While traditional cybersecurity defenses focus on prevention, there are many vulnerabilities and potential attacks against weapon systems. While weapon systems are more software dependent and networked than ever before, cybersecurity has not always been prioritized with regards to weapon systems acquisition.
Threat actors have advanced in their sophistication as they are well-resourced and highly skilled, oftentimes gathering detailed knowledge of the systems they want to attack. Ensuring stronger detection methods is imperative, but because these types of threats are very targeted and advanced, agencies need the capability to proactively hunt.

Threat Hunting - Moving from the ad hoc to the formalPriyanka Aash
In order to effectively defend your organization, you must think about the offensive strategy as well. But before we get ahead of ourselves let’s talk briefly about the building blocks of a good offense. First is an architecture that is built around a security policy that is aligned with the business risk. Risk must be understood and a cookie cutter approach must be avoided here because again every organization is different and so are their risks.
Knowledge for the masses: Storytelling with ATT&CKMITRE ATT&CK
From ATT&CKcon 3.0
By Ismael Valenzuela and Jose Luis Sanchez Martinez, Trellix
The Trellix team believes that creating and sharing compelling stories about cyber threats -with ATT&CK- is a powerful way for raising awareness and enabling actionability against cyber threats.
In this talk the team will share their experiences leveraging ATT&CK to disseminate Threat knowledge to different audiences (Software Development teams, Managers, Threat detection engineers, Threat hunters, Cyber Threat Analysts, Support Engineers, upper management, etc.).
They will show concrete examples and representations created with ATT&CK to describe the threats at different levels, including: 1) an Attack Path graph that shows the overall flow of the attack; 2) Tactic-specific TTP summary tables and graphs; 3) very detailed, step-by-step description of the attacker's behaviors.

Threat Modelling - It's not just for developersMITRE ATT&CK
From ATT&CKcon 3.0
By Tim Wadhwa-Brown, Cisco
The purpose of this session will be to look at how you can take public information about threat actors, vulnerabilities, and incidents and use them to build better defenses, utilizing ATT&CK along the way to align your security organization to the people and assets that matter.
Stories are critical to how humans learn, so this session will leverage a story book approach to give the audience some ideas on approaches they could use. Tim will take the audience through 3 real world examples where he has leveraged ATT&CK to drive operational improvement. The premise of each story will be real, although some of the details will be apocryphal to protect the innocent.
One story will focus on defending a network, one will look at adversary detection, while the final one will look at responding to an active attack and in each case, Tim will guide the audience to think about the kinds of data sources that ATT&CK tracks, that they might call upon to achieve a successful outcome.
To improve your (threat) modeling career, you need a better (threat) agent (library)! Threat modeling is a process for capturing, organizing, and analyzing the security of a system based on the perspective of a threat agent. Threat modeling enables informed decision-making about application security risk. In addition to producing a model, typical threat modeling efforts also produce a prioritized list of security improvements to the concept, requirements, design, or implementation. In 2009, OWASP posted wiki pages on threat modeling. Although there was the start of a section on threat agents, it has yet to be completed.
Intel developed a unique standardized threat agent library (TAL) that provides a consistent, up-to-date reference describing the human agents (AKA; threat actors) that pose threats to IT systems and other information assets. Instead of picking threat agents based on vendor recommendations and space requirements in Powerpoint, the TAL produces a repeatable, yet flexible enough for a range of risk assessment uses. We will cover both the TAL, the Threat Agent Risk Assessment (TARA), how they can be used to improve threat modeling.

The ATT&CK Latin American APT PlaybookMITRE ATT&CK
From ATT&CKcon 3.0
By Santiago Pontiroli and Dmitry Bestuzhev, Kaspersky
Financially motivated cyber-attacks thrive in emerging Latin American markets. However, there's room for locally grown threat actors operating in the cyber espionage field as well. During the last decade, this includes but is not limited to Blind Eagle, Puppeteer, Machete, Poseidon, and others. We also saw foreign operations targeting specific assets in Latin America, still connected to certain regional sources.
Since the threat actors' origin, culture, and language is often different, it's not uncommon for tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) to present marked differences. As a result of our regional expertise and experience, we created MITRE's ATT&CK play-by-play mappings to help other analysts understand regional actors. If you are interested in threat intelligence and what's going on in Latin America, this presentation is for you. Our work is based only on real-world attackers and their operations, including those not publicly known, such as COVID-19 Machete's targeted campaign.
Security Management is very complex and does not limit itself to products and technologies. It is important to consider alternatives when setting up a Security Operation Center (SOC), from insight into the business plan requirements, ability and the skill set of people who will handle the SOC, the responsibilities for the team, budget and more.
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.

