Cyber Security - IDS/IPS is not enough
8 likes4,909 views
The document discusses the inadequacy of Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) in cybersecurity, highlighting recent cyber attack trends and examples of breaches. It emphasizes that many organizations still lack robust security measures and a clear understanding of evolving threats, such as Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs). The latter sections introduce network recording and forensic solutions as essential components for improving incident response and understanding attacks.

- 4. Key 2011 Cyber Attacks • Sony Playstation Network (April 2011) ‒ Account information, passwords and credit card numbers breached for 70M users ‒ Direct cost of $170M (Sony) ‒ Indirect cost estimated at 10 to 100x • The IMF (International Monetary Fund) (June 2011) ‒ Hack resulted in the loss of a “large quantity” of data, documents and email • Citigroup (June 2011) ‒ More than 200,000 customer accounts hacked ‒ Poor web application design made it easy • Android Apps ‒ More than 50% of the third-party apps on Google's official Android Market contained a Trojan called DroidDream, designed to steal personal data Cyber Security – IDS/IPS Is Not Enough © WildPackets, Inc. 4
- 5. ―2011 - The Year of the Hack‖ • So named by IT security experts • 60% of IT executives fear Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) attacks • 28% fear theft and disclosure from insiders • 60% use either a written ―honor system‖ security policy or have none at all • 51% allow employees to download/install software • Companies continue to allow employees to engage in risky behaviors Based on Bit9’s Third Annual Endpoint Survey of 765 IT executives http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20110830006206/en/%E2%80%9CYear- Hack%E2%80%9D-Survey-Reveals-Enterprises-Concerned-%E2%80%9CAdvanced Cyber Security – IDS/IPS Is Not Enough © WildPackets, Inc. 5
- 6. Advanced Persistent Threat The New Buzzword for 2011/2012 • A long-term pattern of sophisticated hacking attacks aimed at governments, companies, and political activists • Advanced – Full spectrum of techniques ‒ Not all “advanced” (e.g. malware) ‒ Can develop more advanced tools as required ‒ Combines multiple targeting methods ‒ Focus on operational security not found in less advanced threats • Persistent – Priority to a specific task ‒ Not opportunistically seeking information for financial gain ‒ A “low-and-slow” approach is typical ‒ Maintain long-term access to the target • Threat – Capability and intent ‒ Executed by coordinated human actions vs. automation ‒ Specific objective with skilled, motivated, organized and well funded entities Cyber Security – IDS/IPS Is Not Enough © WildPackets, Inc. 6

- 15. Cyber Attacks Similarities and Differences © WildPackets, Inc. www.wildpackets.com
- 16. Example #1: Heartland Payment Systems • SQL injection – entering a set of SQL commands into a text entry field on the website • Access then gained to key servers • Malware then planted to collect credit and debit card numbers • 130M accounts breached • Calls into question PCI compliance and monitoring • Potential upside – end to end security for financial transactions now being more seriously investigated Cyber Security – IDS/IPS Is Not Enough © WildPackets, Inc. 16
- 17. Example #2: Twitter Breach • Compromise personal Gmail account of employee • Reset Gmail password so user is unaware • Leverage personal email account to gain access to corporate email account (hosted by Google) • Read email, attachments, etc., finding things like: ‒ Sensitive documents ‒ Other user names and passwords (or at least clues) • Fan out into other services based on acquired info: ‒ Cell phone records ‒ MobileMe ‒ Amazon/iTunes Cyber Security – IDS/IPS Is Not Enough © WildPackets, Inc. 17
- 18. Example #3: MSBlaster Worm • Exploits Microsoft Windows RPC Vulnerability ‒ Microsoft RPC vulnerability using TCP Port 135 • Infected machines will attempt to propagate the worm to additional machines ‒ Infected machines will also attempt to launch a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack against Microsoft on the following schedule: • Any day in the months ‒ September - December • 16th to the 31st day of the following months: ‒ January - August Cyber Security – IDS/IPS Is Not Enough © WildPackets, Inc. 18

- 20. What is IDS and IPS? • IDS – Intrusion Detection System ‒ Typically passive ‒ Detects and alarms on suspected intrusions using signature- based, statistical anomaly based, and/or stateful protocol analysis detection ‒ Has a reputation for false positives • IPS – Intrusion Prevention System ‒ Either works alongside and IDS, or has embedded IDS capabilities of its own ‒ Installed in-line ‒ Actively prevents intrusions by dropping the malicious packets, resetting the connection and/or blocking the traffic from the offending IP address Cyber Security – IDS/IPS Is Not Enough © WildPackets, Inc. 20
- 21. Limitations of IDS/IPS • No security product is 100% • Risk mitigation – what’s your risk tolerance? • On average 120K malware incidents identified per day by IDS/IPS • 5 - 20 new malware strains missed every day • Effectiveness vs. ease-of-use • Effectiveness vs. cost • Highly secure vs. high throughput Cyber Security – IDS/IPS Is Not Enough © WildPackets, Inc. 21
- 22. And What If … • Data breaches are occurring from within the organization? • A breached mobile device or infected personal laptop brings outside threats inside the network which goes undetected by most IDS/IPS? • Any rogue or unauthorized devices tryies to access the network internally from behind the firewall? Cyber Security – IDS/IPS Is Not Enough © WildPackets, Inc. 22
- 23. IDS/IPS – Key Questions • Will you sacrifice security for cost? • Where does the IDS/IPS provider get their rule set? • How much configuration is required? • How often is the rule set updated? • How well do they cover malware? • How well do they cover mainstream vulnerabilities? • How fast do they supply patches to update critical bugs?

- 27. Network Recording • Requires the lossless capture and storage of extremely large data volumes • Focus on Enterprise vs. Lawful Intercept ‒ Concerned with the process of reconstructing a network event • Intrusion such as a “hack” or other penetration • Network or infrastructure outage ‒ Provides a recording of the actual incident • Based on live IP packet data captures ‒ A new way of looking at trace file analysis ‒ Continues from where traditional network troubleshooting ends Cyber Security – IDS/IPS Is Not Enough © WildPackets, Inc. 27
