Building Castles in the Sky: Advanced Persistent Responses

Tom Kellerman, US Vice President of Cybersecurity, Trend Micro
Cyberspace is not a pacific environment; there is a fight for power in a modern-day colonial movement. As the cyber kill chain has evolved so too must our defenses. The digital insider threat aka the APT (advanced persistent threat) will metastasize in the cloud computing environment of 2012. The use of mobile devices and cloud computing creates a perfect storm for the exfiltration of sensitive data. To tap into the power of Web-based, wireless, and other emerging technologies, and thus build stouter virtual castles in the sky, we must appreciate the evolution of blended threats from the simple virus of yesteryear to the virulent MALFI (multifaceted malware with remote file inclusion, local file inclusion, cross-server attack, and remote code execution) botnet attacks of 2012.

Rather than endorsing security models that drive us to construct additional defenses and filters that have an increasingly slim chance of stopping advanced threats, the focus within IT development and security must shift to emphasize more aggressive, proactive self-assessment through which “offense can inform defense.” To achieve an advanced persistent response (APR) on our networks, we must blend our cyber defenses so as to realize deep security.

This presentation will focus on the evolution of the staged and blended attacks and share expertise on organizational strategies and tactics to mitigate risks in the short term and over time.

  • Virtualization, cloud computing, hybrid environments and BYOD are here to stay. When implemented successfully, these solutions can transform the way businesses operate and lower the OPEX and CAPEX costs of IT departments. However, these major IT trends cannot be considered separately: virtualization and cloud are often linked, and needs for anytime anywhere connectivity and mobile workforce enablement won't wait. This is why it's essential to have a holistic approach and address the business, technology and financial implications of today for tomorrow's needs.

  • The Lazy Attacker: Defending Against Broad-based Cyber Attacks with Unified & Collaborative Defenses

    Advanced Persistent Attacks (APTs) get most of the attention from the cyber security community because, as defenders, we want to be vigilant against the most insidious techniques. However, this unilateral mindset ignores a much less interesting reality. Generally, cyber criminals are as lazy as criminals in the “real world.” What do we mean by lazy? Attackers will use the “lowest common denominator” method against the widest range of IP addresses from the same source set of IP addresses - which means that sharing information about their methods with others, and implementing simple defenses are best practices.

    Adjusting your focus from the “shiny object” of APTs to those broad-based threats can help prioritize your own defenses and optimize your incident response program. Attend this webinar to hear directly from Jaime Blasco, Director of AlienVault Labs, on how you can:

    * Understand the common exploit methods of the “lazy attacker”
    * Review the benefits of a collaborative approach to threat intelligence
    * Prioritize defensive tactics and remediation activities
    * Implement a unified, simplified approach to threat management
