In this talk, we’ll provide an introduction […]
Containers offer speed, performance, and portability, but do they actually contain? While they try their best, the shared kernel is a disturbing attack surface: a mere kernel vulnerability may allow containerized processes to escape and compromise the host. This issue prompted a new wave of sandboxing tools that use either unikernels, lightweight VMs or userspace-kernels […]
Adversarial machine learning has hit the spotlight as a topic relevant to practically-minded security teams, but noise and hype have diluted the discourse to gradient-based comparisons of blueberry muffins and chihuahuas. This fails to reflect the attack landscape, making it difficult to adequately assess the risks. More concerning still, recommendations for mitigations are similarly lacking […]
The need to operate online has driven businesses toward a digital transformation with cloud adoption at its core. The pace of this transformation sped up drastically as COVID-19 dispersed entire workforces and business operations around the world. In a matter of days, operating a business with an entirely “at home” workforce became the norm. And […]
Information Security leaders face a problem: to prove the value equation of their security investments. Security efficacy is often brought up as a key challenge – not just how to leverage technology, but how to measure what results it delivers. Enumerating how many detections were surfaced by a malware defense platform or if a perimeter […]
Preceding the outbreak of COVID-19 was a trend across industries to transform the traditional IT stack into a new form of computing, one that was focused on enabling agility and innovation while also delivering cost reduction. This shift sought to leverage public cloud and cloud-like development methods as well as infrastructure design. The effort to […]
Cybersecurity software has evolved by leaps and bounds in the past decade. However, one domain was neglected and has fallen behind – security validation. Today, the measurement of a network’s cyber posture is done in a manual, non-scalable way, through costly 3rd-party pentesting service providers. As a result, a huge gap has been created between […]
Google Cloud’s security model in many ways is quite different from AWS. Spark jobs, Cloud Functions, Jupyter Notebooks, and more default to having administrative capabilities over cloud API’s. Instead of defaulting to no capabilities, permissions are granted to default identities. One default permission these identities have is called actAs, which allows a service by default […]
This talk will demystify the process of writing a rootkit, moving past theory and instead walking the audience through the process of going from a driver that says “”Hello World”” to a driver that abuses never-before-seen hooking methods to control the user-mode network stack. Analysis includes common patterns seen in malware and the drawbacks that […]
Today, with a few commands anyone can have containers running on their machine; at this point, they seem to be neither complex nor complicated to secure. However, the story dramatically changes when the ecosystem grows exponentially and now we have thousands of nodes that fulfill different roles, with different resources, running different applications, in different […]
Bad security data leads to bad security policies; better data enables better policies. That, in a nutshell, is the thesis of this talk. To back that up, we’ll share a FUD-free and data-driven analysis of the frequency and economic costs of tens of thousands of historical cyber incidents, with a special focus on events that […]
The security world is fraught with cases of mental health issues, burnout, substance abuse, and even suicide. We live in a world of threats and responses that trigger the deepest parts of our psyche; with the barriers between “”online”” and the physical world constantly crumbling. While some deal in theory, many of us deal with […]
As organizations increase their adoption of cloud services, we see attackers following them to the cloud. Microsoft Office 365 is becoming the most common email platform in enterprises across the world and it is also becoming an increasingly interesting target for threat actors. Office 365 encompasses not only Exchange, but also Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, and […]
Windows access token manipulation attacks are well known and abused from an offensive perspective, but rely on an extensive body of arcane Windows security internals: logon sessions, access tokens, UAC, and network authentication protocols, such as Kerberos and NTLM, to name a few. Furthermore, some of this information is not easily found and can be […]
Recent studies have suggested various side-channel attacks for eavesdropping sound by analyzing the side effects of sound waves on nearby objects (e.g., a bag of chips and window) and devices (e.g., motion sensors). These methods pose a great threat to privacy, however they are limited in one of the following ways: they (1) cannot be […]
Cyberattacks are ever-evolving, increasingly using automation to morph and elude detection. Add to this an ever-expanding attack surface, the rapid growth of both cloud adoption and remote users, and a flood of new, hard-to-secure IoT devices. Clearly, the enterprise threat landscape has never been more challenging. Traditional manual and reactive security approaches are simply over-matched. […]
Threat intelligence chat bots are useful friends. They perform research for you and can even be note takers or central aggregators of information. However, it seems like most organizations want to design their own bot in isolation and keep it internal. To counter this trend, our goal was to create a repeatable process using an […]
In 2010, Stuxnet, the most powerful malware in the world revealed itself, causing physical damage to Iranian nuclear enrichment centrifuges. To reach Iran’s centrifuges, it exploited a vulnerability in the Windows Print Spooler service to gain code execution as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. Due to the hype around this critical vulnerability, we (and probably everyone else) were […]
