8. Where Is The Attack From? 1. http://www.verizonenterprise.com/verizon-insights-lab/data-breach-digest/2019

9. Breach Commonalities 96% of attacks were not difficult 85% of breaches took weeks to discover 92% of incidents discovered by 3rd party 97% of incidents were avoidable with simple or intermediate controls Note: Stats vary from year to year by single digits

10. 10. Cyber Liability Insurance Coverage • Many Insurers have suffered huge losses • Policies are including more exclusions • Policy Holders must litigate to attempt to get the coverage they thought they had or may have had previously • More Strict Determinations on Misconduct and Negligence and Reasonable Security • Policy Applications and Questionnaires are more in-depth • Terrorism? • Be sure clients are getting legal counsel review before purchase and prior to each renewal • Be sure clients are truthful in all aspects of the technology and security incident history portions of applications • Determine risks relevant to cyber-terrorism and insure accordingly

11. 9. Denial Of Service Attacks (DDoS) • Botnets that flood servers with millions of packets per millisecond • Makes systems unavailable or can crash the entire internet • Cloud based applications vulnerable • IoT proliferation will exponentially increase attacks • Baby monitors, DVR’s, home security, routers - 2016, Mirai DDoS attack crippled ISP’s and Internet Backbone itself • Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Plans must be updated to include DDoS attacks • Change default passwords on all internet-connected devices • Always monitor for high bandwidth usage

12. 8. Ransomware Attacks • Data or entire hard drives are encrypted by malware (CryptoLocker) • Encryption key is held by hacker until payment is made with Bitcoin by the victim • If ransom is not paid, data may be lost forever • Ransom may now include demands to infect other devices (Popcorn Time) • Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Plans must be updated to include ransomware attacks • BACKUP, BACKUP, BACKUP • Identify mission-critical data and systems and analyze risk for ransomware attack

13. 7. Windows 7 Retirement • No more security patches releasedafter 1/14/20 • No more support for Internet Explorer 7 • Purchase Extended Support until Jan. 2023 • Perform risk analysis • Budget for a shorter hardware refresh cycle • Migrate to Microsoft Office 365 – get free Windows 10 Pro licenses (only Win7Pro)

14. 6. Internal IT Staff or Vendors • Small and mid-size organizations most at risk • 0% Unemployment rate for experienced, credentialed security analysts (CISA, CISSP, CISM) • Most IT staff are trained and experienced in operational IT – keeping systems up and running efficiently • Security is now highly specialized by industry, device type, business risk, and information lifecycle • Most IT staff have no time for proactive monitoring and analysis required in all best practices, audit criteria, and security regulations • Consider managed security service providers plus regular IT vendor • Require frequent industry recognized certifications for all security staff and vendors • Require ongoing security education of all security staff • Don’t assume that security is a priority or even included in service level agreements with IT Vendors

15. 5. Lost or Stolen Devices • Laptops, Smartphones, USB drives • Lost backup tapes • Data breach notification, privacy laws, OCR Wall of Shame, litigation, federal regulations? • ENCRYPT NOW – No excuses! • Perform vendor due diligence • Include lost/stolen devices in your incident response plan

16. 4. Cloud – IaaS, PaaS, SaaS • Dude, where’s my data?? • 3rd party, 4th party, resellers? • Timeshare software license? • Retain specialized legal counsel • Data portability • Shared physical or virtual infrastructure • Vendor(s) business viability

17. 3. Phishing and Spear Phishing • Disguised links in email • Social engineering to target specific people • Uses email, social messaging, or web links • URL shortening presents new problems • Train users on scams continuously • Allow only 1 admin to send out security alerts • Patch systems/AV, control user privileges

18. 3. Phishing and Spear Phishing Training Works!

19. 2. Un-Patched Machines, Programs, Firmware • Operating System Patches • Local machines AND servers AND gear • 3rd Party App Patches • Office, AV, Obscure Apps • Old exploits still happening • Force justification for patch delays • Enable automatic updates (if possible) • Perform regular internal scans (Nessus)

20. Poor Patching Impact

21. 1. Windows Server 2008 Retirement • No more security patches releasedafter 1/14/20 • Highly complex migrations • Already in Extended Support • Perform risk analysis • Write and design conversion plans • Go for the easy wins – non mission critical server retirement • Migrate to Microsoft Azure – get 3 more years

22. Everyone Can Do Something NOW • Unencrypted Mobile Devices • - Encrypt before you leave TODAY! • Use Two-Factor Authentication • - Always, Always, Always!! • Poor Passwords • Move to a passphrase • Use a password keeper

23. Small Organization Focus Maintain inventory of IT assets Implement Access Control on remote access services Change default credentials on all internet facing devices Trust but VERIFY – Minimum annual security testing

24. Large Organization Focus Eliminate unnecessary and / or legacy data Monitor logs – outsource / co-source Annually review incident response plans – verify with gap analysis **Trust but VERIFY – security testing with social engineering, ethical hacking and aggressive penetration testing
