NetStandard CTO John Leek presents 20 Critical Security Controls for the Cloud at Interface Kansas City. This presentation is based on controls set forth by the SANS Institute. Learn more at http://www.netstandard.com.
AlienVault Threat Alerts are a simple yet powerful tool that comes built-in with Spiceworks. When a device on your network has been interacting with a known malicious host or suspicious IP, you’ll immediately get an alert in your feed and you’ll get an alert email.
PCI stands for “Payment Card Industry”. which is comprised of representatives from the major card brands (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, JCB etc.) who came together to set minimum security requirements for protecting cardholder data.
To achieve this, they wrote a framework of security controls known as the PCI DSS. They wrote a number of other directives but this is the main one that applies to the majority of businesses.
The PCI DSS consists of six goals, 12 requirements and 286 controls and must be implemented by any business that processes, stores or transmits credit or debit card holder data. The requirement for PCI DSS compliance is stated in your agreement with the bank that issues you a merchant identification. Your business is required to certify compliance to your bank upon achieving it and annually thereafter. The banks report your compliance to the PCI SCC and can issues fines for non-compliance.
PCI DSS Simplified: What You Need to KnowAlienVault
Maintaining, verifying, and demonstrating PCI DSS compliance is far from a trivial exercise. Those 12 requirements often translate into a lot of manual and labor-intensive tasks – chasing down discrepancies in asset inventory spreadsheets, removing false positives from network vulnerability assessment reports, and weeding through log data trying to make sense of it all. In fact, you may need to consult at least a dozen different tools for those dozen requirements.
Thankfully, there’s a simpler alternative. AlienVault Unified Security Management (USM) consolidates the five essential capabilities you need for PCI DSS compliance. As a nearly complete PCI compliance solution, AlienVault’s USM delivers the security visibility you need in a single pane-of-glass. And it solves more than the single purpose PCI DSS compliance software alternatives do. During this webcast, you will learn how to:
Achieve, demonstrate and maintain PCI DSS compliance
Consolidate and simplify SIEM, log management, vulnerability assessment, IDS, and file integrity monitoring in a single platform
Implement effective incident response with emerging threat intelligence
Plus, you'll see how quickly and easily you can simplify and accelerate PCI DSS compliance. Register Now to secure your spot.

Myths and realities of data security and compliance - Isaca Alanta - ulf matt...Ulf Mattsson
Myths & Realities of Data Security & Compliance - ISACA Atlanta - Ulf Mattsson Jul 22 2016.
Data breaches are on the rise. The constant threat of cyber attacks combined with the high cost and a shortage of skilled security engineers has put many companies at risk. There is a shift in cybersecurity investment and IT risk and security leaders must move from trying to prevent every threat and acknowledge that perfect protection is not achievable. PCI DSS 3.2 is out with an important update on data discovery and requirements to detect security control failures.
In this session, cybersecurity expert Ulf Mattsson will highlight current trends in the security landscape based on major industry report findings, and discuss how we should re-think our security approach.

Improve threat detection with hids and alien vault usmAlienVault
Host-based intrusion dection systems (HIDS) work by monitoring activity that is occurring internally on a host. HIDS look for unusual or nefarious activity by examining logs created by the operating system, looking for changes made to key system files, tracking installed software, and sometimes examining the network connections a host makes. AlienVault USM integrates HIDS with other key security controls to help you get the most out of HIDS, including:
Analyzing system behavior and configuration status to track user access and activity
Detecting system compromise, modification of critical configuration files (e.g. registry settings, /etc/passwd), common rootkits, and rogue processes
Correlating HIDS data with known IP reputation, vulnerability scans and more
Logging and reporting for PCI compliance
The State of Incident Response - INFOGRAPHICAlienVault
Incident Response (IR) teams are designed to detect, investigate and, when necessary, perform remediation in the event of a critical incident. The results of the 2015 SANS Incident Response Survey provides a picture of what IR teams are up against today—the types of attacks they see, what defenses they have in place to detect and respond to these threats, and their perceived effectiveness and obstacles to incident handling.
Some key challenges reported by responders to the survey were:
66% cited a skills shortage as being an impediment to effective IR:
54% cited budgetary shortages for tools and technology
45% noted lack of visibility into system or domain events
41% noted a lack of procedural reviews and practice
37% have trouble distinguishing malicious events from nonevents
Do these challenges sound familiar? Download the full survey to learn more about how other organizations are approaching incident response, along with best practices and advice. Visit http://ow.ly/R3Cr0

