• 20h00 - 21h00: Logging: not just a good idea (by Eddy Vanlerberghe)
  

Presentation + discussion: During the design and implementation of applications, logging is often not considered to be a vital factor in the overall security, but merely one of the tools of the trade used by developers so that runtime errors can easily be traced to their root cause in the application source. As a result, lack of decent security logs usually becomes clear when they are needed the most: when an incident has occurred. Incidents where logging plays a crucial role could be disputes over whether or not a customer issued a certain transaction (non-repudiation), intruders have compromised bank accounts (forensic investigation) or even foil an ongoing attack when suspicious traffic is being registered (e.g. lock out IP addresses of suspected attackers) This presentation will handle different aspects of what constitutes secure application logging: what to log, when to log, access to log information etc.

Eddy Vanlerberghe has extensive experience as a developer. He has been involved in development of commercial Internet Web applications since 1996. In 1999 he joined the company Netvision, which was first renamed to Ubizen and even later the company became Cybertrust. In 2007 the company was acquired by VerizonBusiness. Mr. Vanlerberghe was part of the development teams for security related products like ETS Multisecure, EasyPayment and the web application level firewall DMZShield. Since 2005 he has been part of the Application Security team where he was involved in all aspects of application security.
