Exploring the Impact of the modern attack surface and the case for continuous security monitoring

When:  Jan 27, 2021 from 12:30 to 13:30 (ET)
Associated with  Melbourne Chapter

As companies have shifted to a cloud-first architecture and adopted continuous deployment and DevOps practices the exposed attack surfaces of these organisations have become more fluid and evolve rapidly.

 

This pace has exposed new types of vulnerabilities and security issues including those that are ephemeral in nature but often have critical security impact and static, point in time security assessment is failing to keep up.

 

This presentation will explore our research into ephemeral security vulnerabilities in the modern attack surface and our experience applying this to real world environments through bug bounties. Specifically, we will detail how ephemeral application security vulnerabilities are introduced and explore methods and techniques to find these issues with detailed examples of critical ephemeral issues found when applying our research to bug bounty programs.

 

We will also present the case for continuous security assessment as well as strategies and techniques that organisations can apply to prevent these issues.
