Industry Overview: Big Data Fuels Intelligence-Driven SecurityEMC
This industry overview describes how Big Data will be a driver for change across the security industry, reshaping security approaches, solutions, and spending. It presents six guidelines to help organizations plan for the Big Data-driven transformation of their security toolsets and operations as part of an intelligence-driven security program.
Establishing an insider threat programme: Know your Snowden - Puneet Kukreja,...Puneet Kukreja
Insider threat seems to be one of the biggest risks for organisations looking to protect their data assets. Enterprises spend large proportion of their budget to secure and protect their most critical assets from exfiltration and leakage. However, it's not all about nation state and espionage, it's about identifying potential insider threat scenarios, understanding the organisation’s critical assets and the controls to protect them.
With the recent spate of data breaches originating from trusted insiders, how do enterprises ensure their data assets are safe from insider threat and appropriate controls are in place?
What models have been implemented to identify potential insider threat scenarios?
Which critical data assets must be safeguarded?
What combination of technologies are required to protect against insider threat?
Is there a psychology element?
The session seeks to answer these questions by sharing experience from two use cases; one which approached the problem from a technical perspective, and the other using consolidation of existing technology data sets.

Sans 20 CSC: Connecting Security to the Business MissionTripwire
You know the old break-up line, “it’s not you, it’s me….”? As a CISO, what if when you get your few minutes to discuss security with the C-suite, board of directors or mission leadership, it really turns out to be you not them who failed in the communication?
Lack of success in communicating with your C-suite could lead to a breakup sooner or later. I’ve had hundreds of conversations with and about CISOs communicating – - on topics ranging from security breach information, status, performance metrics, risk, visualizations, or overall security posture with their executive leadership.
And largely, it turns out to be no surprise that communicating security information is incredibly difficult, especially with non-technical, disinterested, or time-constrained C-suite executives.
Success with SANS
The initial UMASS Security Program was based on the ISO/IEC 27002 controls framework, then starting in 2011, the SANS 20 CSC were added. Today’s program includes both. The ISO controls focus on program management, compliance and process from an IT auditor’s perspective, while the SANS controls focus on technology means they are better aligned with IT operations.
Prior to 2011, Wilson was having difficulty communicating with executive management (CIOs and others) – it was difficult to translate the purchase and implementation issues surrounding firewalls, anti-virus, and vulnerability scanning into easily familiar business terms and concepts relevant to management and process.
However, when he ditched trying to explain the ISO/IEC 27002 security controls framework in favor of using the SANS 20 CSC, he was able to communicate much more effectively with his C-suite for the first time in a way they could absorb and support.
In addition, he and his team have been able to map out a measurable and actionable security program based on SANS that he regularly succeeds in communicating to his executive team.
To implement data-centric security, while simultaneously empowering your business to compete and win in today’s nano-second world, you need to understand your data flows and your business needs from your data. Begin by answering some important questions:
•
What does your organization need from your data in order to extract the maximum business value and gain a competitive advantage?
•
What opportunities might be leveraged by improving the security posture of the data?
•
What risks exist based upon your current security posture? What would the impact of a data breach be on the organization? Be specific!
•
Have you clearly defined which data (both structured and unstructured) residing across your extended enterprise is most important to your business? Where is it?
•
What people, processes and technology are currently employed to protect your business sensitive information?
•
Who in your organization requires access to data and for what specific purposes?
•
What time constraints exist upon the organization that might affect the technical infrastructure?
•
What must you do to comply with the myriad government and industry regulations relevant to your business?
Finally, ask yourself what a successful data-centric protection program should look like in your organization. What’s most appropriate for your organization?
The answers to these and other related questions would provide you with a clearer picture of your enterprise’s “data attack surface,” which in turn will provide you with a well-documented risk profile. By answering these questions and thinking holistically about where your data is, how it’s being used and by whom, you’ll be well positioned to design and implement a robust, business-enabling data-centric protection plan that is tailored to the unique requirements of your organization.

