Defending Democracy: Confronting Cyber-Threats to Canadian Elections

The use of new technologies in elections has emerged as a key issue in recent years, with concerns
about database hacking, media manipulation, and foreign technological interference leading to public
concern and debate around the world. Recent examples make the relevance of this issue clear. The U.S.
Senate Intelligence Committee found evidence of Russian interference and media manipulation in the
2016 American presidential election. Estonia’s widely respected identity card system, which is used for i-
voting in elections and access to government services, was recently found to be susceptible to identity
theft. Meanwhile, social media has opened up a new domain of political interactions, as illustrated by
claims of Russian bots trying to influence the 2016 Brexit referendum.

While technology has been used in elections for decades, in the form of electronic voting machines and
digital registration databases, the explosion of new technologies and increasing access to these
technologies by citizens and election administrators, demands further academic consideration. This
presentation responds to two major questions, regarding the use of technology in elections around the
world: 1) How is technology used in each stage of the electoral cycle? How prevalent are their usage?
and 2) What are the major security concerns that should be considered? Where is Canada most
vulnerable to security issues?

The new privacy and cybersecurity legal risk landscape

New developments in Canada and around the world have dramatically altered the legal risk associated with cybersecurity. Mandatory data breach notification is here and class action lawsuits are springing up all over the place. Security professionals will increasingly be interacting with lawyers to reduce risk on the front end and in working to respond to incidents that have true legal consequences. This presenation will provide an overview of the new developments and will provide practical advice for security pros in working for their clients and working with lawyers.

People-Centric Security: 2019 Cyber Threat Landscape

Despite tens of billions of dollars spent on security technology globally each year, attacks continue to get through. Canadian organizations continue to lose money, data, and the trust of customers and partners. That’s because today’s cyberattacks target people, not technology. Chris Montgomery of Proofpoint will share real-world stories of people-centric threats, including phishing, credential phishing, email fraud, brute-force attacks, and cloud account takeover.

We’ll look ahead at the trends and events likely to shape the threat landscape in 2019. A shakeout in the cryptocurrency market will change the way threat actors move - and steal - money, while email fraud moves from spoofing identities to using stolen identities, making it more effective and harder to detect. At the same time, attackers will double down on abuse of legitimate infrastructure and state-sponsored actors will increasingly act with impunity as laws and defenses attempt to keep up with new capabilities and targets. Social media threats will overlap with increased compliance concerns while threat actors will continue to refine filtering and targeting capabilities, keeping their attacks under the radar and improving returns on investment. We’ll discuss key actions you can take to prepare your organization with a people-centric approach.

Don't let backup data, administrators or storage be your IT security back door

When it comes to data protection, the risks are high. Too many times companies take adequate protections for live workloads; but are the same standards are applied to the durability of the data protection scheme? Different backup technologies offer different opportunities and risks for security the backup data. Additionally, how can backup technology be resilient for ransomware? Backup expert Rick Vanover shares tips for security professionals:

• Storage security strategies for backups
• Backup resiliency for ransomware strategies
• Identifying backdoors from data protection solutions
• Implementing controls for each step of the data protection process

Avoiding Defeat - Building a Playbook to Survive a Ransomware Attack

Many have succumbed to the various forms on ransom-based malware. Whether it is Cryptolocker, Wannacry, Crysis or the many other forms on ransomware, numerous organizations assume they are not at risk and end up having to respond to a ransomware attack without proper preparation. Full of firsthand case studies and lessons learned during my time handling numerous ransomware-related incidents over the past year to help attendees better prepare for a potential ransomware attack.

During this session we will discuss:
- How does ransomware work, what are some of the more well-known variants (i.e. Petya, Dharma, etc.)?
- How to I prepare my organization in the event that I get hit with ransomware?
- How do I develop a playbook around responding to a ransomware related incident?
- What indicators of compromise should I look out for?
- What do I do if my systems are infected with ransomware? Do I pay the ransom? How do I recover?

Build it Once, Build it Right: Architecting for Detection

Defensible networks are designed to prevent and detect computer attacks, and are hardened at every layer. Per Richard Bejtlich, defensible networks "can be watched" and "limit an intruder’s freedom to maneuver." For example: modern malware often attempts to steal credentials and move laterally via tools such as WMIC, PSExec, and PowerShell. Most host-based firewalls can block (and log) based on applications such as PSExec. Prudent organizations use host-based firewalls to block and log network connections initiated by these tools from "regular" user desktops, and only allow authorized use from system administration drop boxes.

