantly diagnose and get actionable insight into IT service health and performance
• Provide automatic, rapid root cause diagnosis for even the most complex performance problems
• Receive proactive problem detection and alerting before users call
• Maximize the return on your investment in System Center Operations Manager

Security automation simplified: an intro to DIY security automationMoses Schwartz
As presented at BSidesSF 2019!
Security automation can look a lot like magic, and many feel a strong temptation to go buy $HOT_SECURITY_ORCHESTRATION_PRODUCT, but it's really not hard to get started automating SecOps with the tools you already have, free and open source tools, and a little bit of code. In this talk I will give a high level view of how a SecOps or other IT group can use automation to save time and effort. I'll walk through an example, with screenshots and code, of how to automate an ops process. I want to remove the magic from automation and present concrete ways for any ops team to do this. This is not a "no code required!" approach to automation, but it's practical and easy enough to get started.

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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Windows 7 Application Compatibility
1. How to Design Windows 7 Compatible Application (User Account Control) Windows 7 Application Compatibility Webcast Series Presenter: Michal Morciniec, Partner Support, Microsoft micham@microsoft.com Monday, October 26, 2009 1 Microsoft Confidential
2. Agenda Windows Application Compatibility Roadmap Top Compatibility Issues XP Win 7 Resources for Partners
3.
4. Windows 7 Builds on Windows VistaDeployment, Testing, and Pilots Today Will Continue to Pay Off Few Changes: Most software that runs on Windows Vista will run on Windows 7 - exceptions will be low level code (AV, Firewall, Imaging, etc). Hardware that runs Windows Vista well will run Windows 7 well. Windows 7 Few Changes: Focus on quality and reliability improvements Deep Changes: New models for security, drivers, deployment, and networking
10. Why Version 6.1? Some applications only check dwMajorVersion Some applications tried to do the right thing, but implemented it INCORRECTLY if (majorVersion >= 5 && minorVersion >= 1)
11. Version Checking Best Practices Do not perform version checks for equality If you need a feature, check for the feature Check for Windows XP or later (>= 5.1) Exceptions occur when there is a business or legal reason do a version check, e.g. a regulatory body requires you to certify your application for each operating system and version Check Windows 7 Training Kit forDeveloperfor sample code
12. Movingfrom XP to Windows 7 Monday, October 26, 2009 10 Microsoft Confidential UAC
13. UserAccountTypes Built-in (local machine) Administrator Disabled by default Runs with “Full token” Protected Administrator User in Administrators group Runs with “Split token” Standard User or Limited User Account None of the above Does not have administrator privileges 11
24. Windows 7 UAC Control Settings New settings: Top Setting – Vista behaviour 2nd – Does not prompt for Windows binaries 3rd as 2nd+prompts on User Desktop 4th-UAC disabled Monday, October 26, 2009 18 Microsoft Confidential
25. Windows 7 UAC and Auto-Elevation Middlesettings use auto elevation Windows Publishing Certificatesignedbinaries In “secure” location %SystemRoot%ystem32 Some %ProgramFiles% subdirs (Windows Defender, Windows Journal OnHardcodedList (Pkgmgr.exe, Migwiz.exe) Monday, October 26, 2009 19 Microsoft Confidential sigcheck -m
26. UAC and Security Policy (W7 and Vista) As in Vista certain UAC behaviour can be controlled through Security Policy Prompt Behaviour for Admins/Standard Users Installer detection heuristics Switching to secure desktop when Prompting File and Registry Virtualization Ex. : Disable OTS Dialog for Standard Users (Automatically deny elevation requests) Monday, October 26, 2009 20 Microsoft Confidential
27. Movingfrom XP to Windows 7 Monday, October 26, 2009 21 Microsoft Confidential UAC UI Goals -Shield
28. UI Goals: Simple & Predictable 1 Make application Standard user only 2 Clearly identify Administrative tasks Ensure Standard users can be fully productive Identify tasks that need elevation with a “shield”
29. UI: The Shield Attached to controls to indicate that elevation is required to use their associated feature Has only one state (i.e. no hover, disabled etc.) Does not remember elevated state Not an unlock operation Can be programmatically set: IDI_SHIELD icon resource BCM_SETSHIELD button message See: Enabling UAC Elevation in .Net applications (elevating process, dispaying shield , etc.)
31. Movingfrom XP to Windows 7 Monday, October 26, 2009 25 Microsoft Confidential UAC UI Goals –Shield MIC
32. Mandatory Integrity Control (MIC) Traditional NT security model revolves around process token Windows Vista/Win7 enhances this with MIC: Each process gets a MIC level All resources get a MIC level (medium is default) There are four levels: 0: Low (IE with Protected Mode On) 1: Medium (Standard User) 2: High (Elevated User) 3: System (System Services)
33. MIC and Resources MIC levels apply to: Processes Objects COM components Services Files Registry keys View MIC level on files and other resources using “accesschk –i” (Sysinternals tool) IE currently only application that has a MIC level of Low All IE resources need low as well
34. MIC, Simplified Object can have an integrity label Stored in its Security Descriptor Processes run at an integrity level (IL) Stored in its Access Token Process cannot access object if their IL is lower than the object’s label Part of the access check
35. Integrity Labels -Policies Every securable object has one Includes Level and Policy Policies can include: No-Write-Up: Lower IL can’t write to object No-Read-Up: Lower IL can’t read object No-Execute-Up: Lower IL can’t execute object No label = Medium + No-Write-Up Processes are No-Write-Up + No-Read-Up
36. MIC And Access Checks Process IL + access requested matched against object label If Process IL >= Object’s label, go onto DACL check If Process IL < Object’s label, and Object policy includes… and access requested includes…
37. Access CheckExample – With MIC"Who am I" – Identity + trust level R+W Request Access: Read + Write Internet Explorer [LOW IL] Toby’s Startup Folder Medium (NW) Request Access: Read + Write MS Money [Medium IL]