As businesses continue to adopt new cloud and mobile functionality rapidly, we find the
edges of the network even more blurred, and our definitions of data ownership and breach
responsibility continue to evolve. Staffing and training continue to be the foremost challenge
of the modern SOC. This is paving the way to hybrid staffing models and hybrid infrastructures
that require less in-house expertise. As a result, highly skilled security team members can then
be utilized for a more specialized hunt and analytics-focused work.
There is no question this year has been both an exciting and challenging time to be in the field
of cyber security. On one hand, it is disheartening to see the continued decline in the maturity
and effectiveness of security operations, while, on the other, I know that we are in the middle
of an exciting and transformative change in our field. You can feel it. We must go where the

The Industrial Internet is bringing about a profound transformation to global industry, by connecting more intelligent machines, advanced analytics, and people at work. This deeper meshing of the digital world with the world of machines has the potential to bring enormous economic benefits. We have estimated that this new wave of innovation could boost global GDP by as much as $10-15 trillion over the next 20 years, through accelerated productivity growth.
Discussions of the Industrial Internet tend to focus on the machines and the data, but people at work are an equally essential element of this revolution. In fact, it is exactly by changing the way people work that the Industrial Internet will deliver its benefts in terms of greater effciency, lower costs, and ultimately more and better jobs and rising living standards. Just as the Internet has fundamentally changed the ease with which we access information and interact with each other in our everyday lives, so the Industrial Internet will transform the way in which we can leverage information and collaborate in the workplace.

Abstract
The exponential growth of the Internet interconnections has led to a significant growth of cyber
attack incidents often with disastrous and grievous consequences. Malware is the primary choice
of weapon to carry out malicious intents in the cyberspace, either by exploitation into existing
vulnerabilities or utilization of unique characteristics of emerging technologies. The
development of more innovative and effective malware defense mechanisms has been regarded
as an urgent requirement in the cybersecurity community. To assist in achieving this goal, we
first present an overview of the most exploited vulnerabilities in existing hardware, software, and
network layers. This is followed by critiques of existing state-of-the-art mitigation techniques as
why they do or don\'t work. We then discuss new attack patterns in emerging technologies such
as social media, cloud computing, smartphone technology, and critical infrastructure. Finally, we
describe our speculative observations on future research directions.
A multi-layered approach to cyber security utilising machine learning and advanced analytics is
essential to defend against sophisticated multi-stage attacks including:
Insider Threats | Advanced Human Attacks | Supply Chain Infection | Ransomware |
Compromised User Accounts | Data Loss
Prepare for a cyber security incident or attack and how to adequately manage the aftermath with
an organised approach to Incident Response – coordinating resources, people, information,
technology and complying with regulations.
INSIDER THREATS
Insider threat can originate from employees, contractors, third party services or anyone with
access rights to your network, corporate data or business premises.
The challenge is to identify attacks and understand how they develop in real-time by analysing
and correlating the subtle signs of compromise that an insider makes when they infiltrate the
network.
Traditional security measures are no longer sufficient to combat insider threat. A more
sophisticated, intelligence-based approach is required. Cyberseer uses machine-learning
technology to form a behavioural baseline for every user to determine normal activity and spot
new, previously unidentified threat behaviours. The move to a more proactive approach towards
security will enable companies to take action to thwart developing situations escalating into
exfiltrated information or damaging incidents.
ADVANCED HUMAN ATTACKS
Advanced threats use a set of stealthy and continuous processes to target an organisation, which
is often orchestrated for business or political motives by individuals (or groups). The “advanced”
process signifies sophisticated techniques using malware to exploit vulnerabilities in
organisations systems. They are considered persistent because an external command and control

3 guiding priciples to improve data securityKeith Braswell
The information explosion, the proliferation of endpoint devices, growing user volumes, and new computing models like cloud, social business, and big data have created new security vulnerabilities. To secure sensitive data and address compliance requirements, organizations need to adopt a more proactive and systematic approach. Read this white paper to learn three simple guiding principles to help your organization achieve better security and compliance without impacting production systems or straining already-tight budgets.
Risk management is one of the main concepts that have been used by most of the organisations to protect their assets and data. One such example would be INSURANCE. Most of the insurance like Life, Health, and Auto etc have been formulated to help people protect their assets against losses. Risk management has also extended its roots to physical devices, such as locks and doors to protect homes and automobiles, password protected vaults to protect money and jewels, police, fire, security to protect against other physical risks. Dr. C. Umarani | Shriniketh D "Risk Management" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-5 | Issue-1 , December 2020, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd37916.pdf Paper URL : https://www.ijtsrd.com/computer-science/computer-security/37916/risk-management/dr-c-umarani
CISOS work hard to manage risk and ensure the security of the organization. But, they must also create an environment where business can be transacted seamlessly, conveniently and securely. With over a decade of supporting organizations in this mission, Security On-Demand has compiled the eight keys to security success which will help you achieve your goals of delivering security and business agility.

