Anti-hacking Strategies 
Billy Austin - SAINT 
 
Identifying Vulnerabilities, Threats and eliminating your organization from becoming a victim of Next Generation Attack Tools. 
 
The growing number of vulnerabilities continues to gain momentum each day. While known vulnerabilities remain to be the number one cause of attacks, unfortunately organizations are still playing catch up with the identification and repair process. This session will cover best practices and processes for controlling these vulnerabilities thus eliminating the known vulnerability attack threats. 
 
This session will cover: 
 
Resent intelligence on the development of new automated attack tools 
 
Vulnerability Assessment scanners 
 
Remediation tools and practices 
 
Exploit Trends and Analysis of well-known vulnerabilities 
 
Best Practices for controlling vulnerabilities

Incident Response and the Law
Sponsored By: Guidance Software, Inc.
Tuesday April 29, 2003 8:00 - 8:45 AM
John Patzakis, Esq CEO and President, Guidance Software 
 
Organizations continue to face ever-increasing legal liabilities surrounding the security of sensitive customer and employee data. Effective incident response plans and tools are now crucial in order to properly respond, contain and analyze a computer incident.  
 
Mr. Patzakis will discuss the direct threats to the enterprise and the corresponding incident response plan goals and tactics. Incident response should now serve as a critical component of the information security equation, answering the mandates of several new laws, including: 
 
o Mandated Incident Response Plans Under Federal Regulation 
o New California Mandatory Incident Reporting Law (SB 1386) 
o Liability for Data Destruction under Sarbanes Oxley/SEC Rules  
 
Mr. Patzakis will also provide brief case studies that illustrate the need for proactive use of computer forensics within the enterprise.

The Future of Crime Investigation
Tuesday April 29, 2003 8:45 - 9:30 AM
Mary Riley, Senior Vice President Information Security, Bank of America 
 
Computer technology is changing at an unprecedented rate. our current 100+ Gigabyte drives will begin to approach Terabyte capacity and the word Petabyte (Quadrillions) is now being discussed in planning meetings. Where is computer crime investigation headed?

Getting Operations and Security To Get Along: Collected Best Practices
Tuesday April 29, 2003 9:30 - 10:15 AM
Gene Kim, CTO, Tripwire 
 
One of the biggest challenges facing Information Security executives is 
how to integrate better with their peers in Operations, Audit, and 
Management. All too often, despite sharing common objectives, these 
stakeholders integrate poorly together. Common patterns include Infosec 
defining a policy, only to be ignored by Ops. Worse, the remedy is 
Infosec "fixing" the problem without telling anyone, all too often 
resulting in the entire infrastructure crashing around them. 
 
This briefing presents the results of benchmarking, showing how "best in 
class" Ops and Security organizations work together to create stellar 
service levels (high uptimes, low Mean Time To Repair), incredible cost 
structure (server-to-sysadmin ratios of 100:1 or above), fewest 
incidents, and earliest integration of Infosec requirements in the 
service delivery lifecycle. It turns out that when auditable security 
controls are implemented, what is good for Security is good for 
Operations, and vice versa! 
 
This briefing will show how they achieve this, summarized in the Visible 
Ops methodology, a freely-available process that describes how "best in 
class" operations conduct daily processes. The goals of the Visible Ops 
methodology are to decrease Outage MTTR, improve operational 
efficiencies, and build a "culture of causality" in operations. Visible 
Ops does this by creating auditable controls that create useful metrics 
that can guide audit and future process improvement.

Weakness in Proprietary Encryption - Another Domino
Tuesday April 29, 2003 10:30 - 11:15 AM
Chris Goggans and Jeff Fay, Independent Security Consultants 
 
Many commercial products incorporate ineffective encryption schemes to protect passwords or content, either through a bad choice of algorithm or a poor implementation. This session discusses common problems in commercial products, including several detailed examples of applications whose internal protection schemes have been compromised. Even though users may have few viable alternatives, it is critical that they understand and account for these known vulnerabilities (and their potential impact as part of the "domino effect") when developing their risk management strategy. 

Digital Steganography: The Evolving Threat
Tuesday April 29, 2003 11:15 AM - 12:00 PM
Chet Hosmer, President and CEO of WetStone Technologies, Inc. 
 
Digital steganography, or the hiding of information in a digital carrier, has received increased international attention due to recent high profile incidents. It was only subsequent to 9/11 that both law enforcement and private industry comprehended the threat that these covert communications pose. Whether the danger is corporate espionage, terrorism, or child pornography, continued education and vigilance is necessary as this is a technology that continues to evolve and improve. This presentation will provide the audience with a current "state of affairs" for this area and explore the issues and challenges that we can all expect to face in the very near future.