With malware accounting for at least 40% of all breaches, knowing how malware works can be an extremely valuable asset in your threat detection cache – especially for the incident responder. According to Verizon’s 2013 Data Breach Investigations Report, “Malware and hacking still rank as the most common [threat] actions”. In general, malware can range from being simple annoyances like pop-up advertising to causing serious damage like stealing passwords and data or infecting other machines on the network.
Malware is as old as software itself and although there are new types of malware constantly under development, they generally fall into a few broad categories. Check out this SlideShare to learn how malware works, and what we believe are the most common types of malware you should be prepared for.
By learning how malware works and recognizing its different types, you’ll understand:
- How they find their way into your network
- How attackers control them remotely
- How they use your systems for nefarious purposes
- And most importantly, the security controls you need to effectively defend against and detect malware infections. (Hint: you need more than antivirus!)

Alien vault sans cyber threat intelligenceAlienVault
Over the last several years, we have seen that attackers are innovating much faster than defenders are. This trend is steering many companies to look towards cyber threat intelligence (CTI) to help them navigate today’s threatening landscape. SANS conducted a survey this year to explore who is using cyber threat intelligence and how they are using it. The survey collected responses from 326 IT professionals working in a variety of industries, in all sizes and from many different regions. 69% of the respondents reported implementing CTI to some extent, with only 16% planning not to pursue CTI in their environments. Which side of this percentage do you fall into? The infographic below provides some of the key questions to ask when getting started with threat intelligence, along with data from the SANS survey to show you how others are using threat intelligence.

Demo how to detect ransomware with alien vault usm_ggAlienVault
By now you've probably heard about new ransomware threats like CryptoWall, which encrypts your data and demands payment to unlock it. These threats are delivered via malicious email attachments or websites, and once CryptoWall executes and connects to an external command and control server, it starts to encrypt files throughout your network. Therefore, spotting infections quickly can limit the damage.
Don’t fall victim to ransomware!
AlienVault USM uses several built-in security controls working in unison to detect ransomware like CryptoWall, usually as soon as it attempts to connect to the hackers’ command and control server. How does it all work? Join us for a live demo that will show how AlienVault USM detects these threats quickly, saving you valuable clean up time by limiting the damage from the attack.
You'll learn:
How AlienVault USM detects communications with the command and control server

