Verizon analyzed 90 data breach cases in 2011 using the VERIS framework. The top three industries that lost the most data were information/manufacturing, financial, and accommodation/food services. Organization sizes ranged from under 100 to over 100,000 employees. External actors caused the most breaches, followed by internal and partners. Financial gain and hacktivism were the main motives. Hacking and malware caused 99% of data loss. Most breaches took months or years to discover, with external parties detecting over two-thirds.
Key Strategies to Address Rising Application Risk in Your EnterpriseLumension
The document discusses key strategies for organizations to address rising application risks, including ensuring endpoints are regularly patched and updated for both operating systems and applications, identifying and removing known malware from endpoints, and enforcing application use policies. Social networking applications were detected on 95% of organizations' networks and many applications have known vulnerabilities or can spread malware. Patching client-side applications has become the number one priority for most organizations to mitigate cybersecurity risks.
The document discusses two options for combatting cyberterrorism: technology and international relations. For technology, it argues that improving security through updated software, hiring skilled hackers for security teams, and continuous research on threats is needed to defend against technological attacks. For international relations, it proposes threatening to alter relationships with countries if they do not comply with demands to restrict hackers, end restrictions on internet freedom, and put public pressure on governments.

Microsoft has announced the BlueKeep vulnerability, a wormable Remote Desktop vulnerability that has a high potential of being exploited in legacy operating systems.
Be warned, this vulnerability can be exploited remotely with no authentication required. Protect yourself from what people are calling the next WannaCry.
According to a survey of 1,100 IT service providers, ransomware attacks have become increasingly common and frequent for small businesses. The majority of IT professionals report that ransomware incidents have increased in the last year, with over 40% experiencing 6 or more attacks against clients. CryptoLocker is the most prevalent ransomware variant affecting small businesses. While anti-virus software is commonly in place, ransomware has evolved to outsmart many existing defenses. The top recommendation from IT professionals is implementing backup and disaster recovery solutions to enable recovery from ransomware attacks.
1) Around half of organizations surveyed were hit by ransomware in the last year, with attacks encrypting data in around 3 out of 4 cases.
2) Most victims were able to recover their data through backups, but one in four paid the ransom. This doubled the overall costs of remediation.
3) Coverage for ransomware varies - around 20% of organizations have cybersecurity insurance that does not cover ransomware attacks.
The document discusses the history and evolution of ransomware attacks from 1989 to the present. It provides details on notable ransomware attacks like WannaCry in 2017 and NotPetya in 2017. WannaCry spread to over 150 countries and encrypted data on hundreds of thousands of computers, demanding ransom payments in bitcoin. It exploited a Windows vulnerability. NotPetya similarly spread rapidly through Ukraine and globally, affecting a major shipping company and causing over $10 billion in damages by encrypting and wiping data. The document outlines the modus operandi and impacts of these attacks as well as measures to prevent future ransomware infections like patching systems, isolating infected devices, and implementing security best practices.
Remote working has increased cyber security risks for organizations. Ransomware attacks targeting remote employees have increased over 283% during the pandemic. Many organizations were unprepared for securing remote access and lacked measures to prevent human error from leading to attacks. While some organizations implemented VPNs and two-factor authentication, many did not take security seriously working from home. Improving employee security awareness and using VPNs for all remote access can help organizations better prevent ransomware attacks in the future.

Editor's Notes
WE NEED TO IDENTIFY ATTACK VECTORS – Securing Services Better
Pemex’s SOC detected attack on November 10. They shutdown network access to prevent the spread. Claims to have restored most systems without disruption to fueling or supply chain. The latest development in a troubled time for Pemex, who is reeling from quarterly losses.
That’s 6,000 endpoints. How fast can you restore 6,000 workstations.
Messaging is critical. When you’re not transparent, when you don’t create talking points as part of your incident response plan – unfavorable news will leak, perhaps even rumors.
Journalists from Reuters contacted the threat group and traded information with the group.
Utilities asked residents to pay bills in cash after electronic payment systems went down. The city apparently had no incident response plan.
