Topic 1:  Security Architecture in a Hybrid state

Speaker Istvan Berko – Security Sales Consultant, PNW, GovEd & Globals

In the past, we have aligned our security architecture through our governed controls and the applicability of these controls to our environments. As the legacy IT architecture is morphing into business-centric functions, the underlying infrastructure and data architecture is changing at pace.  This is resulting in a need to shift our information security perspective and the acceptable residual risk. This talk will discuss the need to adapt and consider some of these newer attack vectors and risks.

• Operational Cloud security controls – New privileged provided to applications from an abstracted privilege management platform
• Controls applicability to SaaS platforms – Do we introduce legacy security to hosted services?
• Network and segmentation architecture – What works and what doesn’t
• DevSecOps and CD/CI and how we enable an SDLC approach to business lead rapid deployment.

Exfiltrating Data through IoT

“Exfiltrating data through the Internet of Things (IoT) provide insights based on research/analysis of data exfiltration vulnerabilities found in IoT protocols (i.e. SSDP, P25, Zigbee, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi, uPnP). With an eye toward mitigating weaknesses in current protocols, this talk addresses future protocol designs to eliminate those weaknesses.  This discussion will delve into the details and demo data exfiltration using IoT protocols. The application of this knowledge will allow you to assess and mitigate these risks as you integrate IoT technologies into your production systems, as well as making informed decisions regarding IoT device and protocol selection.

Privacy by Design – Why It Can’t Wait!

Here are the slides from the presentation: Privacy by Design_ISC2 EB Chapter Meeting 5.10.18

As the U.S. and the rest of the global community continue to rethink what individual privacy entails, and as “big data” is ingested into machine learning/AI, there will continue to be uncertainty of what the future of privacy will look like. This, coupled with news about mass surveillance, user behavior tracking, and targeted advertising have caused developers to take a more defensive approach when designing new services and products. Implementing Privacy by Design (PbD) can help protect organizations in the long run by applying the principles to their development and design activities that enable privacy by default.

Attendees will learn:

• What are the principles of Privacy by Design (PbD)
• Why they are important
• Tips for operationalizing PbD

Topic One: Big Data: The forgotten security landmine

As billions of people, devices, and systems get connected to the internet, companies of all sizes will seek to gather insights as to the best ways to further model their businesses to ensure efficiency, improve business processes and additionally offer solutions to complex problems previously impossible to address. This new data economy has led to a rapid rise in the adoption of big data and big data solutions to serve the needs of small to large-scale enterprises.

In the push to take advantage of such valuable data insights, all manner of personal, private and highly sensitive data continues to get fed into Big Data systems with very little focus on their continues protection before and after it lands into Bid Data systems.

This presentation will unearth the hidden landmines and provide recommended solutions as companies deal with such mountain piles of data through their big data systems.

Topic Two: Cloud Compliance Automation: Automating Hardening AWS  Infrastructure via CI/CD Pipelines

Demo Abstract: This demo presents automating security benchmark controls on cloud infrastructure via Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery, using open source tools. In this demo, I aim to show how to harden OS images and produce reports on the benchmark controls enforced to cloud security auditors. To achieve this, a DevSecOps engineer is allowed to choose a security benchmark to enforce out of a selected list and then the CI pipeline is triggered to automate the security controls under the benchmark selected on a Linux OS system. The pipeline runs multiple stages to ensure and deliver a fully hardened Linux OS system. Finally, I will also provide a report produced at the end stage of the pipeline. This report lists the controls enforced and remediation tools.
