Driver Risk Scores: Threat Detection System for Vulnerable Device Drivers

Learn about the Driver Risk Scores (DRS) threat detection system in this conference talk from BSidesCharm 2024. Explore how to assess and quantify the security risks posed by device drivers through a comprehensive scoring system based on seven critical characteristics. Discover how this scoring methodology, comparable to CVE scoring, combines security features and real-world data to generate actionable insights for system administrators and security teams. Drawing from research at loldrivers.io, understand the varying levels of driver vulnerabilities and learn to make informed decisions about driver deployment in your environment. Presented by Dana Behling, a cybersecurity researcher at Carbon Black, who brings both technical expertise in digital security and a creative approach influenced by her passion for science fiction and fantasy literature.
