Learn the Secret of Building a Dynamic, Responsive Network Access Architecture
Today’s networking landscape is growing so fast that the most expansive predictions risk underestimating the phenomenon. Both the extent and rate of growth are breathtaking—and that could seem like a trickle compared to what’s in store. This deluge is the result of rising video and all-IP traffic volumes, rapid migration to the cloud, and momentum toward 100 GbE and 4G LTE, all accelerated by the insatiable appetite for tablets and smartphones.
Why is cyber security a disruption in the digital economyMark Albala
As we enter the digital economy, companies will quickly realize that the differentiator in the digital economy is information and information being a valuable resource is subject to theft, hacking, phishing and a host of other issues which compromise a company’s ability to participate in the digital economy. Cybersecurity misfires compromise the trust of buyers and partners necessary to participate in the digital economy. It is up to every company to ensure that the information shared with them is protected to the best of their ability and proactively notify persons and organizations who entrust their information necessary to transact business (any personal identity information including but not limited to addresses, credit card information, social security numbers, account information, credit information, medical records, etc.) with any potential compromises which can yield harm to them by that information either being used maliciously or shared with others.
The digital economy is different than other versions of commerce because in the digital economy, information is the lifeblood of digital commerce that passes through the hands of many platforms involved in a digital event. Each of these platforms are an opportunity to wreak havoc on your well-intended but incomplete intents to protect the information contained within the network you control. In the digital economy, it is not only the network you control, but the platforms that touch the personal data entrusted to you as a means of enabling digital commerce, and several techniques have begun to emerge to protect personal information contained within your information domain and the domain of platforms participating in digital commerce.
Because the life blood of the digital economy is information, information hacked in the digital economy is akin to shrinkage in the legacy economy. Both are means to directly attack your bottom line, whether it is redirecting customers elsewhere because they don’t trust your privacy program, ransomware which makes your site or one of your partner platform sites dangerous to use or some other reason which challenges your ability to participate in the digital economy. Shrinking the potential market share because of information safety and security challenges is a disruption, making cyber-security a disruptive activity, particularly if it is not dealt with swiftly.
If your cyber-security program is focused entirely on protecting the information housed in your four walls, you have exposed yourself to problems you will have difficulty in identifying both the source and the entry point of these issues.
The unfortunate reality is that because of the critical nature of the technology and
the services that it provides, the grid becomes a prime target for acts of terrorism and cyberattacks. In January 2008,
a CIA analyst reported that hackers had attacked foreign utilities, turning out the lights in several foreign cities. Even
if the motivation behind a targeted attack on the energy infrastructure is not terror or disruption, the evolving threat
landscape dictates that the potential financial gains of such action can be alluring to the cybercriminal network.

When companies hear the word “security,” what concepts come to mind

security conjures up images of locked-down networks and virus-free devices.

Enterprise Mobility Applications: Addressing a Growing GapBlackBerry
This new report on enterprise mobility applications highlights the alarming gap between Central IT and line-of-business IT environments. Millennials in particular are showing signs of growing frustration with the devices and software tools available to support them in the workplace. Many are making their own mobility arrangements, through ‘shadow IT’, despite growing regulatory risk. The advent of the ‘Internet of Things’ will further exacerbate the situation as mobile staff seek access to real time data from their phones and tablets.
Our recent survey of over 100 financial service organizations, conducted by Forbes Insights in the UK and North America, indicates that despite current business and employee demand, enterprise mobile applications remain at a very early stage of maturity, with less than a quarter of employees eligible to access such facilities. The implications here are profound, given the need to support mobile working with appropriate tools in every sphere of corporate activity today.
Many employees complain that the only advance over the last ten years has been to ‘mobilize the laptop’. This merely emulates the traditional desktop environment outside the office. Set against this stark background of underperformance in the mobility area, Central IT appears to be preoccupied with legacy issues such as costly infrastructures and aging systems. Our survey reveals that despite having developed policies and tools to address enterprise mobility, Central IT has little visibility of what is actually going on within the lines of business or at the end user level.
Nor does it have the necessary resources currently to respond rapidly to the growing pressures for workplace mobility. External agencies appear to be stepping in to fill this gap, frequently circumventing Central IT. Mobility remains low on the Central IT agenda.

