2.1 CYBEX - The Cybersecurity Information Exchange Framework Tony Rutkowski, tony@yaanatech.com Rapporteur, ITU-T Cybersecurity Rapporteur Group EVP, Yaana Technologies Senior Fellow, Georgia Tech, Sam Nunn School, Center for International Strategy, Technology, and Policy (CISTP)
What is the Cybersecurity Information Exchange Framework (CYBEX) ? • A global initiative to • identify a set of platform specifications to facilitate the trusted exchange of information among responsible parties worldwide supporting cybersecurity for • Infrastructure protection • Incident analysis and response • Law enforcement and judicial forensics • Enhance the availability, interoperability, and usefulness of these platforms • Extensible use of best-of-breed open cyber security information exchange platforms • Facilitated by the Cybersecurity Rapporteur Group of ITU-T (Q.4/17) • ITU-T Recommendations during 2010-2011, with continuing evolution to current user community versions and needs
What is cybersecurity? Contractual service agreements and federations Intergovernmental agreements and cooperation Encryption/ VPNs esp. for signalling 1. Measures for protection Legal remedies may also institute protective measures 4. Legal Remedies Tort & indemnification 2. Measures for threat detection Resilient infrastructure Real-time data availability Regulatory/ administrative law Criminal law Data retention and auditing Forensics & heuristics analysis Provide data for analysis Identity Management Routing & resource constraints Provide basis for actions Blacklists & whitelists Deny resources Investigation & measure initiation Reputation sanctions Vulnerability notices Patch development Network/ application state & integrity Provide awareness of vulnerabilities and remedies 3. Measures for thwarting and other remedies = information exchange for analysis = information exchange for actions
The CYBEX Initiative:basic model for information exchange CYBEX Focus Cybersecurity Organization Cybersecurity Organization CybersecurityInformationacquisition(out of scope) CybersecurityInformationuse(out of scope) • Structure information • Identify & discover cyber security information and organizations • requesting & responding with cybersecurityinformation • Trusted exchange of cyber security information

A Cybersecurity Namespace • Trusted global cybersecurity information exchange requires identifiers for • The parties and other objects involved in the exchanges • The information exchanged • The terms and conditions associated with the exchanged information • A global cyber security namespace is part of CYBEX and described in draft Rec. ITU-T X.cybex.1 • The OID namespace 2.48 has been reserved for this purpose by joint ISO|IEC JTC1 SC6 and ITU SG17 action • OID namespaces • Are hierarchical and enable autonomous distributed management • Were developed for and have been used for these kinds of purposes for the past 30 years • Can also be used to meet new ETSI TC LI Dynamic Triggering requirement for a global identifier for warrants and related needs
A Global Cybersecurity Namespace Joint ITU-T & ISO 0 1 2 [jointly allocated by ITU-T SG17 and ISO|IEC JTC1 SC6] ITU-T|ITU-R ISO [Allocated by ITU-T SG17] [Allocated by ISO|IEC JTC1 SC6] 3 1 48 = cybersecurity . . . 4 0 2 48 Architecture TBD Every country has a numeric identifier automatically reserved in the OID 2.48 cybersecurity namespace . . . . . . . . . 4 250 756 840 . . . nnn Suisse USA France Afghanistan FIRST 1 [each country , organization, subdivision allocates namespaces and levels as desired] Non-country organizations can also be allocated identifiers
Use of the OID cybersecurity namespace: an example Ensures coherent ability to know who is involved, specific identification of the information, and expected treatment policies Cybersecurity Organization Cybersecurity Organization 2.48.1.756.3 [hypothetical Swiss agency] 2.48.1.250.2 [hypothetical French agency] • Incident 2.48.1.756.3.1.[local identifier] • Terms & conditions 2.48.1.756.3.2.[local identifier] Local agency and community identifiers can continue to be used The namespace identifiers need not be publicly exposed – only unique and consistent within the namespace
The cybersecurity problems are about to get much worse • Cloud Services and SmartGrids create potential significant new cybersecurity threats with far reaching consequences • Public services are being pushed into the marketplace with • No regulation • No standards • Availability of massive network data center resources • With little understanding of the cybersecurity dimensions, much less effective solutions • No international agreements
Will history repeat itself? • Similar kinds of cyber security challenges were faced a hundred years ago • Fast-paced new network technology emerged • Networks became global in scope • Harmful incidents were rapidly scaling • Governments did not intervene to avoid harm to innovation • Sinking of the Titanic in 1912 finally motivated global action • Every new network technology has faced similar challenges • The 1980s OSI Internet had public infrastructure security solutions, but lacked innovation • The 1990s TCP/IP academic Internet had no public infrastructure security solutions, but was great for innovation • Criminals , hackers, terrorists, miscreants are also innovative and have many incentives • CYBEX assembles open, extensible, technology-neutral capabilities essential for public network infrastructure/service cybersecurity in different forms over the past hundred years
It usually takes a major disaster SS Cyber Infrastructure How many cyber icebergs do you need before substantial global action occurs?
