SCADA And Mobile Security In The Internet Of Things Era

From the report, “Two years ago, the authors assessed 20 mobile applications that worked with ICS software and hardware. At that time, mobile technologies were widespread, but IoT mania was only beginning. In that paper, the authors stated, “convenience often wins over security. Nowadays, you can monitor (or even control!) your ICS from a brand-new Android [device].” Today, the idea of putting logging, monitoring, and even supervisory/control functions in the cloud is not so farfetched. The purpose of this paper is to discuss how the landscape has evolved over the past two years and assess the security posture of SCADA systems and mobile applications in this new IoT era.”

Commonalities in Vehicle Vulnerabilities

This paper is a follow-up to IOActive’s 2016 report1 on vehicle vulnerabilities. The goal of this paper is to revisit the topic using data from the past two years (2016, 2017) and to compare this information to previous findings to analyze how the industry is progressing.

Are You Trading Stocks Securely?

This paper demonstrates vulnerabilities that affect numerous traders. Among them are unencrypted authentication, communications, passwords, and trading data; remote DoS that leaves applications useless; trading programming languages that allow DLL imports; insecurely implemented chatbots; weak password policies; hardcoded secrets; and poor session management. In addition, many applications lack countermeasures, such as SSL certificate validation and root detection in mobile apps, privacy mode to mask sensitive values, and anti-exploitation and antireversing mitigations.

Hacking Robots Before Skynet

From the Report, “This paper is based on our own research, in which we discovered critical cybersecurity issues in several robots from multiple vendors. While we assist the vendors in addressing the cybersecurity vulnerabilities identified, we want to describe the currently available technology, some of the threats posed by a compromised robot, and the types of cybersecurity issues we discovered. The goal is to make robots more secure and prevent vulnerabilities from being used maliciously by attackers to cause serious harm to businesses, consumers, and their surroundings.”
