- 5. • More and more organizations are finding themselves in the crosshairs of various bad actors for a variety of reasons. • The number of organizations experiencing high profile breaches is unprecedented. • The “security arms race” cannot continue indefinitely as the economics of securing your organization is stacked so heavily in favor of those launching attacks that incremental security investments are seen as impractical. Threat landscape: Our new reality 84% of organizations breached had evidence of the breach in their log files… Source: Verizon Data Breach Report, 2014

- 8. “How would you change your strategy if you knew for certain that you were going to be compromised?” - Martin Roesch, 2013 Founder & CTO Sourcefire, Author SNORT
- 9. Infiltration (How they get in) • Man in the middle • Ad-hoc methods (sniffin packets) • Purpose-built devices (wifi pineapple) • Social Engineering • Easier than you think (who has the keys to your castle?) • Brute Force password enumeration • Used in iCloud hack • Watering Hole/Drive by/Spearphishing • Deploying RootKits/Trojans

- 11. Prevent Detect & Respond The basics are in place for most companies…but this alone is a ‘proven’ failed strategy. New capabilities to develop Get (Very) good at detection & response
- 12. Mitigation • Educate your users to prevent • Phishing, Social Engineering, etc • Monitoring • Netflow/Sflow • Service Availability • Direct Monitoring of traffic • Tagging • Prevention at proxy level to detect sensitive docs • Identification of known bad actors
- 13. Firewalls/Antivirus are not enough • Firewalls are usually not the target – too difficult to effectively penetrate • Endpoints are the target, usually via email, url redirects, misc malicious files, etc. • With 160,000 new malware samples seen every day, antivirus apps will not find every threat • Needs to be bolstered by regular and comprehensive monitoring
- 14. @AlienVault Asset Discovery • Active Network Scanning • Passive Network Scanning • Asset Inventory • Host-based Software Inventory Vulnerability Assessment • Network Vulnerability Testing • Remediation Verification Threat Detection • Network IDS • Host IDS • Wireless IDS • File Integrity Monitoring Behavioral Monitoring • Log Collection • Netflow Analysis • Service Availability Monitoring Security Intelligence • SIEM Event Correlation • Incident Response
- 15. AlienVault Labs Threat Intelligence • Weekly updates to correlation directives to detect emerging threats • Recent updates related to data exfiltration methods: • AV Malware, Ajax Security Team Data Exfiltration • AV Malware, Operation Machete FTP exfiltration • AV attack, malware sending exfiltrating command output
