Detecting Threats: A Look at the Verizon DBIR and StealthWatchLancope, Inc.
A common theme in data breach investigations is the deficit between the time it takes an attacker to compromise a system and the time it takes for the defender to detect the attack. In many cases, victim organizations do not know they have been breached for weeks or months after the initial compromise, while attackers can gain access in a matter of minutes or hours.
The StealthWatch® System can drastically reduce the time to identify threats, giving security personnel a window of opportunity to mitigate an attack before valuable data is lost. This webinar will cover how StealthWatch quickly detects a variety of malicious activity, using threat information from the Verizon 2015 Data Breach Investigations Report as a backdrop.
Participants will learn how StealthWatch can quickly detect:
- Crimeware
- Insider threats
- Point-of-sale (POS) intrusions
- Cyber-espionage

VIPER Labs - VOIP Security - SANS SummitShah Sheikh
The document discusses penetration testing of VoIP networks. It describes a VoIP security research lab that investigates attack vectors against VoIP systems. When conducting internal VoIP assessments, the objectives are to understand the call requirements, VLAN configuration, and gain access to the voice VLAN to test for vulnerabilities. Sniffing tools can reveal the voice VLAN ID and credentials. VLAN hopping poses a risk if an attacker can access the voice VLAN from their PC. A case study found an attacker was able to hop VLANs in a hotel network and potentially monitor other guests' phone calls due to poor network segmentation. Proper firewalling of voice networks and limiting remote access to voice VLANs are important lessons learned.

Good Guys vs Bad Guys: Using Big Data to Counteract Advanced ThreatsZivaro Inc
The document discusses using big data analytics to counter advanced cyber threats. It notes that traditional security information and event management (SIEM) systems have limitations in detecting advanced threats due to incomplete data collection and inflexible analytics. A big data solution collects data from all possible sources, including network, endpoint, mobile and cloud systems. It then applies analytics to identify anomalous patterns that may indicate advanced threat activity based on factors like unusual user behavior, network connections, or changes from normal baselines. This helps security teams more effectively detect threats that can evade traditional defenses and are difficult to identify with signature-based tools alone.
Pivotal Data Lake Architecture & its role in security analyticsEMC

Similar to Save Your Network – Protecting Manufacturing Data from Deadly Breaches (20)
Network Security and Visibility through NetFlowLancope, Inc.
With the rise of disruptive forces such as cloud computing and mobile technology, the enterprise network has become larger and more complex than ever before. Meanwhile, sophisticated cyber-attackers are taking advantage of the expanded attack surface to gain access to internal networks and steal sensitive data.
Perimeter security is no longer enough to keep threat actors out, and organizations need to be able to detect and mitigate threats operating inside the network. NetFlow, a context-rich and common source of network traffic metadata, can be utilized for heightened visibility to identify attackers and accelerate incident response.
Join Richard Laval to discuss the security applications of NetFlow using StealthWatch. This session will cover:
- An overview of NetFlow, what it is, how it works, and how it benefits security
- Design, deployment, and operational best practices for NetFlow security monitoring
- How to best utilize NetFlow and identity services for security telemetry
- How to investigate and identify threats using statistical analysis of NetFlow telemetry
The idea of a more connected world is an exciting prospect. The proliferation of Internet-enabled cars, appliances, medical devices, thermostats, and so on has already changed the way we live and will only continue grow. Unfortunately, these devices are expanding an already large attack surface, and cybercriminals are eager to exploit them.
If we do not prepare for this influx of new, specialized devices on our networks, the Internet of Things (IoT) will leave gaping holes in our cybersecurity practices. But securing these many devices is a daunting task for even the bravest security professional.
Join Keith Wilson of Cisco Security for a webinar to discuss the security challenges related to IoT. Topics covered include:
-Why IoT devices can be difficult to secure
-Industries already affected by this trend such as health care, manufacturing, financial services and retail
-The various approaches to securing these devices
-How you can best keep IoT devices from becoming a security liability
While the current threat landscape is full of sophisticated and well-resourced adversaries, one of the most dangerous is the insider because they already have access to the sensitive data on your network.
According to a report from Forrester Research, nearly half of technology decision makers who experienced a data breach in the year studied reported that an internal incident was the source of their compromise.
Since firewalls and perimeter defenses are largely incapable of addressing insider threats, organizations must turn to internal network monitoring and analytics to identify threats based on their behavior.
