Talks

Introduction

Amber Oleson, Cybersecurity Practice Manager at Deja vu Security


Opening remarks

Adam Cecchetti, CEO at Deja vu Security


The Secure Development Lifecycle

Jeff Costlow, Director of Security at ExtraHop

This lessons-learned talk by Jeff Costlow of ExtraHop is about building secure software in a small to medium sized dev shop. It covers the phases of the Secure Development Lifecycle and will discuss each phase with practical recommendations for implementations.


Threat Modeling: Amplifying the Benefits

Valery Berestetsky and Bob Fruth, Principal Product Security Leaders at GE Healthcare

Over the years, Threat Modeling has progressed from its original focus on client-server software systems into a very well understood process that is widely applicable. Threat models have been created for complex hardware and software systems ranging from operating systems to ATMs to automobiles to devices to the Internet of Things.

So what does Threat Modeling mean for your organization? How do you manage the details and focus on the highest risk interfaces and attack surface? What steps should you take to ensure that threat modeling yields the best possible result without becoming yet another mind-numbing process exercise? In this talk, two software industry veterans will seek to provide answers to these and other threat modeling questions, including discussing best practices and approaches for fully assessing and understanding of the attack surface and risks of complex systems and devices.


Data Security in Public Clouds

Mikkel Wilson, Founder at Oblivious.io

Data security exists on a gradient from blogs (broadcast information) to military (InfoSec is life or death). Enterprises and small businesses often fall closer to blogs than military and, as a result, breaches are frequent. Tools such as ZK-proofs, elliptic curve crypto, and HMACs exist to make applications more secure but they're not widely adopted. This is a primer on which tools to use, how to use them safely, and how to write your own. It's time we think more like a military when building apps.


Achieving Rapid Feedback for Application Security

Jeff Tucker, Senior Software Engineer at Peach Tech

This lessons-learned talk is about building secure software in a small to medium sized dev shop. It covers the phases of the Secure Development Lifecycle and will discuss each phase with practical recommendations for implementations.