Symantec's Internet Security Threat Report for the Government SectorSymantec
Symantec has established the most comprehensive source of Internet threat data in the world through the Symantec Global Intelligence Network, which is made up of more than 41.5 million attack sensors and records thousands of events per second. This network monitors threat activity in over 157 countries and territories through a combination of Symantec products and services such as Symantec DeepSight Threat Management System, Symantec Managed Security Services, Norton consumer products, and other third-party data sources.
In addition, Symantec maintains one of the world’s most comprehensive vulnerability databases, currently consisting of more than 60,000 recorded vulnerabilities (spanning more than two decades) from over 19,000 vendors representing over 54,000 products.
Spam, phishing, and malware data is captured through a variety of sources including the Symantec Probe Network, a system of more than 5 million decoy accounts, Symantec.cloud, and a number of other Symantec security technologies. Skeptic, the Symantec.cloud proprietary heuristic technology, is able to detect new and sophisticated targeted threats before they reach customers’ networks. Over 8.4 billion email messages are processed each month and more than 1.7 billion web requests filtered each day across 14 data centers. Symantec also gathers phishing information through an extensive anti-fraud community of enterprises, security vendors, and more than 50 million consumers.
Symantec Trust Services provides 100 percent availability and processes over 6 billion Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) look-ups per day, which are used for obtaining the revocation status of X.509 digital certificates around the world. These resources give Symantec analysts unparalleled sources of data with which to identify, analyze, and provide informed commentary on emerging trends in attacks, malicious code activity, phishing, and spam. The result is the annual Symantec Internet Security Threat Report, which gives enterprises, small businesses, and consumers essential information to secure their system effectively now and into the future.
The frequency and impact of cyber attacks have escalated cybersecurity to the top of Board agendas. Institutions are no longer asking if they are vulnerable to cyber attacks. Instead, the focus has shifted to how the attack might be executed, risks and impact. Most importantly, their organisational readiness and resilience to such threats.
The SolarWinds hack, first detected in December 2020 and referred to as “the largest and most sophisticated attack the world has ever seen” by the president of Microsoft, was a watershed moment in cybersecurity. Hundreds of organizations, including Fortune 500 companies and government agencies, were affected, with sensitive data compromised. A year on, a major study conducted by Splunk has found that 78% of companies expect the same thing to happen again.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

As telcos go digital, cybersecurity risks intensify by pwc

Communications Review / July 2015
Insights for telecom, cable, satellite, and Internet executives
As telcos go digital, cybersecurity
risks intensify
As telecoms pivot toward a more digital future, they will very
likely encounter entirely new types of cybersecurity risks to
data, applications, and networks. Yet according to findings from
The Global State of Information Security® Survey 2015, many
telecommunications companies are not doing enough to address
cyberthreats for today—or the future.
2. As telcos go digital, cybersecurity risks intensify Communications Review 1
As the telecommunications industry
continues its shift to a digital business
model, organisations are recasting
themselves as technology companies
that offer a broad array of digital
communications, connectivity, and
content services.
They are racing to deliver not
only high-quality and reliable
communications services, but also
to provide fresh content across a
range of computing platforms to
an expanding range of customers.
Digitisation also has led to new
products and services that are
created and delivered in innovative
ways, resulting in a raft of new
collaborations, joint ventures, and
strategic alliances across industries.
At the same time, a slew of big deals
are in the works, including mergers
of telecommunications companies,
multi-system operators, satellite
television providers, and mobile
communications networks. Some
telecoms are acquiring businesses
outside of their traditional scope
to gain intellectual property and
broaden their services.
Many of these changes are
compounding network traffic and
demanding that telecoms deliver
enhanced capacity and quality
of services—without raising fees
to customers. That represents
a formidable challenge as new
entrants to the telecom market and
lower pricing structures intensify
competition and, in some cases,
erode revenues.
Making matters more difficult: The
frequency and scope of cybersecurity
and privacy risks continue to mount.
While breaches have typically targeted
customer data, there is growing
concern that ultra-sophisticated
adversaries like nation-states,
organised crime, and hacktivists will
initiate attacks that disrupt services
and even cause physical damage. A
recent attack on a French television
network provides an example that
is uncomfortably close to home:
In April, politically motivated
hackers infiltrated a major television
broadcaster, knocking 11 channels off
the air and compromising websites
and social media accounts.1
As telecoms pivot toward a more
digital future, they will very likely
encounter entirely new types
of cybersecurity risks to data,
applications, and networks. Yet
according to findings from The
Global State of Information Security®
Survey2
2015 (GSISS),many
telecommunications companies
are not doing enough to address
cyberthreats for today—or the future.
A decline in detected security
incidents
Despite overwhelming evidence
that cyber-risks continue to multiply
across industries, the number of
security incidents detected by
telecommunications companies
dropped almost 20% in 2014,
according to the GSISS. (We define a
security incident very broadly as any
adverse incident that threatens some
aspect of computer security.)
But a drop in incidents is not
necessarily a good thing, especially
when we peel back the data one layer.
Security compromises are escalating
globally, so a decline in detected
incidents suggests that telecoms may
be unable to identify intrusions. This
seems increasingly likely as tech-
savvy adversaries, particularly foreign
nation-states and hacktivists, make it
their business to carry out complex,
sustained attacks without detection.
When we look deeper at the GSISS
results, we note in the broader survey
that large organisations saw incidents
increase 4% while incidents detected
by smaller organisations decreased
by over 20%. It may be the case that
these smaller companies become
the starting point for large complex
attacks against larger companies.
And nothing keeps executives awake
at night like the possibility of this
type of multifaceted assault. Nation-
states, in particular, often target
critical infrastructure providers
to steal intellectual property and
trade secrets as a means to advance
their own political and economic
advantages or to possibly better
position themselves to support
Cyberwar activities. Among telecoms,
incidents attributed to foreign nation-
states skyrocketed 139%, while those
ascribed to other foreign entities and
organisations soared 66%. We also
saw a 54% spike in compromises
by hacktivists and activists, which
often have ties to governments or
ideologically motivated groups.

