Recent malware incidents have shown how costly and damaging cyber attacks can be.
The Stuxnet worm is believed to have significantly affected Iranian nuclear processing, and was widely considered to be the first operational cyber weapon1. Shamoon was able to compromise and incapacitate 30,000 work stations within an oil producing organisation2. Another targeted malware attack against a public corporation resulted in the company declaring a $66 million loss relating to the attack3. Such attacks may not necessarily be successful, but when attackers do find their way inside an organisation’s systems, a swift, well-prepared response
can quickly minimise damage and restore systems before significant harm
can be caused.
In order to prepare such a response, organisations must understand how attacks can progress, develop a counteractive strategy, decide who will carry out which actions and then practise and refine the plan.

Rethinking Cyber-Security: 7 Key Strategies for the Challenges that Lie AheadOpenDNS
Practice makes perfect. And unfortunately for security professionals, attackers have realized that persistence is a powerful approach to breaching an organization's defenses.
Focusing on prevention alone is no longer a sufficient strategy for securing your organization against the business risks of a breach. Our current security environment demands an approach less centered on ideal prevention and more focused on reality. During this webcast, we discussed key strategies that limit your risk and exposure to unrelenting threats.
Some highlighted topics include:
- How the shift in attacker motivations has impacted today's threat landscape
- Why preventative techniques alone can no longer ensure a secure environment
- Which strategies need to be considered for a holistic approach to security
- What next steps you can take towards identifying your best strategy against attacks
Derek Milroy, IS Security Architect at U.S. Cellular Corporation, defined “vulnerability management” and how it affects today’s organizations during his presentation at the 2014 Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) Leadership Forum in Chicago on Nov. 19. In his presentation, “Enterprise Vulnerability Management/Security Incident Response,” Milroy noted vulnerability management has different meanings to different organizations, but an organization that utilizes vulnerability management processes can effectively safeguard its data.
According to Milroy, an organization should develop its own vulnerability management baselines to monitor its security levels. By doing so, Milroy said an organization can launch and control vulnerability management systems successfully. In addition, Milroy pointed out that vulnerability management problems occasionally will arise, but a well-prepared organization will be equipped to handle such issues: “Problems are going to happen … You have to work with your people. This can translate to any tool that you’re putting in place. Make sure your people have plans for what happens when it goes wrong, because it’s going to [happen] every single time.”
Milroy also noted that having actionable vulnerability management data is important for organizations of all sizes. If an organization evaluates its vulnerability management processes regularly, Milroy said, it can collect data and use this information to improve its security: “The simplest rule of thumb for vulnerability management, click the report, hand the report to someone. Don’t ever do that. There is no such thing as a report from a tool that you can just click and hand to someone until you first tune it and pare it down.”

It’s impossible to prevent everything (we see examples of this in the press every week), so you must be prepared to respond. The sad fact is that you will be breached. Maybe not today or tomorrow, but it will happen. So response is more important than any specific control. But it’s horrifying how unsophisticated most organizations are about response.
This is compounded by the reality of an evolving attack space, which means even if you do incident response well today, it won’t be good enough for tomorrow.

