In the Security News: Stealing Mastodon passwords, reporting vulnerabilities in open-source privately, labeling does not solve problems, or does it? will it every get patched? geolocating people from photos, no meta-data required, update your firmware on Linux, hacking flow computers, when a driver isn't really a driver, well, its a driver, but not the one you may be thinking of, oops I leaked it again, misconfiguration leads to compromise, harden runner, guard dog and hacking spacecraft via Ethernet! Navigating the UEFI waters is treacherous. While UEFI has become the standard on most PCs, servers, and laptops, replacing legacy BIOS, it is a complex set of standards and protocols. Jesse joins us to help explain how some of this works and describe how vulnerabilities, specifically with SMM, can manifest and be exploited.

CosMiss in Azure, $70k bounty for a Pixel Lock Screen bypass, finding path traversal with Raspberry Pi-based emulators, NSA guidance on moving to memory safe languages, implementing phishing-resistant MFA, egress filtering, and how to approach code reviews

Cider Security’s recently published research of the Top 10 CI/CD Security Risks acts to identify vulnerabilities to help defenders focus on areas to secure their CI/CD ecosystem. They created a free learning tool with a deliberately vulnerable environment to demonstrate these flaws -- “CI/CD Goat”. Like similar tools, this helps appsec and devops teams gain a better understanding of major CI/CD security risks and, importantly, their appropriate countermeasures.

Don’t leave the door open. Modern systems are complex and require you to consider many aspects. Here are some aspects we consider critical:

- APIs are the dominant software development direction/trend. Traditional/legacy ways to grant access is not fit for purpose of protecting this new way of delivering products and services.

- Customers are demanding better digital experiences. To maintain a competitive edge and drive brand loyalty businesses need to provide great online experiences.

- Standards (such as OAuth and OpenID Connect) are important to ensure high-security levels. Also enables scalability and helps future-proof your infrastructure. For example in the financial sector, these standards play a key role in the drive toward open banking.

- A modern architecture is a zero trust architecture. In a zero trust architecture, the new perimeter hinges on identity.

In this panel discussion, we'll discuss the polarizing case of Joe Sullivan that has rattled the CISO community. Was the Sullivan case a rare anomaly? Were his actions in this scenario typical or unconscionable for the average CISO? Is it okay for Sullivan to take the fall while the rest of Uber and involved parties plead out with little to no punishment?

We'll tackle all these questions and more with our excellent panel, comprised of:

Sounil Yu, CISO and Head of Research at JupiterOne

Brian Markham, CISO at EAB

Rich Friedburg, CISO at Live Oak Bank

Robert Graham, Owner at Errata Security

Every penetration test should have specific goals. Coverage of the MITRE ATT&CK framework or the OWASP Top Ten is great, but what other value can a pentest provide by shifting your mindset further left or with a more strategic approach? How often do you focus on the overall ROI of your penetration testing program? This talk will explore what it means to “shift left” with your penetration testing by working on a threat informed test plan. Using a threat informed test plan will provide more value from your pentesting program and gain efficiency in your security testing pipeline. This talk applies to both consultants and internal security teams.

Threat actors use automation and technology to do evil at scale. Yet, even with cutting edge technology available to them, smaller organizations feel overwhelmed. Analysts struggle from the “alt-tab, swivel-chair” problem, and security products just don’t feel… powerful. So how does a SOC maximize its most valuable asset–the humans–in combination with technology to overachieve? This talk will teach you a new way to model out your team's resources, assets, and capabilities to defend against various levels of adversaries to determine where you have operational capability, where you have gaps, and how to tell the difference.