3. As telcos go digital, cybersecurity risks intensify Communications Review 2
Given the boom in activity by
nation-states, it was not surprising
to find a sizable increase in the loss
of intellectual property and trade
secrets. More specifically, we saw a
substantial leap in theft of “hard”
intellectual property such as strategic
business plans, deal documents, and
sensitive financial information.
Loss of employee and customer
records, however, is still the most-
cited consequence of security
incidents. Telecoms, after all, often
store a trove of detailed and valuable
customer information, including call
histories, website click streams, social
media interactions, geolocation, and
Internet Protocol addresses. Theft of
this information is not only costly, but
can also jeopardise valuable customer
relationships and brand reputation.
While the overall number of detected
security incidents declined in 2014,
their financial impact took off in the
other direction. Monetary losses
attributed to security incidents soared
61% over 2013, and the number of
respondents who reported losses of
$1 million or more doubled. These
findings suggest that sophisticated
threat actors are refining their attack
techniques to target more data. As a
result, the clean-up is more costly.
Despite the spiralling costs of
cybersecurity incidents, investment
in information security slipped
6% in 2014, again led by smaller
organisations. One explanation may
be that telecoms boosted information
security spending in 2013, and
many businesses may have been
hard-pressed to continue this level
of investment. The spending slump
also suggests that security executives
are finding it difficult to prove the
return on investment of information
security outlays, particularly as global
operators’ revenues are beginning
to stall. It seems likely, however,
that recent high-profile attacks will
impact budgets in the future. That’s
something we plan to keep an eye on.
The rewards and risks of the
cloud, devices, and data
Digitalisation is generating seismic
changes in how telecommunications
companies deliver products and
services, manage their operations,
and interact with customers. In
particular, the nexus of cloud
computing, the Internet of Things,
and Big Data analytics is creating a
panoply of new services, customers,
and partnerships. In many cases,
however, telecommunications
businesses are not addressing the
risks that inevitably accompany this
degree of transformation.
Cloud computing: Over the past
decade, consumer and business
adoption of cloud computing has
been perhaps the greatest catalyst
for change and digitisation. As it has
become mainstream, the cloud has
rewritten the rules of how businesses
and consumers manage, use, and
think about technology.
In 2014, 60% of telecommunications
respondents said they employ some
form of cloud computing, up from
50% in 2013. Increasingly, telecom
operators are leveraging cloud
services to improve efficiencies in
business operations, roll out new
applications and services, and store
and distribute content. Many see
the cloud as a solution to deliver
expanded network capacity and
secure, reliable, and inexpensive
communications and content.
Theft of information is not only costly, but can also jeopardise valuable
customer relationships and brand reputation.

