- Darktrace takes a fresh approach to cyber defense using advanced machine learning and mathematics rather than traditional perimeter-based security.
- Traditional security models that try to distinguish insiders from outsiders no longer work in today's globally connected networks, as threats are already inside networks and boundaries are impossible to define.
- An "immune system" approach that monitors subtle internal changes and behaviors is needed to detect emerging threats, rather than defining "bad" and trying to keep threats out. This embraces probability and understands what is happening inside complex information systems.
This document provides an overview of cyber security challenges for industrial control systems (ICS) and introduces Darktrace's Industrial Immune System as an innovative solution. The key points are:
1) ICS networks face growing threats as they increasingly connect to corporate IT networks and the internet, but existing defenses like firewalls are inadequate. Attacks have caused damage at facilities like power plants and a German steel mill.
2) Darktrace's system implements a real-time "immune system" that analyzes network behavior to establish a baseline and detect anomalies, allowing threats to be identified early before they cause disruption.
3) Unlike rule-based systems, Darktrace adapts over time and can detect "unknown unknown"

Symantec Webinar | How to Detect Targeted Ransomware with MITRE ATT&CKSymantec
Targeted ransomware attacks have grown significantly in recent years, targeting organizations specifically. These attacks spread to pre-selected organizations through methods like spear phishing and exploiting vulnerabilities. They encrypt files on multiple computers within an organization, demanding high ransom amounts from the few victims affected. The document discusses the growth of targeted ransomware gangs since 2017 and recommends defenses like backing up data, securing remote access points, and using PowerShell monitoring to help detect these threats.
Recent ransomware cyberattack on a major oil pipeline caused gas prices to surge and gas stations in multiple states to experience shortages due to a several-day outage resulting from the attack.
Patents are a good information resource for obtaining the state of the art of AI technology innovations for defending against the ransomware attacks. Patent information can provide many valuable insights that can be exploited for developing and implementing new technologies. Patents can also be exploited to identify new product/service development opportunities.
The Cisco 2016 Annual Security Report highlights several major developments in cybersecurity:
1) Cisco helped sideline the largest Angler exploit kit operation in the US that was targeting 90,000 victims per day and generating tens of millions annually for threat actors.
2) Cisco and Level 3 Threat Research Labs significantly weakened one of the largest DDoS botnets ever observed called SSHPsychos (Group 93).
3) Malicious browser extensions are a major source of data leakage, affecting over 85% of organizations studied.
As cybercriminals increasingly profit from brazen attacks, your cyber-risk strategy is under the microscope. With the Cisco 2016 Annual Security Report, which analyzes advances by security industry and criminals, see how your peers assess security preparedness in their organizations and gain insights into where to strengthen your defenses.

IT security in 2021: Why Ransomware Is Still The Biggest ThreatETech 7
Ransomware attacks continued to be a major threat in 2020 and will likely remain so in 2021. Ransomware encrypts users' files and demands ransom payments for the keys to decrypt them. It often infects systems through malicious attachments or links. Signs of infection include inability to access files, browser redirection, pop-ups, and crashes. Businesses can help prevent ransomware through employee education, backups, updated software/antivirus, disaster recovery plans, and managed security services.

The document discusses the concept of "secure pipes", which refers to internet service providers integrating security functions directly into their network infrastructure to filter traffic before it reaches customers. This represents a paradigm shift from the traditional approach where customers were responsible for security after receiving traffic. Secure pipes involve three stages: 1) Filtering to block known bad traffic using signatures, 2) Exposing unknown malicious content through advanced analytics, and 3) Predicting future attacks by analyzing digital breadcrumbs from reconnaissance activities. The key benefits are applying security at internet speeds, gaining visibility from millions of endpoints, and allowing security teams to focus on more sophisticated threats.

Kaspersky Lab’s Webinar ‘Emerging Threats in the APT World: Predictions for 2...Kaspersky
For several years now, Kaspersky Lab’s Global Research and Analysis Team (GReAT) has been monitoring more than 60 threat actors responsible for cyber-attacks worldwide. By closely observing these organizations, which appear to be fluent in many languages, including Russian, Chinese, German, Spanish, Arabic and Persian, we have put together a list of what seem to be the emerging threats in the APT world. We think these will play an important role in 2015 and deserve special attention. As a participant of the webinar, you will be the first to hear our detailed analysis of the trends.
The webinar was hosted by Costin Raiu, Director of GReAT at Kaspersky Lab, on December 11.
“If we can call 2014‘sophisticated’, then the word for 2015 will be ‘elusive’. We believe that APT groups will evolve to become stealthier and sneakier, in order to better avoid exposure. This year we’ve already discovered APT players using several zero-days, and we’ve observed new persistence and stealth techniques. We have used this to develop and deploy several new defense mechanisms for our users,” comments Costin Raiu.

