2023-10-23 10:00:00 | Planification de la continuité des activités: en regardant en arrière ou à l'avance Business continuity planning: Looking back or ahead (lien direct) |
In September 2023, cybercriminals launched an extensive ransomware attack that disrupted several major businesses in the Las Vegas Casino Business/District. The attack shook the city and stopped consumer goods and services for several hours. The attack influenced security, visitor services, and financial activities. Businesses lost money and long-term reputational risks ensued. Increasing op tempo A company can keep running after a disruption if it has a comprehensive Business Continuity Plan (BCP) that includes risk assessments, Business Impact Assessments (BIAs), and recovery strategies. A BCP is needed to minimize risk apprehensions, reduce financial loss, and maintain continuous business operations. A business impact analysis (BIA) must be part of Business Continuity Plans (BCPs). The plan sets recovery time and point goals, ranks the most important processes, and figures out how delays will affect business functions. BIAs help organizations figure out what tools and plans they need for recovery. Disaster Recovery Plans, or DRPs, lay out how a business will handle and rebound from a disaster. It includes tools for recovering systems, data, and infrastructure. A complete, well-tested DRP is necessary to keep problems to a minimum and get services back up and running quickly. To stay safe from cyber threats, businesses need to put their operating security footprint at the top of their list of priorities. In this way, networks, systems, apps, and data are kept safe. Data breaches and unauthorized access are less likely to happen with firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and encryption methods. Rearview The ransomware attack on the Las Vegas Casino Business/District in September 2023 shows that current risk management methods need to be looked at and updated. These steps cut down on operational disruptions, keep customer goods and services safe, and speed up the recovery of mission-critical systems. Being operationally ready is important for protecting your business and preparing for the unexpected. The most common way for threat players to take over a company\'s resources, assets, and people is through ransomware attacks. Recent statistics show that strong holding the most sought-after security principles can disrupt present business operations: The State of Ransomware Report in the US says that the average ransomware attack costs $8.1 million and takes 287 days to fix (Emsisoft, 2021). The number of ransom payments made by victims rose by 311% in 2020 (Crypto Crime Report, 2021). Going forward Ransomware attacks affect people all over the world, resulting in huge financial losses costs - compiled worldwide topping $20 billion in 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic has given hackers new avenues and threat vectors to hack, crack, and exploit. It is imperative for businesses to strengthen the home front to gain home-field advantage against cyber threat actors. Having a comprehensive, repeatable, verifiable disaster recovery and business continuity plan minimizes the economic im | Ransomware Tool Vulnerability Threat | ★★ | |

2023-10-19 10:00:00 | Pourquoi les organisations ne détectent-elles pas les menaces de cybersécurité? Why are organizations failing to detect cybersecurity threats? (lien direct) |
The content of this post is solely the responsibility of the author. AT&T does not adopt or endorse any of the views, positions, or information provided by the author in this article. With the changing security landscape, the most daunting task for the CISO and CIO is to fight an ongoing battle against hackers and cybercriminals. Bad actors stay ahead of the defenders and are always looking to find new vulnerabilities and loopholes to exploit and enter the business network. Failing to address these threats promptly can have catastrophic consequences for the organization. A survey finds that, on average, it takes more than five months to detect and remediate cyber threats. This is a significant amount of time, as a delayed response to cyber threats can result in a possible cyber-attack. One can never forget the devastating impacts of the Equifax breach in 2017 and the Target breach in 2013 due to delayed detection and response. This is concerning and highlights the need for proactive cybersecurity measures to detect and mitigate rising cyber threats. Amidst this, it\'s also crucial to look into why it is challenging to detect cyber threats. Why do organizations fail to detect cyber threats? Security teams are dealing with more cyber threats than before. A report also confirmed that global cyber attacks increased by 38% in 2022 compared to the previous year. The increasing number and complexity of cyber-attacks make it challenging for organizations to detect them. Hackers use sophisticated techniques to bypass security systems and solutions - like zero-day vulnerabilities, phishing attacks, business email compromises (BEC), supply chain attacks, and Internet of Things (IoT) attacks. Some organizations are unaware of the latest cyber threat trends and lack the skills and resources to detect them. For instance, hackers offer professional services like ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) to launch ransomware attacks. Surprisingly, two out of three ransomware attacks are facilitated by the RaaS setup, but still, companies fail to have a defensive strategy against them. Enterprises relying on legacy devices and outdated software programs are no longer effective at recognizing certain malicious activities, leaving the network vulnerable to potential threats. Additionally, the lack of trained staff, insider threats, and human errors are other reasons why many organizations suffer at the hands of threat actors. Besides this, much of the company\'s data is hidden as dark data. As the defensive teams and employees may be unaware of it, the hackers take complete advantage of dark data and either replicate it or use it to fulfill their malicious intentions. Moreover, cloud migration has rapidly increased in recent years, putting cybersecurity at significant risk. The complexity of the cloud environments, poorly secured remote and hybrid work environments, and sharing security responsibilities between cloud service providers and clients have complicated the situation. In addition, cloud vulnerabilities, which have risen to 194% from the previous year, have highlighted the need for organizations to look out for ways to strengthen their security infrastructure.