This talk focuses on designing a defensible security architecture that limits an intruder's ability to maneuver, and creates logs when it is successful in doing so. Specific examples will be provided that prevent recent malware such as Petya, NotPetya, SamSam, and others. We will provide an actionable list of techniques that prevent and detect the deadliest events that occur during virtually every successful breach.

Software defined radio (SDR) is a radio comm system where components that are implemented in hardware are now done in software (Winmodems!). What could this mean for you? SDR's are now consumer affordable and through the use of open source software, correct antennas, and some python you can configure a SDR device to receive transmissions from the ISS, download weather images from NOAA, hack a crane (RFQuack), turn on a light bulb, control an RC car, be a cell phone tower and run your own mobile site, or build an IMSI catcher.

Tracing Ransomware Payments in the Bitcoin Ecosystem

Ransomware can prevent a user from accessing a device and its files until a ransom is paid to the attacker, most frequently in bitcoin. With over 500 known ransomware families, it has become an important online threat for law enforcement, security professionals and the public.

We present a data-driven method for identifying and gathering information on bitcoin transactions related to illicit activity based on footprints left on the public bitcoin blockchain. We implement the method on-top-of the GraphSense open-source platform and apply it to empirically analyze transactions related to 35 ransomware families.

The analyses allow us to estimate the lower bound direct financial impact of each ransomware family and the minimum worth of the market for these 35 families, from 2013 to mid-2017. Security analysts, policy-makers and law enforcement agencies can replicate the method and use the statistics provided in this presentation to understand the size of the illicit market and make informed decisions on how best to address the threat.

Supply Chain Risk Management and Early Stage Start-ups

As companies adopt tech from innovative start-ups, traditional risk management becomes obsolete. Serial entrepreneur and infosec practitioner Darren Gallop reveals how far founders will go to meet their venture backed sales targets. This may include being untruthful on security questionnaires! This presentation will provides actionable methods to address the security concerns introduced by working with early stage tech companies. The presentation will provide perspectives on how to address the following concerns while taking advantage of the cutting edge technologies that many startups provide: - The real risk that start-ups face is running out of money before achieving commercial success. Statistically, a start-up is more likely to fail from commercial failure than from breach fallout. This means most start-ups will do the minimal required in order to close deals - Start-ups primarily work from shared workspaces or remote offices and operate entirely in the cloud - They will do whatever it takes to not fail, even if that means exaggerating the truth about their security posture

The Modern State of Insecurity

Online security is in a constant state of flux; we face threats today that are entirely new to those we dealt with only a year or two ago. Yet at the same time, we’re still dealing with the same fundamental threats we were decades ago with the likes of SQL injection and ransomware dating as far back as the 80’s. This dichotomy also plays out in the sophistication of attacks we’re seeing today with news headlines announcing nation state backed espionage with equal regularity to Amazon S3 buckets exposing everything to the public due to simple configuration errors.

In this talk, you’ll see how these threats are evolving and which are the ones we need to be especially conscious of in the modern era. It looks at real world examples of both current and emerging threats and talks about actionable steps we need to take as an industry to stem the flow of data breaches and other malicious activity. The Modern State of Insecurity is a scary yet necessary lesson on how we’re still getting security wrong today.

To become a Cyber Security Leader, Canada must invest in the Next Generation of Workers

An international shortage of cybersecurity talent is expected to grow over the next few years, according to the Information and Communications Technology Council. There's an expected need for more than 1.5 million people to work in cybersecurity globally by 2020. In Canada, cybersecurity job growth averaged 9.2% in 2014-15, compared with 0.7% for all other occupations. 1-in-4 ICT professionals in Canada require cybersecurity skills. As tomorrow’s leaders and innovators, youth are a vital talent pool to meet cyber security skill demands. Under ICTC’s Canadian Youth Cyber Education Initiative, the CyberTitan program (affiliated with the (US) Air Force Association's CyberPatriot Program which is presented by the Northrop Grumman Foundation) focuses on preparing middle and secondary school students with skills for the digital economy by creating learning opportunities for students to engage in hands-on simulated environments that develop skills necessary to pursue post-secondary education programs, to learn skills essential to work in many STEM fields, and to identify roles students can play help to secure our systems.

