Challenges and Solution to Mitigate the cyber-attack on Critical Infrastruct...Abhishek Goel
SCADA systems control some of the most vital infrastructure in industrial and energy sectors, from oil and gas pipelines to nuclear facilities to water treatment plants.
Critical infrastructure is defined as the physical and IT assets, networks and services that if disrupted or destroyed would have a serious impact on the health, security, or economic wellbeing of citizens and the efficient functioning of a country’s government.
Computer security, cybersecurity or information technology security is the protection of computer systems and networks from the theft of or damage to their hardware, software, or electronic data, as well as from the disruption or misdirection of the services they provide
In computers and computer networks an attack is any attempt to expose, alter, disable, destroy, steal or gain unauthorized access to or make unauthorized use of an asset
A successful cyber attack on a plant’s Industrial Control Systems (ICS) can be catastrophic. It can impact the plant’s operations, finances, damage reputation and even threaten lives. A resilient cyber security programme is essential in order to mitigate against potential cyber attacks. To help ensure that your plant is fully prepared to defend against potential cyber attacks, we provide a range of ICS Cyber Security services, each customised for your plant’s unique requirements, based on the latest international cyber security standards and best practice. Pöyry is active in designing, assessing and supervising the implementation of ICS cyber security programmes to both operating and greenfield facilities.
Network security is a dynamic art, with dangers appearing as fast as black hats can exploit vulnerabilities. While there are basic “golden rules” which can make life difficult for the bad guys, it remains a challenge to keep networks secure. John Chambers, Executive Chairman of Cisco, famously said “there are two types of companies: those that have been hacked, and those who don’t know they have been hacked”. The question for most organizations isn’t if they’re going to be breached, but how quickly they can isolate and mitigate the threat. In this paper, we’ll examine best practices for effective cybersecurity – from both a proactive (access hardening) and reactive (threat isolation and mitigation) perspective. We’ll address how network automation can help minimize cyberattacks by closing vulnerability gaps and how it can improve incident response times in the event of a cyberthreat. Finally, we’ll lay a vision for continuous network security, to explore how machine-to-machine automation may deliver an auto-securing and self-healing network.

Key Content:
1. The threat landscape and how existing monitoring and response capabilities are ineffective in detecting and responding to advanced cyber attacks
2. Lifecycle and speed of an attack and how early detection can help in responding and managing losses
3. Blueprint for an effective (and vendor agnostic) Incident Management Program
If you have been tracking the Cyber Security News lately, one thing is for sure - Cyber Attacks are imminent and it is a matter of time when you will be the next one to come under an attack, if not already.
What Robert Mueller, Former Director of FBI said in RSA Conference in March 2012 is still very relevant.
"I am convinced that there are only two types of companies: those that have been hacked and those that will be. ” and what he says further makes it worse "And even they are converging into one category: companies that have been hacked and will be hacked again."
Cyber attacks are no more a work of lone warriors or a group of hackers but involve cyber crime syndicates, collaborating and pumping large amount of money, precision, knowledge, expertise and persistence. Their capabilities are equal if not better than state sponsors.
Data says that cyber security incidents affects all kinds of organizations - small, medium or large and across all industries - financial, telecom, utility, health care, education and more. Organizations fail to detect and respond to security incidents due to weak monitoring capabilities and lack of expertise, tools and procedures.
In this webinar we will look at the cause and effect of the problem, analyze preparedness and learn how you can better prepare, detect, respond and recover from cyber attacks.
Defense-through-Deception Network Security Model: Securing University Campus ...journalBEEI
Denial of Service (DOS) and (DDOS) Distributed Denial of Service attacks have become a major security threat to university campus network security since most of the students and teachers prepare online services such as enrolment, grading system, library etc. Therefore, the issue of network security has become a priority to university campus network management. Using online services in university network can be easily compromised. However, traditional security mechanisms approach such as Defense-In-Depth (DID) Model is outdated in today’s complex network and DID Model has been used as a primary cybersecurity defense model in the university campus network today. However, university administration should realize that Defense-In-Depth (DID) are playing an increasingly limited role in DOS/DDoS protection and this paper brings this fact to light. This paper presents that the Defense-In-Depth (DID) is not capable of defending complex and volatile DOS/DDOS attacks effectively. The test results were presented in this study in order to support our claim. The researchers established a Defense-In-Depth (DID) Network model at the Central Luzon State University and penetrated the Network System using DOS/DDOS attack to simulate the real network scenario. This paper also presents the new approach Defense-through-Deception network security model that improves the traditional passive protection by applying deception techniques to them that give insights into the limitations posed by the Defense-In-Depth (DID) Model. Furthermore, this model is designed to prevent an attacker who has already entered the network from doing damage.

