Continuous Intrusion: Why CI Tools are an Attacker's Best Friends by Nikhil Mittal
Arbor Spectrum: Epic Range, Faster Proof by Arbor Networks

Continuous Integration (CI) tools provide an excellent attack surface due to the no/poor security controls, distributed build management capability, and level of access/privileges in an enterprise.

In the webcast, we will have a look at the CI tools (both open source and proprietary) from an attacker's perspective and to use them as portals for getting a foothold and lateral movement. We will see how to execute attacks like command and script execution, credentials stealing, privilege escalation to not only compromise the build process but the underlying operating system and even entire Windows domains.
