VoIP Forensics with Dr. Vasilis Katos, CHFI, Associate Professor and Director of the Information Security and Incident Response Research Unit, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Democritus University of Thrace ISACA Academic Advocate Abstract: VoIP services are becoming very popular and are adopted by many organisations and individuals. In this presentation, we will examine common security threats against VoIP infrastructures and the relevant forensic artefacts that can be obtained during an investigation in order to identify the threat sources. We will show how analysis can be performed over a popular Voice over IP (VoIP) protocol and propose a framework for capturing and analyzing volatile VoIP data in order to determine forensic readiness requirements for effectively identifying an attacker. We will establish that if forensic readiness processes and controls are in place, a wealth of evidence can be obtained, such as the private IP addresses of the attacker even during the presence of NAT services, as well as the type of end user equipment of the legitimate users and the attack tools employed by the malicious parties.

Advanced Persistent Threat vs Defenders: Why we keep losing this game With Nikolaos Virvilis, CISA, CISSP, GPEN, Information Assurance Scientist, NATO Communications & Information Agency Abstract: As both the number and the complexity of cyber attacks continuously increase, it is becoming evident that current security mechanisms have limited success in detecting sophisticated threats. Stuxnet, Duqu, Flame, Red October and more recently Miniduke, have troubled the security community due to their severe complexity and their ability to evade detection in some cases for several years, while exfiltrating gigabytes of data or sabotaging critical infrastructures. The significant technical and financial resources needed for orchestrating such complex attacks are a clear indication that perpetrators are well organized and, likely, working under a state umbrella. In order to address such complex threats, we have to redesign our defenses from the ground, focusing on defense in depth and big data analytics BIO: Nikos Virvilis MSc, CISSP, CISA, GPEN, holds the position of Information Assurance Scientist at the Cyber Defense and Assured Information Sharing Division of NATO Communications and Information Agency in Netherlands.

To recognize the complex and diverse role that risk plays, it is essential to develop a clear understanding of the risk universe, appetite and culture within your enterprise. It is also important to be able to identify and classify different types of risk, and choose an applicable analysis method for your enterprise. Leading the drive to help organizations mitigate risks, ISACA has developed several guidance (especially COBIT 5 for Risk) to help an organization manage their IT related risk. This half day, instructorled workshop will provide the essential building blocks to develop a risk management plan. It describes the principles of IT risk management, the responsibilities and accountability for IT risk, how to build up awareness, and how to communicate risk scenarios, After completing this session, you will be able to: Describe the principles and methodology of IT risk management Discuss aspects of risk culture and how they affect risk management Understand risk appetite, risk tolerance and target risk concepts Describe and understand IT related risk using risk scenarios analysis, know how risk scenarios can be constructed Determine what data to collect and where to collect it to monitor and respond to risk Discuss several methods to describe impact and magnitude of IT events in business related terms Describe risk responses suitable for different risk scenarios Develop risk response plans
2 nd Session WS2 Digital Forensics and Incident Response Facilitator: DrVasilisKatos, CHFI Associate Professor and Director of the Information Security and Incident Response Research Unit at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Democritus University of Thrace. Democritus University of Thrace, ISACA Academic Advocate Abstract: When most modern information systems eventually fail, it is not a matter of "pulling the plug" or rebooting the system; recovery may involve litigation which in turn requires the collection, preservation and analysis of digital evidence in order to allow the identification of the cause of the failure. Digital forensics and incident response is about handling information security failures and cybercrime related incidents in general, in a way that the collected evidence are admissible that is, they are accepted as evidence in a court of law. The workshop is about the processes, methodologies and tools used during an incident response and conducting a forensic investigation. After completing this session, you will be able to: Appreciate the challenges first responders and forensic analysts may face during a security incident Understand the different phases of a forensic investigation Acknowledge the wealth and variety of the many forms of cybercrime Obtain knowledge on a selection of tools used in incident response and forensic analysis Understand the need of forensic readiness for an organization Information This workshop grants 8 CPEs and 2 PDUs. This is a training, highly interactive workshop, therefore participation is limited. Participants will be accepted on a first come first served basis. To secure your place, please register on time.