39. Movingfrom XP to Windows 7 Monday, October 26, 2009 34 Microsoft Confidential UAC UI Goals –Shield MIC Virtualization
40. Virtualization Intended for existing legacy applications and may be removed in a future OS version 32-bit legacy interactive applications that write to administrator locations HKLMoftware; %SystemDrive%rogram Files %WinDir%ystem32 Redirected to: HKCUoftwarelassesirtualStore %LocalAppData%irtualStorebr />Redirection removes need for elevation Writes to HKLM go to HKCU redirected store Writes to system directories redirected to per-user store Different from registry keys redirection for 32-bit applications on x64 under WOW64…
41. Virtualization - Details Registry Keys Virtualization Does not work if: Process is 64 bit Process is impersonating a user Process specified requestedExecutionLevel in manifest Process is non-interactive (e.g.:Windows Service) File Virtualization Does not work if: File is of executable type -examples: .aspx, .bin,.cmd,.exe, .hlp, .msi, .ocx, .sys, .tlb, .wsh Monday, October 26, 2009 36 Partner Ready
44. WRP (Windows ResourceProtection) General mechanism that protects certain OS resources, e.g. Windowsystem32ernel32.dll NT SERVICErustedInstaller has Full Access SfcIsKeyProtected() lets you detect if registry key is WRP protected SfcIsFileProtected() lets you detect if file is WRP protected Windows Module Installer (TrustedInstaller.exe) is used to update OS components There is no API for ISVs to interact with it Local Administrator can take “ownership” of protected resource eliminating WRP so WRP is not a security measure Applications / Installers Should not modify WRP protected resources
45. Movingfrom XP to Windows 7 Monday, October 26, 2009 40 Microsoft Confidential UAC MIC Virtualization WRP Folder Locations
46. Folder Locations User data: sersusername%br />Pictures, Music, Documents, Desktop, and Favorites directly under this structure “My “ prefix dropped (but Windows 7 displays it again in Explorer…) “All Users” “Public” or “rogramData”
47. Where Should I Store Data? SHGetKnownFolderPath Constants See: Where Should I Write Program Data Instead of Program Files?
48. Folder Location Best Practices Never hard code absolute paths AppVerifier includes a test Script: environment variables Unmanaged code (C, C++) ShGetFolderPath function (CLSID_...) SHGetKnownFolderPath (FOLDERID_...) Managed code (C#, VB.NET) System.Environment.GetFolderPath Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.SpecialDirectories My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories
49. Movingfrom XP to Windows 7 Monday, October 26, 2009 44 Microsoft Confidential UAC MIC Virtualization WRP Folder Locations ApplicationManifest
50. Vista / Win 7 “Aware” Application Vista/Win 7-aware applications embed an XML manifest Standard item in VS 2008 Projects Disables all mitigations Manifest contains a RequestedExecutionLevel:
52. Finding/Solving UAC Issues Do you? Write to Program Files, Windows, System32, HKLM/Software, or Root? Create anything “globally” (System wide) Use Windows messages between isolation levels Try Running the application “As Administrator” Testing with UAC off Tools Process Monitor Standard User Analyzer
53. Windows Services and Session 0 In Windows® XP, Windows Services and user applications execute together in Session 0. From Windows Vista®, Windows Services are isolated in Session 0 User Application execute in Session 1, Session 2, etc. (“fast user switching” and Terminal Services)
54. Session Separation Session 0 in Windows XP / Windows Server 2003 Session 0 / Session 1 in Windows Vista+
55. Related Issues Windows Messages cannot cross Desktop boundaries (and therefore session) Windows Services cannot show UI (being in a different session!) Access control (MIC) adds complexity to possible solutions.