Join us for a free webinar on the Five Signs You Have an Insider Threat to learn what to look for to protect your organization from this challenging attack type. The webinar will cover topics including:
- Insider threat prevalence
- Major signs of insider threat activity
- How to detect these signs
- How to identify an insider threat before they impact your organization
Intelligent Segmentation: Protecting the Enterprise with StealthWatch, Cisco ...Lancope, Inc.
Intelligent Segmentation: Protecting the Enterprise with StealthWatch, Cisco ISE and TrustSec
Recent breaches have demonstrated that insider threats and determined attackers are effectively able to operate on the network interior where they can wreak havoc on an organization. As a result, it has become necessary to implement security policies inside the network. This webinar describes a data intelligence-driven approach to dynamically segmenting the network to control threats and protect the enterprise through the use of NetFlow and Lancope’s StealthWatch® System in combination with Cisco ISE and TrustSec.
This webinar will cover:
• design and deployment scenarios
• use cases

The primary takeaway of this webinar is a methodology for leveraging StealthWatch to drive segmentation policies and control threats on the network interior.
The Seven Deadly Sins of Incident ResponseLancope, Inc.
According to a recent study from Cisco, organizations show high levels of confidence in their security policies; but when it comes to their ability to scope and contain compromises, their confidence drops significantly.
Such statistics demonstrate that organizations continue to struggle with incident response.
Join Lancope’s security researcher, Brandon Tansey, and 451 Research’s senior analyst, Javvad Malik, to learn how to avoid The Seven Deadly Sins of Incident Response, and what you can do to improve your organization’s security posture.
Sins include:
- Lack of visibility/not understanding your environment
- Inability to separate the signal from the noise
- Modeling use cases on defenses, not attackers
On today's increasingly militarized Internet, companies, non-profits, activists, and individual hackers are forced to melee with nation-state class adversaries. Just as one should never bring a knife to a gunfight, a network defender should not rely on tired maxims such as “perimeter defense” and “defense in depth”. Today’s adversaries are well past that. This webinar provides:
- Key insights into what we call the Library of Sparta - the collective written expertise codified into military doctrine. Hidden in plain sight, vast free libraries contain the time-tested wisdom of combat at the tactical, operational, and strategic levels.
- Better understanding on how adversaries will target your organization, and it will help you to employ military processes and strategies in your defensive operations.
- Provide you with new approaches and examples about how to translate and employ doctrinal concepts in your current operations.
SCADA Security: The Five Stages of Cyber GriefLancope, Inc.
Every time a new information technology finds its way into production, it seems as though we end up repeating the same process – security vulnerabilities will be discovered and disclosed in that technology, and users and vendors will deny that the risks are significant. Only after major attacks occur do we really start to see efforts to address the inherent risks in a systematic way.
We’re falling into this exact same trap again with Industrial Control and SCADA systems, but in this case the problem is worse, because the inherent nature of control systems prevents us from applying many of the strategies that have been used to protect other kinds of computer networks.
Join Lancope’s Director of Security Research, Tom Cross, for a look at the five stages of grief that organizations seem to pass through as they come to terms with security risks, and how far we’ve come regarding Industrial Control Systems.
Hear about:
The state of Control Systems security vulnerabilities
Attack activity that is prompting a change in perspective
The unique, long-term challenges associated with protecting SCADA networks
How anomaly detection can play a key role in protecting SCADA systems now
Signature detection of attacks requires an understanding of what is “bad” traffic. Unfortunately, advanced attackers are crafting innovative and persistent attacks that create a new brand of “bad” that has no signature. Today’s organizations must instead embrace more forward-thinking security measures such as behavioral analysis in order to identify threats that bypass conventional defenses.
Join this complimentary webinar to learn how real-world breaches over the last couple of years were detected by looking at traffic deviating from normal patterns via metadata/NetFlow analysis.
Discover how:
- Sophisticated attackers are bypassing conventional, signature-based security solutions
- NetFlow analysis can detect both known and unknown threats by identifying anomalous behaviors that could signify an attack
- Leveraging flow data can significantly improve threat detection, incident response and network forensics
Cisco CSIRT Case Study: Forensic Investigations with NetFlowLancope, Inc.
Cisco CSIRT uses NetFlow to collect 16 billion flows from Cisco’s 175TB of traffic observed daily. The data is used to monitor, investigate, and contain incidents using 3 key playbook “plays” each day.
Two leaders from Cisco's Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT) will review a real cyber incident and the resulting investigation leveraging NetFlow collected via the StealthWatch System.
