== Threat Modelling Gamification: How to get developers to think differently at secure coding ==

[[File:Vancouver1000x450.png]]
'''Date:''' September 27, 2018  // '''Location:''' OpenDNS/CISCO, 675 W Hastings St, Suite 600, Vancouver, BC, Canada<br>'''Registration''' is required and [https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/owasp-vancouver-threat-modelling-gamification-how-to-get-developers-to-think-differently-at-secure-tickets-49761724658 available here]
 
  
'''Speaker:''' Dana Epp<br>'''Abstract:''' The concept of writing safer, more resilient software against the threat landscape of today is a daunting task. Especially when tight budgets and deadlines are constantly under pressure and the rapid adoption of faster release cycles makes it far too easy to 'skip' thinking about the security of the systems and data we rely on to deliver our software. In this session, Dana will introduce threat modeling in a way to help you educate your developers and DevOps on how to look for threats and how to think like an attacker, all while having a bit of fun. From learning how to draw developers in with gamification using a simple card game called 'Elevation of Privilege' that focuses on identifying threats in your software to leveraging free tools published by Microsoft to aid you in documenting and responding to such threats, you will walk away with a better understanding of how to look at your software more defensively. Practical exercises and real world discussions will strengthen the presentation and re-enforce the learning objective... to write safer, more secure software in every sprint.

'''Speaker Bio:''' Dana Epp has spent decades as an architect that focuses on helping secure software, data and infrastructure. When he's not helping to build and grow software companies he's advising others on adapting and embracing the ever changing landscape of IT. As both a Microsoft Regional Director and Azure Security MVP, he spends a great deal of time on security engineering in the cloud, focused on building safe, decoupled systems. His latest project is a cloud threat protection platform for Azure, which you can check out at www.auditwolf.com. You can also follow him at www.danaepp.com.

'''Abstract:''' Software development practices have evolved quite a bit in the recent years, from Waterfall, to the multiple flavors of Agile and now into DevOps.

This presentation aims to cover the main reasons why security teams are failing to bolt on security into the current development models. It also shine some light into the difference between traditional security, DevOps + Security and DevSecOps and expose some of the processes, tools and cultural changes required for a successful DevSecOps organization./<br>

'''Speaker:''' Karim Lalji // '''Location:''' Mozzila's Vancouver office (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/contact/spaces/vancouver/, buzz 209)<br>
 
'''Abstract:''' Modern software environments have adopted new methodologies to developing products including continuous integration and continuous delivery, more commonly referred to CI/CD. Application security testing and vulnerability management is an important aspect in software environments; unfortunately this practice is often lacking in both effectiveness and requisite knowledge when dealt with from an applications perspective as opposed to traditional IT infrastructures. The challenges are further extended in CI/CD environments where critical code is merging into production at regular intervals without proper security coverage.<br>
 
This talk will aim to provide individuals with a working understanding of application security testing (AST) as well as vulnerability management in a modern software enterprise employing DevOps practices, and more specifically a CI/CD pipeline. The talk will discuss security testing at different stages of the S-SDLC from source code analysis to penetration testing and how to effectively manage vulnerabilities. The discussion is applicable to anyone with an interest in security or software in general but is of particular relevance to managers and architects interested in building an effective application security program.
 
  
'''Speaker Bio:''' Karim has a background in application security particularly in the banking/finance industries and currently works in a senior offensive security consulting role conducting penetration testing and threat/vulnerability assessments for a variety of clients. Karim was a software engineer in his past life and securing applications has been a strong focus for a good portion of his career.

'''Speaker:''' Miles (San-Tsai) Sun<br>
 
'''Abstract:''' Using a small number of generic payloads to discover high-risk web vulnerabilities (e.g., SQL injection, Remote Code Execution) is highly desirable during a penetration test.  In this talk, I will present and demonstrate a lightweight vulnerability detection approach complimenting to traditional automatic scanners. Using an expression probing technique, this approach can systematically probe whether user-controlled input is treated as code by the server-side program logic, as well as the situational context of the injected payload, and its underlying language. Compared to automatic vulnerability scanners, this approach imposes tiny network footprint (e.g., quick, negligible system impact, avoid IP blocking), is agnostic to application platform/language, and friendly to Web Application Firewall/Intrusion Detection and Prevention System. This lightweight detection technique could address or reduce many common challenges faced by penetration testers.
