Data breach litigation, the new cyber battleground. Are you prepared? - CyberTalk

Data breach litigation, the new cyber battleground. Are you prepared? - CyberTalk

By Deryck Mitchelson, EMEA Field Chief Information Security Officer, Check Point Software Technologies.

Nearly everyone trusts Google to keep information secure. You trust Google with your email. I use Google for my personal email. Yet, for three years – from 2015 to 2018 – a single vulnerability in the Google Plus platform resulted in the third-party exposure of millions of pieces of consumer data.

Google paid a settlement of $350M in a corresponding shareholder lawsuit, but most organizations cannot afford millions in settlements. For most organizations, this level of expenditure due to a breach is unthinkable. And even for larger organizations with financial means, constant cycles of breach-related lawsuits are unsustainable.

Yet, across the next few years, especially as organizations continue to place data into the cloud, organizations are likely to see a significant uptick in post-breach litigation, including litigation against CISOs, unless they adopt stronger cyber security protocols.

Litigation looms large

Organizations that have experienced data breaches are battling a disturbing number of lawsuits. In particular, privacy-related class actions against healthcare providers are taking off.

Globally, there were 2X the number of data breach victims in 2023 as compared to 2022.

In 2023 alone, breach related class actions and government enforcement suits resulted in over $50 billion in settlement expenditures.

The Irish Health Service Executive, HSE, was severely impacted by a large cyber attack in 2021 with 80% of its IT services encrypted and 700 GB of unencrypted data exfiltrated, including protected health information. The HSE subsequently wrote to 90,936 affected individuals. It has been reported that the HSE is facing 473 data-protection lawsuits, and this number is expected to continue rising.

I recently spoke with a lawyer who specializes in data breach litigation. Anecdotally, she mentioned that breach-related lawsuits have grown by around 10X in the last year. This is becoming the new normal after a breach.

While organizations do win some of these lawsuits, courts have become increasingly sympathetic to plaintiffs, as data breaches can result in human suffering and hardship in the forms of psychological distress, identity theft, financial fraud and extortion. They can also result in loss of human life, but more about that later.

In courts of justice, an organization can no longer plead ‘we made an error or were unaware’, assuming that such a line will suffice. The World Economic Forum has found that 95% of cyber security threats can, in some capacity, be traced to human error. These cases are not complex. But the level of litigation shows that businesses are still making avoidable missteps.

To that effect, businesses need to not only start thinking about data protection differently, but also need to start operating differently.

Personal (and criminal) liability for CISOs

CISOs can be held personally liable, should they be found to have failed in adequately safeguarding systems and data that should be protected. At the moment, we’re not seeing much in the way of criminal liability for CISOs. However, if CISOs appear to have obfuscated the timeline of events, or if there isn’t full transparency with boards on levels of cyber risk, courts will indeed pursue a detailed investigation of a CISO’s actions.

The patch that would have fixed a “known critical vulnerability” should have been applied immediately. If the organization hadn’t delayed, would it still have been breached?

Therefore, it is in CISOs’ best interest to record everything – every interaction, every time that they meet with the board, and every time that they’re writing a document (who said what information, what the feedback was, who has read it, what the asks are), as a proactive breach preparedness measure.

If a CISO ends up in litigation, he or she needs to be able to say ‘this risk was fully understood by the board’. CISOs will not be able to argue “well, the board didn’t understand the level of risk” or “this was too complex to convey to the board”, it is the CISOs job to ensure cyber risk is fully understood.

We’re starting to see a trend where CISOs are leaving organizations on the back of large breaches, which may mean that they knew their charter, but failed to take full responsibility and accountability for the organization’s entire cyber security program.

The consumer perspective

As a consumer, I would expect CISOs to know what their job is – to understand the attack surface and to map out where they have weaknesses and vulnerabilities. And to have a program in-place in order to mitigate against as much.

But even if CISOs have a program in place to mitigate breaches, consumers can still come after them for a class action. Consumers can still argue that cyber security staff should have and could have moved faster. That they should have attempted to obtain additional investment funding from the board in order to remediate problems efficiently or to increase their operational capacity and capability to prevent the data breach.

