Accelerating Cloud Adoption Using Virtualization Mgmt Standards

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), a set of rules governing the privacy and security of personal data that is being implemented by the European Commission, is going into effect in May, 2018.

This means your company, and every other company in the world are considering:
- Does GDPR affect my organization and how
- What are the cybersecurity and privacy implications of GDPR
- What happens if I don't comply
Join this panel of top privacy and security experts as they discuss the state of identity, privacy and cyber security in the context of GDPR.

Speakers:
- Michelle Dennedy, VP & Chief Privacy Officer at Cisco
- Ariel Silverstone, Vice President of Security Strategy, Privacy and Trust at GoDaddy
- Paul Rosenzweig, Principal at Red Branch Consulting

Nicola Franchetto will discuss in a practical and business oriented way, the new provisions of the GDPR and how the PLA Code of Conduct supports compliance with the forthcoming EU Data Protection Legislation. More precisely, Franchetto will highlight the true privacy compliance “game changers” introduced by the GDPR and offer the audience practical inputs on how to set up a sound and effective corporate Data Protection Compliance Programme, which will also include having a PLA in place with Cloud Service Providers.

GDPR is an urgent issue that has companies scrambling to be compliant by May of 2018. Any organization that processes EU citizen data is in scope and the penalties are severe.

Alignment with the requirements can reduce the chances of triggering a Data Protection Authority (DPA) to investigate a company’s privacy practices after the GDPR takes effect in May 2018. DPAs can impose a fine on companies of up to 4% of annual global revenues for egregious violations of the GDPR. Member states can also add to these fines. The Netherlands, for instance, has more than doubled its own fining capacity to 10% of annual revenues. European privacy advocates are pressuring DPAs to fully exercise these new powers after May 2018.To manage this risk, multinationals should have a means to demonstrate alignment with the GDPR requirements and communication of this program with DPAs that have jurisdiction over their major European operations.

InnoSec’s GDPR solution provides privacy impact and risk assessments which measure the confidentiality and integrity of the system and the risk associated to it meeting articles 1,2, 5, 32, 35 and 36. Additionally, we provide a readiness gap analysis for managing, planning and budgeting for GDPR.

Most e-commerce, educational and multi-national organizations process EU citizen data and are in scope for GDPR. Moreover, most organizations are not ready according to Gartner and his means the race to the finish line requires as much automation as you can afford. InnoSec provides a means for companies to save money and time with their GDPR assessment and gap analysis offering.. Our GDPR offering automates the assessment process and provides a gap analysis readiness feature, that also ensures that organizations can plan, budget and manage their GDPR program.

Come to this webinar to see how it is done.

9 months until the GDPR deadline - are you completely up-to-speed?

Our panel of data protection experts will be discussing the compliance considerations that you need to be assessing for May 2018 along with suggesting next steps from a cyber and general security standpoint.

We'll also be asking YOU at what stage you're at in terms of your preparations via a series of interactive benchmarks as we go through the session to get a sense of where the security community is at in terms of preparations.

-------------

GDPR and its May 2018 deadline are now fully the minds of the vast majority of security professionals and with massive fines on the horizon for non-compliance, now is a better time than ever to get to grips with the legislation and ensure that your organisation is secure and compliant.

It’s vital that your business has carried out the relevant preparations for compliance by then to make sure you don’t get whacked with a huge fine of up to £15m or 4% of your organisation’s global annual turnover.

Not only are there potentially huge financial repercussions, but leaving your business open to attack and your customers at risk can cause serious reputational damage.

The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was designed to harmonize data privacy laws across Europe, to protect and empower all EU citizens’ data privacy, and to reshape the way organizations across the region approach data privacy. Acknowledging identity threats like phishing and man-in-the-middle attacks, the GDPR applies to all companies processing and holding the personal data of those residing in the European Union, regardless of the company’s location.

An excerpt from the GDPR describes authentication as ‘key to securing computer systems’ and as the first step ‘in using a remote service or facility, and performing access control’. The document also outlines various GDPR-compliant authentication solutions, such as smart card, OTP push apps, and FIDO Universal 2nd Factor (U2F).

Yubico’s enterprise solution - the YubiKey - combines support for OpenPGP (an open standard for signing and encryption), FIDO U2F (a protocol that works with an unlimited number of applications), and smart card / PIV (a standard that enables RSA or ECC sign/encrypt operations using a private key stored on the device) all in one multi-protocol authentication device. This makes it a strong and flexible solution for companies required to comply with GDPR. Attend this webcast and learn:

•How GDPR will impact the way organizations worldwide store and access the personal information of EU citizens
•How to leverage open standards to achieve GDPR compliance for strong authentication
•How a multi-protocol authentication device protects organizations from phishing and man-in-the-middle attacks

Mobile devices have won. Whether it’s a cell phone or tablet they are the device of choice for users wanting to access corporate resources. This webinar will discuss the options for supporting these devices as a business imperative. At one end of the spectrum there’s the “corporate device only” approach, at the other end is a BYOD approach. Either approach is acceptable provided it’s based on a risk assessment and adheres to corporate policy.