Presentation by Larry Clinton, President of the Internet Security Alliance (ISA) to the 66th Annual Fowler Seminar on Oct 12 2012 titled Evolution of the Cyber Threat - A Unified Systems Approach.
Breaking down the cyber security framework closing critical it security gapsIBM Security
Cyber crime is pervasive and here to stay. Whether you work in the Public Sector, Private Sector, are the CEO for a Fortune 500 Company or trying to sustain a SMB everyone is under attack. This February, President Obama, issued an executive order aimed at protecting critical business and government infrastructure due to the scale and sophistication of IT security threats that have grown at an explosive rate. Organizations and Government agencies have to contend with industrialized attacks, which, in some cases, rival the size and sophistication of the largest legitimate computing efforts. In addition, they also have to guard against a more focused adversary with the resources and capabilities to target highly sensitive information, often through long-term attack campaigns. Many security executives are struggling to answer questions about the most effective approach.
Security - intelligence - maturity-model-ciso-whitepaperCMR WORLD TECH
A Time of Great Risk: The Time Between Compromise and Mitigation
In most organizations today, threat detection is based on various security sensors that attempt to look for anomalous behavior or for known signatures of malicious activity. These sensors include firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS), application gateways, anti- virus/anti-malware, endpoint protection, and more. They operate at and provide visibility into all layers of the IT stack.

The Chinese government has been involved in, or sponsored, attacks aimed at the State
Department, Commerce Department, Senators, Congressmen, and US military labs.89
Cyberwar attacks can be launched without engaging in physical hostilities and still do
tremendous damage. Countries can use cyberwar attacks to do massive damage to one
another’s financial infrastructures, to disrupt one another’s communication infrastructures,
and to damage the country’s IT infrastructure all as precursors to actual physical hostilities.
Cyberterror
Another nightmare scenario is cyberterror, in which the attacker is a terrorist or group of
terrorists.90 Of course, cyberterrorists can attack information technology resources directly.
They can damage a country’s financial, communication, and utilities infrastructure.91

