Veteran cybersecurity journalist and author Joseph Menn, now at the Washington Post, talks about his books and the best reporting on hacking and defense today. Since he began writing on the subject in 1999, Menn has broken some of the biggest stories in the industry and written two of most widely read books in the Cybersecurity Canon.

There was a time when the perceived wisdom was to buy best of breed security technologies and that would do for your security program. Trouble of is, none of it integrates with each other or your wider IT. With budgets getting tighter, security pros are being asked to look again at big portfolio security providers and work out whether they can use their offerings to slim down. In this session I'll discuss what I'm hearing from our customers, and some of the things we are starting to see people do to balance the need to optimize cost and efficiency without compromising security protection. Speed, Velocity, and Acceleration. The physics of motion are well documented, and we understand how these scalar and vector quantities differ. In information security and cyber risk management the dynamics are not as well understood which has confused our ability to distinguish between motion and progress. This confusion intensifies our escalating risk cycle by causing a mirage of control that continues to lead us to down a path of compromise and catastrophe, adding to our growing labor and skill deficit. This segment is meant to explore the existing physics and gravitational forces of how we have approached cyber risk management to date, discuss where we are stuck today as well as ideas for a path forward - a reorientation of security operations function so that it is optimized to handle the volume as well as reposition it from an anchor point of continual reaction to one where it can take proactive action in front of the cycle of risk. The heart of these changes is a redefinition of the risk equation we have been using for decades Risk = F (Threat, Vulnerability, Consequence) which while useful initially has created a spray and pray model across most of our organizations. I will explain how to redefine the equation to be Risk = F (Threat, Exploitability, Consequence).

Both GraphQL and template engines have the potential for injection attacks, from potentially exposing data due to weak authorization in APIs to the slew of OGNL-related vulns in Java this past year. We take a look at both of these technologies in order to understand the similarities in what could go wrong, while also examining the differences in how each one influences modern application architectures.