What Are We Doing Here? Rethinking Security

Have you ever noticed that much of the mission of cyber- and information security professionals seems to be focused on vulnerabilities? Have you ever heard of the risk equation? Perhaps you are familiar with one or more versions that help you derive the risk to your organization (sometimes referred to as residual risk). I have been wondering for a while how to suggest to our industry that there is perhaps TOO much focus on vulnerabilities and not enough attention or focus on the other elements that derive the standard risk equation. Remember how the disclosure of Meltdown/Spectre introduced a "perfect storm" scenario where the vulnerability wasn't easy to patch or fix, and the solution seemed to be break things? This created a situation where the "security solution" wasn't simply to apply the patch - and that left many organizations scrambling to figure out how to deal with this example of a persistent vulnerability. This is a great example of what I've wanted to discuss for a while - what else should we focus on in terms of security if/when the vulnerabilities still remain. Interested? Intrigued? Come join the discussion!

Malicious PowerShell and WMI

Living of the land comprises of using system tools by attackers for malicious purposes. System tools not only provide stability but zero risk of being flagged as malware. This talk is focused on the use of PowerShell and WMI by attackers for malicious purpose. PowerShell and WMI are powerful technologies designed by Microsoft for streamlining administrative workloads, however attackers are abusing this technology for malicious purposes.

PowerShell is installed by default on Microsoft Windows operating system, since windows 7 and windows 2008 r2. WMI is part of windows operating system long before the author bought his first computer, to be precise since Windows NT days. Since WMI and PowerShell are inbuilt system technology It is nearly impossible for traditional security tools to distinguish between legitimate and malicious use of these two technologies. Moreover, while WMI remains elusive, PowerShell has recently gained momentum among system administrators to automate their workloads making it even harder to detect malicious activity. PowerShell is a command line utility build on top of .NET framework. PowerShell contains number of cmdlets to carry out various tasks, new cmdlets are added with each new version of PowerShell. System administrators can simply automate workloads using PowerShell. PowerShell remoting can be used by administrators to execute commands on multiple computers without having to log into each system and running the commands on individual systems. WMI is Microsoft representation of system information which follows the Web Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) built on the Common Information Model (CIM). In layman's terms WMI is a database which contain information about the system. A powerful feature of WMI is WMI eventing. WMI eventing provides the capability to generate alerts on every major or minor change to the system, in turn response triggers can be configured for an alert. A response can be anything from simply generating a log entry to execution of a command or script. An attacker can leverage this to execute a command or a script based on an event. PowerShell and WMI are legitimate system tools making it impossible for defenders to block them. Logging is not enabled by default for both PowerShell and WMI, however once logging is enabled PowerShell and in particular WMI can generate infinitude logs and overloading the log management solution and SOC team. Behavioural analysis can help decipher between legitimate and malicious behaviour.

The purpose of this talk is to educate the audience, including defenders, about PowerShell and WMI. We hope that this would help them to think like an attacker and be creative in implementing controls to flag malicious use of PowerShell and WMI.

One Man Army - Playbook on how to be the first Security Engineer at a company

How often have you heard that 'Early stage startups don't care much about Security because if there is no product, there is nothing to secure?' Although there is merit in the argument that startups need to build product so as to sustain and grow, it often puts the person in charge of securing them in a tricky position. For most startups, this person is the first Security Engineer who can be somewhere between the 10th to 300th employee. By the time the first Security Engineer is on-boarded the attack surface has usually become quite large and he or she faces an uphill battle to go about securing the organization. In such cases, the Security Engineer needs to perform as a 'one-man army' keeping the attackers at bay. In this talk, i will present a playbook on how to perform as one.

MINimum Failure: Breaking a Bitcoin Wallet with Fault Injection

The Trezor is one of the most popular bitcoin wallets. But the entire security relies on the result of a single call to MIN(), and if we can corrupt that comparison that MIN() performs the recovery seed can be dumped. This talk demonstrates how such an attack is possible without removing the enclosure of the wallet, leaving no sign of tampering. A successful attack would allow someone to effectively "clone" the wallet, such that the attacker leaves no trace of the attack, but could later withdraw bitcoins once the balance was sufficiently high to be interesting to the attacker. Countermeasures (which have since been implemented before this public talk) will also be discussed.

Your People Your Digital

Whilst technical solutions to cyber security are of real value, much of the disorder, chaos, loss and risk rests with the humans in your business, suppliers or customers. Merely implementing technological solutions, new software, tools and firewalls is not enough and will not protect you from user negligence, disinterest or abuse. Human orientated learning needs to engage and involve users with actions that make sense and are designed to change behavior.

Through a series of examples users can quickly and easily identify what to do in many situations. An immersive approach that is designed to embed effective choices will help to add value to the technology deployed in any organisation. This approach includes top and middle management who should be prepared to take command, learn about new risks, threats and harm and be able to act promptly.