Who is responsible for security in the enterprise? Every company takes a different approach, but in many cases, accountability and authority do not reside in the same role. When this happens, it’s hard to tell who is responsible for securing digital assets. No wonder executives are worried.
Defending Against Advanced Threats-Addressing the Cyber Kill Chain_FINALMichael Bunn
Organizations must address the Cyber Kill Chain to defend against advanced threats. The Cyber Kill Chain describes the 7 stages of an attack - reconnaissance, weaponization, delivery, exploitation, installation, command and control, and actions on targets. Traditionally, organizations focused on prevention at the perimeter, but attackers have bypassed these defenses. To improve security, organizations should detect, deny, disrupt, and recover at each stage of the Cyber Kill Chain rather than solely focusing on prevention. This involves technologies like network monitoring, endpoint protection, and threat intelligence across all phases of an attack.
This document introduces the need for a new security model to address the full attack continuum - before, during, and after attacks. Traditional security methods relying on detection and blocking are no longer adequate against modern threats. The threat landscape has evolved to include sophisticated, well-funded attackers employing techniques like zero-days, advanced persistent threats, and industrialized hacking for profit. Additionally, new business models and the growth of the Internet of Everything have expanded networks and attack surfaces. A new security model is needed to provide comprehensive visibility and protection across changing IT infrastructures and against evolving threats.
This volume of the Microsoft Security Intelligence Report focuses on the first and second quarters of 2016, with trend data for the last several quarters presented on a quarterly basis. Because vulnerability disclosures can be highly inconsistent from quarter to quarter and often occur disproportionately at certain times of the year, statistics about vulnerability disclosures are presented on a half-yearly basis
This document provides a summary of the top 10 findings from Microsoft's 2016 Trends in Cybersecurity report. Key findings include:
- 41.8% of all vulnerability disclosures were rated as highly severe, a 3-year high risk level.
- Encounters with exploits of the Java programming language are on the decline likely due to changes in how web browsers handle Java applets.
- Consumer computers encounter malware at twice the rate of enterprise computers likely due to stronger security protections in business networks.
- Locations with the highest malware infection rates were Mongolia, Libya, Palestinian territories, Iraq and Pakistan.

India's manufacturing sector contributed around 15% to GDP in recent years, below China's 34% contribution. India accounts for only 1.8% of world manufacturing output compared to China's 13.7%. Key sectors in Indian manufacturing include gems and jewelry, textiles, food processing, chemicals, and IT hardware. The government has implemented special economic zones, liberalized foreign investment policies, and developed industrial corridors to boost manufacturing. Initiatives also aim to increase employment in manufacturing by focusing on small businesses, skills training, and improving productivity.
By 2015, there will be nearly 15 billion network-connected devices as more people use smartphones and other mobile devices for work. While IT departments see benefits to embracing the BYOD trend, there are also security challenges to allowing personal devices on business networks. Nearly half of employees with personal devices for work have let others use their devices, potentially exposing companies' data. The document advocates that businesses get prepared for BYOD through security measures and policies to handle the risks of mobile devices in the workplace.
Talking to elderly parents about home careTracy Steel
The document discusses how to approach elderly parents about the possibility of home care support. It suggests bringing up the topic when everyone is relaxed to have a sensitive discussion of their concerns and wishes. Explaining that home care is intended to support independence and prevent future crises, not take over their lives, can help alleviate fears. Seeking help early, even just a few hours a week, can prevent later health problems requiring hospitalization.
Technology integration means more than just teaching computer skills, it should support four key components of learning: active engagement, participation in groups, frequent interaction and feedback, and connections to real world experts. Effective technology integration occurs when technology use is routine, transparent, and supports curriculum goals. Technology integration can engage students through projects that challenge them intellectually and expose them to modern workplace skills, while allowing teachers to take on advisory roles and coaches.
La autora expresa su agradecimiento a su padre por siempre estar ahí para ella cuando se siente triste, respetar su forma de vestir y de ser, dejarla ser ella misma y divertirse como quiere, respetar sus espacios e interesarse por lo que le pasa, hacerla sentir que puede lograr grandes cosas, demostrarle que aunque se equivoque puede levantarse y seguir adelante, enseñarle que el amor la hace una mejor persona y aunque no siempre haya estado presente, saber que donde quiera que esté la protege y cuida mucho.
The economic impact of cybercrime and cyber espionageBee_Ware
The document discusses estimating the economic costs of cybercrime and cyber espionage. It identifies six components that contribute to these costs: loss of intellectual property, direct financial losses from cybercrime, loss of sensitive business information, opportunity costs from disruptions and security spending, reputational damage, and additional costs of securing networks and recovering from attacks. Previous estimates of total annual global losses vary widely from billions to hundreds of billions due to data limitations. The document attempts to break down cost components and uses analogies to other crimes to estimate a range of probable total global costs in the hundreds of billions of dollars annually, which would be a fraction of a percent of global GDP. It emphasizes further analysis is needed on the full effects on trade,

