SACON started with a simple idea to grow the security architecture community. We have a lot of competence in hacking but we have a very limited community for the defenders, security architects …etc. So we started SACON – Asia’s 1st Security Architecture Conference, to solve this competency gap. SACON is organized by CISO Platform, the largest social collaboration platform exclusively for CISOs and senior information security executives with 60,000+ subscribers.

AUTHOR OF ‘LINUX FORENSIC’, FREQUENT SPEAKER AT DEFCON, BLACKHAT, BSIDES, GRRCON, SHAKACON

About Speaker : Dr. Phil Polstra is currently the professor at bloomsburg university of pennsylvania. He is the author of ‘Windows Forensic’ and ‘Linux Forensic’. He is a frequent speaker and trainer at Blackhat, Defcon, BSides, Grrcon, Shakacon and many more. You can check a compiled list of his past talks at some conferences here

WORKSHOP : PRACTICAL SECURITY ARCHITECTURE (1/2 DAY)

TOPIC BRIEF :

My session will show how to design a security architecture that guides an organisation on what safeguards must be implemented in order to address real world risks and threats. Organisations have a limited budget, the question is, how does the security architect determine what to spend their limited time and budget on in order to obtain the best outcome and return on investment. My method of designing a security architecture brings together the following: Sherwood Applied Business Security Architecture (SABSA), Intel’s Threat Agent Risk Assessment (TARA), Lockheed Martin’s Cyber Kill Chain and threat driven approach, Mandiant’s M-Trends report, Verizon’s Data Breach Investigations Report, ASD Essential 8 and Mitre’s Adversarial Tactics, Techniques & Common

Knowledge. The structured use of all of these techniques and methodologies (whole and in parts) will allow security practitioners to design a security architecture that addresses the threat actors and adversaries most likely to launch attacks and mitigate their specific tactics and procedures that will be used.

 

DETAILED AGENDA :

1.List the tools and techniques available to design a pragmatic and practical security
architecture, their purpose, use and why they’re relevant. What are the core aspects of a
security architecture that must be considered?

2. Not all security controls are created equal. Describe and apply a methodology to select the most effective controls to address an organisation’s key risks. How can you tell if your
security architecture is fit for purpose?

3. Understand the controls that make up basic cyber security hygiene and offer the best return on investment based on industry reports and an analysis of real world cyber-attacks. Have you got the basics covered?

4. Understand the security investment portfolio and how it supports an organisation’s defensive posture. Spread your risk and diversify your security investments.

5. How to effectively reduce an attacker’s dwell time. Simply because your organisation’s
defences have been penetrated does not mean that data loss or system destruction is a
given. Assume breach and put in place effective security measures to restrict your
adversaries from actioning on their objectives.

Theory will be reinforced through the use of practical examples and exercises where you can put the tools and techniques into practice.

ATTENDEE REQUIREMENTS :

Attendees should have a least 1-2 years’ experience in information security architecture or
information security management along with a good understanding of frameworks such as NIST SCF and ISO 27001. No time will be spent explaining information security and risk management basics. No special equipment is required. Session materials will be provided on the day.

WORKSHOP : ADVANCED DECEPTION FOR RED & BLUE TEAMS (1 DAY)

TOPIC BRIEF :

Defending an enterprise network is increasingly challenging. With various components and integrations, implicit trusts, third party applications, various operating systems, backward compatibility and legacy applications present in a network, often an adversary just need to go for a weak default misconfiguration or feature to get a foothold. Once a foothold is available, adversaries can laterally move and abuse features and trusts to gain access to key information and data. This can be done by “living off the land” and using only the built-in tools of an operating system.

The days of reacting to an attack are past. Defenders and Blue Teams must exploit the attacker mind-set of going for “the lowest hanging fruit”. Deception provides capabilities of detecting and shaping the path an adversary with less chances of false positives, increased certainty and reveal what an adversary wants to get from your network. Deception definitely increases the costs for an adversary.

In this training, we will understand, learn, implement and design different types of deceptions and use of decoys, lures, canaries, accounts, tokens and a lot more. We will use built-in OS tools and scripts to quickly deploy deception techniques enterprise-wide with and without agents on computers. We will see some unique deception techniques and also use existing ones.

Deception for Red Teams will also be practiced. Red Teams have been using deception more effectively – Social engineering, phishing, fake documents and more attacks. We will practice some of the attacks but focus more on identifying deception by Blue Team and counter-deception. We will also see case studies of stopping advanced adversaries using deception techniques.

 

DETAILED AGENDA :

Some of the deception techniques, used in the course:

  • Documents – MS Office and others
  • Files – Trusted executables, scripts and more
  • Active Directory – Groups, SPNs, ACLs and more
  • Credentials – Windows, SSH, AD
  • Databases – data, credentials and more
  • Host and Enterprise applications
  • Designing deception
  • Wireless Deception
  • Identification
  • Rapid deployment at scale using WMI and PowerShell


ATTENDEE REQUIREMENTS :

People who should attend include Network administrators, security researchers, red-blue teams, pentesters. Attendee should have basic understanding of Windows domains. Participant should bring system with 4 GB RAM and ability to install OpenVPN client and RDP to Windows boxes. Attendees will get free one month access to a lab mimicking an Enterprise network, during and after the training & one month subscription to Pentester Academy

WORKSHOP : AUTOMATED DEFENCE USING CLOUD SERVICES FOR AWS, AZURE, GCP (1 DAY)

TOPIC BRIEF :

Monitoring for attacks and defending against them in real-time is crucial. Defending our cloud infrastructure during attacks can prove to nightmare even with the currently available solutions in the market. We live in cloud first era where the cloud is our first choice of deployment due to the convenience and scalability. In this workshop, we will learn how to defend our cloud infrastructure using Serverless and Elastic Stack. Elastic Stack will collect, analyse logs and triggers alerts based on configured rule-set. Serverless stack drives the defence to perform automated blocking. It will be configured based on the use case and type of attacks. The currently solution works on AWS, Azure and GCP. It can be extended for other providers and custom solutions like in house firewalls, IPS, etc.

