How Billion Dollar Enterprises Manage Application Security at Scale
Security Compass recently completed a research study by surveying companies across multiple industries with the goal of discovering how large, complex organizations address application security at scale. The majority of respondents surveyed were multinational organizations who reported annual earnings greater than $1 billion USD. Through this new research study, we have gleamed novel insights on how large organizations manage application security at scale. Through this presentation, we will reveal aggregated insights, industry trends, and best practices that illuminate how organizations are addressing application security at scale, so that you may apply and compare these learnings to the state of application security at your own organization.
Speaker: Altaz Valani
Altaz Valani is a Research Director at Security Compass responsible for managing the overall research vision and team. Prior to joining Security Compass, Altaz was a Senior Research Director in the Application Development Practice at Info-Tech Research Group providing IT managers, directors, and senior managers with guidance and analysis around application development – including Agile, Cloud, Mobile, and the overall SDLC. His other past positions include Senior Manager at KPMG, and various entrepreneurial and intrapreneurial positions where he worked side by side with senior-level stakeholders at blue chip clients to drive business value through software development.
Altaz enjoys coding, teaching, and the challenge of learning. He received his BEng in Computer Engineering from McMaster University, and his MBA from the University of Western Ontario. AltazMAS!

Introduction to Application Security and OWASP Top 10 Risks (part 2 of 2)
Want to learn more about the security challenges developers face? This session will provide easy to understand, demo-driven examples of four common application vulnerabilities. You’ll see the attack in action, learn how the attack works, learn how it can be prevented, and watch a successful defensive counter.
This session will be covering the following components of the OWASP Top 10:
- A1 – Injection
- A3 – Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
- A8 – Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
- A10 – Unvalidated Redirects and Forwards
The source code used in the demo is freely available and uses a Java/JEE stack.

- Understanding and Preventing Cross-Site Request Forgery Attacks
Date: Feb 10th, 12 Noon - 1:30pm Location: Univ of Rochester College Town – Building 3
- Speaker
- John King
- Slides http://www.johnnking.com/slides/csrf/
Ranked #8 on the OWASP Top 10, “Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) is an attack that forces an end user to execute unwanted actions on a web application in which they're currently authenticated.” (OWASP Wiki)
CSRF vulnerabilities are commonplace and easily missed by developers who are unfamiliar with this class of attack. Unlike injection vulnerabilities, they do not become apparent during testing unless you know exactly what to look for. This session will provide an introduction to CSRF vulnerabilities, and will include an attack demonstration and practical examples that prevent this type of vulnerability.
John is a web application developer with 10+ years of experience, with a focus on product management, user-experience, and application security. He has recently joined RIT ITS as a Senior Web Programmer / Analyst. He also serves as an officer of the Rochester chapters of OWASP and ISSA, and helps plan the annual Rochester Security Summit.

NodeJS has become an industry standard for deploying agile web applications. This talk provides an introduction to NodeJS – what it is, what it isn’t, how to get it running, and common elements that get deployed with Node (such as Grunt and Bower). With a firm understanding of the platform, we'll then examine common problems and security risks associated with NodeJS applications, as well as what options are currently available to secure and audit NodeJS projects.

- Introduction to OWASP Application Security – Building and Breaking Applications
Date: Sept 18th 12 noon - 1:30pm
- Speaker
- Ralph Durkee, Principal Security Consultant, CISSP, C|EH, GSEC, GCIH, GSNA, GCIA, GPEN
Application Security continues to be the most challenging and demanding area for securing our information. Even large organizations like Google and Microsoft that are well funded and have a strong commitment to security, have difficulty developing secure software. Too often, when a vulnerability is found and a software patch is provided, the initial patch is soon found to be lacking and is still vulnerable. The initial patch for the recent Android StageFright vulnerability is a prime example. So yes, writing secure software is a serious challenge, but it can be done. Knowing how to build secure software and how to break insecure software can be both fun and profitable. There is and will continue to be a growing demand for developers and application penetration testers that “get it”. We'll discuss specific examples from the OWASP Top 10 and the OWASP secure coding principles about how things can go very wrong, and what we can do to keep the bad guys out.
