Corporations are becoming more and more aware of the risks facing them in the expanded Environment of Business now facing them. Increasingly management is taking a risk management role and IT management is being called to assist at corporate and strategic risk management levels and IT Audit are being required to provide professional opinions and recommendations on IT risk areas.
Red team is a commonly misunderstood offensive security discipline. Red team has been used as a general term for all areas of offensive security just as blue team for defensive security. True red teaming goes Beyond Pentesting and into more adversarial emulation. While there are overlapping skills, there are differences that will be discussed as Phillip shares his experience of going from a pentester to a red teamer. In this talk, you will learn about the different areas that make up red team operations, common tools, and the path to becoming a red teamer. In this presentation, you will learn about resources helpful for a path into red teaming.
CMMC is the new DoD framework for cyber defense, the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification, and it will shortly be mandated across the DoD supply chain. Not only mandated but it will require an independent third-party audit to confirm that compliance, a massive change from the current world of self-attestation, and corrective plans. By design, this is going to drive a much higher level of cyber compliance across the Defense Industrial Base (DIB), and that means not just some, but a vast majority of companies will have to make significant changes and investments to meet these requirements. It also appears this will not be limited to DoD. There is already discussion and some action to mandate CMMC compliance and audits in other areas of Federal government contracting. This talk will discuss the compliance and security journey of one company.
In my career, I’ve had the opportunity to help build the security program for a startup which suddenly became successful enough to become a target. Also, more number of transactions brought it into the ambit of Level 2 PCI compliance, with Level 1 projected in near future. Joining as the second hire to the Tech Security & Compliance team after the CISO, I helped roll out multiple products and services, right from evaluation to managing the implementation projects. Getting buy-in and budgetary approvals from the Board and Executive Leadership required us to develop a staggered, results-driven approach shaped by the concept of Defense in Depth. This presentation will combine lessons learned during my time at the startup with knowledge gleaned from my consulting career advising startup clients on their security postures.

The talk will involve defining various concepts, such as machine learning (ML) vs deep learning (DL), and supervised learning vs unsupervised learning, to provide attendees a basic understanding of the domain. Attendees will also dedicate 5-10 minutes doing some basic python programming (e.g., creating comments, variables, and a function), and dedicate 10-15 minutes writing code using Jupyter Notebooks to build a simple machine learning application using the Scikit-Learn framework. The session will end with some recommendations to further continue learning about AI, ML, and DL and will reference some audit resources via IIA and ISACA to help IT Auditors better prepare for tackling the expected increased adoption of AI technologies.
This presentation will provided details of a true “hacker”. A true hacker knows technology and how it works. Yes, code is great but if you do not know a server, computer, network works it will be tuff to take it to the next level. During the presentation I will teach the group on what tools I use and how to take advantage of the computer network. The group will not only understand what hacking really is but know how to better protect their company environment going forward.
Last year there were almost 4,000 publicly disclosed data breaches and numerous others that did not make headlines. Despite all the tabletop exercises and updates to the company’s breach response plans, data breaches and cyber incidents can be stressful. One added layer to the stress is that CTO, IT professionals, and internal response team members have to work with outsides lawyers with different priorities. This presentation will explore the role that lawyers play in investigating and responding to data breaches, how lawyers and internal technology professionals can work together, and the benefits for companies when everyone pushes in the same direction. This presentation will also define attorney-client privilege and explain its importance, along with some examples of when companies have failed to maintain privilege during their investigations. The discussion will also explore how working with lawyers can save companies money by cutting off or limiting regulatory investigations and preparing them for potential lawsuits.
Have you ever compared yourself with other team members and felt like a fraud? Have you ever felt unworthy of your job promotion? Have you ever doubted of your successes? Do you know someone who could have answered “Yes” to any of those questions?
These are symptoms of Impostor Syndrome; it affects most of the people working in IT. It affects conference speakers as well. I will share with you my struggles public speaking and how I fight impostor syndrome on every conference. Hopefully this talk will help you to fight impostor syndrome on your day job and help others who might be suffering in your area of influence.
Theory is great (apparently there’s this one on relativity that’s a pretty big deal), but we’re practitioners and need the application. In this session we’ll apply a few hands-on analytics techniques that are applicable regardless of your profession or role on your team. By the end of the session every attendee will have the ability to complete an analysis in only four steps. We’ll also go through a list of tools (free tools!) that everyone can use to analyze their data as well as “The Cadillac” of fraud analytics.
During this presentation we’ll show our tests performed in three different solution endpoint security (CrowdStrike,Sophos and Cybereason Solution), where we simulate targeted attacks using many strategies of attacks to obtain a panoramic view of the resilience presented by the solutions, with regard to the efficiency in its detection by signatures, NGAV and Machine Learning, running scripts, such as: Download many malwares within the victim machine, moving all those malware to other folder(expectation of detection without execution), and as well as, an idea in to download these artifacts directly on the victim’s machine using malwares from The Zoo Repository and furthermore, we’ll running scripts with PowerShell downloading daily malwares batches, provide by MalwareBazaar by request using API access. And the end of this presentation, the front responsible for the product will have an instrument capable of guiding a process of mitigation and / or correction, as well as optimized improvement, based on the criticality of risks.
Securing a container is like securing a virtual or physical machine. You need to understand what’s installed, ensure it’s patched, and reduce the attack surface. But unlike traditional servers, this is done at build time for containers. Journey with us as we build a comprehensive strategy for securing your digital assets that run in Docker, and leave with concrete steps you can apply to your DevOps pipeline today.
The information technology ecosystem serves as the nervous system of your organization. For those who bear the responsibility for evaluating the health of IT programs and systems, one of the most daunting challenges they will face is determining where and how to focus their precious and finite resources. If the goal is to provide the maximum level of assurance that the organization is doing the right things with those limited resources, it is imperative that attention is placed on the areas that are most critical to achieving that end. This session will explore the various approaches and options for performing risk assessment activities that drive a focused and meaningful IT Audit Plan. We will review concepts and approaches related to defining this crucial audit space, including top-down vs. bottom-up evaluations, the various data and criteria that can be leveraged to drive assessment results, and how to carry out holistic assessments for all key IT areas, including security, operations, consumer interaction, finance, regulatory compliance and risk management.