This talk will demonstrate some simple case studies, using a variety of methods to help engage users in identifying what to do. Most importantly it will help leaders to appreciate the impact of decisions and the need to react, but also to plan and prepare for the next cyber-attack, or at least for the current cyber-attack to become visible.

Threat Decluttering: Baselining to Spark Joy in your Threat Hunting

Does your Threat Hunting Spark Joy? Oftentimes security teams are hindered by having a cluttered environment full of legacy and rogue endpoints. This can make threat hunting frustrating and inefficient.

Marie Kondo put it perfectly: "To threat hunt accurately means to put your enterprise assets in order. It’s like settling your accounts so that you can take the next step forward."

This presentation will focus on building a better understanding of your environment and how to hunt for unknown threats that lie within.

Curiosity Killed the Cat: Legal Implications of Off and On–Duty Vulnerability Exposure

The natural curiosity of infosec professionals is what makes them so good at their jobs. Problem-solving requires creative thinking, creative thinking is fuelled by that curiosity. But what happens when that curiosity results in you getting fired? Sued? Arrested?

I’ll explore the legal implications of vulnerability discovery and disclosure when you’re a curious, off the clock volunteer or an on-duty professional.

Data Access Rights Exploits under New Privacy Laws

New privacy laws such as the GDPR and CCPA have been great advances for personal data rights, although the ability to request access to all the personal information a company has on an individual has created new attack vectors for OSINT. These personal data access requests are usually managed by legal or compliance teams with minimal security review, increasing the potential for phishing, social engineering, and “legal DDoS.” This talk will discuss the personal data access options required in different regions, how most companies respond to data access requests, and the most effective exploits for privacy vulnerabilities. We’ll explore the psychology driving corporate responses to requests and ways these emotions can be exploited, as well as the most likely targets for a weak privacy program.

For the blue teamers, phishing detection and defense strategies will be presented. Rather than ignoring or fighting against the regulations, we’ll look at ways to use these laws to discourage, detect, and disrupt data access attacks. We’ll consider strategies for working with legal teams, getting security involved in the review process, and conducting red team reviews on the data access mechanism. Best practices for identifying data subjects, minimizing the data released, and legally denying abusive requests will be covered. Key sections of the laws you need to know for exploits and defense will be highlighted.

Advanced Persistent Protection

Sadly, APT has become all too common an acronym in our technology dialect. What is an APT really? By military definition it is quantifiable: Advanced in that they use techniques that are defense aware and have a high probability of circumventing detection, Persistent in that the attack survives reboot, quarantine, and even system restoration, and Threat in that there is an active actor pursuing the attack. Advanced Persistent Threats are no longer a nation state or war games concept. Even more alarming is the reality that the most recent targets of this type of cyber-attack are organizations of all sizes and that the public sector is prime target.

Our cyber security strategy has for too long been focused on reactively defending each point of attack and ignoring the bigger picture. Hackers target, attack patiently, attack broadly, attack dynamically, attack repeatedly, and attack strategically. Cyber evolution is a reality, the perimeter is non-existent, IoCs are useless, backups are vulnerable, data and compute have sprawled, signature-based detection is a waste of time, AI can be used against AI, who teaching my machine if it’s learning, Ransomware, Extortionware, Destructionware, and we are under-staffed and have no budget!!!! How will we ever win? Persistent protection for persistent attacks… Let’s discuss.

Deserialization: RCE for the modern web applications

Deserialization is the process of converting a data stream to an object instance. At the end of 2015, the Java community was taken by storm by deserialization vulnerabilities using a weakness from the library Commons-Collection. The event highlighted how many applications used unsafe deserialization. At the time, Jenkins, WebLogic, WebSphere and JBoss used the same vulnerable code pattern. Two years later, researchers turned to the .NET ecosystem and discovered that many serialization libraries were vulnerable to similar attacks. In 2018, vulnerabilities were found notably in SharePoint and PHP-BB. Hundreds of CVEs were recorded for the same year proving that deserialization is still an active threat for modern web applications. Developers and pentesters can't ignore this risk because, in most cases, it leads to remote code execution.

In this talk, a survey of the main attack vector will be presented with their current state. Many exploitation tools have been developed. Several libraries and frameworks were adapted to mitigate the issue. However, there remains a good number of libraries who remain highly susceptible to the vulnerabilities of deserialization.

