2019-10-21 13:00:00 | Reviewing best practices for IT asset management in the cloud (lien direct) |
It used to be that businesses needing their own large computer networks had to do everything themselves. They had to buy all of their servers, all of their networking appliances. They needed the physical space on premises for all of their datacenters, the HVAC people to keep everything cool, and the massive electricity bills to keep all of that going.
But in the past several years, the growth of cloud services has been exponential. It’s great for the enterprise because depending on a business’s specific needs, they can either have everything but their local area network on the cloud, or they can have some hybrid of their own on premises network and a cloud provider or two, fully integrated. Either way, they can put at least some of their networking needs in the hands of a cloud provider such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud. That can save a company a lot of time, labor, space, and money. Plus, the agility and flexibility that cloud providers offer is great! Do you need to double the data capacity of your network as soon as possible? It’s much quicker and easier to change your cloud provider plan and do some adjustments on your end than it is to double the size of your on prem network. The cloud can be a lifesaver, but your IT people still need to know how to manage their computing assets there, especially when it comes to cybersecurity. Cloud asset management is a special matter, and it’s absolutely vital to understand.
What is cloud asset management?
Your IT assets are the hardware, software, and networking entities that your company has as tools and resources for their objectives. An excellent example of an IT asset is a database. Databases are very important, particularly in the backend of your applications.
With the implementation of cloud networks, these IT assets become cloud assets too. So instead of having your MySQL databases entirely on your on premises servers and data storage, you can have them run from the server and data storage capacity that your cloud provider offers your business.
But making sure your cloud-hosted assets function well and maintain security is its own area of knowledge: cloud asset management. There are challenges involved in cloud asset management which differ from managing assets on your own infrastructure. For instance, developers and administrators often don’t use the security tools that their cloud providers offer them. Also, visibility into your assets can be more difficult in the cloud. You can’t secure what you can’t see!
Cloud asset management best practices
There’s a lot to learn when it comes to cloud asset management. It can seem overwhelming to start. Thankfully, there are some best practices to keep in mind which will provide you with a strong foundation for properly handling the cloud.
Monitor your cloud as thoroughly as possible
As I mentioned, visibility in cloud networks can be a special challenge. There’s also the everyday performance of your network to consider. You won’t be physically inside of your cloud provider’s datacenter, so you’ll need to be able to see as much as possible with monitoring tools. This isn’t all directly security related. You need to make sure that your provider honors your Service Level Agreement. Watch your bandwidth and make sure that it suits your organization’s needs at all times. Make sure all of your cloud assets have excellent availability, as much uptime as possible. You could have thousands of users depending on your cloud at any given second. Monitor thoroughly and constantly to make sure that your cloud is always capable and reliable.
Redundancy and automation are your friends
Redundancy goes a long way when it comes to keeping good uptime and everything working properly. There should be as few single points of failure as possible, preferably no |

2019-09-30 03:00:00 | Marriott data breach FAQ: How did it happen and what was the impact? (lien direct) | In late 2018, the Marriott hotel chain announced that one of its reservation systems had been compromised, with hundreds of millions of customer records, including credit card and passport numbers, being exfiltrated by the attackers. While Marriott has not disclosed the full timeline or technical details of the assault, what we do know tells us quite a bit about the current threat landscape - and offers lessons for other enterprises on how to protect themselves.We answer 10 frequently asked questions.When was the Marriott breach? On September 8, 2018, an internal security tool flagged as suspicious an attempt to access the internal guest reservation database for Marriott's Starwood brands, which include the Westin, Sheraton, St. Regis, and W hotels. This prompted an internal investigation that determined, through a forensics process that Marriott has not discussed in detail, that the Starwood network had been compromised sometime in 2014 - back when Starwood had been a separate company. Marriott purchased Starwood in 2016, but nearly two years later, the former Starwood hotels hadn't been migrated to Marriott's own reservation system and were still using IT infrastructure inherited from Starwood, an important factor that we'll revisit in more detail later. | Data Breach Tool Threat | ||

2019-09-13 20:18:00 | Defining the “R” in Managed Detection and Response (MDR) (lien direct) | This spring, as the product and security operations teams at AT&T Cybersecurity prepared for the launch of our Managed Threat Detection and Response service, it became obvious to us that the market has many different understandings of what “response” could (and should) mean when evaluating an MDR solution. Customers typically want to know: What incident response capabilities does the underlying technology platform enable? How does the provider’s Security Operations Center team (SOC) use these capabilities to perform incident response, and, more importantly, how and when does the SOC team involve the customer's in-house security resources appropriately? Finally, how do these activities affect the return on investment expected from purchasing the service? However, in our review of the marketing literature of other MDR services, we saw a gap. All too often, providers do not provide sufficient detail and depth within their materials to help customers understand and contextualize this crucial component of their offering. Now that we’ve introduced our own MDR solution, we wanted to take a step back and provide our definition of “response” for AT&T Managed Threat Detection and Response. Luckily, Gartner provides an excellent framework to help us organize our walk-through. When evaluating an MDR service, a potential customer should be able to quickly understand how SOC analysts, in well-defined collaboration with a customer’s security teams, will: Validate potential incidents Assemble the appropriate context Investigate as much as is feasible about the scope and severity given the information and tools available Provide actionable advice and context about the threat Initiate actions to remotely disrupt and contain threats *Source: Gartner Market Guide for Managed Detection and Response Services, Gartner. June 2018. Validation, context building, and Investigation (Steps 1-3) It’s worth noting that “response” starts as soon as an analyst detects a potential threat in a customer’s environment. It stands to reason then that the quality of threat intelligence used by a security team directly impacts the effectiveness of incident response operations. The less time analysts spend verifying defenses are up to date, chasing false positives, researching a specific threat, looking for additional details within a customer's environment(s), etc., the quicker they can move onto the next stage of the incident response lifecycle. AT&T Managed Threat Detection and Response is fueled with continuously updated threat intelligence from AT&T Alien Labs, the threat intelligence unit of AT&T Cybersecurity. AT&T Alien Labs includes a global team of threat researchers and data scientists who, combined with proprietary technology in analytics and machine learning, analyze one of the largest and most diverse collections of threat data in the world. This team has unrivaled visibility into the AT&T IP backbone, global USM sensor network, Open Threat Exchange (OTX), and other sources, allowing them to have a deep understanding of the latest tactics, techniques and procedures of our adversaries. Every day, they produce timely threat intelligence that is integrated directly into the USM platform in the form of correlation rules and behavioral detections to automate threat detection. These updates enable our customers’ to detect emergent and evolving threats by raising alarms for analyzed activity within public cloud environments, on-premises networks, and endpoints.
