The MSSP perspective: CISO insights into stronger security - CyberTalk

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/the-mssp-perspective-ciso-insights-into-stronger-security-cybertalk/

The MSSP perspective: CISO insights into stronger security - CyberTalk

Gary Landau has been leading IT and information security teams for over 25 years as part of startups as well as large global organizations. He is currently a Virtual Field CISO with Unisys Security Services, where he supports companies in many different industries. His mantra is “keep making it better” and he is passionate about continuously improving system reliability, performance, and security. In this interview, Gary Landau unpacks valuable ideas, processes and solutions that can help businesses succeed in becoming more cyber secure. This is a fascinating read for any security professional eager to make an impact.

What are the most significant cyber security threats that your clients are currently facing?

The main cyber security threats most customers are worried about are AI and deepfakes. But where they really should be worried is around the basics — things like vulnerability management and credential protection.

As security protections have improved, I see more attacks around credentials — making credential protection and identity proofing more essential for our customers. There’s an adage that attackers don’t break in, they log-in. We’ve recently seen a lot more sophisticated fraud and credential-based attacks, especially due to improvements in AI.

We also see concerns about service desks needing to be more sophisticated in how they’re doing identity proofing, so that the service desks are not duped into resetting passwords for non-legitimate callers. In fact, a lot of organizations are starting to eliminate password resets by service desks altogether in favor of more sophisticated and automated identity proofing and password reset solutions.

Can you describe your customers? Is there a typical profile that you serve?

Our customers tend to be medium-to-large enterprises, and they can be in the public or private sector. There isn’t a single vertical that we focus on — we have customers from different industries. I’ve helped our customers in state and local governments and global enterprises — many different verticals. I’ve also spent recent years working with higher education institutions.

In your experience, what are the primary drivers that compel organizations to seek out MSSP services?

One unfortunate driver has been organizational breaches or attacks. Sadly, some organizations don’t realize that they need MSSP services like ours until after they are breached or have their business disrupted. In many cases, organizations aren’t benefiting or saving money by trying to manage all of their security in-house. In many instances, organizations have tools that they just don’t fully utilize because they don’t have the experienced nor trained staff to manage them. Also, maintaining the right staffing levels in-house can be challenging. In those cases, there is no advantage to keeping those services in-house. It becomes less expensive and more efficient to use an MSSP than to try and maintain that internal expertise. Plus, by using an MSSP, organizations have coverage even if their in-house staff turns over.

Can you walk us through your approach to assessing an organization’s cyber security needs and tailoring your services accordingly?

We have a three step approach, which starts with assessing the organization — and usually it’s based on some sort of security framework. I like the NIST frameworks, like NIST 800-53 and CSF. From the assessment we identify their security gaps and needs. We then propose and implement solutions to address those gaps. Lastly, we continually manage those solutions to make sure the security improvements are sustained. So, it’s an “assess,” “implement,” and “manage” approach.

How does your MSSP ensure the highest levels of security and compliance for clients across different industries, especially given differing regulatory requirements?

Since budgets typically aren’t unlimited, it’s about managing risk to an acceptable level for that organization. We recommend and strive to configure systems according to stringent security benchmarks, such as the NIST frameworks/standards or the CIS benchmarks. Then, irrespective if those benchmarks are for cloud environments or OS configuration settings, we will continuously improve those security settings for our clients to the point where we’re reaching 100% compliance with those recommendations.

Is it correct that cloud security is a specialty of Unisys?

It is. And it’s been a special focus of mine as well. Our focus is on helping businesses improve their services and a big driver is application modernization. What I mean by that is not just moving to the cloud, but modernizing their infrastructure, application processes, and security posture by refactoring legacy systems in the cloud. This helps make them more efficient while also making them more secure. Part of that security in the cloud is aided by our partnership with Check Point, which provides us with a CNAPP.

Could you share a bit about your partnership with Check Point and how that assists your enterprise?

Providing a comprehensive and effective solution requires people, processes and technologies. At Unisys, we have the skilled people and the effective processes, but we need a partner, Check Point, to provide that technology. It takes all three.

A little explainer on what happened with AO3:

Basically, someone or a group of someones decided to levy a DDoS attack. What this means is that they created a botnet (network of devices controlled by a bot, usually run in the background of an unsecured IoT device or computer being used for other things. Think data mining) to flood the servers with false requests for service.