Zero Trust and the Flaming Sword of Justice

Security breaches pervade the headlines. What was seen as a rare instance just 5 years ago now seems to occupy the daily news cycle. A lot of these data breaches are made possible due to missteps and misconfigurations. There are many security issues that are introduced into website authentication mechanisms that further compound the security issues in addition to enforcing bad behavior by the end users. Security debt is a real problem for the vast majority of organizations in the world today and the attackers will utilize this to their advantage. In addition to keeping system hygiene at front of mind defenders need to focus on proper network zone segmentation or, as it more popular term these days, zero trust networks. The old conceptual style of a castle wall and moat to defend a network was deprecated several years ago. As a result of the dissolution of the traditional perimeter a stronger focus has to be placed on the strength of authentication, authorization and trust models for the users.

The antiquated notion of an information security practitioner running through the office brandishing their flaming sword of justice above their heads screaming “thou shall not pass” has at long last reached the denouement. Whether you are responsible for the security in a financial organization or one that makes teddy bears it is necessary to adapt and learn to trust but, verify.

Context Is King: Creating Security Awareness Content that Matters

Far too often if an organization has a cybersecurity awareness campaign, it’s a check-the-box, compliance driven effort using generic out-of-the-box context talking about the same security highlights that employees have heard countless times. But a truly effective awareness campaign is one that ultimately results in behaviour change at the individual and organizational level. Done well, an effective campaign provides insight into relevant current cybersecurity threats and issues, organization specific policies, plans and approaches for mitigating risk and tangible steps that individuals can take to detect, report and assist in recovering from cyber attacks. During this presentation, Moussa Noun, CASP| Senior Manager Awareness & Education, Global Cyber Security for the Royal Bank of Canada and David Shipley, CISM, CEO and co-founder of Beauceron Security will talk about how to create truly compelling and engaging educational experiences for users and provide practical examples for a number of firms and industries.

Don't Bring Me Down: Weaponized Botnets

Routers and cameras and fridges – oh my! The ongoing deluge of devices that connect to the Internet is an IoT nightmare, and an attacker’s dream. Default credentials and weak passwords are only the beginning. Especially with a bevy of unpatched, vulnerable systems on which to unleash some substantial exploits.

Over the past year we have seen an evolution in botnets from instruments of mass disruption to exploit-enhanced armies used for mining and control. The release of the Mirai code has raised a new army of botnets that are capable of more than just DDOS on basic systems. Attackers have realized the wealth of resources in enterprise environments, locating cryptominers where they can profit most. But once inside those enterprise networks there are other opportunities to be mined for by both criminals and nationstate attackers.

As we move past outages to destructive payloads what should we expect when weaponization meets automation? In this talk, we’ll explore the outcome as threat actors and nation states "level-up" a tactic wielded by script kiddies, the risks to unsuspecting organizations, and what's available for those inclined to "build-a-bot".

Attacks against Lesser Known Nations – Tracking Activity across Central Asia

Central Asia does not often grab headlines worldwide. Despite lacking this widespread recognition, a flurry of activity has been seen happening in Central Asia in 2018 alone. With Chinese APTs, Russian security service involvement and cybercrime all active in the region, the further investment in China’s One Belt One Road (OBOR) Initiative is likely to spur further activity.

Past incidents have ranged from cyber espionage conducted against state entities to domestic surveillance of local opposition groups and financially motivated cybercrime, with a wide array of motives and using a multitude of tools to carry out their operations.

The talk aims to highlight the importance of understanding attacks against countries that are geopolitically important but unknown.

As a region, Central Asia is quite significant to Canada having seen substantial direct investment into multiple sectors, while the countries that make up the region having fallen victim to multiple state-sponsored cyberattacks, cybercrime and digital surveillance. The region holds a great deal of potential and the level of investment reflects this, but as investment comes, so to do the risks.

DNS – The Hidden Threat Vector

The Domain Name System (DNS) is an ubiquitous protocol. People use it every time they type a domain in their browser (whether they know it or not). Most companies however, do not consider the DNS protocol as a potential security risk given it basic functionality of converting a domain name to an IP address. Attackers have started to take advantage of this and Talos has examined several attacks which exploit the NDS protocol to their advantage. During this talk. I will walk through several real world attacks which show how attackers are utilizing the DNS protocol to intentionally avoid detection. These DNS attacks began with multiple versions of the DNSMessenger attack. This attack utilized DNS txt records to actually transfer malware to a targeted system. Recently the DNSpionage attack showed how attackers could use normal DNS requests/replies to replace their traditional command and control communication. In a separate campaign, these same attackers also used DNS redirection attacks which were targeted to domain registrars to attempt to gain man-in-the-middle access to sensitive information by redirecting DNS requests to attacker controlled systems. Understanding these attacks is vital to understanding gaps on your network which may not be currently monitored.