Container-based technology has experienced a recent revival and is becoming adopted at an explosive rate. For those that are new to the conversation, containers offer a way to virtualize an operating system. This virtualization isolates processes, providing limited visibility and resource utilization to each, such that the processes appear to be running on separate machines. In short, allowing more applications to run on a single machine. Here is a brief timeline of key moments in container history.

We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

INTELLIGENCE DRIVEN SECURITY
Today’s changing business requirements, exciting IT innovations, and the dynamic
threat landscape underscore the need for a modern security strategy that updates
security processes to achieve a more effective approach to cyber-defense. This paper
provides guidance for how to adopt an Intelligence Driven Security strategy that delivers
three essential capabilities; visibility, analysis, and action. These capabilities can help
detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats, confirm and manage identities,
and prevent online fraud and cybercrime. This strategy empowers organizations to
effectively address the challenges they have today and those still beyond the horizon.
2. Adopting Intelligence Driven Security
INTRODUCTION
It’s a classic example of a double-edged sword -- the very same IT innovations that
increased enterprise efficiency over the past decade have created opportunities for
dangerous, nuanced cyber threats to damage the organization. As enterprise processes
grew in sophistication, so too did attacker tactics; evolving beyond rudimentary mass
malware into precisely targeted, devastatingly advanced attacks. As IT plays an
increasingly central role in fundamentally transforming business operations and
creating new opportunities and advantages, IT risk and security challenges have never
been more important to address.
RSA’s Intelligence Driven Security strategy helps organizations mitigate the risk of
operating in a digital world. Organizations can employ this strategy to deliver the
visibility, analysis, and action they need to detect, investigate, and respond to advanced
threats, confirm and manage identities, and prevent online fraud and cybercrime.
THE CHANGING BUSINESS
Not so long ago, IT’s reach was well-defined and well-controlled. Most applications
required a comparatively small amount of access, little or no information was shared
externally, and IT had near-complete control over the infrastructure for applications and
access. Then things changed. Organizations recognized they could lower costs and
increase productivity by granting third-party access to applications, and as a result,
introduced a greater number of digital identities corresponding to employees,
suppliers, and partners. To further complicate matters, the workforce brought a host of
new personal mobile devices (mobile phones, laptops, and tablets) that all required
access. Many business processes, including core functions such as IP development or
financial transaction processing transitioned partially or fully to the cloud. Today, many
former in-house tasks are conducted outside the organization’s traditional “four walls.”
Further, the explosion of digital data created by new applications and new digital
business processes dispersed over multiple silos resulted in a significantly expanded
attack surface. Potential points of vulnerability increased, and the newly hyper-
extended business struggled to adequately secure what it suddenly didn’t own,
manage, or control.
Simultaneously, hackers, politically motivated “hacktivists,” and fraudsters capitalized
on this evolution, developing more advanced attack tactics, such as moving “low and
slow” to mimic the behaviors of a normal user, while their motivations transformed
from largely notoriety-driven to objectives like stealing intellectual property. With more
points of vulnerability and a lethal combination of hacker motivation and know-how,
the possibility of a breach today is unprecedented. In fact, most authorities agree that
yesterday’s goal of preventing every intrusion is impossible, and today’s security
imperative is to detect and stop intruders before they can cause damage or loss to the
organization.
Against this backdrop of a changing business, IT, and threat landscape, there’s a
fundamental disconnect between most organizations’ in-place security processes and
an effective, contemporary approach to cyber-defense. Intelligence Driven Security is
that new strategy.

