Sample Incident Response Plan
The document outlines Kevin Mitnick Memorial Hospital's Incident Response Plan with 4 phases:
1) Preparation establishes roles for a Computer Security Incident Response Team and employee training.
2) Detection details identifying and analyzing incidents through automated/manual scans and employee reports.
3) Response includes preserving evidence, containing/removing threats, and recovering from incidents.
4) Post-incident activities are conducting an after action report and notifying authorities/public of critical breaches.
The plan provides guidance for different incident severity levels and protecting patient health information.
Incident Response
The document discusses cybersecurity incident response and preparation. It notes that two-thirds of surveyed executives ranked cybersecurity as a top risk, but only 19% expressed high confidence in their ability to respond to an incident. It then discusses defining incidents, typical attack timelines, preparing a response team and plan, minimizing impact during an incident through best practices, and conducting recovery preparations through training exercises.
Security Metrics Rehab: Breaking Free from Top ‘X’ Lists, Cultivating Organic...
This document discusses moving away from relying solely on top security lists to define metrics and instead developing "organic metrics". It recommends starting by measuring activities aligned with your software development lifecycle processes. As the program matures, benchmarks and lists can be incorporated. Scorecards should report on internal metrics mapped to operational and financial goals rather than just security. Developing processes and metrics internally first allows contextual analysis and substantiates security initiatives across the organization. Relying only on lists does not foster developing meaningful metrics tied to the organization's needs.

External Attacks Against Privileged Accounts - How Federal Agencies Can Build...
This presentation examines the types of attacks that try to exploit privileged credentials, particular in a governmental environment, and explores defensive strategies to bring privileges, and the associated threats, under complete visibility and control.
External Attacks Against Pivileged Accounts
This document discusses how external attackers target privileged accounts to gain access to federal agency systems. It explains that attackers follow a predictable pattern: they try to access privileged accounts to move laterally across the network and access desired systems or data. The document recommends a layered defense approach to address each stage of an attack. It suggests securing privileged accounts, implementing least privilege, behavior analytics to detect anomalies, and session recording to investigate incidents. The document advises agencies to assess their ability to prevent entry, access, and malicious actions and close any gaps.

Why Penetration Tests Are Important Cyber51
Penetration tests are important for network security as they test networks for vulnerabilities by emulating hacker techniques. A penetration test involves security experts locating vulnerabilities in a network and then exploiting them. The results of a penetration test are reported to the organization and provide an evaluation of the network's security from an outsider's perspective so vulnerabilities can be repaired. Similarly, web application penetration tests are important as they identify security risks in web applications that could allow hackers to access data, shutdown sites, or defraud businesses. The results of web application penetration tests provide organizations with prioritized recommendations to address security issues.
Vulnerability Assesment
The document discusses technical vulnerability management and outlines the key steps in the NIST Risk Management Framework that include vulnerability analysis. It also covers establishing an effective Patch and Vulnerability Group to monitor for vulnerabilities, prioritize remediation, and deploy patches. Finally, it provides examples of different types of vulnerability analysis tools including network scanners, host scanners, and web application scanners.

