Breaking Browsers
Friday, September 10, 3:10 – 3:55 PM Doheny Beach
Did you know a malicious website, laced with JavaScript malware, can steal passwords for other websites stored in Firefox's Password Manager using nothing but garden variety Cross-Site Scripting? How about JavaScript's ability to mine out HTML form auto-complete data in Internet Explorer 6 and 7 (about one-third of the Web)? This hack could be used to reveal a user's first name, last name, aliases, email addresses, physical address, etc. What about forcing Web browsers to evict all of their cookies—thereby automatically logging users out of all their current sessions, delete tracking cookies, and so on?

Technically speaking, all of these Web hacking techniques and others are publicly documented, only just not very well-known or advertised. For whatever reason they've been ignored by the browser vendors and Web security researchers. Time to bring them up to the surface.

Industry Experts Panel - Risk Management
Thursday, September 16, 2:20 PM - 3:10 PM
Room: Italian Suite Two

Risk Management is still very much an area fraught with challenges for the Information professional. Addressing risk is a central part of any security practice, and the better we can manage risk the more effective, efficient and aligned to the overall business plan. Our speakers will discuss how we can best formalize the Risk Management plan to improve security and the quality of our Infosec decision making.

2,000 Websites Later
Friday, September 17, 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM

WhiteHat Security has performed vulnerability assessments on roughly 2,000 websites, identified tens of thousands of security flaws, and interacted with their owners about how to deal with them. From this experience we've learned some invaluable lessons about the systemic nature of Web security challenges and the need for heterogeneous and customized solutions. As the Web takes center stage in IT security groups must be capable of more than spotting the weaknesses and relaying generic advice. IT security groups will need to offer strategic application security planning regarding where to start, what should be done next, how to align incentives, track progress, measure success, and more importantly justify investment. These skills often do not come naturally, but this is how the next generation will differentiate themselves from the rest.