Participants will learn how to use NetFlow and the StealthWatch System to:
Investigate top use cases: C&C discovery, data loss and DOS attacks
Gain contextual awareness of network activity
Accelerate incident response
Minimize costly outages and downtime from threats
Protect the evolving network infrastructure
Provide forensic evidence to prosecute adversaries
Protecting Financial Networks from Cyber CrimeLancope, Inc.
Financial services organizations are prime targets for cyber criminals. They must take extreme care to protect customer data, while also ensuring high levels of network availability to allow for 24/7 access to critical financial information. Additionally, industry consolidation has created large, heterogeneous network environments within large financial institutions, making it difficult to ensure that networks have the necessary visibility and protection to prevent a devastating security breach. By leveraging NetFlow from existing network infrastructure, financial services organizations can achieve comprehensive visibility across even the largest, most complex networks. The ability to quickly detect a wide range of potentially malicious activity helps prevent damaging data breaches and network disruptions. Attend this informational webinar, conducted by Lancope’s Director of Security Research, Tom Cross, to learn: How NetFlow can help quickly uncover both internal and external threats How pervasive network insight can accelerate incident response and forensic investigations How to substantially decrease enterprise risks
SCADA Security: The Five Stages of Cyber GriefLancope, Inc.
The document summarizes the five stages of grief experienced by organizations when they realize their critical infrastructure systems are connected to the internet and vulnerable to cyber attacks: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. It provides examples to illustrate why each stage occurs, such as discoveries of thousands of exposed SCADA and ICS devices online using tools like SHODAN, high-profile attacks like Stuxnet targeting critical infrastructure systems, and challenges of keeping outdated systems patched against emerging threats. The document argues organizations must ultimately accept the interconnected nature of systems and find new ways to design and manage critical infrastructure that are more secure and resilient to cyber attacks.
Reverse Engineering Malware: A look inside Operation TovarLancope, Inc.
Join us as we step through the reverse engineering of CryptoLocker, identifying important functionality and weaknesses. We'll demonstrate how we were able to use this information to help protect our customers months ago, the weaknesses that the Department of Justice took advantage of, and how you can do the same for other types of malware down the line.
Needs of a Modern Incident Response ProgramLancope, Inc.
The document discusses the needs of a modern incident response program. It notes that attackers have the advantage of asymmetry, as defenders must protect all vulnerabilities while attackers only need to find one. It argues that incident response programs need to move towards continuous monitoring and detection across all stages of an attack's kill chain, from reconnaissance to data exfiltration. This would allow defenders to detect and respond to threats earlier in the attack process.
The document discusses securing data centers from cyber threats. It describes how attacks have evolved from manual to mechanized to sophisticated human-led attacks. It advocates employing segmentation, threat defense and visibility measures like firewalls, IDS/IPS, and NetFlow. The Cisco Cyber Threat Defense solution places these tools at the access, aggregation and core layers, including the ASA firewall, Nexus switches, and StealthWatch for network monitoring and analytics. This provides visibility into network traffic across physical and virtual infrastructure to detect threats and policy violations.
This document discusses insider threats and strategies for detecting and preventing them. It outlines that while most breaches are caused by external attackers, insiders still cause significant damage in some cases. It describes the different types of insider threats and notes that prevention and detection require logs of network activity as well as a multidisciplinary approach. Specific tools like StealthWatch can provide network visibility and user identity integration to help identify suspicious insider behavior like data exfiltration or hoarding.
StealthWatch 6.5 is a significant release of the StealthWatch network monitoring software that features new security and flow analysis capabilities. It introduces an operational network and security intelligence dashboard for faster threat investigation. The release also includes user-defined threat criteria for more collaborative threat defense, an enhanced quick view of flow data, and integration with Palo Alto Networks firewalls for added context. StealthWatch Labs security updates provide detection of suspect and target data hoarding.

There are three ways Lancope detect things. For Signatures, Lancope augments this with our SLIC Threat Feed. Our StealthWatch Labs group of researchers work with external parties that define and develop URLs and IPs that are known to be bad, that you can put into your system and you can match those against every single conversation in your network, right. So it’s real-time, it’s ubiquitous across your enterprise, its high value.
Anomaly detection is our threshold-based alerting, so that when we drop in a system, we are going to create high concern index events on day one based on devices that exceed acceptable thresholds of noise. Within our behavior-based system, you have to have thresholds on both low-end and high-end because the behavior of a host will actually live in between those two areas. But what this means is, for super slow attackers that are doing actually very little traffic, those will alert below a threshold; and for very noisy volumetric-based DDoS attacks that are coming in via UDP floods, those actually become threshold-based alarms as well.