Targeted Defense for Malware & Targeted AttacksImperva
Sophisticated attacks leverage social engineering techniques and malware to compromise those individuals already on the inside of your enterprise, and then steal your data. By targeting your trusted employees, attackers can circumvent conventional defenses like firewalls and IPS solutions to penetrate your network and compromise your data center. This presentation will examine why attackers looking to steal sensitive data targeted your data center; explain how targeted attacks, often using spear phishing and malware, consistently defy perimeter and endpoint defenses; and present an eight step incident response model to help prevent, detect, and respond to targeted attacks.
Understanding Malware Lateral Spread Used in High Value AttacksCyphort
APTs are known to use advanced Techniques, Tactics, and Procedures (TTP), including advanced malware design with protection layers, sandboxing evasion, and lateral movement inside penetrated networks to seek out high value targets. In this webinar, Nick Bilogorskiy of Cyphort Labs will review various lateral movement techniques and methods used by advanced threats in the past. He will look at some APT samples, e.g. Shamoon, in detail to show the specific steps in the lateral movement by the malware. Understanding the lateral movement of APT should help security defenders to better select and implement protection solutions.
Infosecurity Europe 2014 Case Study: Shamoon, a two stage targeted attackSeculert
In August of 2012, Shamoon, a new malware that was designed to attack Aramco, the Saudi Arabian national oil and natural gas company was discovered. In its wake, the Shamoon malware destroyed data on about 30,000 of Aramco’s computers and servers, and inflicted a massive amount of damage and chaos that is still reverberating today. From kill switch to wiper, join us for an in-depth exploration of this two stage targeted attack.
-Explore the mechanics of the two stage targeted attack known as Shamoon
-Understand why the attack was not prevented by traditional on-premises security solutions
-Understand through the Shamoon attack that 100% prevention is not possible
-Gain an introduction to the tools and solutions that detected Shamoon
-Further comprehend APTs and other advanced malware and how to protect your company from attacks like Shamoon
This presentation was given by Seculert Co-Founder and CEO Dudi Matot at Infosecurity Europe 2014.
This presentation talk about some of the challenges in detecting advanced malware which uses evasion techniques such as inline assembly or previously unknown approaches. The presentation also focuses on leveraging the static code analysis as an opportunity to detect these evasive malware in the sandbox
An incident response plan (IRP) is a set of written instructions for.pdfaradhana9856
An incident response plan (IRP) is a set of written instructions for detecting, responding to and
limiting the effects of an information security event.Incident response plans provide instructions
for responding to a number of potential scenarios, including data breaches, denial of
service/distributed denial of service attacks, firewall breaches, virus or malware outbreaks or
insider threats. Without an incident response plan in place, organizations may either not detect
the attack in the first place, or not follow proper protocol to contain the threat and recover from it
when a breach is detected.
According to the SANS Institute, there are six key phases of an incident response plan:
1. Preparation: Preparing users and IT staff to handle potential incidents should they should arise
2. Identification: Determining whether an event is indeed a security incident
3. Containment: Limiting the damage of the incident and isolating affected systems to prevent
further damage
4. Eradication: Finding the root cause of the incident, removing affected systems from the
production environment
5. Recovery: Permitting affected systems back into the production environment, ensuring no
threat remains
6. Lessons learned: Completing incident documentation, performing analysis to ultimately learn
from incident and potentially improve future response efforts
It is important that an incident response plan is formulated, supported throughout the
organization, and is regularly tested. A good incident response plan can minimize not only the
affects of the actual security breach, but it may also reduce the negative publicity.
From a security team perspective, it does not matter whether a breach occurs (as such
occurrences are an eventual part of doing business using an untrusted carrier network, such as the
Internet), but rather, when a breach occurs. Do not think of a system as weak and vulnerable; it is
important to realize that given enough time and resources, someone can break into even the most
security-hardened system or network. You do not need to look any further than the Security
Focus website at http://www.securityfocus.com/ for updated and detailed information concerning
recent security breaches and vulnerabilities, from the frequent defacement of corporate
webpages, to the 2002 attacks on the root DNS nameservers[1].
The positive aspect of realizing the inevitability of a system breach is that it allows the security
team to develop a course of action that minimizes any potential damage. Combining a course of
action with expertise allows the team to respond to adverse conditions in a formal and responsive
manner.
The incident response plan itself can be separated into four phases:
Immediate action to stop or minimize the incident
Investigation of the incident
Restoration of affected resources
Reporting the incident to the proper channels
Solution
An incident response plan (IRP) is a set of written instructions for detecting, responding to and
limiting the eff.

As an administrator, you are responsible. You are responsible for data that gets created, stored, transmitted, viewed, modified, deleted, and just about everything else that can be done with it. Because of this, not only must you enable it to exist, but you must protect it, authenticate it, secure it, and keep it in the form that complies with every applicable law, policy, and regulation. Counter to this are all of the dangers that can befall the data: it can be accidentally deleted, overwritten, stolen, and lost. These potential harms represent risks, and you must know the risks involved in working with data. You have to know and accept that data can be corrupted, it can be accessed by those who shouldn’t see it, values can be changed, and so on.
If you think that being armed with this knowledge is enough to drive you into taking the steps necessary to keep any harm from happening, however, you are sadly mistaken. One of the actions that administrators can be instructed to take by upper management regarding potential threats is to accept that they exist. If the cost of preventing a particular risk from becoming a reality exceeds the value of the harm t.