The challenge that CISOs have got is that they’re trying to balance funding acquisition, the pace of change, innovation, and competitive advantage against actually ensuring that all security endeavors are done correctly.

A current case-study in liability

In Scottland, the National Health System of Dumfries and Gallloway recently experienced a serious data breach. The attack led to the exposure of a huge volume of Personally Identifiable Information (PII). Reports indicate that three TB of sensitive data may be been stolen. As means of proof, the cyber criminals sent screenshots of stolen medical records to the healthcare service.

As expected, a ransom demand was not paid. The criminals have now leaked a large volume of data online. Having previously worked in NHS Scotland, I find such criminal activity, targeting sensitive healthcare information, deplorable. Will we now, similar to HSE, see already constrained taxpayers’ money being used to defend lawsuits?

Liability leverage with proper tooling

CISOs cannot simply put in tooling if it can’t stand up to scrutiny. If CISOs are looking at tooling, but less-so at the effectiveness/efficacy of that tooling, then they should recognize that the probability of facing litigation is, arguably, fairly high. Just because tooling functions doesn’t mean that it’s fit for purpose.

In regards to tooling, CISOs should ask themselves ‘is this tool doing what it was advertised as capable of?’ ‘Is this delivering the right level of preventative security for the organization?’

Boards should also demand a certain level of security. They should be asking of CISOs, ‘Is the efficacy of what you’ve implemented delivering at the expected level, or is it not?’ and ‘Would our security have prevented a similar attack?’ We don’t see enough senior conversation around that. A lot of organizations fail to think in terms of, ‘We’ve got a solution in-place, but is it actually performing?’

CISOs need to approach data the same way that banks approach financial value. Banks place the absolute best safeguards around bank accounts, investments, stocks and money. CISOs need to do the same with all data.

Third-party risk

One of the areas in which I often see organizations struggle is supply chain and third-party risk. As you’ll recall, in August of 2023, over 2,600 organizations that deployed the MOVEit app contended with a data breach.

What lessons around due diligence can be learned here? What more could organizations have done? Certainly, CISOs shouldn’t just be giving information to third parties to process. CISOs need to be sure that data is being safeguarded to the right levels. If it’s not, organizational leaders should hold CISOs accountable.

If the third party hasn’t done full risk assessments, completed adequate due diligence and understood the information that they’ve got, then consider severing the business connection or stipulate that in order to do business, certain security requirements must be met.

The best litigation defense

In my view, the best means of avoiding litigation consists of improving preventative security by leveraging a unified platform that offers end-to-end visibility across your entire security estate. Select a platform with integrated AI capabilities, as these will help prevent and detect a breach that may be in-progress.

If an organization can demonstrate that they have deployed a security platform that adheres to industry best practices, that’s something that would enable an organization to effectively demonstrate compliance, even in the event of a data breach.

With cyber security systems that leverage AI-based mitigation, remediation and automation, the chances of a class-action will be massively reduced, as the organization will have taken significant and meaningful steps to mitigate the potentiality of a breach.

Reduce your organization’s breach probability, and moreover, limit the potential for lawsuits, criminal charges against your CISO and overwhelming legal expenditures. For more information about top-tier unified cyber security platforms, click here.

Enhancing IT Security: Strategies and Best Practices

Introduction:

In the contemporary digital landscape, where businesses and individuals heavily rely on interconnected systems, ensuring robust IT security is paramount. The exponential growth of cyber threats poses significant challenges to organizations of all sizes, requiring proactive measures to safeguard sensitive data, protect privacy, and maintain operational integrity. This article explores the importance of IT security, key challenges, and effective strategies to fortify digital defenses.

Importance of IT Security:

IT security encompasses a range of measures designed to safeguard digital assets, including hardware, software, networks, and data, against unauthorized access, breaches, and cyber attacks. The consequences of security breaches can be severe, leading to financial losses, reputational damage, legal liabilities, and compromised customer trust.

With the proliferation of connected devices, cloud services, and sophisticated attack vectors, the attack surface has expanded, making organizations more vulnerable to exploitation. Consequently, investing in robust IT security frameworks is essential to mitigate risks and ensure business continuity in an increasingly volatile threat landscape.