We’re pleased to announce the availability of the 2023 AT&T Cybersecurity Insights Report: Focus on Retail. The report examines the edge ecosystem, surveying retail IT leaders from around the world, and provides benchmarks for assessing your edge computing plans. This is the 12th edition of our vendor-neutral and forward-looking report. Last year’s focus on retail report documented how we secure the data, applications, and endpoints that rely on edge computing (get the 2022 report). Get the complimentary 2023 report. The robust quantitative field survey reached 1,418 security, IT, application development, and line of business professionals worldwide. The qualitative research tapped subject matter experts across the cybersecurity industry. Retail-specific respondents equal 201. At the onset of our research, we established the following hypotheses. Momentum edge computing has in the market. Approaches to connecting and securing the edge ecosystem – including the role of trusted advisors to achieve edge goals. Perceived risk and perceived benefit of the common use cases in each industry surveyed. The results focus on common edge use cases in seven vertical industries – healthcare, retail, finance, manufacturing, energy and utilities, transportation, and U.S. SLED- delivering actionable advice for securing and connecting an edge ecosystem, including external trusted advisors. Finally, it examines cybersecurity and the broader edge ecosystem of networking, service providers, and top use cases. The role of IT is shifting, embracing stakeholders at the ideation phase of development. Edge computing is a transformative technology that brings together various stakeholders and aligns their interests to drive integrated business outcomes. The emergence of edge computing has been fueled by a generation of visionaries who grew up in the era of smartphones and limitless possibilities. Look at the infographic below for a topline summary of key findings in the retail industry. In this paradigm, the role of IT has shifted from being the sole leader to a collaborative partner in delivering innovative edge computing solutions. In addition, we found that retail leaders are budgeting differently for edge use cases. These two things, along with an expanded approach to securing edge computing, were prioritized by our respondents in the 2023 AT&T Cybersecurity Insights Report: Edge Ecosystem. One of the most promising aspects of edge computing is its potential to effectively use near-real-time data for tighter control of variable operations such as inventory and supply chain management that deliver improved operational efficiency. Adding new endpoints is essential for collecting the data, but how they’re connected can make them vulnerable to cyberattacks. Successful cyberattacks can disrupt services, highlighting the need for robust cybersecurity measures. Edge computing brings the data closer to where decisions are made. With edge computing, the intelligence required to make decisions, the networks used to capture and transmit data, and the use case management are distributed. Distributed means things work faster because nothing is backhauled to a central processing area such as a data center and delivers the near-real-time experience. With this level of complexity, it’s common to re-evaluate decisions regarding security, data storage, or networking. The report shares emerging trends as retail continues exploring edge computing use cases. One area that’s examined is expense allocation, and what we found may | Ransomware Studies | ★★★ | |

Modern threats like phishing, ransomware and data breaches cast a dark cloud over businesses across sectors. For most bad actors, the goal of an attack is financial. As Proofpoint noted in the 2023 State of the Phish report, 30% of businesses that endured a successful attack experienced a direct monetary loss, such as a fraudulent invoice, wire transfer or payroll redirection. That is an increase of 76% year over year. A cyber insurance policy can protect you from the financial losses caused by cybersecurity incidents and data breaches. And when businesses pair cyber insurance with the prowess of Proofpoint solutions, they can build a formidable defense strategy. In this blog, we\'ll go over some best practices for choosing and managing you cyber insurance policy so you can protect yourself from risk. Actions that cyber criminals monetize Our research for the latest State of the Phish report shows that the three most common consequences of a cyber attack are: Data breach (44%) Ransomware infection (43%) Account compromise (36%) Notably, cyber criminals can monetize all these actions. Most common results of successful phishing attacks. (Source: 2023 State of the Phish report from Proofpoint.) Just one cybersecurity incident can cost tens of thousands of dollars. So, it\'s easy to understand why insurers see these incidents as too costly to cover in their general liability policies. But with cyber insurance, your business has a tool to help manage risk. Why cyber insurance can be a vital financial safety net While firewalls and endpoint protections remain vital, the truth is that a level of residual risk always exists. No matter how fortified your security is, breaches can happen due to ingenious adversaries, human error or just unfortunate circumstances. This is where cyber insurance comes to the rescue. It is the safety net that catches your business when your defenses fall short. It can help you cover costs like ransomware payments, legal fees, and costs associated with crisis management and revenue loss. In the graphic below, we can see how often cyber insurance