Some of the real-world scenarios we will be covering during the workshop includes

* SSH Brute-force detection & defence
* Content Management System Audit analysis (Azure)
* AWS IAM CloudTrail logs to detect and defend against backdoors (AWS)
* Container logs to defend Kubernetes security attacks(GCP)

 

DETAILED AGENDA :

We start by setting the stage for automated defence by deploying a centralized monitoring & alerting system. Then we focus on advancing the setup by adding Serverless stack to defend against the cloud infrastructure based on the near real-time alerts to match DevOps speed.

Some of the real-world scenarios we will be covering during the workshop includes

* SSH Brute-force detection & defence
* Content Management System Audit analysis (Azure)
* AWS IAM CloudTrail logs to detect and defend against backdoors (AWS)
* Container logs to defend Kubernetes security attacks(GCP)


High Level Overview:

WORKSHOP : CYBER LAW PRACTICES FOR INCIDENT RESPONSE (1/2 DAY)

TOPIC BRIEF :

Cybersecurity breach incidents continue to increase in number and frequency that is
compelling the board of directors to focus on the oversight and management of the
cybersecurity incidents. The financial losses and irreparable reputational damage such
incidents inflict cannot be overcome unless there is a clear strategy defined by the board to
deal with it. Many corporations are making wise investments related to security that is
aiding to create a significant difference when cybercriminals try to attack.
Evaluating the impact of any cybersecurity breach incidents cannot be known immediately
post incident as most of the times the corporate do not know what the criminals will be
doing with the data exfiltration. Successful cyber attacks are launched against the
corporations who do not have a strategy to implement safe security practices in protecting
the consumer or employee personal information. Majority of the cyber-attacks on the
corporations are due to the absence of implementation of internal controls to protect the
sensitive information. Fear of negative publicity and undue delay in the legal proceedings
also prevent them from notifying to the law enforcement authorities.
The boards should clearly draw directions on how and when to contact the law enforcement
and other regulatory bodies regarding insider or outsider threats, keeping in view the legal
requirements of notifying any cybersecurity breach incidents. Working with law
enforcement agencies has some significant benefits like compelling the third parties to
disclose data that are required to know the source of the attack and also reconstruct how
the incident took place.
Working closely with the Law enforcement will also be looked favourably by the
shareholders, the public, and other associated parties. The successful prosecution of
cybercriminals will not entirely forestall the further harm but, also deter others from
committing the crimes.

DETAILED AGENDA :

  • How Cybercrimes are evolving & how enterprises should gear up to respond?
  • What steps do organizations need to choose to draw clean lines of accountability
    and responsibility for cybersecurity efforts to fend off and cut the impact of
    cybercrime?
  • What are the benefits of working closely with the Law enforcement agencies, while
    dealing with any cybercrime incidents? What are the best practices for Law
    enforcement interactions?
  • Legal aspects of dealing with the cybercrime incidents- Role of corporate legal
    counsel to help draw effective strategies.
  • How to bridge the gap in the perception of Cybersecurity governance effectiveness
    between the board and the security team.

WORKSHOP : PRACTICAL THREAT HUNTING USING OPEN SOURCE TOOLS (1/2 DAY)

TOPIC BRIEF :

Threat hunting can seem intimidating at first. How can you come to grips with threats that
don’t use known malware or indicators of compromise? How can you deduce the
presence of “fileless” attacks that leave no files or malicious tools on a hard drive?
This workshop will uncover the art of threat hunting, looking for what gets missed using
automated tools and use cases leveraging open source hunting tools and techniques, including hunting in memory, hunting on the cheap and hunting for persistence.
We will begin with an overview of threat hunting, then introduce techniques you can use today to stop unknown suspicious activity in your network. You will learn how to find ongoing attacks by proactively searching for signs of fileless attacks, persistence mechanisms, evidence of lateral movement, and credential theft.In this practical session, you will learn how to create your own enterprise-wide hunting platform using ELK with data enrichment feeds. Additionally, creating the means of retrieving the data from the various endpoints and data sources will also be introduced and explained throughout the session. This workshop will teach you how to not only set up an ELK server specifically geared to facilitate powerful hunting, but will also show you how to collect data efficiently from every single endpoint on your network in a very short span of time, thereby enabling you to proactively hunt on a regular basis.


DETAILED AGENDA :

  • Threat Hunting Models and Hypothesis Building
  • Threat Hunting using input from Threat Intelligence
  • Indicators of Compromise
  • Knowing how to find bad – Log Analysis, Web Application Logs, Network Forensics and Packet Analysis, DNS and DHCP Log analysis and real time packet sniffing
  • Data collection methods
  • Logstash
  • Elasticsearch basics
  • Kibana basics
  • Building Visualizations
  • Building Dashboards
  • Data enrichment
  • Real-time data collection
  • Machine Learning for Threat Hunting
  • Final Exercise – 3 Use Cases to Hunt

ATTENDEE REQUIREMENTS :

  • Attendees must have windows 10 laptop / Mac OS with atleast 16GB RAM and atleast 100gb of free disk space
  • Virtualization software capable of running VMDKs and OVA files (Preferred Kali)
