6. February, 2010 6 Top 10 Threats to Enterprise Security Source: IDC's 2007 Annual Security Survey of IT and security professionals
7. February, 2010 7 Internal Threats vs. External Threats Which Is More Common? Most businesses understand that threats can come from both outside (e.g., hackers, crackers, and criminals) and inside (individuals with legitimate access such as employees, customers, partners, consultants, contractors, etc.). While small businesses still perceive that the most serious threats come from external sources, medium-sized companies view internal and external threats as equally important. Large and very large firms clearly realize that the most serious security threats are coming from internal sources.
Threats from External Professionals
Organized Crime
Extortion and protection payments
Stock manipulation
Massive fraud
Hostile and Non-Government
Physical destruction by IT manipulation
Disruption of Critical Economic Processes
Foreign Intelligence Agencies
Steal technology secrets
Feed confidential data to “friendly firms”
Hired Guns & Renegade Consultants
Blackmail-based consulting
Extract critical business information.
Steal pricing, bid data, and proposals
Feeding the counterfeiters

Information Leakage Statistics
9. February, 2010 9 Remember - The perfect fraud is where victims are completely unaware they are victims!
Average Cost of Fraud - 7% of annual revenues
60% of all fraud involves employees
60% of fraud is detected by tipping or by accident
The average scheme goes on for 24 months prior to detection
In 78% of the cases studied, the insiders were authorized users utilizing simple, legitimate user commands
Internal Threats – A Critical Problem for Enterprises The US Association of Certified Fraud Examiners estimates of the average cost of fraud has been rising and is now at 7%The US Association of Certified Fraud Examiners estimates of the average cost of fraud has been rising and is now at 7%

Web interface
13. February, 2010 13 Shell Control Box (SCB)
It is a device that controls, monitors, and audits remote administrative access to servers and networking devices. It is a tool to oversee server administrators and server administration processes by controlling the encrypted connections used in server administration. It is an external, fully transparent device, completely independent from the clients and the servers.
SCB logs all administrative traffic (including configuration changes, executed commands, etc.) into audit trails,
All data is stored in encrypted, timestamped and signed files, preventing any modification or manipulation,
The circumstances of the event are readily available in the audit trails and the incident can be easily identified,
The recorded audit trails can be displayed like a movie,
4-eyes authorization and real-time monitoring of the audited connections
two directions of the traffic (client-server and server-client) can be separated and encrypted with different keys

Guardium, category of database security and monitoring solutions. Company, delivers the most widely-used solution for ensuring the integrity of enterprise data and preventing information leaks from the data center
19. February, 2010 19 Guardium limitations
Visibility
only to the results of the user actions as reflected in database access
Have no visibility to the data that was actually displayed on the user screen or the user actions on the screen
Have no visibility to user access to non-database data
Track only updates (not read commands) in many cases – not enough for detecting information leakage
In many cases user-ids are not tracked since generic user-ids are passed from the application to the database, so the information collected cannot be linked to a specific user
20. February, 2010 20 Data Capture
Network sniffing: transactions, screens, intra-application messages, database access
Log files and databases
Reference Data
Forensic Audit Trail
“Google like” search on captured data, e.g. Who accessed a specific customer account in a specific timeframe?
Captured data is encrypted and digitally signed - potentially admissible in court when needed
Fraud Analytics

Real-time alerts
New rules may be applied after-the-fact
Investigation Workbench and Case Management
Manage Cases, Alerts and Incidents
Flexible Reporting
Control parameters of rules, profiles and scoring Intellinx – Enterprise Fraud Prevention Leading provider of end-user surveillance solutions for detecting & preventing insider fraud and other types of fraud The concept of how Intellinx works is very simple:
Record Data by network sniffing transactional data interactions being conducted by authorized users (employees and /or customers) and applications.
Provide the ability to both real time alert on scenarios one is proactively looking for and conduct ‘after-the-event’ forensics.
Replay exactly what users saw and did on their laptops and desktops
Through the Investigation Center, conduct multiple case investigations in an orderly controlled fashion.
Print off screen pictures to make evidence clearly understandable – especially useful when legal cases are likely.
The strength of this evidence in this format rather than in boxes containing many, many sheets of ‘code’ can be such that it will prevent situations going to court, save time and enormous amounts of money and thus
Pay for itself in very short period.

21. February, 2010 21 Intellinx – General Architecture This environment is very much simplified as there are usually a multitude of network switches. We only have to ‘sniff’ on one or at most a few in front of the applications to pick up interactions. And remember, Intellinx is application
agnostic – we are deciphering the protocols.
Customers whose Networks have encrypted protocols, with the cooperation of clients Intellinx will need to decipher in order to operate. This permission is normally forthcoming as its in the best interest of the customer. This environment is very much simplified as there are usually a multitude of network switches.

Very short installation process (several hours), with no risk to normal IT operations
Recordings stored in extremely condensed format
Recording data is encrypted and digitally signed – potentially admissible in court when needed The Intellinx Technology This is a representation of the platforms and protocols monitored. This is a representation of the platforms and protocols monitored.
23. February, 2010 23 The Deterrence Factor of Real-time Alerts
24. February, 2010 24 Intellinx limitations
If layout of the data over the wire is
proprietary, Intellinx cannot parse it (unless given access to the proprietary protocol)
encrypted in a non standard way (unless given access to the encryption method)
VPN (“non decryptic” – unless we tap beyond the VPN)
Does not record any activity that runs on the employee's workstation but only access to the business applications (Some consider this is a privacy positive!)

25. February, 2010 25 Recommendations Get proactive about internal threats
Detecting internal threats and information leakage requires full visibility into user activity
How?
Move out of the “Silo” approach!
Deploy
User behaviour & link analysis
Real time alerting
After the event forensic
Visual replay on user activity
Non-invasive solution, mitigated risk, fast implementation
Spend money to save costs! Why?
Identify and resolve “issues” before they become costly
Reduce exposure by shortening data breach investigations
