Keynote - The Bad Guys Are Winning: So Now What? - Ed Skoudis, Senior Security Analyst with InGuardians and SANS Instructor
8:45-9:45
With the continual release of zero-day exploits, ever-larger-scale botnets, and rampant spyware, attackers have compromised tens of millions of machines connected to the Internet. With clever attackers mixing social engineering, physical attacks, and phishing into their bag of tricks, their rate of successful penetration is both astounding and depressing. A central thesis of this talk is that a sufficiently determined (but not necessarily well-funded) attacker can compromise almost any organization with an Internet connection. The discussion will first analyze why this is so. We'll then look at the implications of such an environment for enterprises. How should information security priorities shift in light of this evolving threatscape and attack surface? What are the implications for system administrators, incident response teams, and even penetration testers? We'll also briefly look beyond the enterprise, and consider the military and national security issues associated with emerging threats and attacks.

What's Up PCI? - Peter Spier Fortrex Technologies

10:00-11:00
A discussion of Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance which focuses on what applies to your organization and both how to prepare for assessment and how to monitor and manage compliance. Additional detail will be provided dispelling common misconceptions and defining scope. Finally, payment application compliance will be reviewed addressing compliant development and the use of compliant payment applications, services.
The Sensitive Data Iceberg - Allison F. Dolan, Program Director, Personally Identifiable Information, MIT 11:00 - 12:00 With all the state regulations and potential for federal regulations regarding personally identifiable information (e.g. SSN), organizations should understand where they have PII, and what risks might be entailed. But finding all that PII is not easy - the obvious places, such as the HR systems, are likely to be just the tip of the iceberg. This presentation focuses on the processes MIT used and the findings/results of addressing this issue.

Reducing Risk Associated with the Storage and Transmission of PII - Henry Sprafkin, Director of Security Solutions, SunGard Availability Services 1:00-2:00 Personably Identifiable Information (PII) has become the easiest and most fruitful target for organized criminals. Identities cam be purchased in bulk on the Internet anonymously. Whether is Healthcare, Financial, Employment Records, or Card Holder Data the financial and reputation of each organization rests with its ability to protect PII and Intellectual capital. This session will discuss the current threat landscape, risk based approach to determining appropriate counter measures, as well as a discussion of important elements that are sometimes overlooked or under funded (along with some short cuts to accelerate implementation).

Integrated Identity Compliance Management Enabling Rapid Role-Based Compliance - David Hochhauser, VP Security Solution Strategy, CA

2:00-3:00

Effective security management starts with Identity and Access Management (IAM) - knowing and controlling who can do what. With security compliance becoming a main business driver, organizations have begun to look at compliance and role management as one of the main components of identity lifecycle management (ILM).

David Hochhauser, VP of Solution Strategy at CA, will present an informative seminar focusing on key ILM issues and challenges facing organizations. David will discuss available best practices and technologies to help demonstrate identity compliance. Integrated Identity Compliance Management You will learn how to:

  • Assess Identity Lifecycle Management needs easily and rapidly
  • Create a role-based model and manage its lifecycle
  • Verify and implement regulatory and business policies (e.g., SoD) for a role-based and non-role-based privileges model
  • Integrate certification of user privileges and roles into the broader Identity Management lifecycle ô€‚ƒ Improve comprehensive management of privileges, roles, and policies
  • Steps to integrate Role and Compliance Management with automated remediation and provisioning.

How to Improve Your Security…For Free! - Stephen Marchewitz, Chief Strategy Officer, SecureState

 

3:30 - 4:30

In tough times the level of security threats increases while funding to address threats isn’t. However, security threats and worries needn’t affect your bottom line, especially in an economic downturn.

SecureState, a vendor agnostic information assessment and protection firm, will discuss:

• Building a security program
• How to obtain budget
• Well-regarded Free tools
• Things you may be wasting money on
• How to relay risk
• Other strategies to get the biggest bang for the buck

Every ISO 27001 discussion must also include some brief historical background as well as the future strategy for this and other security standards. The certification process and auditing requirements will be discussed as well. Finally, armed with this knowledge a high level comparison of ISO 27001 Security standard will be compared to the information provided with the SAS-70 audits.

Meeting Global Compliance Initiatives While Protecting Your Core Assets - Mark Trinidad, Product Manager, Application Security, Inc.
11:00-12:00

Navigating and interpreting global compliance initiatives is a challenging feat for companies looking to ground those initiatives in data security practices. It?s increasingly more complex when database auditing needs to comply with multiple compliance initiatives. The importance of IT security to ensure, confidentiality, integrity, and availability of financial data is evident within many sections of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, for example. The common threat to SOX compliance within these sections is unauthorized data deletion, modification or access. With the integrity of financial data at stake, companies must focus significant efforts in securing data at its source - the database.

Other initiatives including European SOX, ISO/IEC 27002, Basel II and PCI DSS present a challenge to organizations in grounding a data security strategy in compliance. All have varying levels of involvement while having differentiating recommendations around compliance at the database level, which can be an enormous job for the IT organization.

The Laws of Vulnerabilities Research Version 2.0: Comparing Critical Infrastructure Industries

Jason Falciola, GCIH, GAWN Technical Account Manager, Qualys


2:00-3:00

 

The Law of Vulnerabilities, version 2.0, is the updated version of the Laws research that was premiered at Black Hat in 2003. This research exposes findings on patch trends, prevalence, persistence and exploitability of vulnerabilities within global enterprise networks for internal and external systems.

What’s new in Laws 2.0? The research now focuses on 6 vertical industries that represent the critical infrastructure including Finance, Retails, Manufacturing, Healthcare, Energy and Services. The Laws examines the time-to-patch trends and derives a half-life period for each of these sectors (Half-life is the period it takes the industry to patch 50% of the vulnerabilities discovered after 1st advisory). This provides organizations within each of these industry sectors a benchmark to compare themselves to when it comes to patching critical vulnerabilities on their networks; so a CSO can use this data to ask this questions: are we doing a better job then the rest of our peers or do we need to ask for more budget to expedite our patching processes?

The sample data used to derive the 2.0 Laws is significant and order of magnitude larger than what was used in 1.0 as its based on 80 million IPs scanned in 2008 that discovered 270 million vulnerabilities, out of which 80 million+ vulnerabilities are critical (severity level 4 or 5). The data is completely anonymous and can’t be tied back to any specific IP or customer. This presentation will also closely examine the Conficker worm and the Windows RPC vulnerability behind and explains how fast the industry reacted to fix this critical issue and prevent infection within enterprise networks.

Based on this research we will discuss industry best practices and the steps your organization should take to implement a mature vulnerability management program that cost-effectively reduces risk over time.
