The MOVEit Effect: Protecting Public-Facing Applications

Kiran Chinnagangannagari of Securin looks at the impact of the MOVEit exploit for answers in protecting public-facing applications. Organizations globally use public-facing applications every day to keep their businesses running. Servers, virtual private networks (VPNs), and application programming interfaces (APIs) are all common forms of third-party, public-facing applications that make accessing a service or completing work more efficient — but less secure. Many of these web-based applications can be used as a point of entry by bad actors to exploit vulnerabilities, gain access to proprietary information, and hold systems for ransom. Organizations involving strict compliance laws – like healthcare or finance – can be at elevated risk of damages from a data breach.

New OT Malware Possibly Related To Russian Emergency Response Exercises

Mandiant, a cybersecurity solutions provider, identified novel operational technology (OT) / industrial control system (ICS)-oriented malware, which they track as COSMICENERGY, uploaded to a public malware scanning utility in December 2021 by a submitter in Russia. The malware is designed to cause electric power disruption by interacting with IEC 60870-5-104 (IEC-104) devices, such as remote terminal units (RTUs), that are commonly leveraged in electric transmission and distribution operations in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. COSMICENERGY is the latest example of specialized OT malware capable of causing cyber physical impacts, which are rarely discovered or disclosed. What makes COSMICENERGY unique is that based on Mandiant’s analysis, a contractor may have developed it as a red teaming tool for simulated power disruption exercises hosted by Rostelecom-Solar, a Russian cyber security company. Analysis into the malware and its functionality reveals that its capabilities are comparable to those employed in previous incidents and malware, such as INDUSTROYER and INDUSTROYER.V2, which were both malware variants deployed in the past to impact electricity transmission and distribution via IEC-104.

The editors at Solutions Review examine some common EDR key features to look for when browsing for an enterprise solution.

Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) is a security solution designed to protect enterprises by detecting and responding to threats at the endpoint level. Endpoints refer to individual devices such as desktops, laptops, servers, and mobile devices, which are vulnerable targets for cyber-attacks. EDR solutions provide real-time monitoring, threat detection, and incident response capabilities to identify and mitigate security incidents at the endpoint level. EDR is vital in today’s threat landscape, which is constantly evolving and becoming more sophisticated. Traditional antivirus solutions alone may not be sufficient to defend against advanced attacks that evade signature-based detection. EDR solutions utilize advanced techniques like behavioral analytics, machine learning, and threat intelligence integration to effectively detect and respond to emerging threats. These solutions provide a proactive defense mechanism that can adapt to new attack vectors and detect unknown threats based on their behaviors and patterns.

It’s worth noting that the specific features and capabilities of an EDR solution may vary depending on the vendor and the particular requirements of an enterprise. However, these are some of the common EDR key features to look for when choosing a solution for your team.

11 EDR Key Features Your Solution Should Have

Some key features that an effective EDR solution should have to protect an enterprise include:

1. Real-time monitoring: The EDR solution should continuously monitor endpoint activities and events in real-time to identify any suspicious or malicious behavior.
2. Endpoint visibility: It should provide comprehensive visibility into all endpoints across the enterprise network, allowing security teams to see detailed information about each endpoint’s processes, applications, network connections, and user activities.
3. Threat detection: The EDR solution should employ advanced threat detection techniques, such as behavior analysis, machine learning, and signature-based detection, to identify and alert potential threats or indicators of compromise.
4. Incident response: When a security incident is detected, the EDR solution should enable quick and effective response actions, such as isolating compromised endpoints, terminating malicious processes, or quarantining suspicious files.
5. Forensic investigation: It should offer detailed forensic investigation capabilities, allowing security teams to conduct an in-depth analysis of security incidents, trace the root cause, and collect evidence for remediation and legal purposes.
6. Threat intelligence integration: Integration with external threat intelligence sources enables the EDR solution to leverage up-to-date information about known threats, indicators of compromise, and malicious IP addresses or domains to enhance its detection capabilities.
7. Behavioral analytics: The EDR solution should utilize behavioral analytics to establish baselines of normal endpoint behavior and detect anomalies that may indicate a security breach or suspicious activity.
8. Remediation and mitigation: It should provide automated or guided remediation workflows to assist security teams in mitigating threats, such as removing malware, patching vulnerabilities, or applying security policies.
9. Centralized management: An EDR solution should offer centralized management and reporting capabilities, allowing security teams to monitor and control the entire endpoint security infrastructure from a single console.
10. Integration with other security tools: Integration with other security solutions like SIEM (Security Information and Event Management), firewalls, or threat intelligence platforms can enhance the overall security posture and enable more comprehensive threat detection and response.
11. Continuous updates and support: The EDR solution should receive regular updates, including new threat signatures, detection algorithms, and software patches, to stay ahead of emerging threats and vulnerabilities.

