Game theory applied to information security. Data from 2014 shows that attackers go after the low hanging fruit when it comes to choosing which vulnerabilities to exploit.
Staying ahead in the cyber security game - Sogeti + IBMRick Bouter
Cyber security is center stage in the world today, thanks to almost continuous revelations about incidents and breaches. In this context of unpredictability and insecurity, organizations are redefining their approach to security, trying to find the balance between risk, innovation and cost. At the same time, the field of cyber security is undergoing many dramatic changes, demanding organizations embrace new practices and skill sets.
Cyber security risk is now squarely a business risk – dropping the ball on security can threaten an organization’s future – yet many organizations continue to manage and understand cyber security in the context of the it department. This has to change.
Caveon Webinar Series - Creating Your Test Security Game Plan - March 2016Caveon Test Security
History has shown that as stakes rise for testing programs, so do threats to the program's test result validity. There are stories in the media almost daily about high-stakes programs suffering at the hands of those intent on obtaining the content for disingenuous purposes. Having a game plan in place before a threat or validity issue occurs is vital. This month's webinar will focus on key steps your organization can take to maximize your protection from test fraud, and stay one step ahead of the game.

Software vulnerabilities are regard as the most critical vulnerabilities due to its impact and availability as compared to hardware and network vulnerabilities. Throughout the years from the first appearance of software vulnerabilities in late 80s until today, there are many identified and classified software vulnerabilities such as the well-known buffer overflow, scripting and SQL command. We studied on those known software vulnerabilities, compared the criticality, impact and significant of the vulnerabilities, and further predicted the trend of the vulnerabilities and proposed the focus area based on the comparative studies. The result shows that C overflow vulnerabilities will continue to persist despite losing its dominance in terms of numbers of availability and exploitation. However, the impact of exploiting the C overflow vulnerabilities is still regard as the most critical as compare to others. Therefore, C overflow vulnerabilities will prevail again and continues its domination as it did for the past two decades.

john,
You provided a great explanation of what the MS-ISAC does for the organizations that it supports. Cities have a daunting task of trying to comply with federal regulations and laws as it tries to secure all of the sensitive data that it stores. There are several organizations that cities can partner up with to enhance security of their networks such as Cyber Security Research Alliance (CSRA), Microsoft, MITRE, and more. These partners can assist in planning and developing networks and other smart services. By partnering up with different organizations it will allow them to combat the many threats it faces.

With such resources available it’s hard to believe cyber-attacks are continuously successful at such a high rate. Swimlane.com published shocked 2015 stats and the numbers are enormous. To name a couple, there were over $169 million personal records compromised and some companies lost and upward of $300 for every personal record lost (Cornell, 2016). I’m also curious to know what type of insurance is provided by cybersecurity companies such as MS-ISAC. If a company suffers a loss due to a cyber breach with their operation were under the monitoring and maintenance of such a company, does the company cover the cost? Something I’ll research.

Hard to believe. Really. Do you know anyone that goes against their company policies and checks their personal email or better yet has to check their Facebook page? What about someone that clicks on a link within an email from a bank they do not have an account with. All the security controls in the world will not work if users of the system can circumvent them. Sure companies and agencies can automate and lock down most things; however, they try to maintain some level of balance for their workers so they accept a certain level of risks. Remember security is a responsibility of everyone not just cyber security and IT professionals.

Malware Risk Analysis on the Campus Network with Bayesian Belief NetworkIJNSA Journal
A security network management system is for providing clear guidelines on risk evaluation and assessment for enterprise networks. The threat and risk assessment is conducted to safeguard enterprise network services to maintain system confidentiality, integrity, and availability through effective control strategies. In this paper, based on our previous work in analyzing integrated information security management and malware propagation on the campus network through mathematical modelling, we proposed Bayesian Belief Network with inference level indicator to enable the decision maker to understand and provide appropriate mitigation decisions on the risks posed. We experimentally placed monitoring sensors on the campus network that gives the threat alert priority levels and magnitude on the vulnerable information assets. These methods will give a direction on the belief inferred due to malware prevalence on the information security assets for better understanding.

Respond agree or disagree
There is still an argument that whether the cloud system provides better security or not. The author clearly states that, the risk management depends on the deployment factors and security infrastructure existing in the organization. The writer also indicates about risk equation to evaluate the pros and cons of cloud regarding risk management and vulnerability (Lindstrom, 2015).
Pros of Cloud in Risk Management and Vulnerability
Scale and Flexibility: Since the need for cloud increases, the importance of managing vulnerability, considering risk management and other important factors also grows dramatically (Zhang, 2017).
Coverage and Visibility: In cloud system, there is a high possibility of coverage and visibility of assets, security and polices and guidelines that will help to understand the risk management and vulnerability of the cloud (Zhang, 2017)
Proactive Response: Security can be embedded during deployment and will provide a better protection method proactively (Zhang, 2017).
Cons of Cloud in Risk Management and Vulnerability
Change in Level of Threat: Due to the availability of the data to more people, there is more activity going on. Attackers use this opportunity to find vulnerability and make an attack. The threat increases once the data is available in the internet (Lindstrom, 2015).
Attackers Cost Benefit: Attackers do not spend more time by research and training. They always calculate their benefit. So, when data is available in the cloud, hackers will get good opportunity to attack the cloud (Lindstrom, 2015).
Deployment Risk: There is a high chance of vulnerability when the application environment is moving from the legacy system to highly distributed, virtualized architecture. The author also explains the possibility of collateral damage simply because the public cloud system is shared with others (Lindstrom, 2015).

