India’s Budding Cyber Policies

MassMediaLink India LLP SecurityLink IndiaJuly 11, 2017November 14, 202405 mins

India is at a nascent stage in deploying cyber intelligence related policies, and measures to curb targeted attacks While India is ushering in a new era in the digital segment, with an aggressive promotion of cashless payments, digitized documents, M-wallets, smart cities etc., the country may still be significantly lacking in cyber security policies and techniques to tackle any major targeted attack. The recent attacks of WannaCry Ransomware are just one of the many that is a clear indication of how vulnerable the globe is when it comes to cyber intrusions. “While India is spearheading the growth in the digital segment across the globe, an absence of strong policies and a clear vision to curb the forthcoming attacks may prove to be a ticking time bomb,” says Marc Kahlberg, CEO and MD, Vital Intelligence Group. The situation could become alarming if central and state governments deploy technologies and encourage many of their mission critical departments to go online with no significant cyber security measures in place. Regulating cyberspace would prove to be a knee jerk reaction in tackling cybercrimes and terrorism, making it further difficult for intelligence agencies to maintain a constant vigil across the depths of cyber space and take proactive action where required. “’By regulating cyber space, freedoms of speech will cease to exist, available information will become less and much harder to obtain, and quite possibly, the advancements of certain technology would be either forced underground or would slowly disappear. There are also elements of information that can be attained by allowing the social media platforms to operate, and hence give law enforcement and intelligence agencies actionable intelligence as to what is really happening and in real time. This, however, would require investment, training and indeed acceptance of the fact that the best form of defense in this sphere is a proactive investigative approach,” added Kahlberg. The Vital Intelligence Group platform of technologies incorporates a host of different cyber intelligence solutions including a possible world first FUSION-KEY intelligence software that collects, fuses, manages and supports intelligence mission-enabling command, control, communications, surveillance, intelligence collection and location capabilities, all via advanced engineering and processes of the highest levels. The Vital Intelligence Group is focused on empowering their clients with vital intelligence. They assist in making significantly better cyber risk and security related decisions by providing the most insightful, actionable cyber intelligence available. Vital Intelligence Group is the leading global provider of cyber Intelligence solutions, headquartered in Israel. “While the country has witnessed an exponential growth in digitization in recent years, a major lag in the formulation of new age cyber intelligence and security policies, as well as an adoption of pro-active self-defensive capabilities may be proving to be a ticking time bomb for the country.” – Marc Kahlberg, CEO and MD, Vital Intelligence Group

How to know Access Control in The Cloud is Secure?

MassMediaLink India LLP SecurityLink IndiaJuly 11, 2017November 14, 2024011 mins

Access Control as a Service (ACaaS) has grown into a mainstream product offering from many access control manufacturers, and it is gaining significant growth in the market. With the adoption of this technology, end users and integrators need to ask several pertinent questions. It is extremely important to understand the security of the communications, the quality of service, who the provider of the cloud service is, the redundancy of the servers, disaster recovery, scalability of the platform, and finally the stability and availability of the service. With this information end users and system integrators can make a sound decision on which product to select and if the provider can be trusted to deliver the critical action of physically opening and closing doors successfully. At ISONAS we take each of these issues very seriously and have worked tirelessly to provide the most transparent service to a customer while leading the industry in security and scalability. When selecting an Access Control as a Service provider, we recommend looking for the following best practices to ensure clarity in the decision making process. 1. Overall structure Where is the platform hosted? Amazon Web Services has created a business solely around hosting services. ISONAS Pure Access Cloud is hosted on a complex structure within Amazon Web Services. We chose AWS because of their best in class cyber security infrastructure and their extensive global flexibility in hosting and deployment of Pure Access. 2. Perimeter security Does the platform have perimeter security? Typical first line of defense is through the firewall that can deny or allow traffic. Networks should be surrounded by firewalls and reverse proxy units, which protect the systems within. Intrusion detection and prevention measures should be set up to alert and mitigate potential risks before they can get into the network. All perimeter security logs should be reviewed daily as well as alerting on key terms for a rapid response to threats. At ISONAS, we measure and monitor 430 individual metrics 24/7 with real time alerting to our technical team and we use an industry leading service to provide this comprehensive level of IT infrastructure. 3. Internal security How the cloud provider manages their internal systems is a good reflection on how they manage additional systems and will prevent another avenue for an attack. Systems should be under a network access control layer as well as local firewalls limiting only the required ports for operation to be active, and only responsive to specified networks. As a second layer of protection, host intrusion detection and prevention act as a threat reduction as well as Antivirus and Malware mitigation. Internal team access to systems should be group based and only granted on an as needed basis via a secure password manager portal where access can be granted and revoked at any time. 4. Encryption One of the most basic pieces of security is ensuring the web application has an SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). An SSL establishes an encrypted link between a web server and a browser. This link ensures that all data passed between the web server and browsers remain private. Pure Access Cloud utilizes SSL encryption governed by the reverse proxy. Even the passwords used by the web servers to access the database are encrypted to mitigate against data leakage. Automated file watchers keep a close eye on configuration details in the servers to ensure no access is granted without administration approval. All information on ISONAS hardware is encrypted using AES-256 bit algorithms. Communication between Pure Access Cloud and each connected access point can also be AES 256 bit encrypted. 5. Data protection The worst time to find out backups didn’t work is when you need them the most so employing backups and snap shots of the database is vital. This will ensure that data cannot be lost due to failure or even accidental deletion. All recovery methods should also be tested on a regular basis to ensure that restore and recovery is fast and accurate if required. 6. Testing All products should undergo thorough and rigorous automated and manual testing to ensure that the product that is placed in front of customers is stable without issue. ISONAS utilizes 3rd party penetration testing on a regular basis to subject our systems and configurations to the highest level of cyber security standards. 7. Monitoring All systems should be monitored heavily. A good practice here at ISONAS is that each server has up to 30 points monitored from services to configuration files to up/ down time. Ports are monitored as well as web services. Our services are monitored by Selenium style scripts that not only see if the web services are up but actually log in and click links and log out measuring the performance of the services. These checks are done every 5 minutes from locations in the US and internationally as well as internal network monitors. 8. Redundancy and load balancing As systems scale and grow, there is risk that traffic to the platform could create performance issues, therefore the ability to load balance information is critical to preventing an overload. Systems should be redundantly load balanced using affinity in the virtual IP configuration to ensure a seamless customer experience. In addition, applications should be stateless and share cache information so if a system stops responding the customer will not be affected and it can be repaired without downtime being a factor. 9. Support philosophy Is there a support program and team in place to assist if there are issues? Here at ISONAS we don’t believe in traditional tech departments where there are separate network, server, security, cloud and support teams. We fundamentally believe that a rapidly scaling business and application needs a team that can manage all systems, anytime and anywhere. Our team is empowered and trained to handle all facets of the support process from the customer to SaaS application. At ISONAS, security is taken seriously. The patented Pure IP hardware products from ISONAS offer a technologically advanced solution that eliminates the…