Key Challenges in IT Security:

Despite advancements in security technologies, organizations face several challenges in maintaining effective IT security:

1. **Sophisticated Threat Landscape**: Cybercriminals leverage advanced techniques such as malware, ransomware, phishing, and social engineering to infiltrate networks and compromise systems.

2. **Insider Threats**: Malicious insiders or negligent employees pose significant risks to organizational security by intentionally or inadvertently disclosing sensitive information or engaging in malicious activities.

3. **Compliance Requirements**: Organizations must adhere to regulatory mandates and industry standards governing data protection and privacy, such as GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and SOX, which impose stringent requirements and penalties for non-compliance.

4. **Resource Constraints**: Limited budgets, shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals, and competing priorities often constrain organizations' ability to implement comprehensive security measures.

Strategies for Enhancing IT Security:

To address these challenges and bolster IT security posture, organizations can adopt the following strategies and best practices:

1. **Risk Assessment and Management**: Conduct regular risk assessments to identify potential threats, vulnerabilities, and impact on critical assets. Develop risk management frameworks to prioritize mitigation efforts and allocate resources effectively.

2. **Implement Multi-Layered Defense Mechanisms**: Deploy a multi-layered approach to security, combining preventive, detective, and corrective controls at the network, host, and application layers. This includes firewalls, intrusion detection systems (IDS), antivirus software, endpoint protection, encryption, and access controls.

3. **User Education and Awareness**: Foster a culture of security awareness among employees through training programs, workshops, and simulated phishing exercises. Educate users about common threats, phishing scams, password hygiene, and best practices for safeguarding sensitive information.

4. **Regular Software Patching and Updates**: Keep software, operating systems, and firmware up-to-date with the latest security patches and fixes to address known vulnerabilities and mitigate potential exploitation by attackers.

5. **Secure Configuration Management**: Harden system configurations, disable unnecessary services, and enforce least privilege access controls to minimize the attack surface and limit the impact of security incidents.

6. **Data Encryption and Privacy Controls**: Encrypt sensitive data both in transit and at rest using robust encryption algorithms and cryptographic protocols. Implement data loss prevention (DLP) solutions and access controls to prevent unauthorized disclosure or misuse of confidential information.

7. **Incident Response and Contingency Planning**: Develop incident response plans outlining procedures for detecting, analyzing, and responding to security incidents promptly. Establish communication channels, escalation paths, and recovery strategies to minimize downtime and restore normal operations.

8. **Continuous Monitoring and Auditing**: Deploy security information and event management (SIEM) solutions to monitor network traffic, detect suspicious activities, and generate real-time alerts. Conduct regular security audits, penetration testing, and vulnerability assessments to identify weaknesses and remediate security gaps proactively.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, prioritizing IT security is imperative for organizations to mitigate cyber risks, protect critical assets, and preserve stakeholder trust in an increasingly interconnected world. By adopting proactive measures, leveraging best practices, and fostering a culture of security awareness, organizations can strengthen their resilience against evolving threats and maintain a competitive edge in today's digital landscape. Remember, in the realm of cybersecurity, vigilance and preparedness are key to staying one step ahead of adversaries and safeguarding the integrity of digital ecosystems.

March was a lean time, but that’s how it goes when we’re all waking up from winter. A few new Phantom offerings, regardless!

The Masque of Crimson Shadow by R. L. Davennor is the sequel to the earlier The Hells of Notre Dame, and like that book seems to be mashing the Phantom story up with another classic horror tale (in this case, Poe’s Masque of the Red Death, which of course we know our boy Erik is a fan of, has been added on top of The Hunchback of Notre Dame!).

Phantom by Kyshian N. Mertens goes a bit wide, featuring a main character who is a fashion model rather than an actress, but the setup of her loving (and connected in the industry) boyfriend and her big debut coming up being interrupted by a mysterious phantom figure who demands she think about how she got here is very familiar...

Found a Phantom is a new podcast by Kevin Vonesper, featuring discussion of the many versions of the Phantom story as well as interviews with related figures; there are eighteen episodes up as I write this and you can hear interviews with film directors and Broadway production members, as well as an ongoing “book club” feature to read the novel together.

