OpenDaylight: Past, Present and Future of Open Source Networking
David Meyer
OpenDaylight
Chair of the OpenDaylight Technical Steering Committee

Hiroshi Esaki
Professor
University of Tokyo

Youki Kadobayashi
Assosiate Professor
NARA Institute of Science and Technology

SummarySummary

SDN has been taking more and more interests in the market since its introduction and vendors have been marketing its own SDN solutions in each different approach. Since SDN is said to be the most disruptive technologies, the barriers to adoption are numerous, and key among these is interoperability. Single vendor solutions may solve certain problems, but not all of them especially when SDN touches wider areas of the network, resulting in more expectations for open systems and open source networking. In this session, David Meyer, the Chair of the OpenDaylight Technical Steering Committee, and Professor Hiroshi Esaki, University of Tokyo, discuss the definition and role of OpenDaylight and other open source technologies in the market while looking at the open networking history and future, and identify what common APIs or platforms are required to accelerate adoption of SDN and NFV.

The Goldilocks Zone : Using the virtualization to Bridge the Application/Network Divide
Martin Casado
VMware, Inc.
CTO-Networking

SummarySummary

The network, while providing a core resource needed by applications, has always been hampered by lack of visibility into those applications. The implications of this are significant. Take security for example. Infrastructure-level controls simply don’t have sufficient context about traffic to allow meaningful declarations of policy, instead relying on addresses and ports which are near useless approximations of users, hosts, and applications. In this talk, I will discuss how the hypervisor is in a unique position to bridge the divide between the application and the network. I will cover classic issues in performance, security, and operations and management and show how the hypervisor’s proximity to the application can help address these issues in a way that is unattainable by traditional networking.

Help Me Obi Wan ? You’re My only Hope: Four Cyber Security Innovations to Give You Courage
Rick Howard

Chief Security Officer (CSO)

SummarySummary

With all of the negative press about how weak the collective good-guy cyber defenses are, there is reason to hope. Today I discuss four cyber security innovations that not only work but will fundamentally change how we will all do our jobs in the future. Some of our community are leaning forward with these ideas and showing us the way. They are teaching us how to transform our tactical Incident Response teams into strategic intelligence organizations. They are changing our old-school thinking of deploying tactical signature defenses into the more modern Kill-Chain and Indicators-of-Compromise methodology. They are changing how we do perimeter defense. And, they are breaking new ground on how to share threat indicator information between peers.

Cyber Attack Situational Awareness
Bryan Sartin
Verizon Enterprise Solutions
RISK Team
Director

SummarySummary

Despite what many believe, data breaches seldom occur in isolation. Individual cyber attacks tend to be components of broader coordinated campaigns, often with 10s or 100s of victims. The linkages across attacks by adversary, IPs, TTPs, victims, and communication patterns can be highly visible to the global network provider. Understanding them can drive better incident detection and keep you out of the headlines as the next victim. This presentation will offer transparency into this topic from the viewpoints of the network provider and crime scene investigator. Attendees will get a glimpse into carrier-grade situational awareness of cyber attacks in motion and critical asset landscape information gathered by many of the world's most cyber capable law enforcement agencies and governments. Verizon's 2014 Data Breach Investigations Report will serve as a backdrop, offering hard metrics and statistics assembled by the VERIS Community, one of the best examples of public-private partnership in information sharing, specific to cyber.