Change Approach to Vulnerability Management

MassMediaLink India LLP SecurityLink IndiaJuly 11, 2017November 14, 202407 mins

Skybox™ Security has announced the availability of threat-centric vulnerability management (TCVM) for the Skybox™ Security Suite, signalling a fundamental shift in the approach to managing and prioritizing vulnerabilities. TCVM changes vulnerability management from an exercise of trying to patch ‘everything all the time’ to focused, intelligent action that considers real-world threats. TCVM does this by correlating multiple factors to determine vulnerability risk, including: The context of an organization’s environment such as potential attack paths and security controls in place, each asset’s exposure and importance to the business, and details of existing vulnerabilities. Intelligence on vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild. With the prioritization center in Skybox™ vulnerability control, security leaders can automatically analyze the thousands, even millions of vulnerabilities in their environment (including cloud and virtual) to pinpoint those that are truly putting their organization at risk. This means narrowing a huge volume of ‘known’ vulnerabilities that are potential threats down to a small, manageable number. They are identified as imminent threats known to be exploited in the wild. In addition, TCVM enables a systematic approach for ongoing, gradual risk reduction of potential threats that could escalate in the future. Skybox TCVM leverages ongoing intelligence of the active threat landscape produced by the Skybox™ research lab. The lab aggregates information from more than 30 security data feeds along with research of exploits available on more than 700,000 dark web sites and validated by Skybox’s security analysts. For example, Skybox analysts have been closely monitoring three major event categories impacting organizations today – the use of a specific, commercialized set of exploit kits, the rise of targeted client-side vulnerabilities, and the continued popularity of Internet of Things (IoT) botnets. A small, targeted number of exploit kits are dominating the dark web. In the first part of this year, five major exploits kits dominated chatter on the dark web, targeting nearly 70 vulnerabilities in Firefox, Adobe Flash, Microsoft Internet Explorer and Edge, Java, Microsoft XML Services and more. These vulnerabilities are known to distribute different malware as payload – for example, popular ransom ware and banking trojans. Threat actors continue to target specific vulnerabilities included in exploit dumps by hacker groups such as The Shadow Brokers. The group, notorious for allegedly leaking the National Security Agency (NSA)’s hacking tools, continues to pepper the dark web with exploit dumps like the major one on April 14 that contained many OS and server-side exploits. These dumps and targeted vulnerabilities impact web apps built with Apache Struts plus VMware, Cisco, Oracle and Microsoft products, to name just a few. Poor IoT security is still vulnerable. Botnets are exploiting vulnerabilities in network devices, gateways, cameras and other internet-connected devices, delivering distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks through things like the ‘HTTP Port 81 Botnet’ and the Amnesia botnet which is the next generation of Mirai malware after source code was published and shared online. “Security leaders understand that the threat landscape is always changing. The difference now is that we’re seeing the growth of an increasingly commercialized cybercrime market. This is making it easier than ever for threat actors to attack, adjust and attack again until they accomplish their objective,” said Skybox CEO, Gidi Cohen, “They tend to aim for the easy targets – and the biggest ROI – by exploiting a surprisingly small number of vulnerabilities, many of which current vulnerability management approaches don’t consider as priorities. This has to change. Security leaders have to be smarter and way more targeted in their approach – aligning it to what’s happening in the real world – if they are to stay ahead of cybercriminals.” Skybox TCVM makes focused action possible by combining attack surface visibility, threat-centric vulnerability intelligence, and attack vector analytics to identify and prioritize an organization’s biggest risks according to vulnerabilities known to: Exist and are exposed in the network. Be actively exploited in the wild; or known to be attacked within a specific industry or geography. Have an exploit available, but are not known to be part of an active exploit campaign. Exist but are not exposed in the network. Threat-centric approaches to vulnerability management require the use of multiple technologies using several different types of security analytics.