covered losses from ransomware attacks among those surveyed for our 2023 State of the Phish report. Nearly three-quarters (73%) of businesses with cyber insurance policies said their insurers paid at least some of their ransomware-related losses. (Source: 2023 State of the Phish report from Proofpoint.) Cyber insurance best practices Now that we\'ve covered why cyber insurance can be a vital financial safety net, let\'s look at some essential best practices for cyber insurance. These measures can help your business become more effective at managing cybersecurity risks. Find an expert and ask for support and guidance. Specialized brokers are your allies in the intricate world of cyber insurance. Insurers vary in risk appetite, claim acceptance rates and expertise. Brokers have an in-depth grasp of this landscape, and they will assess your options meticulously. They will help ensure that the policy you choose is the right fit for your industry, size, risk profile and more. Be prepared for a rigorous assessment. Today, insurers want more insight into your company\'s security protocols and controls before they issue a cyber insurance policy. So preparedness is key. Be ready to provide evidence, like external audits, penetration test results and compliance certifications to insurers. If you implement access controls that insurers deem vital, such as multifactor authentication (MFA) and privileged access management (PAM), it may help to reduce your premiums. Closely examine coverage scope. Coverage specifics vary globally. But you will find that most cyber insurance policies cover a portion of losses from ransomware attacks and expenses linked to crisis responses. You need to have a thorough understanding of the breach scenarios your policy does or does not cover. Take note of any exclusions. Also, be sure to scrutinize services like breach investigation support, legal | Ransomware Tool Threat Guideline Cloud | ★★★ | |

2023-10-12 10:00:00 | L'évolution des attaques de phishing The evolution of phishing attacks (lien direct) |
A practical guide to phishing and best practices to avoid falling victim. Introduction Over the past several years, remote and hybrid work has quickly gained popularity amongst those seeking a to reduce the amount of time on the road or an improved work/life balance. To accomplish this, users are often working from multiple devices, some of which may be company issued, but others may be privately owned. Cyberattackers have leveraged this trend to bypass traditional security controls using social engineering, with phishing attacks being a favored tactic. In fact, the FBI Internet Crime Report issued in 2022 reported phishing as the top reported internet crime for the past 5 years. Its ability to persuade individuals to divulge sensitive information to seemingly familiar contacts and companies over email and/or SMS text messages has resulted in significant data breaches, both personal and financial, across all industries. Mobile phishing, in particular, is quickly becoming a preferred attack vector among hackers seeking to use them as a jump point to gain access to proprietary data within a company’s network. This article provides an overview of the origins of phishing, its impact on businesses, the types of mobile phishing attacks hackers employ, and ways in which companies can best defend themselves against such attacks. The origins of phishing The belief among many in the cybersecurity industry is that phishing attacks first emerged in the mid-90s when dial-up was the only means of gaining access to the internet. Hackers posing as ISP administrators used fake screen names to establish credibility with the user, enabling them to “phish” for personal log-in data. Once successful, they were able to exploit the victim’s account by sending out phishing emails to other users in their contact list, with the goal of scoring free internet access or other financial gain. Awareness of phishing was still limited until May 2000 when Love Bug entered the picture. Love Bug, a highly effective and contagious virus designed to take advantage of the user’s psyche was unleashed in the Philippines, impacting an estimated 45 million Window PCs globally. Love Bug was sent via email with the subject line reading “ILOVEYOU”. The body of the message simply read “Kindly check the attached LOVELETTER coming from me”. Users who couldn’t resist opening the message unleashed a worm virus infecting and overwriting user’s files with copies of the virus. When the user opened the file, they would reinfect the system. Lovebug elevated phishing to a new level as it demonstrated the ability to target a user’s email mailing list for the purpose of spamming acquaintances thereby incentivizing the reader to open his/her email. This enabled the lovebug worm to infect computer systems and steal other user’s passwords providing the hacker the opportunity to log-in to other user accounts providing unlimited internet access. Since Love Bug, the basic concept and primary goal of phishing tactics has remained consistent, but the tactics and vectors have evolved. The window of opportunity has increased significantly for hackers with the increased use of social media (e.g., Linkedin, Twitter, Facebook). This provides more personal data to the hackers enabling them to exploit their targets with more sophisticated phishing tactics while avoiding detection. Phishing’s impact in the marketplace today Phishing attacks present a significant threat for organizations as their ability to capture proprietary business and financial data are both costly and time consuming for IT organizations to detect and remediate.