4. As telcos go digital, cybersecurity risks intensify Communications Review 3
The benefits of cloud services
continue to grow as the technology
matures, but so do risks. We found
several scenarios that may raise
concern. Consider, for instance, that
only 50% of telecom respondents
have a security strategy for cloud
computing. And “shadow IT”—
the purchase of cloud services by
business leaders without involvement
of IT—can increase risks because
the cybersecurity practices of cloud
providers may not be adequately
vetted. And even when IT is involved,
a lack of due diligence is common:
According to the GSISS, only 54%
of telecoms said they perform risk
assessments on third-party vendors
like cloud providers.
Certain technologies that are key
to cloud-based security are also
lacking. Consider that only 53% of
respondents said they have processes
for risk-based authorisation and
authentication, and fewer (49%)
have implemented identity and access
management tools. We also found that
people skills are often not prioritised.
Staff education should form the
Security strategies for evolving technologies, 2014

backbone of every information
security program, so it was worrisome
to learn that only 54% of telecom
respondents have a security
awareness and training program, a
decline over the year before. Slightly
more (56%) said they require
employees to complete training
on privacy policies and practices.
The Internet of Things: Imagine
a world in which everyone
and everything are connected.
Then consider the potential for
growth—and disruption—for
telecommunications organisations.
As more devices are interconnected
and share data, the Internet of Things
will open a fire hose of network traffic
and data volume. By the year 2020,
Gartner estimates that 25 billion
devices will be interconnected via
the Internet.3
Telecoms stand to
gain unique business opportunities
because these billions of devices will
be largely connected via the Internet,
cellular, and Wi-Fi networks.
What’s more, the digitally connected
home provides a natural entry point
for telecoms to develop and deliver
new services and products. Already,
some telecommunications companies
offer home automation, physical
security, and remote control of
lighting and thermostats as add-ons
to basic services. Wireless carriers, in
particular, can play an important role
because the smartphone will likely
serve as the remote control of the
digital home.
Business-to-business opportunities
are also thriving on the Internet of
Things, creating a constellation of
new partnerships and relationships.
In the US, AT&T and IBM are
developing a program for city
governments and midsize utilities
that will integrate and analyse data
from connected devices to help
improve urban planning and better
manage utilities equipment.4