This presentation will address the security issues organizations are facing in supporting access to corporate resources from users with mobile devices. Join us as we discuss the importance of establishing a secure BYOD strategy, the security controls you will need to have in place and the need for strong authentication.

We’ll address:
- The security options available today to enable an efficient and safe BYOD strategy
- How implementing a strong BYOD strategy can help compliance
- How you can reduce the risk of suffering a damaging cyber-breach

Cross-platform frameworks, such as Apache Cordova, Adobe PhoneGap, or SAP Kapsel are becoming increasingly popular. They promote the development of hybrid apps that combine native, i.e., system specific, code and system independent code, e.g., HTML5/JavaScript. Combining native with platform independent code opens Pandora's box: all the security risks for native development are multiplied with the security risk of web applications.

In this talk, we will give a short introduction into hybrid app development, present specific attacks and discuss how Android developers are using Apache Cordova. In the second half of the talk, we will focus on the secure development of hybrid apps: both with hands-on guidelines for defensive programming as well as recommendations for hybrid app specific security testing strategies.

Attackers’ love for PowerShell is now no longer a secret, with 2016 producing an explosion in offensive PowerShell toolsets. PowerShell is gaining respect in offensive circles as “Microsoft’s Post-Exploitation Language” and being integrated into many offensive toolkits. Unfortunately, the offensive community often fails to research or share relevant mitigations with their defensive counterparts. This leaves many defenders without the information they need to protect themselves and their networks from these attacks. In a quest to combat the perceived threat, many defenders attempt to disable PowerShell rather than realizing its defensive potential.

In this webinar, Will Schroeder (@harmj0y) and Jared Atkinson (@jaredcatkinson) will cover offensive and defensive PowerShell tools and techniques, including PowerPick, subversive PowerShell profiles, PowerForensics, and Get-InjectedThread. They will also cover mitigations and detections for popular offensive tools and techniques, demonstrating how to best handle the new offensive reality of widespread offensive PowerShell usage.

Today’s IT risk environment is more threatened than ever thanks to the growth in sophisticated cyber attacks and security vulnerabilities. Now, complex, hard-to-detect attacks could bring down not just a single institution but also large parts of the internet and the financial markets. Organizations need an intelligent approach when it comes to assessing IT risk and managing compliance.

Staying safe is no longer just about deflecting attackers. It’s about staying ahead of attackers who are already inside the organization, and banks are doing this through structured lines of defense that enhance security capabilities, involve IT risk managers in operations, and expand internal audits mandate so they can cover business disruption. On this webinar presentation we will address some ways how organizations can as a part of an Integrated Risk Management initiative orchestrate effective IT risk management across the lines of defense.

The same-origin policy (SOP) remains one of the most important security mechanisms of the web, protecting servers from malicious pages interacting with their APIs through cross-site requests. However, the subtle details of the policy can be overlooked, so our talk aims to show how limitations in the application of the same-origin policy can undermine security.

Join this talk in the "Threat Hunting" series as David Petty, Network Security Analyst at Independent Security Evaluators, explains in depth how the same-origin policy works and how it can be bypassed to exploit cross-site vulnerabilities, including examples of Java, Flash, Silverlight, and Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) misconfigurations.

As the same-origin policy and cross-site request forgery (CSRF) are inherently connected, we will also show both simple and complex cross-site request forgery attacks and how CSRF functions within the context of the same-origin policy. This will include classic CSRF attacks that work within the confines of the same-origin policy and more complicated attacks that utilize server misconfigurations to bypass the same-origin restrictions altogether.

About the Threat Hunter:
David Petty is an Associate Security Analyst at Independent Security Evaluators (ISE), a security consulting company in Baltimore, MD. He has recently graduated from Northwestern University with a B.S. in Computer Science, and discovered his interest in security while working for ISE during college. He specializes in breaking web and native applications and uses these skills to conduct custom security assessments of software products. His interests also include reverse engineering and digital forensics.

In this episode of the Threat Hunting series we will feature a network security tool developed and used by real-life threat hunters. Sweet Security is a network security monitoring and defensive tool which can be deployed on hardware as small as a Raspberry Pi.

Using the power of Bro IDS and threat intelligence feeds, malicious network traffic can be exposed. This data is gathered and visualized with the ELK stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kiban). Going beyond detection, the device can implement blocking for specific devices on a granular level. Sweet Security can monitor all network traffic with no infrastructure change and block unwanted traffic. It ships with Kibana dashboards, as well as a new web administration UI. Even better, the installation can be separated between web administration and sensor.

Want to deploy the web administration to AWS and install a dozen sensors? No problem! With the ability to intercept all network traffic combined with the power of Bro and ELK, you can unlock the ability to hunt for threats across any environment.

Travis Smith will go through how the tool works, as well as some interesting findings he has discovered on his own home network.