This in-depth understanding of your cyber terrain informs your defense, allowing you to lay traps and pitfalls for would-be attackers. Knowing what attackers are looking for and how they are going to try to move throughout your network provides you with a key advantage. With this knowledge, Deception technology becomes a powerful weapon in your defensive arsenal.
Join Fidelis Threat Intelligence experts, Danny Pickens and Aamil Karimi for a live webinar as they present their findings from a series of data sets and dive into the implications for enterprise organizations, breaking down how security experts can apply threat intelligence insight to their real world defensible strategies.
Extend Network Visibility and Secure Applications and Data in AzureFidelis Cybersecurity
Cloud adoption of applications and data, mainly into VMs using infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS,) is well underway with organizations expected to reach 60-80% adoption of their portfolios by 2021. What remains behind are legacy applications and supporting office and campus networks for workplace collaboration and reduced or closed data centers. Gaining visibility of VM-based cloud applications and data to detect threats and data loss/theft has been challenging, and securing this traffic requires new approaches.
If you have Azure-based applications or are considering hosting applications in Azure, register for this webinar to find out how Microsoft, Gigamon and Fidelis Cybersecurity can provide the visibility and security required for your cloud-based traffic.
Insider Threats Part 2: Preventing Data Exfiltration with Fidelis ElevateFidelis Cybersecurity
This webinar is a continuation to Part 1: Identifying Insider Threats with Fidelis EDR Technology. Fidelis Engineers, Lucas Chumley and Louis Smith will provide a demonstration of how Fidelis Technology can help organizations respond to and prevent an insider threat from moving data externally. You’ll learn how our Elevate technology can be leveraged to successfully identify what data has left your network, and how to prevent data leaving in future by looking for similar information on all other assets.
Watch this recorded webinar to hear SANS Principal Instructor, Alissa Torres, Fidelis Chief Scientist, Dr. Abdul Rahman and Cyber Security expert, Tom Clare, discuss how organizations can evolve their approach to the fundamentals of a defensible security architecture toward a more robust strategy that is strong enough to defend organizations from the threats of today, and the zero-day threats of tomorrow.
Part 1: Identifying Insider Threats with Fidelis EDR Technology Fidelis Cybersecurity
Sometimes the biggest threat to your sensitive data is not malware or an external bad actor, but one of your own employees. Sales Engineers Lucas Chumley and Louis Smith will demonstrate how to minimize the risk posed by an insider threat. Part One of this demonstration will show how Fidelis technology can help identify and provide initial notification of a probable threat and then automate response, including changes to user privileges and monitoring capabilities to prevent lateral movement of data internally.
As more organizations implement cloud strategies and technologies, the volume of data being transmitted to and from the cloud increases – data that must be protected. Security monitoring for threats, compromise or data theft within cloud-based applications has been difficult to achieve without the use of VM-based monitoring agents, but this is changing. Fidelis Network® Sensors coupled with Netgate TNSR™ can provide an easy-to-deploy cloud mirror port for traffic visibility, threat detection, and data loss and theft detection.
If you currently have AWS-based applications or are considering hosting applications in AWS, watch this recorded webinar to find out how Fidelis and Netgate can support the security of your cloud-based data via a high-speed cloud mirror port.
In this webinar, we discuss:
- The cloud environment and the state of cloud security today
- The technology and the integration capabilities of Netgate TNSR and Fidelis Network
- The benefits of deploying Fidelis Network sensors in the cloud no reconfiguring of applications required
As cyber criminals and nation-states continue to improve the sophistication of attacks that bypass traditional preventive defenses, organizations must evolve their security defenses to reduce dwell time. Join Fidelis Advisor, and ex CIA CTO, Bob Flores and Fidelis Senior Manager, Tom Clare as they delve into the results of The 2018 State of Threat Detection Report and discuss what the research means for organizations large and small across the globe.
Critical Capabilities for MDR Services - What to Know Before You BuyFidelis Cybersecurity
24/7 coverage and skills shortages for post breach detection and response are driving the need for Managed Detection and Response (MDR) Services. Analysts are predicting 15X growth for MDR services over the next few years as security leaders shift their focus from prevention to detection knowing attacks are evading existing defenses, often without malware by using macros and scripts.
Managed services often use MDR marketing messages and this sometimes results in their security monitoring services not meeting expectations. Buyers must learn what to look for in an MDR solution to avoid falling into this trap.
You can't detect what you can't see illuminating the entire kill chainFidelis Cybersecurity
Organizations receive an overwhelming amount of alerts every day from their SIEMs, IPS/IDS, next gen firewalls, etc. Result is too many alerts and not enough manpower, visibility across the organization or enough context to make the right decisions.
We look at every stage of the attack lifecycle…and on every port and protocol. With Fidelis there’s no place for attackers to hide.
Many solutions in the DLP marketplace today are more focused on monitoring and alerting when data has been leaked rather than preventing the actual leak. To ensure adequate protection of sensitive digital assets, it is imperative to implement a solution that not only identifies but prevents a leak before it occurs.
Ensure the security of digital assets with a full-featured network DLP solution.
With Fidelis Network®, you can block network data exfiltration in the present and look back in time to understand where, when, and how these exfiltration attempts took place and what systems were compromised.
Fidelis Endpoint combines rich endpoint visibility and multiple defenses with incident response workflow automation including deep interrogation and recorded playbacks reducing response time from hours to minutes for security analysts. The Fidelis Endpoint module is a component of the Fidelis Elevate platform that delivers automated detection and response.
Here’s some of what we’ll cover:
-Visibility into all threat activity at the endpoint
-Hunting for threats directly on the endpoint, in both file system and memory
-Key event recording and automatic timeline generation
-Automated endpoint response using scripts and playbooks
-Integration with Fidelis Network to improve your team's effectiveness and efficiency
Capture the flag (CTF) exercises and events continue to increase in popularity providing essential training and skills development for defenders on blue teams and attackers on red teams. Jeopardy style or attack-defense CTF cyber exercises enable experienced participants and novices to work side by side on teams developing communication, time management and problem solving skills in a safe environment with ground rules and prizes for winners. Defending blue teams often dread the embarrassment of being attacked and compromised until modern deception defenses arrived. Deception defenses mimic a real environment with decoys and breadcrumbs creating an unknown mine field for attackers to detect their activity and movements giving defending blue teams a new advantage.
While network security teams are starting to shift their focus from perimeter defense to post-breach detection, traditional detection tools fall short of the mark, either generating far too many false-positives or altogether failing to detect attacks in real time.
Modern Deception, which Gartner recently rated as a top security technology, changes the game. The goal of a deception defense is to lure attackers to ‘decoy’ assets that look and feel real but aren’t. By engaging with a deception environment that automatically updates to match the real network or cloud environment, attackers or malicious insiders essentially reveal themselves to the organization without knowing it.
Learn how your organization can use deception defenses to ensure an efficient and strong post-breach defense.
Fidelis Cybersecurity commissioned 360Velocity to conduct an enterprise study on the State of the SOC, including current trends and practices of threat detection and response. Join this webinar to listen to security experts Dr. Chenxi Wang of 360Velocity and Tim Roddy, VP of Cybersecurity Product Strategy at Fidelis examine how to standardize processes for threat detection and response & the case for and how to integrate network sensors and endpoint enforcement

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).