Understanding Globus Data Transfers with NetSageGlobus
NetSage is an open privacy-aware network measurement, analysis, and visualization service designed to help end-users visualize and reason about large data transfers. NetSage traditionally has used a combination of passive measurements, including SNMP and flow data, as well as active measurements, mainly perfSONAR, to provide longitudinal network performance data visualization. It has been deployed by dozens of networks world wide, and is supported domestically by the Engagement and Performance Operations Center (EPOC), NSF #2328479. We have recently expanded the NetSage data sources to include logs for Globus data transfers, following the same privacy-preserving approach as for Flow data. Using the logs for the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) as an example, this talk will walk through several different example use cases that NetSage can answer, including: Who is using Globus to share data with my institution, and what kind of performance are they able to achieve? How many transfers has Globus supported for us? Which sites are we sharing the most data with, and how is that changing over time? How is my site using Globus to move data internally, and what kind of performance do we see for those transfers? What percentage of data transfers at my institution used Globus, and how did the overall data transfer performance compare to the Globus users?

In this presentation, we'll explore a straightforward and effective method for quickly initiating inference runs on supercomputers using the vLLM tool with Globus Compute, specifically on the Polaris system at ALCF. We'll begin by briefly discussing the popularity and applications of LLMs in various fields. Following this, we will introduce the vLLM tool, and explain how it integrates with Globus Compute to efficiently manage LLM operations on Polaris. Attendees will learn the practical aspects of setting up and remotely triggering LLMs from local machines, focusing on ease of use and efficiency. This talk is ideal for researchers and practitioners looking to leverage the power of LLMs in their work, offering a clear guide to harnessing supercomputing resources for quick and effective LLM inference.
Enhancing Research Orchestration Capabilities at ORNL.pdfGlobus
Cross-facility research orchestration comes with ever-changing constraints regarding the availability and suitability of various compute and data resources. In short, a flexible data and processing fabric is needed to enable the dynamic redirection of data and compute tasks throughout the lifecycle of an experiment. In this talk, we illustrate how we easily leveraged Globus services to instrument the ACE research testbed at the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility with flexible data and task orchestration capabilities.
Providing Globus Services to Users of JASMIN for Environmental Data AnalysisGlobus
JASMIN is the UK’s high-performance data analysis platform for environmental science, operated by STFC on behalf of the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). In addition to its role in hosting the CEDA Archive (NERC’s long-term repository for climate, atmospheric science & Earth observation data in the UK), JASMIN provides a collaborative platform to a community of around 2,000 scientists in the UK and beyond, providing nearly 400 environmental science projects with working space, compute resources and tools to facilitate their work. High-performance data transfer into and out of JASMIN has always been a key feature, with many scientists bringing model outputs from supercomputers elsewhere in the UK, to analyse against observational or other model data in the CEDA Archive. A growing number of JASMIN users are now realising the benefits of using the Globus service to provide reliable and efficient data movement and other tasks in this and other contexts. Further use cases involve long-distance (intercontinental) transfers to and from JASMIN, and collecting results from a mobile atmospheric radar system, pushing data to JASMIN via a lightweight Globus deployment. We provide details of how Globus fits into our current infrastructure, our experience of the recent migration to GCSv5.4, and of our interest in developing use of the wider ecosystem of Globus services for the benefit of our user community.

2. Solution brief: implementing the right security strategy now
Introduction
Recent malware incidents have
shown how costly and damaging
cyber attacks can be.
The Stuxnet worm is believed to have significantly affected Iranian nuclear
processing, and was widely considered to be the first operational cyber
weapon1. Shamoon was able to compromise and incapacitate 30,000 work
stations within an oil producing organisation2. Another targeted malware
attack against a public corporation resulted in the company declaring a $66
million loss relating to the attack3.
Such attacks may not necessarily be successful, but when attackers do find
their way inside an organisation’s systems, a swift, well-prepared response
can quickly minimise damage and restore systems before significant harm
can be caused.
In order to prepare such a response, organisations must understand how
attacks can progress, develop a counteractive strategy, decide who will carry
out which actions and then practise and refine the plan.

3. Understanding attacks
An attack starts with a point of ingress to the organisation. This may be an
unsecured system that hackers are able to access, a vulnerable machine on
which malware is executed, or a user who has been duped into installing
malware. This point of ingress may then be exploited to spread attacks through
the network, either by hacking other systems or by using malware to exploit
unpatched system vulnerabilities and install itself on other systems.
Once a system is compromised, attackers may install further malware, or
take control of the system and send commands for execution. Attackers may
seek to exfiltrate information such as confidential files or usernames and
passwords held on the system.
Protecting against attacks
Most attacks can be defended against with the implementation of basic
information security practices. The Australian Department of Defence found
that implementing four mitigation strategies was sufficient to prevent 85%
of targeted attacks4. The British Government has advised that focusing on
ten key areas is sufficient to counteract most cyber threats5.
As a minimum, an organisation should ensure that network traffic and systems
are scanned for malware and that logs of system and network activity are kept,
to be used for forensic analysis if necessary. Additionally, regular backups are
vital to ensure that damaged systems can be restored to a normal working state.
Adequate information security defences reduce the likelihood of attacks
succeeding. However, behind every cyber attack headline is an organisation
that believed its defences were sufficient. Major incidents do occur and need
to be planned for, in order to reduce disruption to the business, minimise
harm and reduce the time required for recovery.

