Turning threat intelligence data from multiple sources into actionable, contextual information is a challenge faced by many organizations today. The Global Threat Intelligence Platform provides increased efficiency, reduces risks and focuses on global coverage with accurate and up-to-date threat intelligence.
This presentation was given at Carnegie Mellon University by Kenji Takahashi, VP of Product Management, Security at NTT Innovation Institute.
Talking about Next-Gen Security Operation Center for IDNIC+APJII as representative from IDSECCONF. People-Centric SOC requires lot of investment on human in terms of quantity and quality, unfortunately, (good) IT security people are getting rare these days. Organisation need to put their investments more on technology, as in Industry 4.0, machines are getting more advanced to support Human on doing continuous and repetitive task.
Moving from “traditional” to next-gen SOC require proper plan, thats what this talk was about.

As we get to know what life in the digital domain is like, one of the revelations we've had is that many large and plenty of smaller organisations are targets of espionage, of the nefarious APT.
During the last decade, it has become gospel to wait, watch, analyse and learn if you detect such an attacker in your infrastructure. Why? Because you get one chance to do the eviction of the attacker right. And if you fail, all your efforts will eventually have been for nothing.
But for how long should you wait and watch? When have you watched long enough? When have you learned enough? And how do you make that decision?
That is the challenge I hope the Cyber Threat Intelligence Matrix can help you face in a more structured manner.
6 Steps for Operationalizing Threat IntelligenceSirius
The best form of defense against cyber attacks and those who perpetrate them is to know about them. Collaborative defense has become critical to IT security, and sharing threat intelligence is a force multiplier. But for many organizations, good quality intelligence is hard to come by.
Commercial threat intelligence technology and services can help enterprises arm themselves with the strategic, tactical and operational insights they need to identify and respond to global threat activity, and integrate intelligence into their security programs.
Threat intelligence sources have varying levels of relevance and context, and there are concerns about data quality and redundancy, shelf life, public/private data sharing, and threat intelligence standards. However, if processed and applied properly, threat intelligence provides a way for organizations to get the insight they need into attackers’ plans, prioritize and respond to threats, shorten the time between attack and detection, and focus staff efforts and decision-making.

How to Hunt for Lateral Movement on Your NetworkSqrrl
Once inside your network, most cyber-attacks go sideways. They progressively move deeper into the network, laterally compromising other systems as they search for key assets and data. Would you spot this lateral movement on your enterprise network?
In this training session, we review the various techniques attackers use to spread through a network, which data sets you can use to reliably find them, and how data science techniques can be used to help automate the detection of lateral movement.

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
system .
Cyber-Espionage: Understanding the Advanced Threat LandscapeAaron White
Cutting through the APT hype to help businesses prevent, detect and mitigate advanced threats.
Sophisticated cyber-espionage operations aimed at pilfering
trade secrets and other sensitive data from corporate networks currently present the biggest threat to businesses. Advanced threat actors ranging from nation-state adversaries to organized cyber-crime gangs are using zero-day exploits, customized malware toolkits and clever social engineering tricks to break into corporate networks, avoid detection,
and steal valuable information over an extended period
of time.
In this presentation, we will cut through some of the hype
surrounding Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs), explain the
intricacies of these attacks and present recommendations to
help you improve your security posture through prevention,
detection and mitigation.

Develop a Threat Intelligence Strategy – Once the objectives have been defined, the organization needs to develop a strategy for collecting, analyzing, and reporting on Cyber Threat Intelligence.
Choose the Right Tools and Technologies – Choosing the right tools and technologies is critical for successful Cyber Threat Intelligence. The organization needs to select tools that are compatible with their existing infrastructure and can provide the necessary functionality for collecting and analyzing data.
Establish a Threat Intelligence Team – Establishing a dedicated team to manage Cyber Threat Intelligence is essential. The team should include a Cyber Threat Intelligence Analyst, who is responsible for collecting and analyzing data, as well as other members who can help with reporting and response efforts.
Improved Situational Awareness – Cyber Threat Intelligence provides organizations with a better understanding of the current threat landscape, including new and emerging threats.
Proactive Def
In the modern-day climate, more and more industries have had to increase IT security
expenses to provide a trusted system of security to all client/company PII from unauthorized users. The massive spike in IT security spending was brought on by the recent cyber breach on Equifax, in which millions of clients’ PII was accessed and distributed by an unauthorized user infiltrating the system. Like the Equifax attack, so many of these attacks require user-interaction to be activated or spread, so organizations must be on the forefront of understanding the internal threats of their own employees can impose.
Top 6 Sources for Identifying Threat Actor TTPsRecorded Future
Effective cyber security is a constantly changing set of goalposts, as threat actors find new and innovative ways to breach your network. By gaining an understanding of both your own weaknesses and your opponents’ strengths, you can drastically enhance your information security program.