Finally, The Phantom CISO by Mishaal Khan and Hisham Zahid has nothing to do with the Phantom story - it’s a book encouraging Chief Information Security Officers to get more involved in the organizations they work for. But I included it because the use of the mask is clearly a shout-out to the Phantom based solely on the name, as is the mirror-cracked font meant to evoke the Lloyd Webber show, and I always find that stuff hilarious. Please buy our book about internet security, we put your favorite singing goblin on it!

And that’s it for March! Come on, new springtime Phantoms!

Digital transformation for manufacturers requires additional IT/OT security

#ICYDK: While every industry is vulnerable to a ransomware attack, manufacturers are at a particular risk. While digitization and automation have helped transform the industry, it has simultaneously opened up new attack vectors within organizations. Now the most targeted industry, the manufacturing industry, has seen a 300 percent increase in cyberattacks in a single year. Beyond the tremendous growth in attacks, manufacturing companies make an ideal target for hackers due to the high value of the companies themselves, the high costs of unplanned downtime, and the highly visible impact that downtime has on consumers’ daily lives. With the risks so high, an enterprise-level solution that provides visibility and protection like Microsoft Defender for IoT is essential. Visibility is the first step to network protection The number of connected industrial control system (ICS)/operational technology (OT) devices in manufacturing facilities continues to grow. The benefits for the operations side of the house are clear, but the lack of visibility into them poses serious security risks for chief information security officers (CISOs). Manufacturers often have no way to identify and monitor what all their connected devices are doing and with whom or what they are communicating. Worse, all too often they lack even a simple inventory of all the connected devices they have in their facilities. In case of an attack, the lack of visibility means that they have no way of tracing the attack vector the hacker took, making them vulnerable to a second wave and delaying recovery and remediation. Continuous monitoring without impacting productivity Microsoft Defender for IoT not only creates asset maps within minutes of being turned on, but it also provides continuous monitoring of every device in every facility around the world. Microsoft’s Section 52 has access to tens of trillions of identity, endpoint, and other signals each day. The threat intelligence from this specialized IoT and ICS research team produces high-impact insights that help keep manufacturers safe from attacks. The agentless nature of the system protects companies without impacting production, no matter the topology of the network or the regulations governing the industry. And, with round-the-clock protection, Microsoft Defender for IoT can alert the SecOps team about an intrusion any time, any place. Security for networks in an age of IT and OT convergence As their digital transformations have progressed, manufacturers have seen their IT and OT environments converge. The air gap between them that ensured production would continue even if IT assets were taken offline is increasingly a thing of the past. With these trendlines, forward-thinking CISOs and their boards are taking proactive steps to protect the entire company from cyber-physical attacks that could have huge costs to safety, production, reputation, and the bottom line. Fortunately, Microsoft Defender for IoT can usually be deployed in less than a single day per facility and works right out of the box for large enterprises and small, niche facilities. With it, defenders of OT networks have a powerful new tool at their disposal to help keep hackers out and people, production, and profits safe. For more information on how Microsoft Defender for IoT can help protect your business, visit Microsoft Defender for IoT | Microsoft Azure today. https://azure.microsoft.com/blog/digital-transformation-for-manufacturers-requires-additional-itot-security/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=tumblr

