“As offensive security consultants, we see on a daily basis many of the same trends and mistakes. Our talk is going to address common High Impact Vulnerabilities that we continue to see on many networks.
We will help people new to defense by highlighting a number of misconfigurations and common vulnerabilities along with mitigation techniques by getting back security 101 and the basics
Despite what some of the big companies might want you to think, you have most of the tools that you need in order to build your network into a “more secure” network. Between event log monitoring, changing default passwords and reading some “Best known practices” for the vendors whose software you are using, you too can help secure your network. Despite what the rockstars might make you think, no one knows your network better than you do. We hope to encourage you to believe that and take control of your network.
We’ll also address the common arguments that might act as roadblocks when trying to remove or mitigate legacy systems. We will lay out easy ways to set up a cheap and easy alerting system that will help you be more aware when things go “wonky” on your network.”