Vulnerability Management Nirvana: A Study in Predicting Exploitability
When everything is a priority, nothing is. 15% or 10,000 vulnerabilities have a CVSS score of 10. Vendors and practitioners alike use CVSS or their own threat intelligence models to predict which vulnerabilities will be exploited next. We review current options, present a predictive data-driven prioritization model, and how attendees can get started using our approach in their vulnerability management program.
7 cyber security questions for boards
The cyber security job is everyone's business including the Board of Directors, even without a cyber security degree. Recent cyber security news proves that. According to several studies, Boards are getting it wrong and are leaving cyber awareness and risk management in the hands of the CEO, CISO, CTOs and cyber security companies. In a sense they are abdicating their responsibility to the shareholders. This slideshare proposes 7 questions every board should be asking their company executives abour IT security. They're not necessarily all encompassing and don't take the place of real cybersecurity training, but will drive the discussion to better and more complete understanding of strategic risk. Questions cover the basics of cyber security training, cyber policies, who briefs and when at board meetings. Thanks.
Mapping the Enterprise Threat, Risk, and Security Control Landscape with Splunk
The document discusses using Splunk to monitor network activity and detect potential security threats. It proposes using Splunk to profile VPN usage and detect abnormal remote access patterns that could indicate security compromises. It also proposes using Splunk to monitor network "jumping" where devices switch between the corporate network and guest network, to detect attempts to bypass security controls or access external websites hosting malware. The approach involves analyzing trends in network activity over time and drilling down on individual users as needed to investigate anomalous behaviors in more depth.
Security Implications of the Cloud
This document discusses security implications of cloud computing and web application attacks. It begins by showing statistics that web application attacks are now the leading cause of data breaches, but less than 5% of security budgets are spent on application security. There is a wide range of attacks targeting different layers of the application stack. Defending web applications and workloads in the cloud is complex due to rapidly changing code, vulnerabilities in third-party tools, and a lack of security expertise. Perimeter security tools are insufficient for protecting the cloud attack surface. The document advocates taking a layered approach to classify applications and workloads as known good, known bad, or requiring further review in order to address security risks in the cloud. It then provides an example of
10 Steps to Building an Effective Vulnerability Management Program
You can tune in for the full webinar recording here: https://www.beyondtrust.com/resources/webinar/10-steps-to-building-an-effective-vulnerability-management-program/
In this presentation from the webinar by cyber security expert Derek A, Smith, hear a step-by-step overview of how to build an effective vulnerability management program. Whether your network consists of just a few connected computers or thousands of servers distributed around the world, this presentation discusses ten actionable steps you can apply whether its to bolster your existing vulnerability management program--or building one from scratch.
Demonstrating Information Security Program Effectiveness
Measuring the effectiveness of an information security program is important for governance, continuous improvement, and providing assurance. Key things to measure include compliance with frameworks, control effectiveness, and progress towards goals. Metrics should be tailored to different audiences like executives, managers, and security staff.

How to Detect a Cryptolocker Infection with AlienVault USM
As an IT security pro, unless you've been hiding under a rock, you've heard about ransomware threats like Cryptolocker. These threats are typically delivered via an e-mail with a malicious attachment, or by directing a user to a malicious website. Once the Cryptolocker file executes and connects to the command and control server, it begins to encrypt files and demands payment to unlock them. As a result, detecting infection quickly is key to limiting the damage.
AlienVault USM uses several built-in security controls working in unison to detect ransomware like Cryptolocker, usually as soon as it attempts to connect to the command and control server. Join us for a live demo showing how AlienVault USM detects these threats quickly, saving you valuable time in limiting the damage from the attack.
You'll learn:
How AlienVault USM detects communications with the command and control server
How the behavior is correlated with other signs of trouble to alert you of the threat
Immediate steps you need to take to stop the threat and limit the damage

Presentation on vulnerability analysis
This document presents SAVI (Static Analysis Vulnerability Indicator), a method for ranking the vulnerability of web applications using static analysis of source code. SAVI combines results from several static analysis tools and vulnerability databases to calculate a metric called Static Analysis Vulnerability Density (SAVD) for each application. The authors tested SAVI on several open source PHP applications and found SAVD correlated significantly with future vulnerability reports, indicating static analysis can help identify post-release vulnerabilities.
Security Threat Mapping
This document introduces a security threat mapping template for tracking threats on a continuous basis. The template is meant to track technical weaknesses, exploited vulnerabilities, and organizational threats. It also tracks the impact areas of confidentiality, integrity, availability, and non-repudiation. The template can be used to highlight existing and planned controls and display residual risk after controls are implemented.

