Countering the Advanced Persistent Threat Challenge with Deep DiscoveryTrend Micro
Targeted attacks and advanced persistent threats (APTs) are becoming the new norm of cyber security threats— encompassing organized, focused efforts that are custom-created to penetrate enterprises and government agencies for valuable data, trade secrets, and access to internal systems. We explore the anatomy of targeted attacks: the inner workings of the APT lifecycle, along with an in-depth overview of Trend Micro Deep Discovery advanced threat protection solution, and how it enables enterprise IT to adopt a custom defense strategy that modernizes its risk management program to defend against targeted attacks.
The Custom Defense Against Targeted AttacksTrend Micro
Advanced persistent threats (APTs) and targeted attacks have a proven ability to penetrate standard security defenses and remain undetected for months while siphoning valuable data or carrying out destructive actions. We review challenges faced by information security leaders, their options for dealing with attackers and how to a Custom Defense approach to deploy a comprehensive Detect—Analyze—Adapt—Respond lifecycle that enhances current security investments while providing new weapons to fight back against their attackers.
Cyber warfare is becoming an increasingly common method for nations to engage in conflict without direct military confrontation. As technology advances faster than international laws and regulations, cyber attacks present a new threat landscape. Nations are investing heavily in growing their cyber warfare capabilities due to concerns about vulnerabilities and a desire to gain strategic advantages over rivals. However, this cyber arms race risks escalating conflicts and reducing overall digital security.
Cyberwarfare involves politically motivated attacks on computer systems and networks. Many countries are engaging in cyber attacks and developing cyber weapons. A major cyber attack could significantly impact a country's economy and critical infrastructure by disrupting financial systems, communications, and other daily activities that rely on internet connectivity. Protecting against cyber threats will require increased security measures and international cooperation.
This document discusses how to educate users about cybersecurity threats and why they should care about security. It notes that users don't care about security now because they don't understand the threats. It provides examples of common threats like phishing, social engineering, and weak passwords. It suggests getting creative with education methods like using humor, real-life examples, and gamification. The goal is to approach users as people, not just teach technical details, and help them understand security impacts their personal and work lives. Measuring success includes getting feedback and encouraging questions to identify what users don't understand yet.
This document discusses the challenges of maintaining security and compliance. It notes that most breaches are opportunistic and avoidable through reasonable controls. It also discusses the business model of organized cybercrime and common attack methodologies. The document advocates for a security-first approach using log management, vulnerability scanning, and intrusion detection to help meet compliance requirements and detect security issues in a timely manner. Real-world examples are provided to illustrate how these technical controls can help investigate incidents and resolve audit findings.
Ransomware is Here: Fundamentals Everyone Needs to KnowJeremiah Grossman
If you’re an IT professional, you probably know at least the basics of ransomware. Instead of using malware or an exploit to exfiltrate PII from an enterprise, bad actors instead find valuable data and encrypt it. Unless you happen to have an NSA-caliber data center at your disposal to break the encryption, you must pay your attacker in cold, hard bitcoins—or else wave goodbye to your PII. Those assumptions aren’t wrong, but they also don’t tell the whole picture.
During this event we’ll discuss topics such as:
Why Ransomware is Exploding
The growth of ransomware, as opposed to garden-variety malware, is enormous. Hackers have found that they can directly monetize the data they encrypt, which eliminates the time-consuming process of selling stolen data on the Darknet. In addition, the use of ransomware requires little in the way of technical skill—because attackers don’t need to get root on a victim’s machine.
Who the Real Targets Are
Two years ago, the most newsworthy victims of ransomware were various police departments. This year, everyone is buzzing about hospitals. Is this a deliberate pattern? Probably not. Enterprises are so ill-prepared for ransomware that attackers have a green field to wreak havoc. Until the industry shapes up, bad actors will target ransomware indiscriminately.
Where Ransomware Stumbles
Although ransomware is nearly impossible to dislodge when employed correctly, you may be surprised to find that not all bad actors have the skill to do it. Even if ransomware targets your network, you may learn that your attackers have used extremely weak encryption—or that they’ve encrypted files that are entirely non-critical.
As far as ransomware is concerned, forewarned is forearmed. Once you know how attackers deliver ransomware, who they’re likely to attack, and the weaknesses in the ransomware deployment model, you’ll be able to understand how to protect your enterprise.
Snort is an open source intrusion detection and prevention system that uses rules written in its own language to inspect network traffic in real-time, detect anomalous activity, and generate alerts. It works by matching packets against signatures in its rules database to identify attacks and exploits, and can detect protocol anomalies, custom signatures, and payload analysis. Snort rules allow it to detect specific patterns in network traffic including payload signatures, TCP flags, and port numbers to identify malicious activity.
This document provides an overview of information security and penetration testing concepts. It begins by defining information as an important asset that needs protection, and discusses various forms information can take. It then defines information security as protecting information from threats in order to ensure business continuity and minimize risks. The document next discusses common terminology used in information security such as threats, vulnerabilities and risks. It concludes by briefly outlining the basic methodology for penetration testing, including planning, discovery, attack, and post-exploitation phases.
The document discusses whether spending money on information security protection is worthwhile. It notes that the annual information security market size in the EU is 15.5 billion euros, serving over 20 million companies and 200 million workers. While some question if the average spending of 750 euros per company and 70 euros per worker is too little or too much, the document argues information security spending can help organizations comply with regulations, protect against threats like hacking and data loss, and reduce risks and monetary losses from security incidents.
A comprehensive survey ransomware attacks prevention, monitoring and damage c...RSIS International
Ransomware is a type of malware that prevents or
restricts user from accessing their system, either by locking the
system's screen or by locking the users' files in the system unless
a ransom is paid. More modern ransomware families,
individually categorize as crypto-ransomware, encrypt certain
file types on infected systems and forces users to pay the ransom
through online payment methods to get a decrypt key. The
analysis shows that there has been a significant improvement in
encryption techniques used by ransomware. The careful analysis
of ransomware behavior can produce an effective detection
system that significantly reduces the amount of victim data loss.
The document summarizes two houses built in Pensacola, Florida - a "dogtrot house" and a "shotgun house". Both houses have inverted sloping gable roofs that function like large scuppers to efficiently shed water, and their ceiling shapes are designed based on the roof configuration. The dogtrot house is modeled after a traditional house type with an open passage, while the shotgun house relates to the longitudinal layout typical of that house type, but incorporates front and back porches like Charleston houses. The houses use traditional construction methods and materials to respond to the local climate and environment.

