Co jest najważniejsze w cyberbezpieczeństwie firmy?

Wyobraźmy sobie, że grupie przedsiębiorców lub menagerów zadamy jedno pytanie: “co jest najważniejsze w cyberbezpieczeństwie firmy”? Otrzymamy bardzo różne odpowiedzi. Niektórzy powiedzą bardzo szczerze, że po prostu się nad tym nie zastanawiali. Będą i tacy, którzy pod wpływem przeczytanych raportów lub artykułów wskażą kilka problemów, które akurat są modne.
Najciekawszych odpowiedzi udzielą nam ci przedstawiciele firm, którzy doświadczyli już pewnych problemów i sami przekonali się, to co znaczy “mieć incydent cyber”. Będą wśród nich osoby, które miały w firmie infekcję ransomware’em i wiedzą, jak kosztowne może być odzyskiwanie danych z backupów (o ile się je ma). Będą i tacy, którzy ucierpieli z powodu socjotechniki tracąc albo pieniądze, albo bardzo cenne informacje (niektórzy z nich do tej pory nie wiedzą, co tak naprawdę pozyskali z ich organizacji cyberprzestępcy i mają pewne obawy).
Zagadnienia takie jak “pełne szyfrowanie dysków” czy “zero day” zwykle nie wywołują większych emocji, ale niektóre organizacje w Polsce już wiedzą co to znaczy zgubić laptopa, który nie był szyfrowany (i nie dość że nie był, to znajdowały się na nim dane, które nie powinny być w ogóle zapisane na jego dysku). Jeśli chodzi o “zarządzanie podatnościami”, to również nie wywołuje ono dużych emocji, ale jest to w pewnym stopniu błąd poznawczy. W niektórych firmach dotkniętych atakiem malware’u bardziej pamięta się nazwisko zaatakowanego pracownika (który np. odebrał złośliwy załącznik) niż to, czy komputer tego pracownika na pewno był najlepiej na dany moment zabezpieczony.
Wyrywkowe spojrzenie na bezpieczeństwo wydaje się mieć sens z punktu widzenia menagera. Każdy kto zarządza organizacją wie, [...]

Hospital #ransomware have a huge impact on patients' health outcomes, it turns out. WHO KNEW??

And keep in mind, 42 - 67 deaths was just patients covered by Medicare in the US, not those covered by other types of insurance or those in other parts of the world.

Cybersecurity is healthcare.

Not only that, but it's trivial to not only jam GPS [would be interesting if said trains cease to drive without signal!] and it's likely even possible that a malicious #firmware update could basically "geofence" the entire world, bricking the train in the process...

And that's just the things I could come up at a moments' notice.

Imagine what state-sponsored attackers could do:

How about #Ransomware'ing an entire train + passengers???

Today, it’s pretty much inconceivable for a Network Architect to design a system that isn’t
1) centralized,
2) cloud-based, and
3) connected to the Internet.

Shimano, a global manufacturer of bikes and fishing equipment, was breached. For them, the problem wasn’t data encryption, but data exposure. A massive trove of data was exfiltrated, and at least some of it has been published online.

The link to the article:
https://www.bicycling.com/news/a45974423/shimano-ransomware-attack-hackers-published-data/

The “normal” system architecture is predisposed to these types of problems. The instant you connect your data to the Internet, you create a global attack surface.

This is why centralizing your data is a very bad idea.
This is also why making 100% of your data available via the Internet is a very bad idea.
This is also why saving money on Internet connectivity instead of paying for private data circuits is a very bad idea.

You can save money, or you can be secure .
Wait - come to think of it, being secure may actually save money, too.

#DaixinTeeam gave me some additional info on this one. From what I have been able to determine and from the NTMWD's statement to DataBreaches.net, Daixin did not hit the water supply system, but got the business system.

But this is the second municipal water district attack in about a week. The first was politically motivated, or so the attackers claimed. This one is allegedly financially motivated.

Europol says an international law enforcement operation has apprehended key figures in Ukraine thought to be behind several high-profile #ransomware attacks which cost victims hundreds of millions of Euros - including deployments of LockerGoga, MegaCortex, HIVE and Dharma ransomware campaigns.

-

"Those responsible for breaking into networks did so through techniques including brute force attacks, SQL injections and sending phishing emails with malicious attachments in order to steal usernames and passwords.

"Once inside the networks, the attackers remained undetected and gained additional access using tools including TrickBot malware, Cobalt Strike and PowerShell Empire, in order to compromise as many systems as possible before triggering ransomware attacks.

@SwiftOnSecurity OneDrive still causes me massive compatibility problems with business applications. Many of them get very angry that the files aren't linked the way they expect, and yes, its bad programming, but unfortunately its business. I'd much rather use a proper backup tool with unlimited historical rewind options to recover files from and not affect the way Windows actually stores and represents documents to the user. You don't even need the #cloud for it.

"Meanwhile, Moneris confirmed an external party attempted an attack on the company. However, the company claim the intrusion was thwarted by the company's cybersecurity team and "Moneris and its customers were not impacted.""

#Moneris handles *all* the payment processing for the Government of Canada.
The governments penchant for putting all it's eggs in a single basket (while calling itself "risk averse") is... concerning.

#ransomware #gcdigital

https://cybernews.com/news/moneris-medusa-data-breach/

Hot #CyberSecurity take:

Companies and organizations should be required to publicly disclose amounts paid to #Ransomware gangs. Better yet, governments should make it illegal for business to pay cybercriminals in the first place...

Not only does paying these groups fund their operation, it also puts a big flag on said company/organization that says "Hey! We pay digital ransoms which makes us VIP targets for future attacks!!"

@amvinfe You raise some points about the Hopewell Area School District's lack of transparency following a ransomware attack by the Medusa TA. It looks like there's nothing on the district's site with any update and no local media news coverage since October 23 or 24. Thanks for covering this one and digging into the leaked data.