Toward Continuous Cybersecurity With Network AutomationKen Flott
Network security is a dynamic art, with dangers appearing as
fast as black hats can exploit vulnerabilities. While there are
basic “golden rules” which can make life difficult for the bad
guys, it remains a challenge to keep networks secure. John
Chambers, Executive Chairman of Cisco, famously said “there
are two types of companies: those that have been hacked, and
those who don’t know they have been hacked”. The question
for most organizations isn’t if they’re going to be breached, but
how quickly they can isolate and mitigate the threat.
In this paper, we’ll examine best practices for effective
cybersecurity – from both a proactive (access hardening)
and reactive (threat isolation and mitigation) perspective.
We’ll address how network automation can help minimize
cyberattacks by closing vulnerability gaps and how it can
improve incident response times in the event of a cyberthreat.
Finally, we’ll lay a vision for continuous network security, to
explore how machine-to-machine automation may deliver an
auto-securing and self-healing network.

2. Your business is continuously confronted with different threats and multiple types of attacks,
both internal and external, which have great potential to cause disruption and damage to
your infrastructure, information, communication technologies and business applications.
Organizations that want to avoid negative business impact and reduce risk and exposure
must address challenges on various levels – while managing the costs and complexities of
securing their businesses.
Risk can present itself in operational challenges, network vulnerabilities and continuously
evolving cyberthreats. In order to reduce exposure to risk, it is critical to have an in-depth,
layered approach to predict, detect, alert and respond to threats that allow security-
impacting events to be anticipated and corrective action taken before they impact critical
business operations.
As cybersecurity threats grow in number and complexity, securing any business network
requires a unique combination of threat intelligence, global network visibility, a broad
portfolio of security services, and comprehensive 24/7 customer support to efficiently and
effectively manage risks to network and data assets.
PROTECTING
WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT TO YOU
The Web has opened the door to infinite business
opportunities for both your business and cybercriminals.
Today, the Web is critical for businesses, with companies
doing some or all of their business online, with websites
and numerous applications online or stored in the cloud …
all accessed via the Web. These applications are used on a
daily basis and critical to business operations for employees,
customers, partners and suppliers. However, with each
Web connection, you introduce another potential entry point
for infections and malicious infiltration. And without the
proper protections, you risk your company’s reputation, data
and finances.
The Web has become more complex and seems to change
every day, with the introduction of social media, interactive
webpages and the ever-growing number of collaboration
and business applications used on a daily basis. All of these
changes can increase the burden on your security staff
and IT professionals, making it crucial to choose the right
combination of protection for your company.

4. The end of premises-based security solutions is fast
approaching, as security ecosystems comprised of multiple
point solutions often check the compliance box. They, in
turn, create complex operating environments, require high
capital investment and introduce even more vulnerabilities.
With the ever-increasing volume and complexity of threats,
premises-based security architectures are becoming even
more challenging to manage (monitor, update etc.). And as
mobility, BYOD trends and cloud adoption take over, your
IT/security staff must change the way they think about
protecting your systems and data.
Migrating to a network-based security infrastructure
allows for multi-tiered security, providing protection
against today’s sophisticated attacks with simplified
management, limited operational costs and capital
investment. Don’t face the growing struggle alone – the
move to an outsourced model allows you to maintain control
while taking advantage of 24/7 monitoring and mitigation
via a global security operations center (SOC), staffed with
certified security specialists and backed by advanced
threat intelligence. Maintain the visibility and control your
business desires and ease the burden of managing it all
yourself with the predictive protection necessary in today’s
threat environment.

