In Depth Technical overview of OWASP WebGoat, a deliberately insecure web application designed to teach web application security and provide an understanding of security issues by exploiting real vulnerabilities, including Open Source libraries - the project started 10 years ago and has had over 1,000,000 downloads. There are currently over 30 lessons, including those dealing with issues such as Cross-site Scripting (XSS), Access Control, Thread Safety, Hidden Form Field Manipulation, Parameter Manipulation, Weak Session Cookies, Blind SQL Injection, Numeric SQL Injection, String SQL Injection, Web Services and Fail Open Authentication.

'''Abstract - 1 Kit, 8 Steps, 30 Days. How we Raised Application Security Awareness'''
 
  
−
We created an application security awareness kit for organisations to run a month long secure coding awareness enhancement program with their developers. We shipped 362 physical kits including an interactive quiz, giveaways and other incentives. During this session you will learn how to effectively educate developers on secure coding best practices, play an interactive gamified session and demonstrate your knowledge and win your very own secure development kits.

Today, more and more open source is consumed by developers. We saw last week when Apache disclosed the latest Struts2 vulnerability with a CVSS score of 9.8, that we need to ensure that we are consuming secure open source libraries in our software development processes - we should treat it as a supply chain. We studied the patterns and practices exhibited by 3,000 high-performance software development organisations, teams around the world are consuming BILLIONS of open source and third-party components. The good news: they are accelerating time to market. The bad news: 1 in 17 components they are using include known security vulnerabilities. This session aims to enlighten application security and development professionals by sharing results from the State of the Software Supply Chain Report -- a blend of public and proprietary data with expert research and analysis, specifically:

The IoT Security Foundation is an industry group set up in 2015 to document and promulgate best security practice for IoT devices and systems.  In December 2016 it published its initial set of guidelines and its "Trust Framework", initially aimed at connected consumer products.  Together these are intended to support a process by which any party in the IoT supply chain can apply best practice in developing, supplying and supporting its products and services, so that we can build a "supply chain of trust".  The Foundation has 79 members from across the IT industry ranging from large multi-nationals to one-man-bands, including several universities.  Work continues and revised and updated documents will be released in June and December 2017, widening the scope to cover other types of product and service.  This presentation will give an overview of the IoTSF and its activities.

Abstract – “Secure Supply Chains”

Today, more and more open source is consumed by developers. We saw last week when Apache disclosed the latest Struts2 vulnerability with a CVSS score of 9.8, that we need to ensure that we are consuming secure open source libraries in our software development processes - we should treat it as a supply chain.

Also listen to Brian talk about the struts 2 vulnerability announcement, how you can determine if you're affected, what you can do about it and how a secure supply chain would mitigate the risk.

Background

OWASP (Open Web Application Security Project is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit worldwide charitable organisation focused on improving the security of application software. Their mission is to make application security visible, so that people and organisations can make informed decisions about true application security risks.

The Department of Computing & Technology at Anglia Ruskin University is enhancing its curricula and capabilities in information security following its successful BSc(Hons) Information Security and Forensic Computing pathway. Establishing a joint professional networking group with OWASP concentrating on aspects of computing and application security is a key part of this enhancement. A key aim the department is working towards is developing a MSc Information Security specialising in Application Security and as part of this activity looking to develop and a local Information Security Student Society.
