Compliance: The Enterprise Vulnerability Roadmap

Presented at DEF CON 16 (2008), Aug. 8, 2008, 10 a.m. (50 minutes).

Compliance is no longer new. Compliance has been accepted by the corporate-state. Compliance is common-place. Compliance is the intruders' new friend. Decision makers thinks Compliance == Security. While many compliance standards have resulted in the implementation of some very important controls, they have also left a roadmap for intruders, ill doers and the sort to hone their attack. This presentation will go over such weaknesses and show how compliance entities are, regardless of intent, proving that compliance != security.