In summary, EDR is vital to enterprise security– providing real-time monitoring, threat detection, incident response capabilities, enhanced visibility, and forensic analysis at the endpoint level. By focusing on endpoints, where attackers often target their initial attacks, EDR solutions play a crucial role in safeguarding an organization’s critical assets, preventing data breaches, and minimizing the impact of security incidents.

Solutions Review’s Contributed Content Series is a collection of contributed articles written by thought leaders in enterprise software categories. Dor Zvi of Red Access takes us through a tech crash course, breaking down new, emerging, secure browsing technologies.

In just the past few years, the rise of remote and hybrid work has turned the working world completely on its head — and with it, the fundamental rules of cybersecurity. With distributed workforces now becoming the norm, organizations of all sizes and stripes have found themselves struggling to shore up their defenses despite operating in what is essentially a “perimeterless” architecture.

Unsurprisingly, the average organization is not faring well as a result of this upheaval. For most, each day brings a flood of web connections from countless regions of the world, initiated by both employees and third-party contractors, who are using a mixture of managed and unmanaged devices to connect to their network. Together, these trends have created a quagmire of complexity and risk that has CISOs the world over scrambling for solutions.

Why Secure Browsing Solutions are Needed Now More Than Ever

One of the most significant side-effects of this push to remote and hybrid work is a phenomenon I like to call “browserization”— the phenomenon that’s seen web browsers take center stage as modern employees’ primary gateway to the working world. Today, web browsers function more like operating systems than just another application, forming the fundamental operating layer on which the modern employee’s core environment is built.

However, web browsers were never designed to play such a central role in the enterprise; and most certainly not from a security perspective. While leading browsers, like Chrome, Edge, and Firefox, do offer baked-in privacy and security features, they’re far from sufficient on their own.

As a result of this shift, we’ve seen the rate of browser-based attacks skyrocket in recent years. In fact, according to a study, nearly two-thirds of organizations have fallen victim to a browser-based attack within the past 12 months. At the same time, the number of browser-based zero-day vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild has increased dramatically, leaving little doubt as to threat actors’ newfound focus on this target.

Redefining the Web Browsing Attack Surface

It wasn’t long ago that web browsing took place only within the confines of a dedicated web browser (e.g. Chrome, Safari). Indeed, all web access happened inside this small category of purpose-built applications. However, that is no longer the case.

While linguistics do us no favors, it’s important to remember that not all web browsing occurs inside a web browser anymore. Applications like Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, for example, now feature what are commonly referred to as “in-app browsers”— or, small software components (e.g. WebView) that allow users to open URLs, view web pages, and otherwise navigate the web without ever leaving the application itself.

These in-app browsers have already been found to pose serious privacy and security risk to users, however, they are far from the only way in which modern application architectures extend the reach of browsing-based threats beyond the purview of the web browser itself. In reality, any application that allows users to access remote files, open hyperlinks, or relay messages or chats is effectively bringing the act of web browsing outside the realm of the web browser.

And there is a long list of applications fitting this description being widely used in today’s enterprise environment. And while many of these applications now have web app versions available — meaning they can be accessed through the browser — there are still many users who opt for the native desktop versions instead. And in doing so, extend the web browsing attack surface beyond the browser.

A Look at The Secure Browsing Status Quo: VPNs, SWGs, and RBI

So, what can CISOs do to secure this rapidly expanding attack surface? Unfortunately, the lion’s share of modern security tools are not up to the task. For many years, the secure browsing status quo has been dominated by two core categories: secure web gateways (SWGs) and remote browser isolation (RBI). While each of these solutions offers some degree of browsing security, each comes with its own set of shortcomings and trade-offs.