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

2. What We’ll Discuss
• An overview of PCI DSS
• Common challenges in PCI DSS
compliance
• Questions to ask as you plan and prepare
• Core capabilities needed to demonstrate
compliance
• How to use AlienVault USM to simplify
compliance
3. PCI DSS Version 3.x
• All businesses that store, process or transmit payment
cardholder data must be PCI Compliant
• 3 steps for compliance
1. Assess
2. Remediate
3. Report
• Goal: Make payment security ‘business-as-usual’
4. PCI Compliance and Security
“In 10 years, of all companies
investigated by Verizon forensics
team following a breach, 0 were
found to have been fully PCI
compliant at the time of the breach”
Data from 2015 Verizon PCI Report
6. Poor Compliance When Breached
#10 - Track &
monitor all access to
network resources &
cardholder data
#7 - Restrict access
to cardholder data
by business need to
know
Source: Verizon 2014 PCI Compliance Report
7. Common Challenges
• Collecting relevant data on the state of your compliance
• Critical events
• Configuration status
• Documenting the state of your compliance
• Keep the auditor happy
• Maintaining compliance and making it part of “business as
usual”
8. Questions to Ask
• Where are your in-scope assets, how are they configured,
and how are they segmented from the rest of your network?
• Who accesses these resources (and When, Where, What
can they do, and How)?
• What are the vulnerabilities that are in your in-scope devices
– Apps, OS, etc?
• What constitutes your network baseline? What is considered
“normal” or “acceptable”?
14. Correlate
the data &
respond
Identify
systems &
applications
Document
vulnerable
assets
Find threats on
your network
Look for
unusual
behavior
What
functionality
do I need for
PCI DSS?
16. OTX + AlienVault Labs
Threat Intelligence powered by
Open Collaboration
17. PCI Compliance Reports in USM
Report Name PCI DSS Requirements
Admin Access to Systems 10.1-10.2 which focus on creating an audit trail of user
access to critical systems
Firewall Configuration Changes 1.1-1.3 which focus on firewalls and network device
configuration
Authentication with Default Credentials 2.x which focuses on the use of vendor-supplied default
credentials
All Antivirus Security Risk Events 5.1-5.2 which require anti-virus scanning with an up-to-
date anti-virus solution
Database Failed Logins 7.1-7.2 which focus on limiting access to PCI data to only
those who “need to know”
….plus 25 more!
18. Grouping In-Scope Assets
Built-in asset discovery provides
a dynamic inventory allowing
cardholder-related resources to
be identified and monitored for
unusual activity.
Custom dashboards focusing on
key assets highlights pertinent
data
19. Generating Tickets For Vulnerabilities
USM’s built-in software ticketing system
creates trouble tickets from vulnerability
scans and alarms.
These tickets specify who owns the
remediation, the status and descriptive
information.
The tickets also provide a historical record of
issues handled, as well as the capability to
transfer tickets, assign them to others and
push work to other groups
USM can also send email to an individual,
external ticketing system, or execute a script
as a result of a discovered vulnerability.
20. Identifying Assets with Vendor Supplied Passwords
As stated earlier, neglecting to change the
default password on ANY network device,
especially anything allowing access to
cardholder data is a terrible idea and
leaves a huge hole in your defenses.
USM is able to scan your assets for
vulnerabilities such as allowing access via
default passwords and generate reports on
the findings.
This data can be crucial when verifying
adherence to this practice to an auditor

Editor's Notes
Integrated approach to threat intel
Comprised of OTX (data from 140+ countries) and the independent research from our AlienVault Labs’ team
we’re analyzing over 500.000 malware samples per day
Users submitting an average of ~11 million per month (365,000 a day)
Updated every 30 minutes
the ability to quickly convert data into actionable information
So you can call out those truly significant events to help you prioritize your efforts
reduce the need for in-house expertise.
------
OTX derives its data from three primary sources: USM and OSSIM that systems that enable OTX sharing, external feeds from public researchers and partners, and the research from our alienvault
labs team.
- This data is automatically analyzed through a powerful discovery engine that is able to granularly analyze the nature of the threat, and a similarly powerful validation engine
that continually curates the database and certifies the validity of those threats.
Crowd-sourced information remains the core focus of OTX. OTX derives information from normalized an anonymous event logs: firewalls, content filters, ips/ids logs, etc. We receive approximately 17,000 contributions daily from over 140+ countries.
-I want to make something clear: OTX's information is anonymous and normalized. OTX does not analyze your data or do anything that would identify you,
we are solely focused on analyzing the nature of the threat jeopardizing your system.
OTX derives a significant amount of data from the security community. We work with public research institutions, government organizations, and private companies and partners to
share and analyze threat data. With over 50+ partners working with us on OTX, if you look around Blackhat you're likely to see some of our partners.
- AlienVault labs research is also a critical part of our analysis. Our labs team generates novel research on high profile threats, as well as instrumenting the automatic analysis for discovering
and certifying all threats coming from OTX partners and OSSIM and USM customers who opt in to share data.
Seed questions:
What are some of the areas you see a lot of customers failing at when the PCI report is run?
How do PCI requirements correlate with actual events that you are detecting?
How does your product keep up with changing PCI requirements?
