Offensive Mobile Forensics

It’s official; enterprise mobility has been redefined, and Bring Your Own Device is a permanent reality, not a trend or fad. The problem everyone has failed to solve, however is not protection of the device itself. MDM, and now MAM are failed attempts to enable the secure use of personally-owned mobile devices. They’ve failed because they stop short of providing a holistic solution for data protection. Enter Offensive Mobile Forensics, a process in which an analyst employs use of the same techniques and tools potential attackers or criminals use on lost or stolen devices, to determine the actual risk of that loss or theft to the enterprise. What data is accessible?

Leading Security When the Rest of The Business Doesn’t Care About Security
In many organizations, security teams are viewed as a “necessary evil” or a cumbersome speed bump in a project plan. It is almost as though the security teams purpose is in conflict with the organization’s purpose, creating competition for resources and funding rather than collaboration and quality execution. This talk focuses on leading through this challenging organizational environment, transforming from dissatisfied performers with high burnout to high performing teams that attract and retain elite staff.

Attacker Ghost Stories: Mostly Free Defenses That Gives Attackers Nightmares

This talk was originally titled “I’m tired of defenders crying”, but thought better of it. This talk is about the tidbits that I’ve seen piecemeal across the multitude of businesses big and small that were innovated and highly effective, yet free, or mostly free and stopped me dead in my tracks.
Going over 4 free, or nearly free methods, tactics, and software setups that will cut down intrusions significantly that you can deploy or start deployment of the hour after the talk is done.

How To Find Mobile Internet Love

As mobile dating applications grow in popularity, so does our interest in the security posture behind these apps. We wanted to take a look at numerous features within these apps to determine the good, the bad, and the ugly. We will cover popular features such as location-based services, analytics, sharing of information, and any other features we discovered to be interesting.
This talk will feature some highlights from popular, obscure, and scary mobile dating applications to answer a very simple question: Can you find love on the Internet without having your personal data exposed?

Five Secrets to Building an Amazing Security Culture in Your Organization

If only everyone thought about security the way we think about security. But they don’t. Why not? Don’t they care? It’s more complicated than that. The neuroscience behind security and learning shows most of the things we already do are not going to work or are just wrong. Here’s five things that will though and will make all the difference.

Man In The Front – Modifying the Android OS for Mobile Application Testing

Most penetration testers know the headaches of testing mobile applications. Challenges like certificate pinning and wondering what files are being written to the device while the app is in use. Since Android is open source, you create your own custom OS that takes the guess work out of your test. By doing this, you can monitor HTTP/HTTPS traffic, SQLLite queries, file access and more. Because this is part of the OS, you can intercept before the data is encrypted (i.e. MiTF). And this works for all apps. No need to hook, inject or rebuild each app you test.
In this talk, I will give a high level overview of the Android OS, point out key files for modifications, and demonstrate a proof on concept with a custom OS along with a monitor showing the intercepted information.

Pissing Down The Leg Of Much Of Our Careers; Why Are You People Still Buying Firewalls & IPS?

Do you recall the good ole days when you would often issue the command ‘more /etc/services’ to correlate an application to a port number? Next thing you know everyone spends a fortune on firewalls and it now seems that the majority of applications now run over just a few ports. Funny thing is now we are told we all need to buy next generation firewalls because you now need visibility into the applications that your standard firewall can’t see. Is this a solution to a problem that the firewall created in the first place? Are firewalls really providing security, or is it simply network segmentation for a network that isn’t that difficult to get onto in the first place?
The story for other traditional security technologies such as A/V and IDS/IPS can be just as perturbing. For years signatures have been lambasted as not being able to keep up with the maturing and quickly advancing threat landscape. If this is the case then why are these solutions allowed to mature into old grey veterans pushed upon us by compliance requirements and experts espousing ‘defense in depth’?
This talk will not only poke fun at these crippled and elderly network membranes but will highlight real world examples used by attackers to bypass them. The point of the talk will be to provoke thinking about a false sense of security that can come from legacy technologies or ideals, and whether these can actually be a burden rather than a solution.

Cyber Insurance – Worth the Effort or Total Ripoff?

Have you ever found yourself paying premiums for years, just to be shortchanged by the insurance company when you submit a claim? It’s a common story and one that can leave the impression that an insurance policy isn’t worth much more than the paper it’s written on. But when it comes to transferring risk for a data breach event, cyber insurance can be a powerful and budget-saving tool. This session includes a discussion of how cyber insurance policies can be a benefit to both the security practitioners responsible for keeping data safe and the leaders tasked with minimizing the impact of a data breach. The session will also include an insider’s view of the real value behind this insurance and share strategies for leveraging these policies to your advantage.

Seth Hanford manages Cisco’s TRAC team, whose members use Cisco’s expansive security intelligence resources to detect and respond to threats and generate original research on a wide array of security topics. Prior to this role, he worked for more than a decade in vulnerability and threat intelligence. Between his roles as a Security Analyst for Cisco’s vulnerability database service (IntelliShield) and as an Incident Manager on it’s Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT), he has reviewed and scored thousands of security vulnerabilities in a wide range of software products. In 2005 he began contributing to the Common Vulnerability Scoring System v2 working group, and in 2011 accepted a nomination to chair the special interest group tasked with developing CVSS version 3.

CVSS v3 – This One Goes to 11

Software vulnerabilities — love em or hate em, they’re crucial to your job. Likewise, you may have a love/hate relationship with vulnerability classification and severity scoring (like CVSS v2 or any number of proprietary methods). In this talk we will look at statistics and characteristics for thousands of vulnerabilities to see if we can determine what CVSS v2 did wrong, what it did right, and what we (the CVSS v3 Special Interest Group) intend to do to fix it. We will also come away with a better understanding for why systems like CVSS are important to security practitioners, even those who’d rather be popping shells than pushing off patches whose scores are “too low to care about”.
