3 Layers of App Security to Keep Hackers Out, Let Customers In - Aviad Mizrachi - PSW #807

Attackers pursue the shortest path to achieve their goals in your app. With a tri-layered security architecture, you can force hackers to crawl through a triathlon in your app. What's in the three layers, to detect attacks sooner, slow attackers down, and stop them fast? Let's take a journey across the three layers and discuss how to gain control of user permissions, secure your cloud computing, and keep your customers and their users safe.

VSCode Vulnerabilities - Thomas Chauchefoin, Paul Gerste - PSW #804

For the Security News, we officially welcome Bill Swearingen to our expert panel of PSW hosts, and discuss the news including hacking shenanigans, QNAP, recovering crypto currency, Android malware, and more! Then in a pre-recorded segment: Sonar Vulnerability Researchers Thomas Chauchefoin and Paul Gerste conducted research on the security of Visual Studio Code — the most popular code editor out there — which was presented at DEF CON 31 in August. The pair uncovered a few ways for attackers to gain code execution on a victim's computer if they clicked on a specially crafted link or opened a malicious folder in Visual Studio Code, bypassing existing mitigations like Workspace Trust. Developers tend to trust their IDEs and do not expect such security issues to exist. As developers have access to source code and production systems, they make for very interesting targets for threat actors. Important to note is that the security concepts that the two are able to demonstrate apply not just to Visual Studio Code, but to most other code editors. This is also the story of how the researchers got an unexpected $30,000 bounty from Microsoft for these bugs, by mistake!

STM32 boards, soldering, decapping chips, RTOS development, lasers, multiple flippers and for what you ask? So I can be alerted about a device I already know is there.

In a recent survey on purple teaming, 89 percent of respondents who had used the method deemed purple teaming activities "very important" to their security operations. Purple teaming exercises conducted regularly have the power to improve collaboration across teams, ensure issues are identified and remediated more proactively, and provide a means to measure progress over time. With all these benefits, why isn't everyone doing it? Purple teaming doesn't have to be such a heavy lift. With the right mindset and tools, any team can get started regardless of resources. This talk will highlight practical tips for getting started with purple teaming exercises and show off PlexTrac Runbooks, a platform designed to plan, execute, report, and remediate collaborative purple teaming engagements so teams can maximize their efforts and improve their security posture.

This week in the Security News: GetVariable strikes again, attackers could blow up your computer remotely, escaping containers, null-dereferences and faulty evaluations, 31 new CPU vulnerabilities for AMD, a look into Chrome, santa, not-so-secure secure booting, and malware included! Open source is the bedrock of most of the world's software today, so how to raise the floor on software quality across the industry? First, we need better tools to measure the trustworthiness of code based on objective measures, processes that encourage better security practices by developers, and tools and processes that encourage teamwork and shared responsibility for security. Several efforts are underway in major open source communities to address these issues. At the Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF), major companies, open source software maintainers, startup companies and government actors are working together to improve open source software supply chain security. Brian will share his view of this landscape, detail the work being done at the OpenSSF, show where those efforts are already bearing fruit, and demonstrate what you and your organization can (must!) do to participate in these efforts.

Over the last few years, the trend to use Open Source has been migrating into safety-critical applications, such as automotive and medical, which introduces system-level analysis considerations. In a similar fashion, these components are now being considered for the evolution of critical infrastructure systems. In the US, security concerns have prompted some emerging best practices, such as increased transparency of components, via software bill of materials (SBOMs), but this is not the only aspect to keep in mind.

This session explores software supply chain security and the details of System of Trust, a community effort to develop and validate a process for integrating evidence of the organizational, technical, and transactional trustworthiness of supply chain elements for decision makers dealing with supply chain security. This framework is defining, aligning, and addressing the specific concerns and risks that stand in the way of organizations' trusting suppliers, supplies, and service offerings. More importantly, the framework offers a comprehensive, consistent, and repeatable methodology – for evaluating suppliers, supplies, and service offerings alike – that is based on decades of supply chain security experience, deep insights into the complex challenges facing the procurement and operations communities, and broad knowledge of the relevant standards and community best practices.

While we most likely do not believe that penetration testing is dead it continues to evolve over time. What do penetration tests look like today? Have they become more or less specialized? What is the continuing value of penetration testing? With development and IT moving so fast, how have penetration tests adapted? This discussion will dive into the details of penetration testing today and provide you with a guide to make the most of this activity. Without question, we need more people working in cybersecurity today. Our culture has come a long way to be more open and inviting to new folks, but we still have a lot of work to do. What can you do if you want to break into the field of cybersecurity today? While there is no shortage of resources our experienced hosts will offer their thoughts, opinions, and advice on how you can become the next cybersecurity pro!

Is there still a network or has it slipped away from us entirely? What about efforts for localization because people do not trust the cloud, its providers or its reliability (ala Twitter vs. the Fediverse?). Do you still need actual hardware firewalls? What about VPNs? How long will these devices still be around as everyone goes to the cloud and SDWAN technologies? And what about identity?