Cybersecurity: Mangelnde Abstimmung zwischen CEOs und CISOs

87 Prozent der befragten CISOs gaben im Dynatrace CISO-Report 2024 an, dass CEOs für Anwendersicherheit blind seien. 70 Prozent der CEOs sind der Meinung, dass die Kommunikation mit CISO zu technisch sei. Cybersicherheit hat mittlerweile die Vorstandsetagen erreicht. Dennoch hindern interne Kommunikationshemmnisse Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) sehr häufig daran, sich effektiv um Cyberbedrohung kümmern zu können. Dies zeigt die jährliche, aktuelle Umfrage „The state of application security in 2024“, die Dynatrace, führender Anbieter von Unified Observability und Security, weltweit unter 1.300 CISOs (darunter 100 aus Deutschland) durchführen ließ. Für die Führungskräfte der Informationssicherheit ist es schwierig, die Abstimmung zwischen den Security-Teams und der Führungsebene zu forcieren, was das Verständnis innerhalb des Unternehmens für Cyberrisiken lückenhaft macht. Infolgedessen sind sie – vor dem Hintergrund steigender KI-gesteuerter Angriffe – fortschrittlichen Cyber-Bedrohungen stärker ausgesetzt. Die Studie untersucht diese Kommunikationslücken, und zeigt auf, wie ein einheitlicher Ansatz für Observability und Security Teams unterstützen kann, effektiver zusammenzuarbeiten und Risiken zu reduzieren. Wichtige Ergebnisse der Studie: - Mangelnde Abstimmung auf Vorstands- und Aufsichtsratsebene führt zu Cyberrisiken: Die Abstimmung zwischen Sicherheitsteams und der Führungsebene zu fördern, stellt für CISOs eine große Herausforderung dar 87 Prozent geben an, dass Anwendungssicherheit ein blinder Fleck auf CEO- und Vorstandsebene ist. - Sicherheitsteams sind zu technisch: Sieben von zehn der befragten C-Level sind der Meinung, dass Sicherheitsteams in technischen Begriffen sprechen, ohne den geschäftlichen Kontext zu vermitteln. 75 Prozent der CISOs betonen jedoch, dass das Problem in den Securitytools begründet ist, da diese keine Erkenntnisse darüber liefern können, wie Führungskräfte und Vorstände sie nutzen können, um Geschäftsrisiken zu verstehen und Bedrohungen zu verhindern. - KI treibt fortschrittlichere Cyber-Bedrohungen voran: Die Behebung dieser Technologie- und Kommunikationslücke wird immer wichtiger, da die Zunahme von KI-gesteuerten Angriffen und Cyber-Bedrohungen das Geschäftsrisiko deutlich erhöht. Vor diesem Hintergrund äußersten fast drei Viertel (72 Prozent) der CISOs, dass ihr Unternehmen in den letzten zwei Jahren einen Vorfall in der Anwendungssicherheit erlebt hat – mit schwerwiegenden Folgen: Umsatzeinbußen erlitten 47 Prozent, Geldstrafen erhielten 36 Prozent und verlorene Marktanteile beklagten 28 Prozent. Weitere Ergebnisse aus deutscher Sicht: - 9 Prozent der CISOs sind der Meinung, dass ihre Organisation über ausgereifte DevSecOps-Automatisierungsverfahren verfüge. - 71 Prozent der deutschen CISOs berichten, dass es eine regelmäßige Verpflichtung gibt, dem CEO und dem Vorstand über Cybersicherheitsrisiken und die Einhaltung von Vorschriften zu berichten. - 76 Prozent der CISOs sagen, dass ihre Sicherheitstools nur eingeschränkt in der Lage sind, Erkenntnisse zu liefern, die CEO und Vorstand nutzen können, um Geschäftsrisiken zu verstehen und Bedrohungen zu verhindern. - 79 Prozent der Unternehmen haben in den letzten zwei Jahren einen Vorfall im Bereich der Anwendungssicherheit erlebt. - 90 Prozent der CISOs erwähnen, dass Anwendungssicherheit ein blinder Fleck auf CEO- und Vorstandsebene ist. - 84 Prozent der CISOs sind der Meinung, dass DevSecOps-Automatisierung eine wesentliche Voraussetzung dafür ist, dass sie aufkommende Vorschriften wie das SEC-Cybersicherheitsmandat, NIS2 und DORA einhalten können. - 93 Prozent der CISOs sagen, dass DevSecOps-Automatisierung sogar noch wichtiger ist, um