Insider Attacks: Theft of Intellectual and Proprietary DataLindsey Landolfi
The document summarizes insider threats and data theft by employees or contractors. It discusses how insiders pose a major security risk as they have legitimate access to internal networks and data. Several case studies are presented that resulted in large losses of sensitive data and intellectual property. Common motives for insider theft include financial gain, business advantage for a new employer, and espionage. The document also outlines various technical methods insiders could use to steal data, such as installing malware, exploiting system vulnerabilities, and physically copying files. Strong access controls, monitoring of employee behavior, and encryption of sensitive data are recommended to mitigate risks from malicious insiders.
The document discusses cyber crimes and IT risk management. It describes the nature of cyber crimes, highlighting that they can often be committed across jurisdictions without physical presence. It also outlines various types of cyber crimes and security challenges in India given its increasing reliance on technology. The document advocates implementing security systems and processes as well as following information security frameworks and standards to combat cyber crimes and manage IT risks.
The document summarizes the 2014 cyberattack on Sony Pictures that resulted in the theft of large amounts of sensitive data. It provides an overview of Sony as a company, describes how the attack occurred and what data was stolen, and analyzes the impact on data confidentiality, integrity and availability. It then lists and explains various security measures and tools that Sony could implement to prevent similar attacks in the future, such as encrypting passwords, limiting user privileges, implementing multi-factor authentication, and using security monitoring and analytics tools to detect anomalies. The document concludes that Sony needs to adopt best practices for security policies, procedures, user training, access controls and incident response to mitigate threats going forward.
Anonymous is a loosely organized international hacktivist group. A typical Anonymous attack involves recruiting hundreds of supporters online, using tools like LOIC to conduct DDoS attacks, and employing skilled hackers to find vulnerabilities using scanners. Targets have included government agencies, companies, and other organizations. Web application firewalls can help mitigate these attacks by detecting vulnerabilities, blocking DDoS traffic, and providing visibility into hacker activities.
Public Private Partnership - Combating CyberCrime by Mohamed Shihab - Advisor (Technical) IMPACT at c0c0n - International Cyber Security and Policing Conference http://is-ra.org/c0c0n/speakers.html
Today’s cyber criminals are more sophisticated, more agile and more aggressive than traditional security measures can protect against. One simply needs to open a news source today to find a headline on a new breach - Office of Management Personal, Sony, Target are just a few examples of note. The increase in attacks and breaches can be attributed to a variety of factors, not the least of which include: a rise in asymmetric threats, commoditization of threats/attacks and incomplete security strategies. By incorporating cyber threat analysis in your security strategy, however, you can better counter and mitigate these threats.
This document discusses understanding cyber attackers by examining their means and motivations. It outlines that modern attacks are often organized crimes for financial gain carried out by dedicated teams. Common roles in these operations include malware developers, distributors, and hosting providers. The document then provides a hypothetical example of how one could get involved, describing the business model, tools, and methods that could be used. It emphasizes that penetration testing can help defend networks by identifying vulnerabilities from an attacker's perspective. Key recommendations include limiting exposure, monitoring networks, educating users, and realizing that antivirus alone is not sufficient. Emerging threats on mobile devices are also highlighted.