This document provides an overview of the growth of India's electricity sector from 1947 to 2011. It details the expansion of installed generation capacity from 1362 MW in 1947 to over 173626 MW in 2011 through various 5-year plans. Transmission infrastructure including transmission lines above and below 66kV has also grown substantially. The number of electrified villages has increased from around 1500 in 1947 to over 537947 in 2011, providing access to 90.6% of India's total villages. Per capita electricity consumption has also risen steadily over the years. The document presents statistics on sector-wise growth patterns in generation capacity and includes charts, graphs, tables and maps depicting historical trends in the development of India's power sector.
This report provides an overview of global compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) based on hundreds of assessments conducted between 2011-2013. The key findings are that only around 11% of companies assessed were fully compliant with all 12 PCI DSS requirements, and the report identifies areas where organizations commonly struggle with compliance. It recommends that organizations view PCI compliance as an ongoing process that requires executive sponsorship and should be part of wider governance, risk, and compliance efforts.
Botnets have grown larger, more resilient, and better camouflaged. They are finding new ways to generate revenue through ransomware and bitcoin mining. Android malware is also evolving, with threats becoming more sophisticated at avoiding detection and removal. While no single Android malware is dominant, the most widespread is Andr/BBridge-A, which has demonstrated longevity since first being detected in 2012. There are some signs of progress, such as Google improving Android security and the arrest of an exploit kit author, but threats continue advancing techniques.
This document summarizes key trends seen in malware and security threats in 2013 according to a security threat report from Sophos. Some of the main trends discussed include botnets growing larger and more stealthy through the use of techniques like decentralized command and control and hiding in the dark web. Android malware also evolved to be more sophisticated at avoiding detection. Ransomware, including the widespread Cryptolocker variant, emerged as a growing threat delivered by botnets.
MIST Effective Masquerade Attack Detection in the CloudKumar Goud
Abstract: Cloud computing promises to significantly change the way we use computers and access and store our personal and business information. With these new computing and communications paradigms arise new data security challenges. Existing data protection mechanisms such as encryption have failed in preventing data theft attacks, especially those perpetrated by an insider to the cloud provider. We propose a different approach for securing data in the cloud using offensive decoy technology. We monitor data access in the cloud and detect abnormal data access patterns. When unauthorized access is suspected and then verified using challenge questions, we launch a disinformation attack by returning large amounts of decoy information to the attacker. This protects against the misuse of the user’s real data. Experiments conducted in a local file setting provide evidence that this approach may provide unprecedented levels of user data security in a Cloud environment.
Keywords: Mist, Insider data stealing, Bait information, Lure Files, Validating user
The document discusses cloud computing security. It outlines 12 major threats to cloud security according to the Cloud Security Alliance, including data breaches, compromised credentials, and denial of service attacks. It also describes security responsibilities for both cloud providers and customers. Effective security requires strong authentication, encryption, logging, vulnerability management, and defining security architectures tailored to the specific cloud platform. With proper precautions, customers can benefit from cloud computing while maintaining adequate security.