das Risiko von Schwachstellen, die durch KI entstehen, zu bewältigen. - 83 Prozent der CISOs haben Schwierigkeiten, die DevSecOps-Automatisierung voranzutreiben, weil sie auf mehrere Tools für Application Security angewiesen seien. Deutsche CISOs stufen die wichtigsten Prioritäten ihrer Unternehmen für das Cybersecurity-Management wie folgt ein: 1. Internes Risikomanagement/Monitoring (z. B. Benutzen von Mobilgeräten) 2. Anwendungssicherheit (z. B. Schwachstellenmanagement) 3. Betriebsunterbrechung (z. B. Denial-of-Service oder Systemausfall) Zusammenarbeit und DevSecOps-Automatisierung gegen KI-basierte Schwachstellen Die Notwendigkeit einer engeren Zusammenarbeit zwischen den Sicherheitsteams und der Führungsebene wird zusehends wichtiger, da KI Unternehmen einem zusätzlichen Risiko aussetzt. Weltweit sind CISOs besorgt über das Potenzial von KI, Cyberkriminelle in die Lage zu versetzen, neue Exploits schneller zu entwickeln und in größerem Umfang auszuführen (52 Prozent). Sie sind auch besorgt über das Potenzial von KI, Entwicklern eine schnellere Softwarebereitstellung mit weniger Aufsicht zu ermöglichen, was zu mehr Sicherheitslücken führen könnte (45 Prozent). 83 Prozent der CISOs sehen in DevSecOps-Automatisierung eine wichtige Lösung, um das Risiko von Schwachstellen, die durch KI entstehen, im Griff zu behalten. 71 Prozent sagen, dass DevSecOps-Automatisierung entscheidend ist, um sicherzustellen, dass adäquate Maßnahmen zur Risiko-Minimierung der Application Security getroffen wurden. Weitere 77 Prozent der CISOs meinen, dass XDR- und SIEM-Lösungen die Komplexität der Cloud nicht bewältigen können, da diesen Tools die Intelligenz fehlt, die eine weitreichende Automatisierung erfordert. Weitere 70 Prozent der CISOs sind der Meinung, dass der Einsatz mehrerer Tools für die Anwendungssicherheit zu betrieblicher Ineffizienz führt, da der Aufwand für die Auswertung der unterschiedlichen Datenquellen zu hoch ist. Abstimmung zwischen CEOs und CISOs „Cybersecurity-Vorfälle können verheerende Folgen für Unternehmen und ihre Kunden haben, daher steht das Thema zu Recht oben auf der Agenda der Vorstandsebene“, sagt Bernd Greifeneder, Chief Technology Officer bei Dynatrace. „Die Abstimmung zwischen Sicherheitsteams und Führungskräften voranzutreiben, stellt jedoch eine große Herausforderung dar. weil es schwierig ist, das Gespräch von Bits und Bytes auf konkrete Geschäftsrisiken zu lenken. CISOs müssen dringend einen Weg finden, diese Hürde zu überwinden und eine Kultur der gemeinsamen Verantwortung für die Cybersicherheit schaffen. Dies wird von entscheidender Bedeutung sein, um ihre Fähigkeit zur effektiveren Reaktion auf Sicherheitsvorfälle zu verbessern und ihr Risiko zu minimieren.“ „Der zunehmende Einsatz von KI ist ein zweischneidiges Schwert, das sowohl für digitale Innovatoren als auch für Angreifer Effizienzgewinne bringt“, so Greifeneder weiter. „Einerseits besteht ein größeres Risiko, dass Entwickler Schwachstellen durch KI-generierten Code einschleusen, der nicht ausreichend getestet wurde, und andererseits können Cyberkriminelle automatisierte und ausgefeilte Angriffe entwickeln, um diese auszunutzen.“ Laut Greifeneder müssten Unternehmen dringend ihre Sicherheitstools und -praktiken modernisieren, um ihre Anwendungen und Daten vor modernen, fortschrittlichen Cyber-Bedrohungen schützen zu können. Die effektivsten Ansätze würden auf einer einheitlichen Plattform aufbauen, die eine ausgereifte DevSecOps-Automatisierung forciere und KI nutze, um mit verteilten Daten in beliebigem Umfang umzugehen. Diese Plattformen würden die Erkenntnisse liefern, hinter denen sich das gesamte Unternehmen positionieren und mit denen es die Einhaltung strenger Vorschriften nachweisen könne, prognostiziert Greifeneder.

