Dragons Can Fly
Joe Cicero
Abstract:
Mythical Medieval times used many protections I’m sure you’ve heard of; like moats, turrets and towers. They also had some you might not be familiar with like machicolations and the barbican. All of these were meant to keep out attackers on foot and horseback. But Dragons can Fly.
In this talk, Joe Cicero will look at attacks on some typical security layers and show how malicious actors are able to circumvent standard security configurations and security best practices. Did you know that malicious actors can rent a domain for as little as $100.00 and the traffic won’t be decrypted by SSL inspection because web filtering is categorizing the domain as healthcare? You can compromise some of the security layers all of the time, and all of the security layers some of the time, when you compromise all of the security layers at the same time you have a breach.
