1 Why Security Matters
Our Customers’ Security ChallengesWhy security matters to our Customers … Viruses, worms, spyware and spam Protect customer / partner privacy Managing internal &external threats Regulatory requirements Security Management Patch management, operations challenges Homeland Security & critical infrastructure protection Business continuity planning Businessconsolidation Migrating to complex technologies • Strengthened Privacy protection • Strengthened security for telecom operators • Increased protection of critical infrastructures • Sarbanes-Oxley Act • Basel II for financial sector • Company’s top management getting liable for security of business assets • IP everywhere • Networks convergence • Open / shared multi-applications networks • Decrease of biodiversity(same basic techno & middleware everywhere) • Increased complexity of systems • New services such as VoIP, Triple Play, xOD… based upon high-value content delivery with contractual requirement. • Deeper interactions in ECO system with partners, customers. • no more clear and static border protection • The network is critical to the business / mission and failures can have a malicious origin
Some real cases … Mobile phones belonging to top Greek military and government officials — including the prime minister — and the U.S. Embassy were tapped for nearly a year beginning in the weeks before the 2004 Olympic games…the surveillance was carried out through spy software installed in the central system of Vodafone, the mobile telephony provider that served the targets. Vodafone was fined 76 MEUR by Greek Authorities. (July’07) Two US fraudsters routed calls through unprotected network ports at VoIP vendors to route calls onto providers. Over three weeks, the two routed half a million phone calls to a VoIP provider in Newark via a company based in Rye Brook. Federal investigators believe the two made as much as $1m from the scam. (July’06) A sophisticated computer hacker had access to servers at US wireless giant T-Mobile for at least a year, which he used to monitor U.S. Secret Service e-mail, obtain customers' passwords and Social Security numbers, and download candid photos taken by Sidekick users, including Hollywood celebrities. (Jan’05) A federal grand jury has indicted a 20-year-old California man on charges that, in Jan’05, his botnet hijacked thousands of computers and crippled a hospital network, leaving intensive care systems paralysed and doctors' pagers useless, Associated Press reports.(Feb’06) The Slammer worm penetrated a private computer network at Ohio's Davis-Besse nuclear power plant in January and disabled a safety monitoring system for nearly five hours, despite a belief by plant personnel that the network was protected by a firewall. (Aug’03)
Our customers security challengesWhy security matters to us Integrated Security System Eco-System Defenses Hardening (Standards) Network, & Services Design Security Imbed End-to-End Integrity Attestation • System Hardening – Standards Based: Our products must be developed to a consistent security and reliability framework. Build “trustworthy”, to inter-operate within both a solution and an integrated security where security information is exchanged. A standards-based approach leads to interoperability, certification, etc. • Integrated Security Eco-System: Security must be designed as a system of defenses that are integrated together to exchange information and ties in closer cooperation the three elements of prevention-detection-response. Point selected appliances are no longer viable. • Embed Integrity Attestation: All is built on IP-based components, the cloud extends into customer premises – the threat increases. Rootkit (stealthy threats) raise the bar of how systems can get compromised and not detected. These trends drive the need to measure the state of integrity and validate configuration from creation through operation. • Design Security E2E: A differentiation for solutions such as VoIP competing in Convergence is the security design – one that works e2e and is architected consistent for all implementations.
2 Why security monitoring and incident response matters The impact of compliance & regulations 9 | Presentation Title | Month 2008
Last year’s slides on trends and our positioning :we see and face every day attacks that go faster and faster
Latest example: Storm WormNot just a “point release”, an active on-going investment ! How does Storm spread? Constant updates Keep spam topic current Exploit new vulnerabilities, even adapt to the end-user web browser New spreading techniques – like blog-comment spam Active updates to adapt to the latest OS upgrades, anti-virus signatures, and other security patches Payload morphs every 30 minutes or so (so signatures cannot catch up) Difficult to detect by Telco in the cloud Obfuscated Command & Control protocol overlaid on P2P hiding behind Fast Flux (using DNS) Few packets sent for a P2P: average is under one packet per second Active defense – analysis of obfuscated code may trigger DDoS attack! Don’t get detected: be patient, don’t hurt the hosts Robust design with separation of duties Redundancy with P2P network for C2 (Command and Control) Only a fraction are C2 servers, only a fraction of infected hosts spread the worm. The rest stand by to receive orders. • chart show packet count for the P2P data plane over 7h
The Challenge: Difficult, Multi-Dimensional, and In Flux Blacklist Defenses Ineffective Security un-manageable and no single situation awareness Reacting to infinite possible sources Ex: polymorphism Point Prod’s Point Roles Inconsistent security applied to network components – un-trusted pieces make… Increasing Network Complexity Increased vulnerability Ex: firewall VOIP sessions Weak Links Prevalent That addresses security in a comprehensive way – so very difficult to integrate security Threat occur faster than we can detect and respond before it impacts business Lack of Universal Standard Exploitation Window Zero-Day Data exchange requires better security controls More personal data is online– uncertain protection Data Control & Integrity DataLeakage From phishing and spy ware to DDOS and Network Penetration Attacks SPAM – SPIT – SPASMS tough to separate wanted info Sophisticated Cyber Crime Data Flooding • Source : Bell Labs Research
Business needs and drivers for security monitoring and controlWhat is the –customer- Value of our Threat Management Services ? Our point of view on Security Business Imperatives Proven Benefits • Over USD 1million in increased productivity (by reducing downtime) • Avoidance of fines (due to QoS, SLA, compliance or regulatory violations) – one incident could cost USD 500K • Concentrate on core business and avoid risks linked to building and maintaining a full security operational team Plus… • Increased end-user trust • Fewer security incidents • Prevent rather than cure where possible • Quicker response to and recovery from attacks “Conduct business anytime” Minimize downtime and enhance productivity • 24x7 monitoring is important in reducing the risk of security breach. Provide trustworthy service “Sensitive data and traffic protected” • Governance regulations require organizations to become stricter in enforcing segregation of duties. This requires separation of security administration and control activities. “Enhanced staff productivity and lower operating expenses” Operate cost-effectively • Lack of appropriately skilled resources at customer organizations leads to increased demand for outsourcing security services.

History The Tunisian government decided in 2003 to deploy a cyber-security National plan. A National Information Security Agency (ANSI) was created under the Authority of the Ministry of new communication technologies. This Agency was charged of implementing a –mandatory- national plan regarding security audit/assessment of many companies, and creating a Computer Emergency Response Team, the Cert-TCC, with a funding from the World Bank. Relations with ALU and the Cert-IST The Alcatel-Lucent experts of the Cert-IST have audited and trained the Cert-TCC structure. The Cert-IST has sponsored them to the FIRST, membership, (17 May 2007). The ANSI/Cert-TCC only national and legitimate Tunisian Cert He is responsible of cyber-security for government, privates companies (including ISPs), and has an excellent track record of awareness activities towards citizens and families. CERT expertise expansion :Raising the (Tunisian) National Agency for Information Security and the Cert-TCC
