The talk will cover an introduction to the Trusted Computing including: Trusted Platform Module; a general overview of IntelR TXT; Will discuss use cases of these technologies. It will cover the basics of a Trusted Platform; how IntelR TXT adds value to a Trusted Platform; and how these concepts can be applied to secured storage and secure identification. Use cases in various market segments will be explored

Data encryption in compute clouds: sounds like an an oxymoron? I will demonstrate why there are some very good reasons to do it, and how a combination of system security and novel cryptographic protocols enables practitioners to achieve a high level of security in several cloud environments.

Yaron Sheffer is co-founder and CTO of Porticor, the cloud security company. Previously, Yaron was technology manager in Check Point's VPN Area. Even earlier, Yaron led a virtualization effort at Intel, way before the term "virtualization" (let alone, the Cloud) became popular. Yaron is co-chair of the IETF IPsec standards working group.

Machine virtualization -- running multiple virtual machines on a single physical host -- is a powerful technology that underlies the world's computing clouds and enterprise data-centers. But with great power comes great responsibility: to use virtualization for good, not evil, and to make virtualized systems efficient even in the face of untrusted virtual machines. I will begin my talk by covering the fundamentals of architectural support for machine virtualization. I will then show how malware can use this support to evade detection and, conversely, how hypervisors can contain malware within a virtual machine to observe and study it. I will conclude by showing how hypervisors can provide "bare metal" (non-virtual) performance even to untrusted, possibly malicious virtual machines.

Muli Ben-Yehuda is a systems researcher and an expert in the area of machine and I/O virtualization. He holds a B.A. (cum laude) in Computer Science from the Open University of Israel and is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Computer Science at the Technion -- Israel Institute of Technology. From 2002 until 2012 he held senior research and managerial positions at IBM Research, where he was also an IBM Master Inventor. Muli has co-authored over thirty academic publications and holds over twenty US patents in such areas as machine and I/O virtualization, cloud computing, and operating system and hypervisor design and implementation. His code and ideas are included in many operating systems and hypervisors, including the Linux kernel and the Xen and KVM hypervisors. His work on The Turtles Project: Design and Implementation of Nested Virtualization has won the prestigious OSDI Jay Lepreau Best Paper Award and the IBM Research Pat Goldberg Memorial Best Paper Award. When not rethinking how we build system software for his Ph.D. or spending time with his family, Muli provides selected clients with consulting services through Hypervisor Technologies and Consulting Ltd.

Device manufactures are faced with a daunting challenge: they must balance customer demand for new features like advanced graphics, wireless communications and secure management of information, whilst ensuring device reliability, safety, security and approvals with a swift time to market. In this session we will examine an architecture that leverages software separation to safely manage the increasing complexity of software in today's market.

In the past Ofra worked as a software engineer and a software team leader developing safety critical embedded applications in the Israeli defense industry.
Ms. Bechor Graduated the Hebrew University with a MSc in Applied Science.

Cybercrime has evolved in great strides over the last decade. In this presentation, I will focus on cybercrime against web based applications (particularly online banking) and demonstrate how the security industry and online service vendors engage in a cat-and-mouse game against cyber criminals. Each time cyber-criminals introduced an attack technique, online service provides countered with a defense, and each time such new security measure was introduced, fraudsters figured out a way to bypass it. In many cases, the cybercriminals' tactics demonstrate innovation and resourcefulness, combining technology and social engineering to efficiently accomplish their financial goals. I will show many examples of how security measures are circumvented and will discuss some fundamental issues with some classes of security measures, including those deemed today as "state of the art".

Intelligence is a necessity that every government agency invest in. It is clear that intelligence is needed in order to protect needs and also needed in order to attack. Civilian organizations today are having hard time to protect themselves. They have tools to fight infosec problems but the attackers are using cyber offensive methods with military standards. Cyber intelligence is one of the tools that can fight the attackers before they get into the organization and provide a true active protection.

On August 15th Saudi Arabia's national oil company said an attack had led to its own network being taken offline. Later on, Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta warned that the United States was facing the possibility of a “Cyber-Pearl Harbor” and was increasingly vulnerable to foreign computer hackers who could dismantle the nation’s power grid, transportation system, financial networks and government. What can we learn about those attacks? How are they built? What actions governments and local organization can take to prevent them from happening? McAfee Research Scientist will present the case study and discuss today’s and future solutions.