How CISOs can master the art of cyber security storytelling - CyberTalk

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Powerful stories can mean the difference between stagnant security that incites adverse outcomes and 10X better security that fully protects the environment.

Bridging the divide

Due to the volume of cyber threats and the impact that they can have, Chief Information Security Officers are now regularly invited to corporate board meetings. More than 90% of CISOs report attending such meetings – a trend that’s expected to continue as new cyber security rules take effect.

However, when asked to lead boardroom cyber security discussions, CISOs’ points or requests are commonly dismissed, as board members lack the context for and interest in the material at-hand.

This disconnect with and diminishment of cyber security widens a chasm that can potentially lead to egregious cyber security gaps and gaffes. If the board does not understand the need for email threat prevention tools, for example, a stealthy attack could undermine the organization.

Chief Storytelling Officer

In turn, the CISO needs to become the Chief Storytelling Officer – someone who can clearly convey cyber security concepts in a way that builds favorable sentiment and consensus around solutions.

As CISO Tom August adroitly notes, “…a confused mind always says no.” It is incumbent upon CISOs to help board members connect the dots in the language of business, not just the language of security.

Storytelling transforms the abstract into the tangible and comprehensible. Yet, the real feat is to ensure that cyber security storytelling not only informs and expands viewpoints, but that it inspires action.

Cyber security storytelling best practices

So, how can a CISO develop storytelling capabilities and transcend communication gaps?

The key lies in starting with the ‘why’. As many an expert has observed before, change of any kind is a participation sport. For people to participate, they must buy into it via the story that’s told about it. A story provides the opportunity to facilitate an emotional connection with the ‘why’.

CISO stories should also have a ‘throughline’ or a connecting thread that brings various ideas and examples together. The throughline is a core message that stakeholders should be able to easily convey to other stakeholders. It should be memorable and repeatable.

In telling a story, CISOs need to humanize cyber risks. CISOs need to show the impact of failing to take certain actions vs. moving forward with certain actions. Claims should be supported with data and metrics, although not with so many metrics that the audience loses interest.

The final messaging in a CISO’s story should point the board in the direction of the response that is required.

Nailing the narrative approach

Think of the narrative approach as savvy and strategic, rather than a watered-down version of reality for cyber security simpletons. The objective is to create a shared understanding, a shared sense of purpose and a shared interest in solving a business problem.

As cyber security threats and needs change, and as the business itself changes, so too should the narratives that cyber security leaders tell. CISOs should aim to continuously educate the audience and to bring them along on a shared journey.

In conceptualizing the CISO role as that of a Chief Storytelling Officer, at least in the context of board-level discussions, CISOs can reshape dynamics and empower organizations to make informed decisions that ultimately enrich cyber security and ensure resilience.

Cobalt Strike: Güvenli Bağlantı Noktalarında Saldırı ve Savunma Aracı

Güvenli bağlantı noktasına ne denir? bilgisayar ağlarında gerçekleştirilen iletişimlerin güvenliğini sağlayan bir kavramdır. Bilgi alışverişi için kullanılan iletişim kanallarının yetkisiz erişime karşı korunduğu, şifreleme ve kimlik doğrulama gibi güvenlik mekanizmalarının uygulandığı noktalardır. Ciso (Chief Information Security Officer) olarak da bilinen bilgi güvenliği yöneticileri, bu noktaların korunması ve savunmasını sağlamakla görevlidir.

Cobalt Strike ise hem saldırı hem de savunma amaçlı kullanılan bir araçtır. Orijinal olarak bir saldırı simülasyon çerçevesi olarak tasarlanmış olmasına rağmen, zaman içinde siber güvenlik uzmanları tarafından saldırı testleri ve savunma stratejilerinin uygulanması için yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır.

Cobalt Strike'in başarısı, güvenli bağlantı noktalarını hedef alan gelişmiş saldırı tekniklerini içermesinden kaynaklanmaktadır. Bu araç, sosyal mühendislik, kötü amaçlı yazılımların dağıtımı ve ağ üzerinde hareket etme gibi bir dizi hileli eylemi gerçekleştirebilir. Aynı zamanda saldırıları tespit etmek ve savunma mekanizmalarının etkinliğini test etmek için kullanıcılarına da imkanlar sunar.