# Internet Security: Safeguarding Your Digital World
In the contemporary digital age, the internet is a cornerstone of our daily lives. It connects us to vast amounts of information, provides platforms for communication, enables commerce, and offers endless entertainment. However, with these conveniences come significant security challenges. Internet security is essential to protect our digital identities, sensitive data, and overall online experience. This comprehensive guide explores the multifaceted world of internet security, providing insights into its importance, common threats, and effective strategies to safeguard your digital world.
## Understanding Internet Security
Internet security encompasses the measures and protocols used to protect information, devices, and networks from unauthorized access, attacks, and damage. It involves a wide range of practices designed to safeguard data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Effective internet security is crucial for individuals, businesses, and governments alike, as cyber threats continue to evolve in complexity and scale.
### Key Components of Internet Security
1. **Confidentiality**: Ensuring that information is accessible only to those authorized to access it.
2. **Integrity**: Protecting information from being altered or tampered with by unauthorized parties.
3. **Availability**: Ensuring that authorized users have reliable access to information and resources when needed.
## Common Internet Security Threats
Cyber threats are numerous and constantly evolving. Understanding these threats is the first step in protecting against them. Some of the most common internet security threats include:
### Malware
Malware, or malicious software, is designed to harm, exploit, or otherwise compromise a device, network, or service. Common types of malware include:
- **Viruses**: Programs that attach themselves to legitimate software and replicate, spreading to other programs and files.
- **Worms**: Standalone malware that replicates itself to spread to other computers.
- **Trojan Horses**: Malicious software disguised as legitimate software.
- **Ransomware**: Malware that encrypts a user's files and demands a ransom for the decryption key.
- **Spyware**: Software that secretly monitors and collects user information.
### Phishing
Phishing is a social engineering attack that aims to steal sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details. Attackers often masquerade as trusted entities in email or other communication channels, tricking victims into providing their information.
### Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks
MitM attacks occur when an attacker intercepts and potentially alters communication between two parties without their knowledge. This can lead to the unauthorized acquisition of sensitive information.
### Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attacks

Cyber Threat Intelligence in a Nutshell
What is the Threat Intelligence Cycle?
Cyber Threat Intelligence is a process in which information from different sources is collected, then
analyzed to identify and detect threats against any environment. The information collected could be
evidence-based knowledge that could support the context, mechanism, indicators, or implications about an
already existing threat against an environment, and/or the knowledge about an upcoming threat that could
potentially affect the environment. This information could then be used to take necessary actions to protect
against an attack from adversaries. The whole breakdown of the process is defined in the Cyber Threat
Intelligence Cycle.
The Threat Intelligence Cycle has different versions,
however the one shown is widely accepted in the
Intelligence Community (IC). The Threat
Intelligence Cycle is broken down into five steps.
Planning
and Direction Collection
Processing
Analysis
and Production
Integration and
Dissemination
• Planning and Direction: This phase of the cycle is
where we plan the process of collection, in which
direction to proceed, and identify what needs to
be collected. In other words, here we define what,
where, when, and how the collection process
should be done.
• Collection: This is the process of collecting
information from different sources using different
collection methods. Broadly, collection efforts are
divided into two - Manual and Automated. Manual
Collection is the process where collection is
achieved by HUMINT (Human Intelligence)
gathering mechanisms. On the contrary,
Automated Collection is the process where
collection is achieved by automating the
collection process from OSINT (Open Source
Intelligence), Logs, Data Points, Honeypots,
etc.
• Processing: Data collected in the collection process should be broken down or translated into a language
in which further analysis can be done. This might include translating the data to different file formats,
native language translation, tweaking data to specific formats, etc.
• Analysis and Production: Now that we have collected information from different sources using different
collection mechanisms and prepared it for further analysis, a much closer break-down is applied to assess
and answer different intelligence questions like what is happening, why is it happening, what could
potentially happen next, who are the adversaries, what is the motivation behind, what are the intentions,
etc.
• Integration and Dissemination: After filtering through the above-mentioned steps, we now have threat
intelligence which is ready to be shared. This threat intelligence is then integrated with existing systems or
disseminated in the best possible way for the audience to digest.