The behavior-based alarms come with the fact that we are building this learned baseline overtime. Minimum of seven days to create a baseline, expands out to 30 days, rolls overtime, most heavily weighted on the last couple weeks of activity. It is, this is where we are actually able to detect things like worm activity and worm propagation and beaconing hosts, things like data hoarding and data exfiltration. These are based on conditions, statistical conditions that we’ve learned about you as a user on your network.
You the customer have already invested early in signature based technology and it is not like that stuff is no longer effective, it is just that your adversary has advanced and so must you. Behavior and Anomaly detection methods address the problem of not knowing what you are looking for ahead of time as in your zero-day exploitation. Behavior based detection contain the threat and observe the behavior with an objective to dynamically build a blacklist – or a list of bad things; Anomaly detection leverages known good behavior or actions either as inherit to the protocols, statistically collected from the traffic, or asserted by the user; this whitelist or list of norms allow the detection to be based not on abnormalities but on the differences that make the difference.
The story of Lancope. We started in 2001 as a behavior-based IDS, founded by Professor Dr. John Copeland at Georgia Tech.
And Dr. Copeland spent all his time consuming ATM network traffic, building statistics off that traffic, and then the intellectual property that he patented was the ability to take those statistics and create algorithmic equations that began to tell us when change was occurring in those statistics that deviated to the point where a condition of threat was met.
StealthWatch originates from a Georgia Tech professor, who measured statistical change as an indicator of concern related to an algorithm that he had developed within our security market. Lancope launched this behavior-based IDS in 2001, and for the next four years that’s where we established our initial foothold in the market. Lancope quickly grew to a 50 person organization, raised $30 million and we were a hot startup.
What we ran into was the fight for SPAN space inside of the network at the time was really starting to get consumed by other technologies like IDS/IPS. As the company evolved, Lancope pioneered a new market with the consumption of telemetry data for security intelligence. When we reference telemetry, Lancope is actually talking about NetFlow data, which is a summarized flow data or telemetry source that comes directly from your Layer-3 routers and switches into our system. By applying our patented algorithms to this flow data, Lancope gives us the ability to give you really broad scalability to see and peer into areas of the network that you cannot affordably get access to today, that tends to be that LAN infrastructure. It tends to be those deep dark quarters of your data center, where you would never go and deploy a physical asset or a probe to get adequate visibility into it. Flow data does a really job of illuminating those pieces of the network.
This is a “day in the life of the operator” slide. It is the “without ISE +SIEM/TD integration” view. This scenario can be described as the “swivel chair problem” (as indicated by the circle arrows around the operator). As this slide builds out talk about how the security analyst is having to swivel his chair to 5 or more different operations screens across different IT systems to collect all the context needed to make sense of a security event that shows up on the SIEM/TD screen at the beginning of this slide.
Orange indicates systems that you can get info from but requires looking in a siloed system to get the info. Red indicates info that most IT systems don’t even possess in this use-cases, thus it is crucial information the security analyst just doesn’t have.
A key point in this slide is the last one…”how do I mitigate?”. This is a real issue for IT orgs, as mitigation generally means accessing several different systems, CLI-ing into switches, etc. It is manual, cumbersome and, as a result, often just doesn’t get done.
So the summary is the last build…have to look across many systems/screens and you’re still missing important contextual data (like device-type) and mitigation is complicated at-best or a non-starter to execute at worst.
And here is where it starts to get fun. The traffic that would be coming from anywhere in the world. It’s going to take multiple hops to get there and it’s going to come from disparate pieces of your organization. What Lancope lives and breathes is the ability to know every single host, record every conversation, understand a posture of the host that’s involved in those conversations, who is the client, who is the server, what is considered normal, and an ability to learn and show signs of deviation and detection related to changes in that host.
So the two core components of the StealthWatch product is 1) the detection component, which is the change or the behavioral impact that a host is going through and 2) the ability to store that for long periods of time. Cisco likes to tell you the story about APT1, and their ability to have multiple months worth of flow data that they could go back and run a query against IPs they knew were bad in the past, but were no longer considered bad. APT1 is the example they use.
The Chinese hacking group APT1, we were able to, when, when those IPs were posted, they were effectively useless at that point, but Cisco did have the ability to go back and run a query against the previous 100 days to see when and if any of the APT1 hosts had accessed the Cisco internal network. And if they had who did they talk to, how much data did they touch, how did they move, how did they enter, how did they leave?
So really, really useful information, especially when you look at the lifecycle of security, and how do we push that information we learn from a past event into the future, so that we can prevent it the next time it occurs. Lancope essentially creates this rich audit repository with detection posture in response of every conversation in your network.
