Read moreSecurity used to be easier when everything could be put into a datacenter and always protected. In today’s modern digital transformation, people can work anywhere, and apps live everywhere – on-prem, in the cloud, and multi-cloud, complex environments. This has forced security to go through its own transformation. As security deployment gets more complicated, it […]
Read moreLinux seccomp is a simple, yet powerful tool to sandbox running processes and significantly decrease potential damage in case the application code gets exploited. It provides fine-grained controls for the process to declare what it can and can’t do in advance and in most cases has zero performance overhead. The only disadvantage: to utilise this […]
Read moreIt’s 2021, so why are developers still spending so much time writing custom code to validate data? Does the custom code cover all vulnerabilities? Is it secure? This presentation introduces a new open-source framework called Sanitation Web Application Firewall (SanWAF) that uses a declarative approach to validate data on both the client and server tiers. […]

Azure Sentinel is the cloud native SIEM solution from Microsoft. Turning it on potentially means another location for piles of logs and noise. Attend this session to learn how to get the […]
Read moreA recent study suggests that cloud misconfiguration is the number one risk to cloud environments in 2021. As more developers deploy infrastructure across clouds using infrastructure-as-code, the security risk is only going to grow. To quote Albert Einstein: “Intellectuals solve problems, geniuses prevent them.” With IaC, we have an opportunity to scalably prevent security risks […]
Read moreMalware continues to advance in sophistication and prevalence. Well-engineered malware can obfuscate itself from the user, network, and even the operating system running host-based security applications. One place malware cannot easily hide itself is within volatile computer memory (RAM). Although an essential part of detection engineering and exploit development, memory analysis is not trivial to […]
Read moreIn talking about Cloud Security, I believe that there are 3 main points to take care of: IAM Permissions, Control Plane Configuration (AWS API), and Cloudtrail for Control Plane Monitoring. When we are talking about Cloud Misconfiguration, Permissions, and Monitoring, we are mostly talking about second stage attacks (unless some configurations that make information public) […]

Read moreCars are no longer simply mechanical. While they may be getting more advanced that doesn’t mean they are immune to hacks. One particularly sensitive entry point for hacking a car is the legally required OBD II port, which is basically “the Ethernet jack for your car”. This port works on a signaling protocol called CAN […]
Read moreModern software applications are complex, highly integrated collections of components, authored by dozens or even hundreds of individuals, and the rise of open source has taken this complexity to the next level. As an end-user, how well do you understand what a piece of software is *actually* doing, under the hood? Is your favorite string […]
Read moreThe Web application development lifecycle has numerous security activities. For developers, code review is a familiar recurring activity. To support Java developers, a project was started in 2012 called, “Find Security Bugs” (FSB). It is an extension of the SpotBugs project, formerly known as FindBugs. FSB is a community static analysis tool which targets specific vulnerabilities. Over the years FSB has evolved from a limited tool to a solid coverage of bug […]
Read moreAs organizations continue their love affair with cloud services, critical components are increasingly exposed to threats in ways that can be easy to miss with traditional on-premises tools and technology. On the other hand, major cloud-services providers have been stepping up their game and are (for a price!) providing the blue team with new ways […]
Read moreExecutives and the board face difficult decisions to determine whether cyber insurance is worth the spend and what limit to buy. Quantifying the financial costs of potential cyber incidents provides objective grounding for decision-making and reduces reliance on gut feeling, fear or intuition. However, cyber risk assessments usually don’t quantify the financial cost to the […]