Sources of Information
All sources of information for Cyber Threat Intelligence is from either the Clear Web, Deep Web, or Dark
Web.
Clear Web: The Clear Web/Surface Web/Clear Net/Surface Net is the part of web that can be indexed by a
typical search engine.
Deep Web: The Deep Web/Deep Net is the part of web that a typical search engine cannot index. This part
of the web is still accessible through standard browsers, however, it might be protected or hidden from the
surface web using crypted URLs, password protected pages, local/internal networks, direct IP address, etc.
Dark Web: The Dark Web/Dark Net is the part of the web, which is a subset of the Deep Web, that is made
intentionally hidden and/or made inaccessible through standard browsers or require specific configuration
to access through standard browsers.
In general, sources of information can also be classified as
an internal or external source. Intelligence that is gathered
from the environment itself constitutes Internal Threat
Intelligence. This information could include what is already
known, what attack vectors are already availed, and how
the environment is already protected. Based on this
available information, an entity can define their attack
surface and an attack profile of their environment based
on different attacks they experience daily, which could
then be translated to Enterprise Intelligence.

Challenges and Limitations
Why Threat Intel? The Benefits.
Major challenges faced by enterprises towards threat intelligence by different industries include:
On the other hand, External Threat Intelligence comprises of intelligence that is acquired from outside the
environment. This could be information gathered via subscriptions to different information sources like
feeds shared within the community, information from similar industries, governments, and other intelligence
agencies, and/or other crowdsourced platforms.
• Most cyber security threats faced by different
enterprises today originate from advanced threat
actors, which include nation/state-sponsored
cyber criminals, organized hackers, and other
cyber espionage actors
• Challenges in early detection and identification of
threats by most organizations are due to the
clandestine nature of efforts to fight against
cyber crime
• Low, slow approach, complexity of resource
allocation, etc. also extend to cyber security
threats faced by enterprises today
• Cyber criminals operate in a very organized way,
and they hardly leave any digital traces behind.
This makes it challenging for enterprises to
identify any such trace of a sophisticated,
organized, and persistent attack
In short, enterprises require a third eye, which has
visibility beyond network borders into advanced
threats specifically targeting organizations and
infrastructure.
Conducting research for cyber threat intelligence in multiple sources can help an enterprise with:
• Early Detection of Breaches: The Collection process in the Threat Intelligence Cycle actively collects
both internal and external threats. Analyzing this information could help in the detection of any breach in
its early stages, thereby reducing the impacts caused by the breach.
• Avoiding Data Loss: A well-organized cyber threat intelligence framework for monitoring can effectively
detect any attempt of communication to untrusted destinations with malicious intent, thereby actively
preventing data loss.
• Incident Response: In an event of a security breach, threat intelligence can provide the magnitude of the
breach and Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) used, which can help further identify
compromised systems.

The Future of Threat Intelligence
Hundreds of thousands of new devices are exposed to the internet, daily. Since there is no such thing as
“100% security,” the risk of these devices being compromised remains. The scope for threat intelligence
increases with the advancement of technology. The collection process could be automated further, with the
scaling of sources.
Different types of analysis, like contextual analysis, behavioral analysis, co-relational analysis, etc. could be
applied to collected information for better threat intel. The use of artificial intelligence and machine learning
could be leveraged to reduce false positives and detect adversaries much earlier.
• Threat Research and Analysis: Research and Analysis of different threats, attack patterns, and Tactics,
Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) used by threat actors could help prevent future attacks.
• Analyzing Compromised Data: Detailed analysis of leaked data, in an event of a breach, can provide
further insights of the breach that extends to the motives behind the threat actors, data of interest, etc.
• Sharing Threat Intelligence: Sharing threat information helps others within the industry stay secure, and
thereby, gain knowledge about active threats and the TTPs used that target the industry. Sharing this
information with government and law enforcement agencies can also help them take necessary action
against adversaries.