the fastest means to deploy advanced DDoS mitigation.
When under or threatened by an attack, you can protect
your business through a simple DNS change that redirects
Internet traffic to our global mitigation network for
cleansing through our network-based scrubbing center(s)..
-- Rapid mitigation against HTTP- or HTTPS-based
Web attacks
-- Provides the first layer of defense when under DDoS
attack
-- Easily protect individual customer domains
effectively with minimal changes
A GRE solution, on the other hand, provides effective
protection against network attacks for larger networks.
DDoS mitigation may also be implemented in an
‘Always-On’ or ‘On Demand’ mode through the use of the
generic route encapsulation (GRE) protocol. This involves
the creation of a virtual wire between your network and our
global mitigation network.
-- Protect against DDoS attacks on multiple service
types and protocols, not just HTTP and HTTPS, with
volumetric and application layer attack mitigation
(layers 3-7)
-- Full IP address protection
The Level 3SM
DDoS Mitigation solution provides protection
for customers with high-bandwidth requirements. This
may also be implemented as ‘Always On’ or ‘On Demand’
through direct physical connections from the customer
network to the Level 3 global DDoS mitigation network. It is
ideal for complex, distributed customer networks running
multiple applications in data center environments and
if you:
-- Are running existing Level 3®
MPLS/IP VPN services
at protected locations

Whether implementing DDoS mitigation through proxy,
GRE or direct solutions, Level 3 DDoS Mitigation provides
protection against all forms of DDoS traffic. These services
help ensure genuine traffic and users remain unaffected
during DDoS attacks, thereby ensuring your internet
connection(s), hosting environments and applications
remain up and running for better site availability and
business continuity,
In today’s threat environment, attacks are evolving in
form, complexity, volume, timing, and, more often than
not, they will hit your organization from multiple angles (at
multiple layers). It is essential to have a layered security
infrastructure with multiple safeguards for an in-depth
defense solution. DDoS mitigation should be looked at
as an enhancement or strengthening of your firewall and
intrusion detection/prevention services, as there is a major
distinction between firewall, intrusion detection/prevention
solutions and DDoS mitigation. While firewalls can protect
against attacks at Layer 3, they are not sufficient to protect
your network from most DDoS attacks. With attackers often
hitting with two-pronged attacks at both the network and
application layers, it is critical for you to have a complete
solution to ensure effective protection against Layer 7
application attacks.

Our network-based service consists of a completely
managed, network-based firewall that can be coupled with
other functions, such as intrusion detection and prevention,
Web content security, URL filtering, anti-virus protection
and spam blocking. The solution provides unprecedented
visibility and flexibility to cost-effectively mitigate threats that
could otherwise significantly compromise your business.
Layer one or more of these services with our Managed
Firewall Service:
Intrusion Detection and Prevention − Examine the payload of
traffic that is allowed to pass your firewall to help ensure there
are no hidden attacks and block direct compromise of your
network infrastructure.
Web Content − Create, manage and monitor content filtering
policies in order to block access to Websites based on
categories. Administer policy overrides based on user, group
or source IP address.
URL Filtering − Control your Internet access costs, boost
efficiency and protect against malware. Leverage cloud-
and site-based services to facilitate specific permission or
denial of URLs.
Anti-virus/Anti-spam Service − Block or tag unwanted email
and prevent unwanted files carrying viruses from entering
your network.

Content Security – Email and Web Protection
The proliferation of spam means more malware, fraud,
email attacks and other threats that need to be identified
and blocked. It is not sufficient for businesses to simply
secure their connections to applications and the Internet.
With the growth of Web-born malware and email threats
(phishing, spam, social engineering, malware payloads,
etc.), it is critical for you to have security for these avenues
of attack. This cannot be left up to the end users knowing
when to delete an email or not click a malicious link,
because they don’t know. In today’s business environment,
organizations are increasingly reliant on the Web and email
for communications and everyday business – and attackers
have taken notice.
It is too common for users to open unsolicited emails or
attachments, click on malicious links, or unknowingly visit
malicious sites or content on the Web. Your organization
needs to make sure that malicious sites/Web content,
emails and their attachments are filtered out or blocked.
Level 3 provides advanced protection against Web-born
malware with Web content and URL filtering to ensure
safe and productive Web usage, which is complemented
by our anti-virus and anti-spam filtering capabilities for
safe and secure email communications. Not only will
these services limit the amount of mail in your employees’
mailboxes, cutting down on spam and increasing
productivity, they will help filter out files/attachments
carrying viruses. In this day and age, you cannot simply
rely on “vigilant” or “knowledgeable” employees knowing
what to do with their email and while working on the Web.
