Track: Security War Stories
Location:
- Dumbo / Navy Yard
Day of week:
- Tuesday
Building secure infrastructure, networks, and office spaces is not just an intellectual exercise or a means to be compliant with law. Real-life adversaries are constantly attempting to defraud, abuse, infiltrate, socially engineer, and compromise any network that holds value. These adversaries are creative - we, as defenders, can learn more from their real-world tactics than we can from any academic study or hypothetical strategy discussion. This track explores real attacks, the lessons learned, and the improved systems that are built in response.

Security @SlackHQ
As developers, we use logs and metrics every day. Modern development and operations teams use this data to guide their decisions. We can find performance issues, hotspots, memory leaks, and broken networks or hosts. We also use this information to help with capacity planning and to prioritize our development time.
In this talk, I will discuss the ways an organization should approach looking at this information to make informed...

Director - Penetration Testing / Red Team @Yahoo
We know that scale, size, and complexity affects security in huge ways. As our deployments grow in size, the requirement for automation brings with it the inherent challenges of authentication, authorization, and a long list of other security controls. But, how do scale, size, and complexity affect your adversaries’ offense operations?
This talk will explore how we look at offense in a world of large containerized deployments...

Penetration Tester & Social Engineer @BishopFox
The fault of the computer system is that it can only follow instructions. The fault of the human is that it can only make judgement calls. However, when we think about this in relation to information security, what happens when these two factors collide? Hint: bad stuff.
Together, we will explore how social engineering can be used in conjunction with technical attacks to create sophisticated and destructive attack chains, share...
