And in reality we need to focus on the basics because everyone will be hacked somehow. We are all dependent on Network, System and the users that are using these applications. There are integrations everywhere and we need to assume and take the mindset of being attacked. Therefore, we need to make sure to segment, patch and use identity rules.

Hacking Webviews for Fun & Profit		Presentation	There are two interesting vulnerabilities that are mostly not tested by security researchers and bug bounty hunters when they test Android applications. The presentation will focus on how to exploit interesting bugs in Webview. The presentation will share the approach for testing the bug through black-box testing where the security researcher does not require code to verify the vulnerability. The easiest ideas for exploiting the webview bugs will be shared with some bonus hints for future work. (Exploit shall be published after the end of the conference)

We will demonstrate how these groups make sophisticated use of Telegram and other social networks to communicate their messages and innovative tactics.  In addition, we will explore their use of AI to create powerful attack tools that go undetected by standard protections. In the second part of the session, we will focus on why businesses fail to protect against these new tools.  Specifically, how hacktivists have mastered the use of advanced evasion techniques that disguise their attack vectors to bypass standard network and application detection tools. We will also review a new attack vector called Web DDoS Tsunami, understand why it bypasses all prevention tools, and how to mitigate it using AI.
Threat Detection & Response @ DC, Cloud, OT, SaaS with Use Case Engineering		Presentation	The journey of enterprise data requires threat hunting, use cases gameboard, and improving defenses of risk remediation to the enterprise. We will show you how to achieve this with Check Point solutions.
Machine Learning Poisoning: How Attackers Can Manipulate AI Models for Malicious Purposes		Presentation	The use of machine learning and artificial intelligence has been on the rise in various industries, including the field of cybersecurity. These technologies have shown great potential in detecting and mitigating cyber threats, but they also come with their own set of risks. One of the most significant risks is the threat of machine learning poisoning attacks. Machine learning poisoning attacks involve an attacker manipulating the data or the learning algorithm used by an AI model to compromise its accuracy or functionality. This type of attack is particularly dangerous because it can go undetected for a long time, and it can be challenging to trace its origins. A successful poisoning attack can result in the AI model making incorrect decisions, which can lead to a security breach or data loss.
Connecting the Cloud Security Dots by Leveraging CloudGuard Effective Risk Management		Presentation	This session will introduce audiences to CNAPP and share observation from the field whereby acquiring CNAPP as a tool for security compliance and auditing purpose alone may still leave gap to improve security of the cloud. We will discuss how CloudGuard Effective Risk Management and Advanced Security Controls capabilities can aid security leadership and practitioner to take preventive actions to mitigate risk to organization’s services and data on the public cloud.

Be Your Own TAC: Advanced Gateway Troubleshooting Commands		Presentation     View Video	The classic & extremely popular "My Top 3 Check Point CLI commands" CheckMates thread written by Moti Sagey in 2017 is getting a big update for 2024 at CPX!   Join Tim Hall as he takes you on a tour of advanced security gateway troubleshooting commands, many of which are mysterious & undocumented.  These commands are frequently employed in consulting engagements, with some of them featured in the official 2-day "Gateway Performance Optimization" course authored and taught exclusively by Mr. Timothy Hall at Shadow Peak.

There's a big red header which says that some content isn't available and will be added in the coming days. 😀

As Q1 is very busy for us we couldn't spend a week with travels and so on away from projects so we also impatiently wait for the content to be available on Check Mates, webinars and also via our local Partner sessions.

[the_rock]

You are 100% right, its just me being impatient 😀😀

Anyway, I really hope that one becomes available.

Andy

[Timothy_Hall]

The room in Vegas did not have the capability to record my "Be your own TAC" session, and the video will be Dameon Welch giving that session in Vienna.  It was a popular speech and was standing room only.

[the_rock]

Sounds like video I recorded in Tokyo of Japanese people trying to jam the trains lol

Yes, I hear what you are saying, that is unfortunate, because it would be super helpful. I hope one you mentioned from Vienna will be posted.

Best,

Andy

[_Val_]

AFAIK, we recorded that session in BKK, not Vienna. Still, standing room only there.

[the_rock]

Hey Val,

Will it be posted on community? Any idea?

Best,

Andy

[_Val_]

Yes, of course. On top of that, we will invite Tim to talk live more than once a year, on the very same topic.

[the_rock]

Great news! I often refer to his book, its the best.

Andy

[PhoneBoy]

The "Be Your Own TAC" recording I did was via Zoom and I believe other breakouts were done similarly.

[angelito]

Awesome Job Dameon! 

This is a lot of work! Thank you so much!

[the_rock]

Indeed! Glad "Be your own TAC" is available now, super helpful 👍

Andy

[PhoneBoy]

Hopefully my Zoom session did it justice.
The in-person ones were great 🙂

[the_rock]

Yes, super helpful, thank you 🙏

[MGeideck]

great CPX - thanks for the great content!

However, I noticed that Moti's presentation (Positioning the Check Point Platform) is not the right one - it's Avi's..

[_Val_]

@MGeideck Thanks for noticing, it is fixed now.

[Kyaw_Myo_Oo]

I appreciate your sharing this information.