Hat tip to Jordan Bowen for writing most of this.
The document is a whitepaper that provides an overview of DeepGuard, a Host-based Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) from WithSecure. It discusses security challenges in today's digital world like high volumes of malware and exploits. It then describes DeepGuard's multi-layered approach using file reputation analysis, behavioral analysis, and communication with a Security Cloud. DeepGuard performs checks when programs launch and while they run to identify and block potentially harmful behaviors.
Gartner predicted that by the end of 2019, 90% of enterprise internet connections would be secured by next-generation firewalls. The document outlines key requirements for next-generation firewalls including identifying applications regardless of port or encryption, identifying users regardless of device or IP address, decrypting encrypted traffic, and protecting against known and unknown threats in real time with predictable multi-gigabit throughput. It discusses the need to close dangerous policy gaps left by legacy firewalls and the evolution of threats that exploit encryption to avoid detection.
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.

A general security rule is that if an individual can physically touch a device, the individual can more easily break into the device.
Advantages of Cloud Providers with Respect to Security
Immediate deployment of software patches
Extended human-relations reach
Hardware and software redundancy
Timeliness of incident response
Specialists instead of personnel
Disadvantages of Cloud-Based Security
Country or jurisdiction issues

McAfee now offers a range of security solutions that deploy from the cloud. The solutions protect e-mail (spam, phishing, redirection, and virus elimination), websites, desktop computers, mobile devices, and more.
Data Storage Wiping
Within a cloud-based disk storage facility, file wiping overwrites a file’s previous contents when the file is deleted.
Denial of Service Attacks
A denial-of-service attack is a hacker attack on a site, the goal of which is to consume system resources so that the resources cannot be used by the site’s users.
The motivation for and the implementation of denial-of-service attacks differ.
Simple Denial of Service

It then defines network security and data protection, and discusses various technical and organizational strategies that can help improve security, such as firewalls, antivirus software, access control, encryption protocols like WPA2, and employee training. The document emphasizes adopting a holistic, next-generation approach to endpoint security to effectively combat modern cyber threats.
The document discusses security challenges faced by banks and recommendations to address them. It covers various types of cyber attacks targeting banks like network intrusions, denial of service attacks, and theft of personal data. Common attackers are identified as state-sponsored actors, criminals, and hacktivists. The document also discusses how insiders have exploited vulnerabilities in bank systems for financial gains in many cases. Recommendations provided to strengthen bank security include adopting controls like regular software updates, strong passwords, employee training, and fraud monitoring services.
Five Reasons Why You Need Cloud Investigation & Response AutomationChristopher Doman
With more than 60% of corporate data currently stored in the cloud, cloud computing has influenced a true renaissance in how we manage and deliver applications and services. The appeal of migrating to the cloud is clear – greater speed, agility, flexibility, cost savings, and more. However, digital transformation also poses new security challenges -- especially when it comes to forensics and incident response.
This white paper covers five reasons why you need Cloud Investigation and Response Automation to ensure your organization is equipped to efficiently understand and respond to cloud threats.
Developers are there, attackers are there, you need to be there too!
Cloud experts are hard to find
Risk escalates at cloud speed
Multi-cloud is on the rise
Ephemeral means data

The document describes how Cisco collaborated with other security companies to identify and shut down a major Angler exploit kit operation that was targeting 90,000 victims per day and generating tens of millions of dollars annually through ransomware attacks. By working with the hosting provider Limestone Networks, Cisco was able to determine that most of the Angler traffic was coming from a small number of Limestone and Hetzner servers, and helped get those servers taken offline to cripple the ransomware campaign. The success highlights the importance of industry collaboration to combat sophisticated cybercriminal operations.
Les francais et la protection des données personnellesBee_Ware
Cette enquête de l’institut CSA fournit un état des lieux des préoccupations liées à la protection des données personnelles en France. Réalisée auprès de plus de 1000 personnes, cette étude met en évidence la prise de conscience des français face aux risques d’usurpation d’identité ou de vol de données sensibles.
This document summarizes DDoS threat trends from 2013 to early 2014 based on attacks seen by Incapsula. Key findings include:
- 81% of network attacks in the last 90 days used multiple vectors simultaneously, with over a third employing 3 or more vectors. This multi-vector approach allows attackers to bypass defenses.
- Large SYN floods combined with regular SYN floods ("SYN combo attacks") accounted for around 75% of large-scale network attacks above 20Gbps.
- NTP amplification attacks increased significantly in early 2014 and became the most common vector for large attacks in February 2014.
- Application layer attacks increased 240% from 2013, with over half originating from India, China, and Iran
Top ten big data security and privacy challengesBee_Ware
The document discusses the top 10 security and privacy challenges of big data. It begins by explaining how big data has expanded through streaming cloud technology, rendering traditional security mechanisms inadequate. It then outlines a 3-step process used to identify the top 10 challenges: 1) interviewing CSA members and reviewing trade journals to draft an initial list, 2) studying published solutions, and 3) characterizing remaining problems as challenges if solutions did not adequately address problem scenarios. The top 10 challenges are then grouped into 4 aspects: infrastructure security, data privacy, data management, and integrity and reactive security. The first challenge discussed in detail is securing computations in distributed programming frameworks.

