Security Automation on AWS

Review key findings from Verizon's 2020 Data Breach Incident Report (DBIR), which details how modern attacks target multiple layers in the application stack from web to APIs to the cloud. Examine real-world examples such as Capital One, 63Red, BHIM. Learn how to prevent similar attacks.

In this session we'll discuss how cyber security companies are seeing a huge uptick in mobile phishing due to recent reports of vaccines coming out to improve the pandemic.

Join Nick Palaszewski as he demonstrates how counterfeit apps are created daily. Not only can attackers utilize rogue mobile applications, but they can also use many other channels such as SMS, iMessage, 3rd party messaging platforms, and social media platforms. If Data Theorem's apps are not secured by taking all the proper precautions, your customers can be subject to these attacks especially while using unsecured wifi at an airport, coffee shop, hotel, etc.

Learn about the importance of visibility and security for GraphQL.

GraphQL is a popular data query language that makes it easier to get data from a server to a client via an API call. It is commonly deployed as a piece of the technology stack for modern web and mobile applications. However, the complex nature of GraphQL makes it easier for hackers to exploit if embedded APIs and cloud resources are not secure. Learn about the right way to protect your AppSec stack that traditional approaches do not yet offer.

In this webinar, we’ll discuss the 5 most common GraphQL security vulnerabilities and how to leverage full stack security to overcome security gaps:

*Inconsistent authorization checks (similar to REST Auth)
*Failure to appropriately rate-limit
*Introspection may help attackers
*Introspection reveals non-public information
*Cost of high depth queries

In this session we cover how a popular mobile payments app recently exposed 7 million private banking records & is now facing fines and brand damage, as well as the security risks associated with using cloud provider building blocks for running client-facing apps.

You will learn:
*How to leverage a preventative hacking toolkit
*How each AppSec layer must be secured
*How a recent breach from a payment app could have been avoided

How does contact tracing work?

The current health crisis has forced countries to consider the use of mobile contact-tracing to track and control the spread of the virus. This video provides an introduction to this strategy, the proposed use, and initial implications on privacy and mobile security.

-What is contact tracing?
-Technical Implementation in China and South Korea
-Technical Implementation in the Apple/Google proposal
-Alternative options to protect data while saving lives

How can we prevent data breaches that are caused by very simple processes like closing an AWS bucket?

The crown jewel of DevSecOps is not only identifying vulnerabilities and analyzing them, but being able to resolve them before there is a breach. Automating this last step solves several problems:

*Less exposure time means less chance of breach
*Saves time fixing the violation or learning how to fix it
*Developers need not get involved with every security incident

In this session, we will show you an example of a customer that had an unauthenticated queue on AWS, how it was resolved, and how these failed attacks extend their cloud security posture.

Overcoming the challenges of manual mobile AppSec with automation.

The demand for mobile apps has caused a need for developers to improve and release features at an unprecedented rate to stay ahead of the competition. Consequently, developers have introduced new models to develop mobile apps quicker and easier.

In these fast-paced development cycles, the risk of data security vulnerabilities and breach of regulatory requirements becomes more important than ever. With such an industry trend comes an imperative need to innovate the approach to mobile AppSec.

Join us to learn about the:

*Top challenges and problems facing security teams for mobile AppSec.
*Limitations of traditional mobile AppSec approaches and why a manual processes will not scale with DevOps.
*Ways to automate your mobile AppSec program to meet the fast pace demands of modern SDLCs without the staff.

It is very hard, if not impossible, to secure something you don’t know exist. While security professionals spend countless hours on complex yet interesting issues that *may* be exploitable in the future, basic attacks are occurring every day with little to reviews. For example, a “dated trend” by effective yet lazy hackers is to search for API unknown by security teams, coined “Shadow APIs”, connect to these APIs, and extract data. While SQL Injection used to be the hack of choice, as a few simple SQL commands would either mean “pay dirt” or “move on to the next target”, the same can be said for Shadow API….Find, Connect, Extract. This talk will discuss one of many methods that are used in the wild to target Shadow APIs and export large volumes of data with a few clicks of a button (lines of code in python code :). Attendees will learn about a very basic yet non-so-obvious problem in securing data, and how hackers are using creative methods to steal large volumes of data.

Data Theorem delivers automated security for DevOps, ushering in a new era of DevSecOps. This helps teams grow faster with fewer application security exposures.

How to prepare your data, mobile apps, web apps, and APIs

On January 1, 2020, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) will go into effect. This new privacy law emphasizes the growing importance for companies to revisit their approach on how they handle consumer data. Recent GDPR violations have shown that exposure via poor mobile app security and leaky APIs can result in multi-million dollar fines. But security leaders may not be aware that consumers will be able to make requests to in-scope business for the 2019 calendar year. Learn how to prepare for this legislation, security audits, and future data privacy laws without the staff.

In this webinar we will cover :

*How this legislation affects your company and customer data
*How it impacts your mobile and modern web app strategy
*How you can start preparing your current data, apps, and API’s before the law goes into effect
