Passwords and Patching: The Forgotten Building Blocks of Enterprise Security

Passwords and Patching: The Forgotten Building Blocks of Enterprise Security

RSA Conference: Andrea Fisher, Security Specialist, Microsoft

Jon Wojan, Partner Technical Architect, Microsoft

The NSA hasn’t responded to a zero-day attack in 24 months. Patching remains the biggest security issue until 2020. Breach after breach has happened because machines have not been patched or the password was easily guessable. Let’s get back to the basics and help customers overcome these foundational elements of security including patch management, password strategy and approaches.Learning Objectives:1: Learn about the future of a password-less world.2: Understand the importance of patching. Pre-Requisites:Patching.

Security Learns to Sprint: DevSecOps

Security Learns to Sprint: DevSecOps

RSA Conference:Tanya Janca, Senior Cloud Developer Advocate, Microsoft

This talk will argue that DevOps could be the best thing to happen to application security since OWASP, if developers and operations teams are enabled to make security a part of their everyday work. We must build security into each of the “Three Ways”; if they are sprinting, then we need to sprint too. So put on your running shoes; it’s time for DevSecOps!Learning Objectives:1: Learn how to adjust DevOps to DevSecOps.2: Obtain a view of AppSec and SecOps.3: -

Attacking Machine Learning: On the Security and Privacy of Neural Networks

Attacking Machine Learning: On the Security and Privacy of Neural Networks

RSA Conference: Nicholas Carlini, Research Scientist, Google

Despite significant successes, machine learning has serious security and privacy concerns. This talk will examine two of these. First, how adversarial examples can be used to fool state-of-the-art vision classifiers (to, e.g., make self-driving cars incorrectly classify road signs). Second, how to extract private training data out of a trained neural network.Learning Objectives:1: Recognize the potential impact of adversarial examples for attacking neural network classifiers.2: Understand how sensitive training data can be leaked through exposing APIs to pre-trained models.3: Know when you need to deploy defenses to counter these new threats in the machine learning age.Pre-Requisites:Understanding of threats on traditional classifiers (e.g., spam or malware systems), evasion attacks, and privacy, as well as the basics of machine learning.