5. As telcos go digital, cybersecurity risks intensify Communications Review 4
Some telecommunications companies
are preparing to move into the Wild
West of digital opportunity: mobile
payment systems.
Mobile payments aren’t exactly new, but
the ecosystem is quickly evolving as new
partnerships are formed among a range
of telecoms, technology companies, banks,
and retailers. It’s also a booming market:
Mobile payment transactions in the US
are forecast to climb to $8.95 billion this
year and reach $118.01 billion in 2018,
according to research company eMarketer.6
Long before Apple Pay was announced in
2014, telecoms in emerging markets took
the lead in implementing mobile payments.
The M-Pesa system was launched in Kenya
in 2007 by Vodafone; it now has 17 million
active users in Africa, India, and Europe.7
Other telecoms that operate their own
mobile payment systems include Deutsche
Telekom and Orange.
While mobile payment systems typically
comprise multiple partnerships, telecoms
hold a distinct advantage in that they
operate the network on which the financial
transactions are transmitted and have an
established, trusted brand with a reputation
for effective cybersecurity. Some also sell the
devices on which transactions are made.
As more digital payment systems are
introduced, they may bring unanticipated
security risks and broaden the cyberattack
vector. For example, MCX said that email
addresses of participants in a pilot for its
CurrentC payment system were breached
last year.8
Apple Pay also fell victim to
fraudsters when criminals entered stolen
payment card information into iPhones
and made fraudulent purchases.
industrial manufacturing, as well
as logistics, customer service, and
after-sales support.5
The business opportunities are
practically boundless, but so too
are potential cybersecurity risks.
The reason? As more devices are
connected, exponentially more data
will traverse interconnected business
ecosystems and will be in jeopardy
of compromise. It’s a threat that
many telecom companies seem to
recognise: 47% of respondents said
they have implemented a security
strategy for the Internet of Things,
and an additional 26% said they are
implementing one.
More specifically, securing the
Internet of Things will demand
that businesses deploy robust
authentication to maintain the
integrity of networks, applications,
and data. It did not inspire
confidence, therefore, to learn that
just 56% of respondents employ
multi-factor authentication.
Big Data: Like the Internet of Things,
Big Data is compounding the volume
of information that is shared and
potentially at risk. It also introduces
new imperatives for data privacy—
an issue that many telecoms do not
rigourously address.
As noted above, telecommunications
companies—wireless carriers,
in particular—store tremendous
amounts of very detailed information
about customers. If not properly
managed, the risks of compromise
and costs of maintaining data can
be prohibitive.
Consider, for instance, that only 53%
of telecom respondents said they
Cashing in on mobile payments
limit collection, retention, and access
of personal information, down from
57% last year. Only half (50%) said
they have conducted an inventory of
all third parties that handle personal
data of customers and employees, a
number that also declined over the
year before.
Telecoms that use Big Data analytics,
whether internally or as a service
offering to other businesses, should
frequently assess and update their
privacy programs to keep pace with
evolving customer demands and
ensure compliance with disparate
privacy regulations. Yet we found
that approximately 40% of survey
respondents do not review their
privacy policies on an annual basis.
What’s more, just 56% said they
require third-party vendors to comply
with their privacy policies.
6. As telcos go digital, cybersecurity risks intensify Communications Review 5
Strategic initiatives to
improve cybersecurity
While implementation of some
core security safeguards slipped
in 2014, the news is not all bad.
We saw a noticeable uptick in
adoption of new strategic initiatives
like risk-based information security
frameworks, external collaboration
to improve security, and purchase
of cybersecurity insurance.
In the US, many telecoms are
embracing the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST)
Cybersecurity Framework to more
closely link technologies, processes,
and personnel skills with their
risk-management activities. The
NIST Framework, which targets
critical infrastructure providers
and suppliers, has been adopted by
39% of US telecom respondents, a
rate that is higher than most other
industries. An additional 17% said
adoption of the Framework is a
future priority.
In addition to improving risk-based
cybersecurity, the Framework also
aims to create a common language
to facilitate collaboration and
communication among internal
executives and external industry and
government organisations. In the
past several years, sharing of threat
intelligence and response tactics
More than half (54%) of telecom respondents said they have purchased
cybersecurity coverage.
Adoption of strategic initiatives, 2014
has become an indispensable tool to
advance cybersecurity, one that the
telecom sector has readily adopted.
This year GSISS results show that
58% of telecom respondents said
they work with others to improve
security, slightly higher than the
overall survey sample.
Internally, it has become
increasingly critical that businesses
communicate with their Board of
Directors on cybersecurity oversight.
A comparatively high number of
telecom respondents (44%) said
their Board participates in the
overall information security strategy,
and 30% said directors are involved
in reviews of security and privacy
risks. While telecoms engage their
Boards to a greater degree than
many other industries, we believe
that all Boards should be involved in
cybersecurity oversight.
Risks will never be completely
eliminated, however, and many
organisations are finding that
cybersecurity insurance can
help mitigate financial losses of
cyberattacks. In fact, recent victims
of high-profile breaches reported
they have recovered tens of millions
of dollars in mitigation costs through
insurance coverage. It’s no wonder,
then that more than half (54%) of
telecom respondents said they have
purchased cybersecurity coverage.
We expect the numbers of companies
that take out policies will continue to
climb in the years ahead.

Building a future with
cybersecurity
Digitisation has transformed how
telecoms operate, provide services,
and communicate with customers.
This disruptive business ecosystem,
combined with increasingly
frequent and sophisticated cyber-
risks, demands a commitment
to cybersecurity that focuses on
highly trained personnel, up-to-date
processes, and the right tools to
detect, analyse, and respond
to threats.
A robust cybersecurity practice also
can create competitive advantages
by boosting customer trust in
the organisation’s brand and
reputation, giving the company a
leg up in launching new services
like mobile payments. Forward-
thinking telecommunications
organisations are also starting to
market cybersecurity services to
other businesses. Singapore Telecom,
for example, recently announced
plans to build out its cybersecurity
capabilities by purchasing the assets
of Trustwave, a US company that
provides managed security services.9
As the telecommunications industry
reinvents itself and cyber-risks evolve,
cybersecurity will continue to be
top of mind for telecom executives,
Boards of Directors, and consumers
alike. It is an all-encompassing,
persistent risk issue that is critical to
the resilience and revenues of today’s
increasingly digital telecoms and
retaining connected customers.
