Prioritization To Prediction: Volume 3: Winning the Remediation Race

From the report, “The Prioritization to Prediction series is an ongoing research initiative between Kenna Security and the Cyentia Institute. The first volume proposed a model for predicting which of the numerous hardware and software vulnerabilities published each month were most likely to be exploited, and thus deserving of priority remediation. The second volume sought to apply and test that theoretical model using empirical data collected on billions of observed vulnerabilities. We ended the last report by analyzing vulnerability remediation timeframes across a sample of 12 firms. This third volume picks up where we left off and expands the analysis to roughly 300 organizations of different types and sizes. We leverage a technique called survival analysis to draw out important lessons about remediation velocity and capacity, concepts we explore and define during the course of this report. Overall, our goal is to understand what it means to survive—nay thrive—in the race of vulnerability remediation.” Read on to find out more.

2018 State Of The Firewall

The data in this survey suggests that the role of the firewall in network security remains critical even as the network security landscape undergoes significant evolution and expansion. Within the enterprise, organizational and departmental roles and responsibilities with respect to network security in the new technology landscape remain in flux. At the same time, parameters that bound traditional definitions of ‘firewall’ are subject to change as emerging platforms and devices acquire characteristics that were previously in the domain of traditional firewalls. The totality of this complexity overlays and exacerbates pre-existing challenges in managing firewalls rules and protocols and points to the need for innovative solutions to reign in complexity and ease the burdens on overextended network security professionals.

2018 Application Security Report

From the report, “Business applications are critical business resources for companies of all sizes — and they’re increasingly under attack. To gain deeper insights into the state of application security, Cybersecurity Insiders conducted an in-depth study in partnership with the 400,000 member Information Security Community on LinkedIn. This report is the result of a comprehensive survey of 437 cybersecurity professionals designed to reveal the latest application security trends, how organizations are protecting applications, and what tools and best practices IT cybersecurity teams are prioritizing to find, fix and prevent vulnerabilities in next-gen applications.”

Challenging State Of Vulnerability Management Today

In the last two years, businesses and governments have seen data breaches like Equifax and Marriott impact 100s of millions of accounts each, as well as critical intellectual property (IP) and core operations. A global survey of 600+ cybersecurity leaders and professionals by Ponemon Institute shows that 67% of organizations are not confident that they can avoid a data breach, and what the primary security and IT challenges that are causing this. The survey also provides fundamental recommendations that can reduce breach risk through innovating and improving a vulnerability management program.

Defending Against Cryptojacking In AWS, Azure, and GCP

From the report, “As the hype and soaring price of cryptocurrency has drawn in thousands of new players worldwide, generating a single bitcoin takes a lot more servers than it used to. It is becoming an arms race amongst miners for access to CPUs, GPUs and even electricity. As a result, we are starting to see a cryptojacking epidemic and hackers aren’t sparing anyone; they are targeting everyone from consumers to large multinational organizations.”

Quantifying The Attacker's First-Mover Advantage

This report measures the difference in days between when an exploit for a vulnerability becomes publicly available (Time to Exploit Availability) and when a vulnerability is first assessed (Time to Assess). A negative delta indicates that the attacker has an opportunity to exploit a vulnerability before the defender is even aware of the risk. The sample set used for this analysis is based on the 50 most prevalent vulnerabilities from nearly 200,000 unique vulnerability assessment scans.

Cyber Defender Strategies: What Your Vulnerability Assessment Practices Reveal

In this report we analyze real-world end-user vulnerability assessment (VA) behavior using a machine learning (ML) algorithm to identify four distinct strategies, or “styles.” These are based on five VA key performance indicators (KPIs) which correlate to VA maturity characteristics. This study specifically focuses on key performance indicators associated with the Discover and Assess stages of the five-phase Cyber Exposure Lifecycle. During the first phase – Discover – assets are identified and mapped for visibility across any computing environment. The second phase – Assess – involves understanding the state of all assets, including vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and other health indicators. While these are only two phases of a longer process, together they decisively determine the scope and pace of subsequent phases, such as prioritization and remediation. The actual behavior of each individual enterprise in the data set, in reality, exhibits a mixture of all VA Styles. For the purposes of this work, enterprises are assigned to the specific style group with which they most closely align. We provide the global distribution of VA Styles, as well as a distribution across major industry verticals.

Securing The Modern Vehicle: A Study of Automotive Industry Cybersecurity Practices

Synopsys and SAE International partnered to commission this independent survey of the current cybersecurity practices in the automotive industry to fill a gap that has existed far too long—the lack of data needed to understand the automotive industry’s cybersecurity posture and its capability to address software security risks inherent in connected, software-enabled vehicles. Ponemon Institute was selected to conduct the study. Researchers surveyed 593 professionals responsible for contributing to or assessing the security of automotive components.

Critical Watch Report: The State Of Threat Detection 2018

From the report, “With its customer base of over 4,000 organizations, Alert Logic has first-hand insight into the state of threat detection and response. Drawing from more than a billion security anomalies, millions of security events, and over a quarter million verified security incidents from April 2017 to June 2018, our research has identified five key insights that every business leader, IT leader, and IT practitioner should be aware of: 1. The initial phases of the cyber killchain are merging to accelerate targeted attacks 2. Industry and size are no longer reliable predictors of threat risk 3. Attack automation and “spray and pray” techniques are aiming at everything with an IP address 4. Cryptojacking is now rampant 5. Web applications remain the primary point of initial attack” Read on to find out more.

The Life of a Zero day

From the report, “We live in incredible times, where we trust more of our lives to machines that are becoming ever more powerful. We cannot leave the doors to our “digital kingdoms” wide open. Adversaries, both nation-states and for-profit malicious actors, have access to a seemingly unlimited supply of “all access keys”. Our responsibility is to revoke and disable these keys or to at least make that access as difficult as possible through thoughtful defense-in-depth security controls. These controls should not just rely solely on the “next gen” version of a well-known technology. Truly different types of protection and detection technologies need to be layered in order to create the strongest possible defense.” Read on to find out more.