in government and
industry systems
6. A Brief History
If you know human
history you have the
most important things
down already
7. The Condensed History of the Cyber Threat
• 1862 Civil War: Both sides attacked, exploited, hacked. Cyber attack enabled “The
Great Locomotive Chase” which also destroyed comms infrastructure
• 1998 Moonlight Maze: It takes a nation to fight a nation
• 2007 Estonia: Be ready to weather a storm
• 2008 Georgia: Expect cyber attacks timed to military ops
• 2008 Turkey Pipeline: Large cyber to physical attack
• 2011 Wikileaks: Know the human element. Balance info sharing and protection
• 2013 DSB Report: Software for most weapon systems stolen
• 2013 Mandiant Report: Cyber intel is strategic
• 2013 Snowden Leaks: Know the threat before it strikes
• 2013/14 Banks and Retail: Nothing stops this adversary
• 2014/15 Embedded IT, including in DoD: Threat actors will find a way
• 2015 Healthcare and Governments: No sector immune
• 2016: Turla Attacks: Telecom sector a target
• 2016: Shift to small and mid-sized businesses, supply chain, and home users
• 2017/18: Privacy attacks at scale, ICS/SCADA/Telecom, Cyberwar
• 2019: Adversary use of AI and Machine Learning7
8. Now Some Historical Context
8
8 How we think.
Today’s hackers are made of the same stuff as the famously
persistent Hannibal, who did not give up till he got through the
impassible firewall of the Alps
10. What Are We Seeing Today:
• Phishing remains dominant path to organizations… exploits human traits of compassion and
curiosity.
• Adversaries constantly shift tactics. When Phishing doesn’t work there are plenty of other
avenues in.
• The big breaches get the press, but many criminals prefer mid-sized businesses, individual
users (you!), and government agencies.
• DDoS attacks evolved. Can be large enough to take companies offline.
• IoT is here... But little indication of IoT security solutions (Lots more room for innovation here).
• Complex command and control infrastructures leverage unsuspecting companies and their
servers/telecom.
• Ransomware evolving/becoming harder to prevent/beat.
• 28% of breaches involved insiders. The worse were working for criminals or nations so the “outsider”
is still a huge threat.
• Adversaries also exploiting vulnerabilities in hardware (Spectre and meltdown)
• Governments (especially Russia, China, Iran, DPRK) invest in targeting infrastructure and
weapon systems
10
12. Actions: Know The Adversary
• Be Prepared To Be Surprised: Big lesson from both history and
study of current threats. You will be surprised, so have an incident
response plan and exercise it.
• Know that the adversaries have weaknesses too: They must obey
the same laws of physics that constrain defenders. And when they
are in your networks they are on your turf which gives you an
advantage. Ensure your defenses are agile enough to take
advantage of their weaknesses. Be ready to deceive your adversary.
12
13. Actions: Know Yourself
• Know your own organization: Assess and Understand: Know what data,
systems and capabilities are most important to the function of your
organization, and maintain continuous automated awareness of their
status.
• It takes teams to beat teams: No organization can match the technical
talent of the modern cyber criminal or nation. Build trust based teams
now. Leverage the power of other organizations for your defense.
Security professionals, law enforcement, cloud service providers, the
FBI, the US CERT, and the appropriate ISAC (FS-ISAC for financial
sector).
• Test yourself: through independent assessment and realistic
training/evaluations (table top exercises)
13
14. Actions: Raise Your Defenses
• Enhance Defenses: The adversary in cyberspace is continuing to
innovate, which means we must continue to review our defenses
and modernize. Automating is key. Automate configuration
management, automate detection, automate response, automate
deception.
• Design for Containment: Early detection and rapid incident
response will be aided if systems are designed to contain
adversaries. Containment of attacks is especially important in
malicious code. IoT devices critical to segment.
• Ensure Backup: Every critical system must have a backup, and
recovery methods must be defined and tested.
14
15. Get Your Mental Model Right: Think OODA
• Observe: What do you know about the
situation, including adversary actions, your own
systems and the environment.
• Orient: Consider your observations in the
context of everything you know including your
business objectives, strengths and
weaknesses.
• Decide: In dynamic situations the speed of
decision is critical.
• Act: Minimize the gap between decision and
action. The loop continues, now observe what
changes in the situation your actions caused

The
Threat
Unique
Tech
Factors
The
Situation
A great deal is known about who is attacking
and what their motivations are. By studying
them we can build better defenses before
attack and respond smarter during attack. Get
the right info for strategic, operational and
tactical decisions.
Every sector of the economy and every
government and every citizen is under almost
constant attack. Most suffer ongoing
infections with malware. Attackers get in fast
and remain undetected for months. But risk
can be reduced/mitigated.
Your
Action
Governments, businesses, homes, aircraft,
cars, roads, trains, ships increasingly
interconnected. But cyberspace is hard to
observe. Well instrumented systems overseen
by trained/experienced people are key to
defense.
Lead with understanding that cybersecurity
is not just a tech function. Must have
executive leadership and engagement by
entire team. Ensure external verification and
validation of strategy, policy, process and
tech.
Successful Attacks Are By Organizations Defenders Should Collaborate on Lessons
Ensure Tech is Independently Assessed Victory Must Be Earned