1) The document discusses a European consumer survey on attitudes toward biometric technology, which authenticates people using physical characteristics like fingerprints, face, iris, and veins. 2) The majority of citizens across European countries support using biometrics to identify criminals and authenticate identity cards/passports. 3) However, fewer than half of European citizens favor replacing bank PIN numbers with biometrics due to privacy concerns over this highly innovative technology.
This document summarizes the findings of a study on managing complexity in identity and access management (IAM) conducted by Ponemon Institute. Some key findings:
1) Most organizations find their IAM processes overly complex and difficult to manage, with over 300 information resources and 1200 access requests per month on average.
2) Respondents believe access changes are not fulfilled in a timely manner, access requests are not always verified against policies, and IAM policies are not strictly enforced.
3) The costs of IAM failures are estimated at $105 million annually on average due to lost productivity, revenue, and technical support costs.
4) Growth of unstructured data, mobile devices, regulations,

The 2013 Cost of Data Breach Study: France found that the average cost of a data breach in France increased from €122 per lost or stolen record in 2011 to €127 per record in 2012. The total average organizational cost of a data breach also rose over this period, from €2.55 million to €2.86 million. Malicious attacks were the most common cause of breaches, accounting for 42% of cases. Lost business costs, which include customer churn, increased sharply from €0.78 million in 2011 to €1.19 million in 2012. Certain organizational factors like having an incident response plan in place were found to lower the costs of a breach.

The meet-up will be hosted by Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), a research university specializing in engineering science & technology.
Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.