espionage.87 Cyber espionage from China has been a serious problem since 1999.88
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

The document discusses advanced persistent threats and how traditional security methods are insufficient for dealing with them. It introduces Trend Micro's Deep Discovery and custom defense solutions, which use specialized threat detection, deep analysis, threat intelligence, and adaptive security updates to detect and block targeted attacks. This is done by monitoring networks for malicious content and communications, analyzing behaviors, and gaining insights to rapidly respond to and remediate threats.
The document discusses the need for a National Cyber Security Standard (NCSS) in the United States. It summarizes four major cyber attacks since 2013 on Target, Sony, and Anthem to illustrate the growing threat of cyber attacks and data breaches. These attacks showed vulnerabilities in security practices that could be addressed by an NCSS established by a National Cyber Security Organization. The attacks stole personal and financial data of millions of customers and demonstrated lax security standards and protocols.

The session was aimed to introduce recent threats targeting UN agencies and some potential recommendations to improve detection, investigation and understanding of these threats and their goals.
Cybercrime and network security involve protecting information and information systems from various online threats. These threats include malware writers who create viruses, worms, and trojans to damage networks; hackers who illegally access systems for challenges or other motivations; and phishers who try to steal personal information through deceptive emails. Malware spreads rapidly and can infect thousands of computers, while hackers may deface websites for personal satisfaction or political messages. Information security experts work to identify new viruses and educate the public on password safety to reduce vulnerabilities to these online threats.
Your computer contains evidence of any cyber crimes committed using that device.

Presentation from Novi Sad, Serbia, September 14, 2011
Recent years have seen a disturbing rise in violence, discrimination, and intolerance against Christian communities in various Islamic countries. This multifaceted challenge, deeply rooted in historical, social, and political animosities, demands urgent attention. Despite the escalating persecution, substantial support from the Western world remains lacking.
Christian persecution in Islamic countries has intensified, with alarming incidents of violence, discrimination, and intolerance. This article highlights recent attacks in Nigeria, Pakistan, Egypt, Iran, and Iraq, exposing the multifaceted challenges faced by Christian communities. Despite the severity of these atrocities, the Western world's response remains muted due to political, economic, and social considerations. The urgent need for international intervention is underscored, emphasizing that without substantial support, the future of Christianity in these regions is at grave risk.
