SUMMARY:Identity Under Siege: The Rise of Machine Accounts & Everyday Cyber Risks
DESCRIPTION:As businesses continue to adopt cloud technologies\, IoT devices\, and automation\, the number of machine identities is skyrocketing. While organisations invest heavily in protecting human identities\, machine identities often remain unmanaged\, creating a massive\, invisible attack surface for cybercriminals to exploit. \nKeynote Talk: “Rise of the Machines”\nChris Owen\, Managing Director of dotnext Europe LTD\, will deliver a fascinating keynote exploring the rise of machine identities in modern IT environments. With a staggering 42–92 machine identities for every human account\, these digital identities can be weaponised by attackers if left unsecured. \n\nDiscover the real-world risks posed by machine identities.\nLearn how seemingly harmless\, everyday actions—like pushing code to GitHub—can expose critical credentials.\nGain practical insights into protecting your organisation from machine identity threats.\n\nLive Hacking Demo: The Invisible Threat\nExperience a live\, step-by-step demonstration of an identity-based attack in action. Chris will showcase how attackers use publicly available tools to exploit mismanaged machine identities. \n\nSee how AWS keys can be discovered in less than 90 seconds.\nWatch the attacker gain unauthorised access to cloud resources.\nLearn about simple\, effective countermeasures to mitigate these risks.\n\nSpecial Guest Speaker:\nJosh Levett is a PhD student in the Cyber Security and Privacy Research Group at the University of York. His research focuses on Internet architecture\, Internet governance\, and internetwork routing protocols. Josh is also part of the SYSTRON Lab\, an experimental laboratory in the department looking at system and network interoperability\, especially in areas such as IoT and thread devices. \nInteractive Q&A and Networking\nFollowing the talks and demo\, we’ll open the floor for an interactive Q&A session – your chance to ask the experts about identity-based attacks\, best practices\, and strategies for securing digital assets. \nAfterward\, enjoy informal networking over refreshments\, meet industry professionals\, and connect with fellow attendees from organisations across Yorkshire.

SUMMARY:YCSC | CI/CD Pipeline Attacks: Virtual Masterclass
DESCRIPTION:CI/CD Pipeline Attacks: Virtual Masterclass\nWed\, 15 May 2024 12:00 – 13:00 BST\n\n\nThis session welcomes learners with an understanding of the fundamentals or advanced technical proficiency. \nJoin us virtually for a Yorkshire Cyber Security Cluster Masterclass on CI/CD pipeline attacks – how attackers exploit simple oversights to attack supply chains\, delivered by Simon Gurney\, CTO of Punk Security. \nCI/CD servers\, and the overall software development lifecycle\, are becoming prime targets for attacks because hackers recognise that they contain the crown jewels for software companies\, but also provide an opportunity to perform supply chain attacks and breach the perimeters of potentially millions of companies from just one vendor breach. In this talk\, we will explain some of the key security concepts you should be aware of when using and configuring CI/CD pipelines and some of the clever things attackers get up to. After this talk\, you’ll be fully prepared to recognise and avoid these vulnerabilities. \nSimon is the CTO of Punk Security\, an innovative security consultancy championing cloud and application security. With 17 years of IT experience\, in a career spanning most technical fields\, Simon found his niche with DevSecOps and the value that a broad skill-set can bring to an organisation. When Simon isn’t busy with Punk Security he’s committed to his young family\, and developing the next generation of talent as a frequent speaker and OWASP Chapter lead. \n

SUMMARY:Yorkshire Cyber Security Cluster | Hack to Basics: Rebuilding After a Cyber Breach
DESCRIPTION:Hack to Basics: Rebuilding After a Cyber Breach\nTuesday\, April 16 · 9:30am – 2pm GMT+1\n24 Mount Preston Street Woodhouse LS2 9ND\nRealising that emails are being sent on your behalf\, your password has been reset\, and you’ve received a ransomware message\, what would you do? \nAccording to the latest Cyber Security Breach Survey\, 73% of businesses overall do not have a cyber incident response plan\, leaving them vulnerable to greater downtime and loss in the case of an incident. \nThis event is designed for people working within organisations who want to be prepared\, as well as those with an interest in learning more about incident response. Attendees should expect to develop a clearer understanding of how to respond during that stomach dropping moment of an incident\, to minimise loss and get back to business as usual. This event is designed to be practical\, but not technical\, so no prior knowledge of incident response is required.

SUMMARY:YCSC | Protecting Your Identity: Is MFA Enough?
DESCRIPTION:Protecting Your Identity: Is MFA Enough?\nTuesday 6th February\, 06:00 pm – 09:00 pm GMT\n\n\nTraditional security practices based on protecting the perimeter are no longer enough to secure today’s distributed and cloud-based applications.

We will also share strategies for improving account takeover detection and prevention. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how to better protect your organisation from the financial\, legal\, and reputational consequences of a security breach. \nThose who attend this briefing will be able to request a custom Identity Assessment from Recorded Future\, to understand the current risk profile to your organisation relating to credentials and initial access threats. \nDon’t miss this opportunity to boost your defences: \n✅Stay Ahead: Discover the latest in cyber threat tactics. \n✅MFA Weaknesses: Learn where MFA fails and how to reinforce it. \n✅Identity Assessment: Post-talk\, sign up for your tailored risk analysis. \nVenue: \nLost & Found Leeds Club\, 3 Albion Place\, Leeds\, LS1 6JL.

DESCRIPTION:Secure Against What? A Threat Modelling Masterclass\nWed. 15 November 2023 | 13:30 – 15:00 BST \nOnline \nEvent Details\nDuring this masterclass Yorkshire Cyber Security Cluster will be joined by Richard King\, Business Analyst at BJSS. \nRichard has never had much respect for warranties. As a child\, his parents banned him from going within arm’s length of any new household electronics\, in case he tried to take them apart to find out how they worked.