What this does mean: AO3 might go back down, if the attack is relaunched. These types of attacks are usually used against businesses where traffic = money, thereby costing a company money. This isn't really an issue here since AO3 is entirely donation and volunteer based.

What this doesn't mean: stories, bookmarks, etc will be deleted and your anonymously published works will be linked back to you. No vulnerable points are breached during this process, so unless this group ends up doing something else, no data breaches will happen. You are safe, your content is safe.

National Change Your Password Day - 2024

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/national-change-your-password-day-2024/

National Change Your Password Day - 2024

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

National Change Your Password Day is celebrated on the first of February each year, as a day of awareness.

As you already know, credential exploitation is unbelievably profitable for cyber criminals. More than 775 million credentials are currently available for sale on the dark web. Bank account details sell for more than $4,000 each.

Regular password rotation, combined with adherence to password creation best practices, prevents hackers from guessing passwords, using tools to crack passwords, and from effectively weaponizing credentials purchased through underground marketplaces.

National Change Your Password Day might not have the allure of other holidays (the naming consultants were apparently on vacation when it was created), but the day serves as a reminder for organizations to enhance password security measures. Unauthorized organizational data access could result in lost revenue, lost market share and lost company credibility. But stop losing sleep over it. Upgrade your password security strategy with the following tips:

7 easy password security upgrades that you can implement today

1. Identity and access management (IAM). Automated identity and access management solutions boost security and provide administrators with greater control over users’ access to systems.

In turn, IAM empowers organizations to prevent identity theft, to limit data loss, and to stop unauthorized access to sensitive business data.

2. Educate employees about best practices. Remind in-office employees to avoid writing passwords down on sticky notes. Tell employees not to save passwords to browsers, as a wide range of malware and extensions can extract sensitive data from them.

Inform employees about the risks of using the same password over and over again, with different numbers at the end. Explain that hackers know that people commonly end passwords with exclamation points. Reinforce information about the risks associated with sharing login credentials.

These are just a handful of specific, yet extremely important, things about which to educate employees.

3. Limit the number of allowed password attempts. While it’s true that employees occasionally forget their passwords, cyber criminals are liable to exploit access attempt opportunities for their own gain.

In a classic example, a cyber criminal may obtain an employee’s email address, and then request a password reset. Depending on the reset set-up, the cyber criminal may attempt to match the recovered password to a variety of different accounts and systems, in an effort to break in.

Placing a limit on the number of allowed password attempts increases password security, as it reduces the chance that someone will successfully manipulate systems by matching a password and usernames.

4. Audit systems for extraneous employee accounts. Occasionally, employees create backdoor access to computer systems, for legitimate purposes, by creating multiple user accounts.

The extra accounts enable employees to perform additional task functions for the enterprise. However, if an employee with multiple accounts for a given service leaves the organization, they can potentially use the accounts as access points for unauthorized entry into network systems.

Organizations should audit network systems where possible and delete extraneous accounts.

5. Consider password management tools. The majority of web browsers do offer basic password managers these days. But, they don’t offer as much value as dedicated password managers.

Password managers generate extremely strong passwords. Some password managers also offer passwordless authentication support, meaning that people can login with a one-time code, biometric authentication, a security key or Passkeys.

While there isn’t a 100% secure password management solution, password managers can serve as a useful support mechanism within a broader cyber security framework.

6. Ensure that two-step authentication has been implemented. Also known as multi-factor authentication, two step-authentication adds complexity to the login process, making it more difficult for a cyber criminal to gain illicit account access.

Two-step authentication enhances the overall resilience of digital identities and also helps to foster a culture of cyber security, as two-step auth means that users must actively participate in fortifying their online presence.

These days, two-step authentication is considered an essential element of a robust password security strategy.

7. Advanced anomaly detection systems. These types of systems can identify irregular patterns in login behavior. These include unusual access times, duplicative access, and logins from unfamiliar locations.

Admins can set up corresponding alerts and notifications. Personnel should regularly review and analyze logs generated by systems and are encouraged to take proactive measures in order to address any apparent risks.

Further information

If you’re wondering about the security of your accounts, or those within your organization, Google’s Password Checkup can show you which Google email addresses and passwords have been compromised in a breach. Another site that can be used to reliably detect compromised email addresses and passwords is Have I Been Pwned.
