Advanced Malware and the Cloud: The New Concept of ‘Attack Fan-out‘

Krishna Narayanaswamy，Chief Scientist, Netskope

The rapid rise in cloud adoption, of which organizations have underestimated the scope of by nearly 10x, has created a new effect: a ‘cloud attack fan-out‘. Between many connected devices, which increase attack surface, and capabilities like sync and share, which increase data velocity in the cloud, both the propensity for and the severity of breaches rise.

Cybercrime Collaboration--The Changing APAC Threat Landscape

Is the Tokenisation Framework Really Secure?

Thiago Musa，Director, Trustwave

Tokenisation is not a new concept even when it relates to Cardholder Data (CHD). The release of ‘Apple Pay‘ raised attention to the new standard by EMVCo about Payment Tokenisation. From a security perspective, it removes the CHD not only from the merchants, but also from the acquirer and even from the cardholder, giving a new perspective and including the Token Service Provider. 

OS X Malware: Growth and Maturity

Jason Carpenter，Principal Security Consultant, Cylance

Malware grows in a standardized fashion. It starts off fairly simplistic, adding complexity as the battle between malware authors and endpoint protection grows. OS X malware is following this standard but at a much higher rate than seen before. This session will talk about parallels of malware history, the current state of OS X malware and what is likely to come next. 

The Path to Active Defense by Combining Deception Technologies with Analytics

Daniel Cooper，Head of Advanced Cyber Services, BT

Security analytics technologies are only as effective as the quality of the data that is ingested and the processing applied to it. With a long history of protecting the UK government and other Fortune 500 companies from cyberthreats, BT will share how indicators generated by deception technologies can be used in security analytics to deliver actionable intelligence. 

Behavioural Analytics--A Closer Look

Mike Huckaby，Vice President of Global Presales, RSA

User behaviour, entity and other variants of analytics are the hot topics in security today. With every new emerging technology comes the usual hype, and false hopes.

Encryption, Apple and Global Implications

Jeffrey Blatt，Of Counsel, Tilleke & Gibbins International

The attempt by the FBI to require Apple to hack its own iPhone is the latest attempt by a government to require access to encrypted data residing on a device and in the cloud. The Apple case, when considered with the U.S. v. Microsoft ‘Outlook.com‘ appeal, represents a perfect storm that will determine the future of our businesses and expectations of privacy. 

Ira Winkler ，President, Secure Mentem

Any attack against significant organizations is labeled ‘sophisticated‘ by default. The reality is that most of these attacks result from inadequate security programs. This review of recent notable incidents will highlight the root vulnerabilities and define an adaptive security strategy to prevent incidents, but more importantly to detect and respond to such incidents before loss can be realized. 

这个思路比较认可。APT硬是被现在的商家炒成了新概念，搞的好像是全新技术。对于一般企业来说，花80%成本解决1%不到的攻击，不值得。况且如作者所说，大部分的APT都是因为企业内部一些基本安全没做好，比如弱口令、通用密码等，解决这些问题才是根本。何况，当前的APT工具也都是事后很久才能发现异常，等发现时数据已经泄露，意义就更不明显了。

Are You Ready for a Breach?

Glenn Gunara-Chen，Executive Director - Fraud Investigation & Dispute Services, EY 

Cybercrime is a growth industry where the returns are great and the risks are low. As such, cybercrime has become the ‘new normal‘ where EY have observed that the ‘protect and control‘ mentality is no longer sufficient. In order to adequately address cyber-breaches, it is necessary for organizations to develop a strong, centralized response framework as part of the enterprise risk management strategy.
