OWASP Amass by Jeff Foley

Abstract:

Today, organizations deal with the challenge of running their infrastructure across many networks and namespaces due to the use of cloud environments, hosting services, the use of third-parties, and acquisitions. This can make it difficult to maintain visibility of Internet-facing assets and to track down externally exposed systems that pose a risk to security. The OWASP Amass Project has developed a tool to help information security professionals perform network mapping of attack surfaces and external asset discovery. During this talk, the founder of the project will demonstrate how to use OWASP Amass and explain how attack surface management provides defenders with enhanced visibility to better protect organizations.