SWGs, which despite being easy to deploy and manage, are decidedly lacking in their security capabilities — struggling mightily with encrypted content, and often failing to detect threats that utilize dynamic content for obfuscation purposes. RBI tools, meanwhile, provide more robust security than SWGs, but do so at the expense of the user experience and with high cloud resource costs. And as any admin will tell you, even the most sophisticated security tools won’t do you any good if employees routinely work around them.

In the age of hybrid work, SWGs and RBIs usually require the usage of VPNs or VDIs, routing remote employees’ web traffic back through the office or headquarters’ network in order to “recreate” the traditional enterprise security perimeter.

Next-Gen Solutions: Secure Enterprise Browsers and More

This brings us to the new breed of secure browsing solutions — a diverse group of tools that has emerged in just the past few years with the aim of resolving the challenges associated with remote work and “browserization”.

Perhaps the most widely-covered group of tools in this category so far is the secure enterprise browser (SEB). These solutions aim to secure the web browsing vector by replacing traditional web browsers (e.g. Chrome, Safari) with a purpose-built, security-first web browser. These tools often compile multiple capabilities into the browser itself, such as policy controls, URL whitelists, and various types of threat detection.

While these solutions promise simplicity and comprehensive coverage, in reality, they too come with considerable trade-offs. First and foremost is the challenge of convincing employees to give up their preferred web browsers — which they are already familiar with, and which often have saved preferences, passwords, plug-ins, and other bits of customization. We all know that forcing the adoption of new tools is an uphill battle, and this becomes doubly true when talking about a tool as foundational and central to the user’s day-to-day responsibilities.

However, these types of solutions fall short in significant ways, including being inherently limited in scope. As we’ve discussed earlier, the modern web browsing attack surface extends well beyond the web browser itself, meaning that, by definition, a secure web browser can’t secure all of today’s browsing attack surface.

What’s Next in Secure Browsing…

As we all know, there’s no such thing as a perfect security solution. At the end of the day, most organizations will need to implement some combination of solutions in order to effectively and completely secure the web browsing attack surface. However, there are new solutions emerging that take alternative approaches to those listed above.

There are solutions out there that provide agentless, browser and device-agnostic solutions that secure the entire web browsing attack surface. This newest breed of secure browsing solutions is still decidedly new, and time will tell how they fit into this bustling ecosystem. However, one thing is for certain: in the age of flexible work, the most successful security solutions will be those that are flexible themselves— securing all users (in-office, remote, and third-party contractors), all devices (managed, unmanaged, and Bring Your Own Device), and all browsing activities (across any browser, and any web application); and ideally, without impeding the end-user experience.

What’s Up with WhatsApp?

In September 2022, the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CTFC) reached settlements totaling around $1.8 billion with 12 of Wall Street’s leading investment banks. The prominent institutions, which included Morgan Stanley, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, and Bank of America, were penalized for failing to monitor employees’ use of unauthorized messaging apps, like WhatsApp, with colleagues and clients. The probe followed on from JP Morgan’s $200 million fine in December 2021, with the floodgates opening. Authorities seem to have used that initial $200 million settlement figure as a yardstick for the industry, signifying the end of an unofficial grace period afforded firms adapting to the pandemic. Such monumental penalties have, of course, had a seismic impact on the financial services landscape, with the repercussions reaching far beyond the behemoths evidently being made an example of. But how did we get to this stage, and how can firms address the employee behaviors which are clearly no longer going to be tolerated?

Timing is Everything: Why Microsecond Visibility is Essential for Troubleshooting

By the time you finish reading this sentence, how many things have gone wrong in your network? And how would you know? The fact is, you probably wouldn’t– not if you’re using a traditional network monitoring system (NMS). Such systems typically analyze data only every minute, five minutes, or even less frequently– which is a lifetime in many enterprise verticals. Take financial services, for example. The European Union and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) have rules requiring traders to tightly synchronize their clocks. Under Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) 7340, for instance, U.S. firms must keep their clocks within one second of the official time from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Another example is the manufacturing sector, in which time-sensitive networking (TSN) is the foundation for highly automated factories and industrial robotics. Many TSN applications have latency limits ranging from two milliseconds (ms) to as little as 125 microseconds (μs).
