DeepSec 2019 Press Release: High-quality Randomness protects Companies

Sanna/ November 25, 2019/ Conference, Training

The ‘bugs’ of the’ 90s are still alive – hidden in IoT devices, integrated systems and industrial controls. Modern information security can’t manage without mathematics. It is less about statistics in the form of operational data or risk analysis. It’s about cryptography, which is constantly used in everyday life. It uses elements that build on high-quality random numbers to protect information from attacks. This year’s DeepSec Security Conference addresses key aspects of product implementation – data protection during transport and storage. Protecting the Digital Transformation Whether “intelligent” bulbs and illuminants, heating or building controls, tv-sets, industrial plants or entire production lines – the digital transformation covers all areas of our lives and leads to changes. On the one hand, digitization opens up opportunities such as the optimization of processes, the more efficient use of

Threats and Solutions for Supply Chain Attacks in IT – DeepSec conference sheds light on the concatenated logistics of information technology.

Sanna/ October 25, 2019/ Conference

On the web you can find videos of very sophisticated constructions of many dominoes. If you knock over one domino, a whole cascade of breathtaking actions follows. The domino effect in your own IT infrastructure is much less entertaining. Even there, everything usually begins harmlessly with a small action – reading a message, forwarding a document, accessing a web server or receiving a short message from a supposed employee. It becomes particularly exciting when the dominoes are your own suppliers and business partners. This year’s DeepSec Security Conference offers rich content to analyze the interwoven situation of today’s companies and organizations. In networks you need to trust In theory, there is always an outside and an inside. Doors, network filters, access, …. Data management knows this approach. In all IT architectures, therefore, a division

Industrial Espionage and Data Tapping are commonplace in IT – DeepSec Conference provides Training for early Detection, Analysis and Mitigation

Sanna/ September 10, 2019/ Conference, Security

The excitement used to be great when organizations, parties, celebrities, companies, or government agencies reported intrusions into their own or outsourced digital infrastructure. Meanwhile, reports of data leaks and compromised systems are almost a part of the weather forecast. Security applications on smartphones or portals offer this information to allow the user to check if they might be affected too. The networked world of everyday life makes it seemingly possible to present attack and defence in the same breath. Affected, attackers, defenders and beneficiaries move closer together. But anyone who has this impression has fallen victim to the looming simplification. Modern information technology has to deal with dangerous situations every day that have far more facets. This requires a good deal of specialist knowledge and experience. First Responders, Analysis and Detection of Threats All

DeepSec2019 Talk: SD-WAN Secure Communications Design and Vulnerabilities – Denis Kolegov

Sanna/ September 2, 2019/ Conference, Security

Hardening communication protocols against network attacks is hard. And yet a lot of products are available on the market that allow you to transport data and messages. Since virtualisation entered the world of technology all things software-definded (SD) have become popular. Denis Kolegov will explain at DeepSec 2019 what the state of affairs in terms of information security is. The SD-WAN New Hope project targets the security of SD-WAN (software defined wide area network) products. It was started in December 2017, when a customer decided to buy a very secure and well-known SD-WAN product from one of the Top 5 vendors and wanted us to perform threat modelling and a vulnerability assessment. We were doing that for 6 months and found out that the product was awful from a security perspective. It had multiple

DeepSec2019 Talk: IPFS As a Distributed Alternative to Logs Collection – Fabio Nigi

Sanna/ August 30, 2019/ Conference

Logging stuff is easy. You take a piece of information created by the infrastructure, systems, or applications and stash it away. The problems start once you want to use the stored log data for analysis, reference, correlation, or any other more sophisticated approach. At DeepSec 2019 Fabio Nigi will share his experience in dealing with log data. We asked him to explain what you can expect from his presentation. We want access to as much logs as possible. Historically the approach is to replicate logs to a central location. The cost of storage is the bottleneck on security information and event management (SIEM) solution, hard to be maintained at scale, leading to reduce the amount of information at disposal. The state-of-the-art solutions today focus on to analyze the log on the endpoint. This can

DeepSec2019 Talk: Mastering AWS Pentesting and Methodology – Ankit Giri

Sanna/ August 28, 2019/ Conference, Legal, Security

The Cloud (whatever it really is) is the future (of whomever taking advantage of it). This is how information security experts see the outsourcing technologies based on virtualisation and application containment. Ankit Giri explains at DeepSec 2019 what defenders need to be aware of and how you can test your security controls before your adversaries do this. (Pen)Testing the Cloud The intent here is to highlight the fact that pentesting cloud environment comes with legal considerations. AWS (Amazon Web Services) has established a policy that requires a customer to raise a permission request to be able to conduct penetration tests and vulnerability scans to or originating from the AWS environment. We can focus on user-owned entities, identity and access management, user permissions configuration and use of the AWS API integrated into the AWS ecosystem.

Translated Press Release: IT Security is increasingly dominated by Geopolitics

Sanna/ February 18, 2019/ Call for Papers, Conference, DeepIntel, ROOTS

DeepSec and DeepINTEL conference open call for papers – submission for lectures and trainings are in demand.Anyone who reads the technology part of their favourite magazine can hardly escape the promises of future network technologies. Your own car becomes a smartphone. The talking fridge becomes a therapist. 5G mobile networks promise high-speed fibre optic streaming of data on the speed-limited electric scooter. The second reading reveals the meaning of the letter G in 5G – it stands for geopolitics. As part of the network expansion, there are discussions about hidden killswitches for emergency shutdowns, entire networks and backdoors to eavesdrop on customers. In November, the DeepSec In-Depth Security Conference addresses the technical challenges of the Internet of Things, emerging network technologies, and geopolitical constraints dictated by key events of the last 6 years. 5G