Cyber risk management and the benefits of quantificationDavid X Martin
Cyber security is an unknown, unknown risk which is difficult to quantify. Focus on the impact of the cyber security events, not how they happen. Use disruption models to quantify operational disruptions. Convert as many unknown risks into known risks, so they can be quantified. And for those truly unknowable risks, focus on what needs to be done to ensure survivability.
Michael Roytman's CyberTech EU presentation. This was presented in October 2023 and includes data about vulnerabilities from 660 Cisco Vulnerability Management Customers. For a deeper dive, see the prioritization to prediction reports: https://www.cyentia.com/prioritization-to-prediction-v9/.
All of the data is generated from aggregated data from Cisco VM (Kenna) customers, or from telemetry data from Cisco, Alienvault, Reversings Labs, etc.
O'Reilly Security New York - Predicting Exploitability FinalMichael Roytman
Security is all about reacting. It’s time to make some predictions. Michael Roytman explains how Kenna Security used the AWS Machine Learning platform to train a binary classifier for vulnerabilities, allowing the company to predict whether or not a vulnerability will become exploitable.
Michael offers an overview of the process. Kenna enriches the data with more specific, nondefinitional-level data. 500 million live vulnerabilities and their associated close rates inform the epidemiological data, as well as “in the wild” threat data from AlienVault’s OTX and SecureWorks’s CTU, Reversing Labs, and ISC SANS. The company uses 70% of the national vulnerability database as its training dataset and generates over 20,000 predictions on the remainder of the vulnerabilities. It then measures specificity and sensitivity, positive predictive value, and false positive and false negative rates before arriving at an optimal decision cutoff for the problem.

Security is all about reacting. It’s time to make some predictions. Michael Roytman explains how Kenna Security used the AWS Machine Learning platform to train a binary classifier for vulnerabilities, allowing the company to predict whether or not a vulnerability will become exploitable.
Michael offers an overview of the process. Kenna enriches the data with more specific, nondefinitional-level data. 500 million live vulnerabilities and their associated close rates inform the epidemiological data, as well as “in the wild” threat data from AlienVault’s OTX and SecureWorks’s CTU, Reversing Labs, and ISC SANS. The company uses 70% of the national vulnerability database as its training dataset and generates over 20,000 predictions on the remainder of the vulnerabilities. It then measures specificity and sensitivity, positive predictive value, and false positive and false negative rates before arriving at an optimal decision cutoff for the problem.
RSA 2017 - Predicting Exploitability - With PredictionsMichael Roytman
Data driven decision making can be retrospective, real-time, or predictive. We use Amazon Machine Learning to predict the probability that a vulnerability will become exploited, using only the data available when a vulnerability is released.

Security Metrics are often about the performance of information security professionals - traditional ones are centered around vulnerability close rates, timelines, or criticality ratings. But how does one measure if those metrics are the rights ones? How does one measure risk reduction, or how successful your metrics program is at operationalizing that which is necessary to prevent a breach? The data we'll explore defined the 2016 Verizon DBIR Vulnerabilities section.
This talk will borrow concepts from epidemiology, repeated game theory, classical and causal probability theory in order to demonstrate some inventive metrics for evaluating vulnerability management strategies. Not all vulnerabilities are at risk of being breached. Not all people are at risk for catching the flu. By analogy, we are trying to be effective at catching the "disease" of vulnerabilities which are susceptible to breaches, and not all are. How do we determine what is truly critical? How do we determine if we are effective at remediating what is truly critical? Because the incidence of disease is unknown, the absolute risk can not be calculated. This talk will introduce some concepts from other fields for dealing with infosec uncertainty.
Attackers are human too - and currently available data allows us to make some predictions about how they'll behave. And to predict is to prevent.
Data Metrics and Automation: A Strange Loop - SIRAcon 2015Michael Roytman
Data informs Metrics, and Metrics are the basis for Automation in all fields. In information security, we are a at critical new juncture - an influx of data allows us to automate whole new subsets of the field. Doing so systematically and methodically, with appropriate frameworks, is a bigger challenge.

This is a week over week assessment of how information security breaches occur and which attack paths are most utilized this week. (June 2014). The approach is a data driven visualization method for determining which attack paths put an organization most at risk.
A Heartbleed By Any Other Name - Data Driven Vulnerability ManagementMichael Roytman
The heartbleed vulnerability exposes a weakness in current vulnerability management practices - namely, they aren't driven by the data. Starting with the data, we identify 4 vulnerabilities which are arugably more important than Heartbleed.
Using big data and implementing hadoop is a trend that people jump all to quickly to. Instead understanding the run time complexity of one's algorithms, reducing said complexity and managing the process from start to finish in a lean and agile way can yield massive cost savings - or save your organization.