The following is an excerpt from the Ransomware Survival Guide, our free handbook on preventing, managing and recovering from ransomware threats at every stage of the attack chain. This blog post provides general tips-it is not a substitute for professional cybersecurity and incident response services. The best ransomware strategy is to avoid it in the first place. But increasingly advanced attacks against the software supply chain and end users have shown that even the best-prepared companies can be caught out. Ransomware may not even be the first malware payload to infect your system, because many ransomware gangs now prefer to buy access to targets already infected with Trojans or loader malware. During an attack, you have short-term problems to resolve, like getting computers, phones and networks back online and dealing with ransom demands. But a panicked response won\'t help-and may make things worse. Here are some general steps you can take to contain the threat and start on the road to recovery. Questions to answer during a ransomware attack Before you react to an attack, it\'s important to take a step back and ask questions that will inform your response. Your answers should help network administrators scope the problem, devise an action plan and possibly curtail the spread. Who in your environment is compromised? How widespread are the infections? Is a threat actor actively scouting your environment, exfiltrating data or ready to drop ransomware on other devices? What network permissions do compromised accounts or devices have? Ransomware may have been installed only after attackers had already moved laterally within the network or stolen credentials and other data. What type of attack is it? Is this attack a secondary infection? Did it come from downloaders, remote access Trojans (RATs) or other malware installed on the infected machine or others on the network? Keep in mind that ransomware spreads quickly and is often a byproduct of other threats. If you see one infection, there are probably others that you don\'t see. Proactively look for other issues within your environment. Now as you take action, there are three general step to follow: Step 1: Isolate infected systems The second employees see the ransomware demand or notice something\'s odd-such as suddenly losing access to their own files-they should disconnect from the network and take the infected machine to the IT department. To prepare for this scenario, we recommend that you keep valuable data and systems separated so that a security issue on one system doesn\'t affect other systems. For example, your sensitive research or business data should not reside on the same server and network segment as your email environment. We advise against having employees reboot their system. Only the IT security team should attempt a reboot, and even that will work only in the event that it is “scareware,” or fake ransomware. "Scareware" is malware that appears to be ransomware but isn\'t. It may lock the user\'s screen with a ransom demand and payment instructions, but the data is not actually encrypted. In those scenarios, standard anti-malware tools can help. Knowing the difference isn\'t always easy. Determine the scope of the problem using threat intelligence and external incident responders or forensic analysts when necessary. While all ransomware is bad, some attacks are worse than others. Your response-including whether to pay the ransom-hinges on several factors. Step 2: Call law enforcement Ransomware-like other forms of theft and extortion-is a crime. Nobody has the right to seize devices, networks or data-let alone demand a ransom in exchange for it. Notifying the proper authorities is a necessary first step. Contact local or federal law enforcement right away. Special departments exist specifically to aid cyber crime victims, so do not be afraid to pick up your phone and call them. They are there to help you and may have access to decryption keys or information on payment recovery after | Ransomware Malware Tool Threat | ★★★ |