4. These actions may impact on users and services throughout the
organisation. Notably, they may effect how users, and indeed the response
team, usually communicate. Therefore, consideration needs to be given to
how communication will be maintained and how users and executives will
be kept up-to-date with the progress of incident resolution.
Forensic analysis should be used, not only to help identify if data has been
compromised, but also to assess how attackers initially penetrated the
systems. The vulnerability that was exploited to gain access needs to be
addressed as a priority to prevent the attack being repeated as soon as it has
been resolved. The collection and preservation of forensic information may
also help in identifying and prosecuting those responsible for the attack.
Solution brief: implementing the right security strategy now
Preparing for incidents
Organisations should expect sophisticated attacks to be launched against
their systems and prepare for this eventuality accordingly. In practice, such
attacks are rare. However, by keeping abreast of the latest attacks and
attacker techniques, organisations can verify that their systems are capable of
detecting and repelling such threats.
Attention to the preparation process ensures that when an attack occurs,
it is rapidly detected. Many identified incidents may be, on closer analysis,
false positives, and many will be minor and will not require a major response.
Nevertheless, organisations should be sure that they are capturing and recording
all incidents so that the attacks that do require attention are quickly identified
and escalated. To do this, it is important to determine the escalation criterion and
mechanism by which a detected incident will activate an incident plan.
The first step of the incident plan should be an assessment of the situation. This
should be followed by actions to prevent the attack from spreading to affect more
systems and to prevent further harm from being incurred. Systems that have been
infected will need isolating to contain the attack. Systems as yet uninfected may
need to be temporarily disabled to prevent the attack from spreading internally,
and network access may need to be curtailed.

5. The recovery phase involves restoring systems to their pre-infection state.
Access to recent backups of the affected systems can greatly facilitate
this process, providing they are free from malware. Care must be taken to
ensure that systems are restored to an infection-free state.
Each incident should be subsequently reviewed to identify which procedures
worked well, and where existing practices were lacking. The opportunity
should be taken to learn from the incident and improve procedures in order
to increase the security posture of the organisation.
Creating a response team
Every organisation needs not only a response plan, but also a team who
will implement it. So, a key factor for success will be the support of senior
management. Indeed, when an incident is evolving fast, the involvement
of a senior manager with the authority to approve whatever measures are
necessary to contain and resolve the incident may be vital for gaining a
speed advantage over the attackers.
Relevant stakeholders from departments that may be affected by an
incident will need to be included as part of the response team. However,
the greatest input to the team will be from the technical staff, who will
implement the plan and possess the skills to remediate damage.
Organisations shouldn’t feel that every position in the response team needs
to be filled by in-house staff. External expertise should be considered for the
specialist skills, and experience with similar incidents, that can be brought
to the team.
The composition of the team also needs to be regularly reviewed. Members
may be required to be on-call for extended periods of time and might
benefit from being rotated out of the incident team in order to rest. Equally,
exercises and testing could identify additional skills that need to be brought
into the team.

6. Testing the plan
Major attacks are rare events. The ideal outcome is that the incident plan
and the skills of the response team will never need to be put into action.
However, this brings risks of its own. Regularly testing the incident plan will
reveal areas of weakness and prevent skills from being forgotten through
lack of use.
Testing exercises may be paper-based, where the response to an evolving
attack and resolution of the incident is played out on a theoretical basis.
Or, such testing may be scheduled as a live exercise involving a team of
penetration testers that simulate how attackers may compromise systems.
Regular exercises ensure that team members are comfortable with their roles
and responsibilities. Testing a variety of different attack scenarios ensures
that procedures are both comprehensive and flexible enough to respond to
future attacks. Teams should adopt the model of: plan, do, check and act.
Plan Establish objectives, policies and procedures to meet the
requirements of the business.
Do Implement these policies and procedures.
Check Verify if these are effective at meeting objectives in practice.
Act Take action to modify plans according to experience gained to
refine and improve.

More focus, less risk.