3. Adopting Intelligence Driven Security
“In order to keep pace with the rapidly growing number of users, devices,
and internal and external threats, intelligence driven security has evolved
from a conceptual theory to a must-have strategy for today’s enterprise. This
proliferation of access requirements by people and devices has dramatically
increased security risk; ensuring that the right systems are accessed only by
those who are authorized is driving the need for intelligence around those
behaviors.”
Chris Christiansen, IDC
WHAT MAKES AN INTELLIGENCE DRIVEN SECURITY STRATEGY
INTELLIGENT?
An Intelligence Driven Security strategy delivers three essential capabilities designed to
prevent inevitable breaches from causing damage or loss: visibility, analysis, and action.
Visibility
Organizations gain visibility by collecting data about what matters. But what matters
today and what control points still exist in today’s hyper-extended enterprises?
First is risk -- What are the risks to the organization? What are its vulnerabilities? How
well is it defending against those at any given point in time? Without visibility into risk,
organizations can’t design optimal defense strategies or appropriately prioritize
activities. Second is what’s happening on the network. Network visibility needs to go
beyond what we have today, from logs and events down to the packet and session level
to spot faint signals that indicate advanced threats. Third is digital identities.
Organizations need to understand who/what are on their networks, what they are
doing, and is that behavior appropriate. And finally, transactions – organizations need
to know what’s happening inside key applications that drive the business.
Analysis
All the data gathered to gain visibility is useless without the ability to extrapolate
insight and meaning from it. Analysis involves understanding normal state behavior
and then looking for anomalies. By knowing what is “normal,” an organization can then
spot, investigate, and root out anomalies that result from malicious activity. Once
anomalies are discovered, additional, more detailed, contextual analysis may be
required to determine the appropriate response.
Action
Action is the response to confirmed malicious anomalies. Rapid action allows
organizations to mitigate potential threats by enforcing controls such as access
restrictions or additional authentication. Action also results in remediation processes
and activity. The key to success is keeping action consistent, so each time an analysis
finds something potentially threatening; the organization can “operationalize” the
response.

WHAT WOULD AN INTELLIGENCE DRIVEN SECURITY STRATEGY
LOOK LIKE?
An Intelligence Driven Security strategy places emphasis on detection, analysis, and
action while deemphasizing static, signature-based, perimeter detection. This “even-
split” approach understands the modern threat landscape and allocates resources
accordingly. This includes creating a better balance between monitoring, response
and prevention.
“Securing today’s global enterprise is a massive undertaking. With the
dissolution of the security perimeter, organizations need to take a more
intelligence-driven approach to security. Using data from systems and users to
drive decision-making can help improve the speed and efficiency of spotting
and responding to attacks and ultimately safeguard an organization’s most
important digital assets.”
William Boni, Corporate Information Security Officer (CISO) and Vice President,
Enterprise Information Security
The following charts demonstrate the difference in priorities between many of today’s
security strategies and an Intelligence Driven Security strategy.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
Aside from the critical capability to combat today’s increasingly dangerous threat
landscape, an Intelligence Driven Security strategy provides additional benefits:
Focus
Because Intelligence Driven Security drives action based on mitigating the most
pressing risks to the business, it ensures that organizations prioritize activity and
resources appropriately.

5. Adopting Intelligence Driven Security
Operational Benefits
Most organizations’ in-place security systems rely on a significant number of disparate
solutions; malware analysis, identity and access management, governance, risk, and
compliance, etc. Intelligence Driven Security reduces the number of point products and
fuses together otherwise disjointed data sets and tools, increasing both security and
operational efficiency.
Risk Avoidance
With the ability to identify attacks in a more timely fashion, Intelligence Driven Security
reduces bottom line loss that often results from an undetected breach.
Staffing Benefits
It’s no secret that there exists a dearth of needed talent in the IT Security industry. An
Intelligence Driven Security strategy can aid in attracting top performers, empower them
with the right set of technologies and tools, and make their efforts more extensible
throughout the organization. Automation and sophistication aids in freeing already
overburdened employees, focusing them on what matters to defend the organization,
and can elevate average performers into vital components of a winning IT security staff.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT ADOPTING AN INTELLIGENCE DRIVEN
SECURITY STRATEGY
While the upside is clear, there is also a significant downside for organizations who fail
to adopt an Intelligence Driven Security strategy:
Level of Exposure Rises
Every organization has something of value, including its brand, intellectual property,
and the bottom line. The inability to effectively manage today’s digital risks significantly
increases the potential for damage to this value. One devastating breach can wipe out
years of establishing steady revenue, cutting-edge research, or a trusted brand.
Falling Behind
Even if a breach never occurs, an organization that does not adopt an Intelligence
Driven Security strategy is at serious risk of jeopardizing competitiveness. An
organization that is able to effectively manage its digital risks can confidently channel
resources into growing, expanding, and differentiating via new IT initiatives, leaving
competitors behind.
Getting Started
Regardless of your current technology implementations or organizational security
maturity, a roadmap towards an Intelligence Driven Security strategy can be developed.
Current investments can be used as building blocks to a more sophisticated model.
Nearly every organization has the potential to gain the required capabilities for
visibility, analysis, and action. What’s important is not precisely where you are today,
but what next steps you take to improve. The goal should be a roadmap across people,
process, and technology to comprehensively increase maturity. The key is committing to
adopting a more Intelligence Driven Security strategy.
