IBM InterConnect is the premier annual event for security, cloud and mobile. Earlier this year top experts from IBM and other industry-leading organizations presented their latest research and insights at the InterConnect 2016 conference. These sessions contain valuable recommendations for improving your security posture and several of them can now be viewed on-demand at your convenience.

Session Title: Think Like a Hacker – Common Techniques to Exploit Mobile Apps and How to Stop Them
Speakers: David Marshak, Senior Product Manager, IBM Security and Aaron Lint, Vice President of Research, Arxan Technologies
Abstract: The first step in learning how to protect your applications from hackers is to think like one. During this session, you’ll learn just how easy it is for hackers to leverage widely available third-party tools to completely disable and compromise mobile apps. This can lead to unauthorized access to source code, tampering with apps to enable advanced malware attacks, stealing of sensitive data or intellectual property, perpetrating fraud and more. You’ll also hear about the evolution of the mobile threat landscape and view a demonstration of various reverse-engineering and tampering attacks.

Session Title: The Weakest Link – Ethically Hacking the Connected Building
Speaker: Paul Ionescu, Ethical Hacking Team Lead, IBM Security
Abstract: As more and more devices become connected to the Internet, the ones that control your building’s heat, lighting and air conditioning are no exception when it comes to cyber security risk. The IBM X-Force Ethical Hacking team recently conducted a real-world penetration test experiment on a connected building automation system. They found security flaws that allowed them not only to hack into the building automation system, but even to work their way to the central server that controls more than twenty buildings across North America. With control of this server, a hacker could tamper with the physical conditions of all of the buildings this system controls. Learn about the challenges of securing such systems, and how to protect them.

Session Title: Concur Shares Application Security Best Practices for Everyone — Yes, Even You!
Speaker: Sundar Krishnamurthy, Senior Information Security Engineer, Concur
Abstract: Applications are the last line of defense in organizations and within the world of the Internet of Things. A strong, secure network is but a minor hindrance to a hacker who finds an application software mistake that can be abused. This talk will share real-world code examples, from simple buffer overflows to session hijacking and cross-site scripting, that illustrate how we miss many of the avenues that bad guys use to exploit our systems.

Session Title: How Shazam Provides Banking Services to Detect and Prevent Fraud Using IBM Security Access Manager
Speakers: Brian Mulligan, Security Product Manager, IBM Security and Stephan Thomasee, VP Information Technology, SHAZAM Network
Abstract: Shazam, an electronic funds transfer network and service provider to banks, is simplifying web and mobile access infrastructure and reducing fraud with integrated IBM Security solutions. Their solution detects potentially fraudulent activity using IBM Trusteer Fraud Protection. Through integration with IBM Security Access Manager, the presence or absence of fraud can be used as a factor in more intelligent access decisions. High-risk users can be prevented from taking certain actions or prompted for a stronger authentication. All this activity is monitored by fraud analysts using IBM QRadar, to proactively address potential fraud victims. This session will explore Shazam’s business need and implementation experience.
