Vulnerability And Threat Trends 2018 Mid-Year Update

This report examines trends in vulnerabilities, exploits and threats in order to better align your security strategy with the current threat landscape. Incorporating such intelligence to vulnerability management programs begins to put vulnerabilities in risk–based context and helps to focus remediation on vulnerabilities most likely to be used in an attack. This is an update to a report published in January 2018 to reflect mid–year trends. All statistics for 2018 reflect data from the first half of the year — January 1, 2018 through June 30, 2018.

National Exposure Index 2018

In 2016, Rapid7 Labs launched the National Exposure Index in order to get a measurable, quantitative answer to a fairly fundamental question: What is the nature of internet exposure—services that either do not offer modern cryptographic protection, or are otherwise unsuitable to offer on the increasingly hostile internet—and where, physically, are these exposed services located? Now in our third year, we continue this ongoing investigation into the risk of passive eavesdropping and active attack on the internet, and offer insight into the continuing changes involving these exposed services. We’ve also added a third dimension for exposure, “amplification potential,” in the wake of the disastrous memcached exposure uncovered in 2018.

Anatomy Of An Attack: Industril Control Systems Under Siege

From the report, “Over the past few year’s attackers have exploited this opportunity, and as documented in our Anatomy of an Attack (AOA) report, have compromised a wide variety of manufacturing control systems. This report documents five case studies which show how cyber attackers could gain access to manufacturing and utility facilities. We also detail the progression of the attacks which in some cases disabled operations for an extended period. In one of our case studies, losses were catastrophic with the impacted entity suffering losses of over 800,000 euro per day. This report will explain how the attacks happen, and once established, how the attackers can extend these command and control points to breach the institution’s records, blackmail and extort funds, or worse, disable ongoing operations of the facility over an extended period.” Read on to find out more.

The Anatomy of an Attack Surface: Five Ways Hackers are Cashing In

From the report, “For security teams, the sheer depth and breadth of what they need to defend may seem daunting, but thinking about the Internet from an attacker’s perspective —a collection of digital assets that are discoverable by hackers as they research their next campaigns— can put the massive scope of their organization’s attack surface into perspective. In this report, we’ll highlight five areas that we feel help to better frame the challenges faced in keeping the Internet a safe environment, all of which underline a need to broaden awareness of the potential risks involved to foster a more informed approach to cyber defense.”

The 5 Stages of DevOps Evolution: A Guide For CIOs

From the report, “This year we designed our DevOps survey to reveal what successful organizations actually do as they progress on their DevOps journeys. We discovered that they experience five distinct stages of DevOps evolution, which we have shared in full detail in our 2018 State of DevOps Report. This CIO guide digests our research into a report that’s just for you. We want to help you quickly understand what successful organizations do at each stage of DevOps evolution; which practices must be established at each stage (we call these the defining practices); and how you can best support your team throughout its DevOps journey to assure continuing progress and success.”

Threat Intelligence Report: Mobile Malware As A Service

Long gone are the simple days of malware threats only being associated with the computers on our desks or at our business offices. Today, we’ve all become accustomed to malware infiltrating our homes and pockets across a variety of platforms, be that our telephones, tablets, smart TV or even ‘connected’ devices such as our fridges. Whilst malware can be tailored for different platforms and differ in their abilities or functionality, the overall taxonomy remains very much the same. Back in the ‘halcyon’ days many malware authors released their wares for fun, ‘lulz’ in modern parlance, today most are criminally motivated and driven by financial gain, ideology, revenge and nation state doctrine. The objective of these attacks, and the compromised devices or networks, are typically similar and result in the threat actor gaining access, leading to the theft of confidential and personal information, or disrupting the operations and functionality.

NotPetya: One Year Later

“Almost immediately following the WannaCry cyberattack, the NotPetya malware affected countries and organisations around the globe that had strikingly similar repercussions and lessons to take away. This attack exemplified the chronic failings organisations and nation-states continue to have despite the blatant and ongoing threats cyberspace poses. With cyber threats remaining a critical issue for organisations, there is still a great deal organisations need to do to mitigate these for future resilience.”