Security
Predictions
Advanced malware volume will decrease.
A major data-destruction attack will happen.
Attackers will be more interested in cloud data
than your network.
Redkit, Neutrino and other exploit kits will struggle
for power in the wake of the Blackhole author arrest.
Java will remain highly exploitable and highly
exploited — with expanded repercussions.
Attackers will increasingly lure executives and compromise organizations via professional social networks.
Cybercriminals will target the weakest links in
the “data-exchange chain.”
Mistakes will be made in “offensive” security
due to misattribution of an attack’s source.
Every fall, Websense® Security Labs™ researchers predict
the key threats your organization should prepare for in the
coming year. They arrive at their predictions after carefully
analyzing data from a number of sources. These include the
core Websense technologies and security intelligence that
informs our industry-leading security solutions, as well as
trends in cyberthreats, technology, politics, economics
and more.
The following eight predictions and recommendations
indicate cybersecurity professionals are in for another
bumpy ride in 2014. Some of the biggest challenges will
come from areas where most security providers aren’t
even looking. You can use these insights to review current
defenses, identify security gaps and prepare new safeguards.
3. 1
Advanced malware volume will decrease.
It probably sounds surprising to hear this from a cybersecurity company, but
according to the real-time telemetry feeds in Websense ThreatSeeker® Intelligence
Cloud, the quantity of new malware is beginning to decline. Unfortunately, this isn’t
good news.
Cybercriminals will rely less on high-volume advanced malware because over time
it runs a higher risk of detection. They will instead use lower volume, more targeted
attacks to secure a foothold, steal user credentials and move unilaterally throughout
infiltrated networks. Although the volume of attacks will decrease, the risk is even
greater because of the increasingly stealthy nature of threats. In many cases, a single
entry point into an organization’s network is enough to build up to a complex data
exfiltration attack.
Further, if cybercriminals steal user credentials, they can directly access cloud
services and mobility infrastructure (e.g., VPN or RDP). This access would allow
criminals to establish a presence by creating new domain-level user accounts,
without resorting to massive malware distribution.
Recommendation
Organizations can’t rely on anti-virus (AV), firewalls or other traditional security
measures to save their networks. Security teams need a comprehensive security
solution that not only detects malware activity, but goes a step further by detecting
and protecting against anomalous activity. It’s time to transform security thinking
from “setting and forgetting” to using technology that can stop threats by analyzing
irregular behavior and sleuthing through the data. Stopping the most advanced,
targeted attacks requires amplified information collecting that investigates threat
behavior in real time.
4. 2
A major data-destruction attack will happen.
Most attackers historically used a network breach to steal information for profit.
In 2014, organizations need to be concerned about nation-states and cybercriminals
using a breach to destroy data. Ransomware — where cybercriminals hold corporate
data hostage and demand a ransom be paid in exchange for its release — will play
a part in this trend. In fact, the 2013 resurgence of CryptoLocker demonstrated how
one small piece of malware, on a single computer, can hold an entire organization
hostage by locking out network drives. This and other ransomware campaigns
were just the tip of the iceberg. We expect this trend to move down market,
affecting small- and medium-sized organizations.
The monetary gain for ransomware can prove to be extreme, hence the continued
motivation to employ this attack strategy. Unfortunately there is no guarantee that
the ransomed data will be returned. Many cybercriminals collect ransom without
returning the data to its rightful owner.
Recommendation
Make sure your organization is protected from targeted attacks, properly backs up
data and segments each network. This will eliminate attacker advantage if they gain
access, destroy your data or attempt to hold your sensitive information hostage.
In addition, deploy a comprehensive data loss prevention (DLP) solution to enable
your team to track and monitor the movement of your most sensitive data.
5. 3
Attackers will be more interested in cloud
data than your network.
Cybercriminals will focus their attacks more on data stored in the cloud. This tactical
shift follows the movement of critical business data to cloud-based solutions such
as Google, Microsoft Office 365 and Confluence. They will find that penetrating the
data-rich cloud can be easier and more profitable than getting through the “castle
walls” of an on-premise enterprise network.
No doubt, attackers will still infiltrate enterprise networks to target users, steal
information and compromise their systems. However, such attacks will serve as an
intermediate step to gain access to third-party cloud services instead of an internal
data store.
Recommendation
Implement a comprehensive DLP solution that can help you identify what data is in
the cloud and where it resides. Understand who is accessing your data and ensure
these individuals have hardened access controls and the proper security training.
In addition, make sure that the database containing your most sensitive information
has extra protection.
6. 4
Redkit, Neutrino and other exploit kits
will struggle for power in the wake of
the Blackhole author arrest.
The Blackhole exploit kit was arguably the most successful in history. Everything
changed in October 2013 when “Paunch,” the alleged hacker author behind the
famous kit, was arrested in Russia. Websense Security Labs predicts that we will
see a fight for market leadership between a number of new entrants and existing
exploit kits in 2014. Similar to brick-and-mortar criminal rings, now that the kingpin
is removed, others will rise in popularity and struggle for dominance.
Until the arrest of Paunch, Blackhole was used in the biggest percentage of exploit
activity, and for good reason: its owner was adept at staying up-to-date with the
most recent vulnerabilities. Blackhole had been followed in popularity by the Cool,
Gong da and Redkit exploit kits. But the exploit kit market was disrupted almost
immediately — within a month of Paunch’s arrest, Blackhole had dropped from the
top spot to number eight behind Redkit.
To fill the void, we anticipate Redkit and the Neutrino exploit kit will secure a strong
foothold in the coming year. Neutrino has incorporated Microsoft Internet Explorer
zero-days very quickly and has increasingly become a Blackhole replacement. We
also anticipate seeing fragmented exploit kits appear more frequently than top kits.
This fragmentation will increase the volume of exploit kits that information security
professionals need to monitor.
Recommendation
Information security professionals need to stay updated on how the exploit kit market
changes in 2014. Stay tuned to the Websense Security Labs blog for the latest news

Java will remain highly exploitable and highly
exploited — with expanded repercussions.
Despite highly publicized and successful exploitations of Java vulnerabilities throughout 2013, most end points continue to run older versions of Java and therefore remain
extremely exposed to exploitation.1 The situation is not expected to change in 2014.
Pragmatism, not ignorance, is behind most decisions not to update Java.
Patching is still an unfeasible option for many organizations, particularly those
using business-critical applications that have not been updated to support more
recent versions of the platform. And alternative approaches combining a variety
of tactics are time-consuming for IT to design and implement.
In addition, we anticipate repercussions throughout the threat landscape.
These include:
• With numerous proven Java exploits to choose from, cybercriminals will
devote more time to finding new uses for tried-and-trusted attacks or to
crafting other aspects of their advanced, multi-stage attacks.2
• Cybercriminals will look elsewhere for similarly exploitable opportunities. Our researchers are paying particular attention to Flash, web-kits
and several other popular platforms that, like Java, are popular, readily
exploited and inconsistently updated.
• Cybercriminals will reserve the use of zero-day Java exploits for targeting
high-value networks with good Java patching practices.
Recommendation
To balance business needs with enterprise security requirements, the best
practices are to blend tactics. Patch, uninstall Java when it isn’t required, and
implement the “alternative browser” approach. The alternative browser approach
dedicates machines and browsers for the use of Java-based applications and all
others are kept secure against Java vulnerabilities. In addition, deploy comprehensive
and integrated cybersecurity solutions.