Ancak Cobalt Strike'in sadece saldırı yönünü ele almamak gerekmektedir. Bu araç, siber güvenlik uzmanlarına savunma stratejilerini iyileştirme ve zayıflıkları tespit etme konusunda yardımcı olur. Savunma amaçlı kullanıldığında, güvenli bağlantı noktalarını daha iyi anlamak, saldırıları önlemek veya en azından erken tespit etmek için kritik bir adımdır. Cobalt Strike, bu noktada analiz yetenekleri ve tehdit istihbaratı ile kullanıcılara önemli bir avantaj sağlar.

Cobalt Strike, güvenli bağlantı noktaları üzerinde saldırı ve savunma amaçları için etkili bir araçtır. Güvenli bağlantı noktasının önemi anlaşıldığında, bu aracın saldırıları simüle ederek güvenlik açıklarını tespit etme ve savunma stratejilerini geliştirme konusunda nasıl yardımcı olduğu daha iyi anlaşılabilir. Ancak kullanımı sadece etik siber güvenlik testleri veya savunma amaçlarıyla sınırlanmalıdır.

CISO'lar İçin Cobalt Strike ve Güvenli Bağlantı Noktaları

Günümüzde dijital dünyanın karmaşıklığı, işletmelerin bilgi güvenliği konusunda daha fazla önlem almasını gerektiriyor. Bu bağlamda, Ciso (Chief Information Security Officer), şirketlerin bilgi güvenliğini sağlamak için kritik bir rol oynuyor. Bir CISO'nun sorumlulukları arasında, saldırılara karşı koruma mekanizmalarının oluşturulması, tespit etme ve yanıt verme süreçlerinin yönetilmesi yer alır.

Birçok şirket, siber saldırılardan korunmak için çeşitli güvenlik önlemleri uygular. Bunların arasında güvenli bağlantı noktaları da bulunur. Güvenli bağlantı noktasına ne denir? bir ağa veya sistem kaynağına erişim sağlamak için kullanılan kontrollü bir giriş noktasıdır. Bu nokta, yetkilendirme, kimlik doğrulama ve diğer güvenlik önlemleriyle korunur. Ayrıca, verilerin şifrelenmesi ve iletişimin güvence altına alınması da güvenli bağlantı noktalarının temel özelliklerindendir. Böylece, yetkisiz erişimlerin veya saldırıların engellenmesi hedeflenir.

Cobalt Strike, bilgisayar ağları üzerinde etkili bir saldırı testi ve sızma testi aracıdır. Bu yazılım, özellikle CISO'ların ve güvenlik uzmanlarının savunma stratejilerini değerlendirmelerine yardımcı olur. Cobalt Strike, saldırı simülasyonu da denilen bir yöntemle, gerçek dünya senaryolarını taklit ederek şirketlerin güvenlik açıklarını tespit etmelerine olanak sağlar.

Cobalt Strike'in en önemli özelliklerinden biri beacon adı verilen bir arka kapıdır. Beacon, hedef sisteme gizlice yerleştirilen küçük bir yazılımdır ve saldırganın uzaktan erişim sağlamasına olanak tanır. Bununla birlikte, bu araç sadece yetkilendirilmiş kullanıcılar tarafından kullanılabilir ve güvenli bağlantı noktalarını kullanarak iletişim kurar. Bu sayede, saldırganlar tarafından algılanması daha zor olur ve güvenlik sistemleri tarafından engellenmesi daha zor hale gelir.

Cobalt Strike, siber güvenlik uzmanları için ileri düzey bir araç olarak kabul edilir. Ancak, doğru amaçlarla ve etik kurallara uygun olarak kullanılmalıdır. CISO'lar, Cobalt Strike gibi araçların kullanımını denetleyerek, şirketlerinin bilgi güvenliğini daha da artırabilirler. Güvenli bağlantı noktaları ve siber savunma stratejileri, CISO'ların önem vermesi gereken temel unsurlardır. Bu şekilde, şirketler siber saldırılara karşı daha dirençli hale gelir ve verilerin güvenliği sağlanmış olur.
