WiCyS Minnesota | CypherCon: “Salesforce Snafus: Unveiling and Exploiting Security Misconfigurations Using Commonly Used Widgets”
2025-04-03 - 2025-04-04 | Baird “Wisconsin” Center, 400 W Wisconsin Ave, Milwaukee, WI, 53203, United States
Join WiCyS Minnesota’s Jessa Gegax as she presents at CypherCon on Salesforce Snafus: Unveiling and Exploiting Security Misconfigurations Using Commonly Used Widgets.
This talk explores how to leverage the nooks and crannies of Salesforce to find and abuse misconfigurations that chain together and create serious vulnerabilities that leak sensitive data to adversaries. It highlights that security concerns still exist on applications built on a well-known CRM tool with declarative or “point-and-click” development, where to discover them, and how they can be remediated. It provides a real-world scenario of using various Salesforce widgets to find security vulnerabilities like Insecure Direct Object References (IDORs) and Broken Authorization as a means of stealing sensitive client information. It offers solutions for detection and prevention for these elevated attacks that relate to common security best practices. At the end of this discussion, you will walk away with better awareness of the vulnerabilities existing in Salesforce, how they can be discovered, remediated, then prevented. You may even learn a new trick or two on how to think like a hacker when building your company’s next communication tool!

Wisconsin’s Largest Technology Conference, a Cybersecurity Summit & Hacker event! All are welcome! We are anticipating selling out with over 2000 attendees! Meet with new and old local friends. The event offers 90 +/- presentations covering five tracks on topics such as Technology, AI, Risk, Careers, Cybersecurity Offensive (Red Team), Cybersecurity Defensive (Blue Team), Executive / CIO / CISO talks, or just come relax in our casual environment!

Atlas of AI: Power, Politics, and the Planetary Costs of Artificial Intelligence
by Kate Crawford
What happens when artificial intelligence saturates political life and depletes the planet? How is AI shaping our understanding of ourselves and our societies? Drawing on more than a decade of research, award‑winning scholar Kate Crawford reveals how AI is a technology of extraction: from the minerals drawn from the earth to the labor pulled from low-wage information workers to the data taken from every action and expression.
Crawford reveals how this planetary network is fueling a shift toward undemocratic governance and increased inequity. Rather than taking a narrow focus on code and algorithms, Crawford offers us a material and political perspective on what it takes to make AI and how it centralizes power. This is an urgent account of what is at stake as technology companies use artificial intelligence to reshape the world.

Webinar | The Customers of Security: Working Backwards and Speaking Their Language
2025-05-01 13:00 - 14:00 UTC | BrightTALK
Digital transformation sprouted new relationships between the security teams and the stakeholders, or the customers, of security. In the new Decentralized Security model, Security departments must transition from the “Department of No” to an enabler for teams seeking innovation. Application architects and developers have become the focal point of the transformation journey as the security champions for their workloads. Security teams need to work backwards from their customers while speaking the language of both executives and the developers—communicating not just through the published standards and remediation guides, but through the risk-based Security Maturity Models aligned to the business outcomes. An upcoming webinar hosted by AWS, a WiCyS Strategic Partner, will delve into this crucial transition.
