At the recent Owasp meetup at the Ashby Building in Belfast we were treated to two great talks
The first was “Introduction to Secure Design” by Gary Robinson – OWASP Chapter Leader (Belfast)
“When it comes to high risk applications, secure design considerations can be included before a line of code is written. This talk will give a brief introduction to the concept of Secure Design, where it fits into the SDLC, and some of the covering principals that the industry relies upon.”
A really good talk – covering aspects that don’t always get the coverage they require – especially the Threat Analysis.
Followed by pizza and a second talk …
“From SIEM to Threat Intelligence Platforms”
by Hugh Njemanze – CEO and Founder of Anomali
https://www.anomali.com/company/leadership/hugh-njemanze
“A brief overview of the evolution of SIEM, the emergence of Threat Intelligence feeds, and the arrival of Threat Intelligence Platforms that integrate the two with the goal of increasing the effectiveness of Cyber Security Operations.”
This was an interest coverage of the Anomoli platform and the difficulties of providing the appropriate threat feeds to SIEM and other security analysis tools due to the sheer volume of threats and actors being identified.
Once again a great evening where the time flew by with plenty of things to take away from the evnt.