As an Incident Response Principal, we respond to our clients’ incidents and we see a pattern. I have done many a presentation from a Blue Team perspective recommending you do some things, so let’s take a look at what we regularly see that our clients fail at, that either caused the event, made it worse, or why it went undetected. This is a teaching moment that I want to share with you to take back to your organization to prepare for an inevitable event. I talk about the 3 Cs’ Configuration, Coverage, and Completeness and this helps us to understand what kind of process that is needed to address the whole of the problem and how these map to your security program and why organizations suffer so badly during a security event. How is your logging? Is it enabled? Configured to some best practice? (hopefully better than an industry standard that is seriously lacking). Have you enabled some critical logs that by default are NOT enabled? Do you have a way to run a command, script, or a favorite tool across one or all your systems and retrieve the results? What is that we Incident Responders need and use to investigate an incident and what are the typical recommendations we make to all our clients that they fail to do? Sadly a lot of what we need, you already have and is free, nothing to buy, just process and procedural improvements. This talk will describe these things and how to prepare, and be PREPARED to do incident Response, or if you hire an outside firm, what they want and need too. The attendee can take the information from this talk and immediately start improving their environment to prepare for the inevitable, an incident.

Demonstrate different kind of structures in the binaries as a PDF(header/ body/cross-reference table/trailer), explaining how each session works within a binary, what are the techniques used such as packers, obfuscation with JavaScript (PDF) and more, explaining too about some anti-disassembly techniques, demonstrating as a is the action of these malware’s and where it would be possible to “include” a malicious code. By the end of this “talk” it will be clear to everyone, differences in binaries structures, how can the researcher should conduct each of these kind of analyzes, besides of course, it should seek more basic knowledge, with file structures, software architecture and programming language.
Static analysis (SA) is one of the few techniques that provides a low-level examination of source code. When SA is combined with DevOps automation and traditional pentesting, it can offer valuable insights that help with implementation and remediation efforts. Ineffective use, however, overwhelms development teams with false positives and causes dysfunctional communications with security teams. This talk goes over several toolkits for static analysis based on language and tech stack. After that, we will talk about how to use automation to create workflows for developers and application security engineers. We will conclude with cultural transformations needed to make effective use of these tools and techniques.