Attackers will increasingly lure
executives and compromise organizations
via professional social networks.
During the first stage of the advanced threat kill chain, cybercriminals conduct
reconnaissance to gather intelligence on their potential victims.3 In 2014, attackers will
increasingly use work-oriented social networks, such as LinkedIn, instead of personal
social media (e.g., Facebook) when targeting professionals. The information gathered
this way will be used to compromise networks.
We predict many of the cybercrime tactics that are successful when targeting personal social networking users will be applied in new, innovative ways within professional
social networks. For example, in October 2013, Websense Security Labs researchers
discovered a false LinkedIn profile that pinpointed targets for an upcoming phishing
campaign.4 A fake user named “Jessica Reinsch” contacted specific LinkedIn users
chosen for their job title, company size and other information. Cybercriminals then
lured these contacts to endorse the counterfeit account and visit their malicious
website. This added creditability for the fake profile and provided attackers with
insight into each target’s professional network.
Recommendation
Networking is a powerful business tool. Unfortunately, it can provide cybercriminals
access to a professional’s social connections and a direct communication channel
to deliver malware. To avoid becoming a victim of socially engineered cyberattacks,
members of LinkedIn and other professional social networks need to be wary of
those attempting to connect with them. Verify a legitimate relationship before adding
connections and determine why this person wants to interact. In addition, as a best
practice, educate your workforce about the reconnaissance stage of the advanced
threat kill chain.5

Cybercriminals will target the weakest
links in the “data-exchange chain.”
Many high-value government and enterprise targets, after years of being hacked
or attacked, have significantly improved their defensive strategies and capabilities.
Cybercriminals will therefore increasingly go after the contractors, vendors and
others that comprise the “data-exchange chain” with the larger, more valuable
targets — for fewer of these partners have sufficient defenses. Any organization
in the data-exchange chain is a potential target or can serve as a means of
attacking the “big prize.”
As transactions move from using physical currency to digital forms such as
“electronic wallets,” the number of organizations in the data-exchange chain will
continue to grow. Cybercriminals could go after any organization in the chain that
collects, processes, records, or bills any part of these transactions.
Recommendation
You need to understand the extent of your organization’s data flow and ensure it
is protected at every stop along the way. Examine what security measures your
partners are taking and ask questions based on the nature of your relationship
and the business function they perform. In addition, develop criteria for email,
web, data, and cloud security measures that you expect your vendors and partners
to have in place.

Mistakes will be made in “offensive” security
due to misattribution of an attack’s source.
For several years, we’ve been hearing more about “offensive” security, where global
governments and enterprises have been threatening retaliatory strikes against anyone
caught attacking them or their interests. As in traditional warfare, tactical mistakes
will increasingly happen in these cybertrenches.
Security teams might feel justified in mounting counter-cyberattacks in response
to harmful incoming incidents, but the reality is that correctly attributing an attack’s
true source is exceptionally difficult even for the most experienced experts. Failure
to accurately identify the perpetrator could trigger a retaliatory strike against the
owner of a compromised website commandeered in the attack. As a result, the
innocent organizations caught in the crossfire will suffer varying and potentially
grave consequences.
Other repercussions are less clear but still potentially impactful. Attacks that hit
undeserving targets might result in numerous lawsuits among affected parties, and
the lack of legal precedent in this realm could delay or prevent timely resolution.
Recommendation
Never hack back, because offensive attacks do more harm than good. Instead, adopt
a robust incident response and security triage program to collect as much forensic
information as possible before passing it on to internal teams or trusted third parties.
The more information you can gather at this stage, the better. In addition, improve
your organization’s attack-prevention defenses by adding real-time defenses that
correlate with the advanced threat kill chain.6