Bit defender ebook_secmonitor_print
The document discusses the need for continuous security monitoring in modern IT environments. It argues that traditional, periodic security assessments are no longer sufficient given how quickly technology and threats are evolving. Continuous security monitoring allows organizations to adapt security as quickly as their infrastructure and applications change. The document recommends starting with established frameworks like NIST SP 800-137 or the SANS 20 critical security controls and implementing tools and processes for asset management, configuration management, vulnerability management, access control, and incident response. This represents a shift from compliance-driven security to an automated, ongoing approach.
IBM X-Force Threat Intelligence Quarterly Q4 2015
The document discusses four key cybercrime trends observed by IBM's Emergency Response Services team in 2015: 1) an increase in "onion-layered" security incidents involving both unsophisticated and advanced attackers; 2) a rise in ransomware attacks that encrypt files and demand ransom; 3) growing threats from insider attacks; and 4) cybersecurity becoming a higher priority issue for management. It provides details on each trend and recommendations for organizations to improve security practices such as patching systems, increasing network visibility, training users, and having proper backup and response plans in place.

GBS - Prevent network security fires
HVAC systems and other networked devices on a corporate network can expose the network to attacks if not properly monitored and secured. A recent report found that over a third of security breaches started with compromised credentials from a third party vendor. Most companies have difficulty identifying the source of malicious attacks or seeing all devices connected to their network. Implementing endpoint profiling and authentication technologies can provide visibility into all endpoints and their behavior, enabling companies to quickly detect issues and prevent damaging breaches.

Introduction:
Interruption location frameworks (IDSs) are programming or equipment frameworks that robotize the way toward observing the occasions happening in a PC framework or system, examining them for indications of security issues. As system assaults have expanded in number and seriousness in the course of recent years, interruption recognition frameworks have turned into an essential expansion to the security foundation of generally associations. This direction archive is planned as a preliminary in interruption recognition, created for the individuals who need to comprehend what security objectives interruption location components serve, how to choose and design interruption discovery frameworks for their particular framework and system situations, how to deal with the yield of interruption identification frameworks, and how to incorporate interruption recognition capacities with whatever remains of the authoritative security foundation. References to other data sources are likewise accommodated the peruse who requires particular or more point by point guidance on particular interruption identification issues.
In the most recent years there has been an expanding enthusiasm for the security of process control and SCADA frameworks. Moreover, ongoing PC assaults, for example, the Stunt worm, host appeared there are gatherings with the inspiration and assets to viably assault control frameworks.
While past work has proposed new security components for control frameworks, few of them have investigated new and in a general sense distinctive research issues for anchoring control frameworks when contrasted with anchoring conventional data innovation (IT) frameworks. Specifically, the complexity of new malware assaulting control frameworks - malware including zero-days assaults, rootkits made for control frameworks, and programming marked by confided in declaration specialists - has demonstrated that it is exceptionally hard to avert and identify these assaults dependent on IT framework data.
In this paper we demonstrate how, by joining information of the physical framework under control, we can distinguish PC assaults that change the conduct of the focused on control framework. By utilizing information of the physical framework we can center around the last goal of the assault, and not on the specific instruments of how vulnerabilities are misused, and how ...

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

- 3. FISMA compliance as it is plays out in the US Government today: Security person: “I hear you. But if you don’t accept the risk and accredit the system, the Deputy Secretary is going to kill the CIO and you and me. Clay Johnson in the White House is pressuring him to get all our systems accredited by July 1.“ Project person: “Our system goes live in three weeks; NIST documents are two feet thick; it would take a year and a huge amount of money to meet all those requirements – in fact it would take months and $100,000 just to study all the NIST special pubs and agree on what they require us to do. Do we have any other options?” Security person: “All you have to do is get a consultant to write a report listing risks and then persuade the designated approving authority (DAA) to sign a document saying he accepts the risks.” DAA: “I don’t understand all the stuff in this consultant’s report. I won’t sign it.” DAA: “OK, Where do I sign?” Security person: “You need to make sure your project meets all NIST security requirements.”
- 6. Should this be mandatory? “ there is flexibility within NIST’s guidance in how agencies apply the guidance. “ (SP800-53) “ Consequently, the application of NIST guidance by agencies can result in different security solutions that are equally acceptable ” (SP800-53)
