Presentation Abstracts

The Building Security In Maturity Model (BSIMM)

Gary McGraw, Cigital

As a discipline, software security has made great progress over the last decade. There are now at least 34 large scale software security initiatives underway in enterprises including global financial services firms, independent software vendors, defense organizations, and other verticals. In 2008, Brian Chess, Sammy Migues and I interviewed the executives running nine initiatives using the twelve practices of the Software Security Framework as our guide. Those companies among the nine who graciously agreed to be identified include: Adobe, The Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC), EMC, Google, Microsoft, QUALCOMM, and Wells Fargo. The resulting data, drawn from real programs at different levels of maturity was used to guide the construction of the Building Security In Maturity Model (BSIMM). This talk will describe the observation-based maturity model, drawing examples from many real software security programs. A maturity model is appropriate because improving software security almost always means changing the way an organization works ---people, process, and automation are all required. While not all organizations need to achieve the same security goals, all successful large scale software security initiatives share common ideas and approaches. Whether you rely on the Cigital Touchpoints, Microsoft's SDL, or OWASP CLASP, there is much to learn from practical experience. Use the BSIMM as a yardstick to determine where you stand and what kind of software security plan will work best for you.

Agile and Secure: Can We Do Both?

Jason Li and Jerry Hoff, Aspect Security

Agile is taking the software development world by storm, but security has been slow to adapt. What can we learn from the Agile movement? Is it possible to achieve security and remain Agile? Jason and Jerry will share Aspect Security's experiences working with Agile teams to gain assurance and save money. They'll compare and contrast traditional waterfall and agile processes and show how we can achieve assurance and security while remaining true to Agile principles.

Deploying Secure Web Applications with OWASP Resources

Kuai Hinojosa, NY University and OWASP

Universities are key to making application security visible and the need to educate software developers about application security as an aspect of proper software development has never been more important. In this presentation I will share how OWASP resources can be used by universities to develop, test and deploy secure web applications. I will discuss challenges that Universities currently face integrating a pplication security best practices, describe how OWASP tools and resources are currently used at New York University to test for most common web application flaws. I will introduce projects such as the OWASP Enterprise Security API which can be used to mitigate most common flaws in web applications and share initiatives the OWASP Global Education Committee is currently working on. If you are interested in securing web applications, and supporting the OWASP Global Education Committee efforts you don't want to miss this!

The Logic and Semantic Layer of Web Application Security

Thomas Schreiber, SecureNet

Testing Web Application Security mostly focusses on technical weaknesses only. But there is a huge field of potential weaknesses above the server layer and beyond the implementational aspects. Even if a web application is totally free from security bugs in code and system, it may still be vulnerable to dangerous threats. It is the kind how the business logic is mapped onto software, that gives an attacker a starting point for his bad intents. The presentation shows, illustrated with various real examples, how a clever hacker may reveal sensitive data - including credit card data -, enter into user accounts or conduct a denial-of-service on the whole infrastructure - not only the server - by attacking the logical and semantical layers. The presentation also gives hints on how to avoid these pitfalls.


Making a Case for Data Security to Network-Centric Peers and Managers and Leveraging Web Application Firewalls (WAF) and Database Activity Monitoring (DAM) to Augment Secure Coding & Review Practices

Brian Contos, Imperva

Information system security has changed. The days of being focused on network security measures, operating system vulnerabilities, and open ports, while still important, is no longer the main concern for most organizations. Today, the attackers – organized crime, competitors, nation-states, and malicious insiders are going after the assets that process and store data: applications and databases. The criminals are already fighting the fight on this front. In response, organizations are deploying new defenses - adopting application and data security countermeasures that allow them to protect, monitor and respond to nefarious activity.

OWASP ROI: Optimize Security Spending using OWASP

Matt Tesauro

Considering the current economic times, security spending is tighter than ever. This presentation will cover the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) projects and how they can improve your application security posture in a budgetfriendly way. OWASP is an open community dedicated to enabling organizations to develop, purchase, and maintain applications that can be trusted. The OWASP Foundation is a notforprofit entity and provides unbiased, practical, costeffective information about application security. Projects covered include the OWASP Top 10, OWASP Testing Guide, OpenSAMM Enterprise Security API (ESAPI), Application Security Verification Standard (ASVS), Application Security Desk Reference (ASDR) and others. A case study of a specific company's success with implementing OWASP methodologies and tools will also be provided. In this case study, the company realized a saving of nearly $400,000 in year one.

Software Assurance Maturity Model (SAMM)

Pravir Chandra, Fortify

The Software Assurance Maturity Model (SAMM) (http://www.opensamm.org) is a flexible and prescriptive framework for building security into a software development organization. Covering more than typical SDLC-based models for security, SAMM enables organizations to self-assess their security assurance program and then use recommended roadmaps to improve in a way that's aligned to the specific risks facing the organization. Beyond that, SAMM enables creation of scorecards for an organization's effectiveness at secure software development throughout the typical governance, development, and deployment business functions. Scorecards also enable management within an organization to demonstrate quantitative improvements through iterations of building a security assurance program. This workshop will introduce the SAMM framework and walk through useful activities such as assessing an assurance program, mapping an existing organization to a recommended roadmap, and iteratively building an assurance program. Time allowing, additional case studies will also be discussed. SAMM is an open a free project and has recently been added under the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP).

SQL Injection: Amplifying Data Lekeage

Ulisses Castro

Talk about how some SQL Injection techniques works and how they can be more effective when mixin with some available database native functions.

The main idea is how you can amplifying the amount of data that is downloaded per request to the web server.

Automated SQL Ownage Techniques

Sebastian Cufre, Core Security

This talk is about web application security assessment. In particular, in this talk we set to improve the assessment process for SQL injection vulnerabilities by providing the means to discard exogenous "false positive" alarms and confirm exploitable vulnerabilities.

We propose a black-box technique to detect and exploit SQL injection vulnerabilities. The exploitation provides an interface to execute arbitrary SQL code through them. Therefore, we are able to thoroughly assess the impact of the vulnerability (e.g., understand what a hacker can do).

The core of this talk is in examining the difficulties that appear while trying to expose vulnerability and how to do a black-box interaction to automatically construct an exploit.

Praticas e ferramentas fundamentais para o desenvolvimento de software seguro (Tools and Practices for Secure Software Development)

Cassio Goldschmidt, Symantec

Implementing a security program for the whole application life cycle can be a daunting and costly task. So, in the development of this talk, we will demonstrate how it is possible to lessen the risk of this program, using high quality resource freely available on the Internet and studying the practices considered fundamental by SAFECode members (EMC, Juniper, Microsoft, Nokia, SAP, symantec).

Programação Segura utilizando Análise Estática (Secure Programming with Static Analysis)

Philippe Sevestre, LeadComm

Creating secure code requires more than just good intentions. Programmers need to know how to make their code safe in an almost infinite number of scenarios and configurations. Static source code analysis gives users the ability to review their work with a fine-tooth comb and uncover the kinds of errors that lead directly to vulnerabilities. This talk frames the software security problem and shows how static analysis is part of the solution.

We will look at how static analysis works, how to integrate it into the software development processes, and how to make the most of it during security code review. Along the way we'll look at examples taken from real-world security incidents, showing how coding errors are exploited, how they could have been prevented, and how static analysis can rapidly uncover similar errors.
