IOActive Announces IOAsis Security Talks at Black Hat USA 2017SEATTLE, July 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- IOActive, Inc., the worldwide leader in research-driven security services, has announced the speaker lineup and location of its annual IOAsis Las Vegas event, this year held in partnership with Black Hat USA 2017. "Our Las Vegas IOAsis event presents a tremendous opportunity to share and collaborate with our security industry peers and community," said Jennifer Steffens, CEO of IOActive. "We are excited to offer a fantastic line-up of security talks covering a variety of interesting topics and new research. IOActive subject matter experts will be on hand during our program and throughout the week to discuss security techniques and trends from the hacker's perspective, which is at the heart of our client services." The IOAsis Las Vegas 2017 schedule includes: Wednesday, July 26 10:20 a.m. - 11:10 a.m. Security Talk Each day, the U.S. transportation system moves 55 million tons of freight valued at $49.3 billion. As part of the effort to monitor, maintain, and automate this part of our critical infrastructure, federal mandates require Electronic Logging Devices (ELD) in heavy trucks. The ELD mandate significantly increases the attack surface of these insecure heavy vehicles. This talk shares vulnerability assessment research we conducted against five different ELDs that were available over the counter at big box distributors. What we found could allow an attacker to pivot through the device and into the vehicle where the consequences could be disastrous. 11:30 a.m. - 12:20 p.m. Security Talk Attackers continue to target critical infrastructure with the intent of disrupting operations and causing physical damage. However, even as ICS attack increase, many engineers still dismiss ICS threats because critical infrastructure systems rely on engineered layers of protection. Unfortunately, these protections are designed with an engineering mindset, not a cybersecurity mindset, leaving the systems vulnerable to cyberattack. Bryan Singer will present an emerging model that demonstrates how engineering and cybersecurity attacks can successfully manipulate, compromise, and damage infrastructure. Practical advice and actionable steps to address ICS vulnerabilities, detect intrusions early, and create more resilient systems will also be provided. 1:50 p.m. - 2:40 p.m. Security Talk See discreet examples of recent research and learn more about IOActive's lab facilities. ATM Security: Challenge Accepted Breaking a Popular Motorized Scooter 3:00 p.m. - 3:50 p.m. Security Talk Our recent Shodan scan found 100,000 hard drives available for the taking. We found warez, passports (yes!), highly confidential documentation, server disks with web applications, company backups, and financial records. What is this magic? It's iSCSI, SCSI emulation over the internet. Like the world isn't already a bad place. 6:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. Thursday, July 27th IOAsis is located inside Black Hat (Mandalay Bay, 3950 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89119 in Palm B Room, 3rd Level).
