7:00 PM Session One: Internet of Things, IoT, Reducing Vulnerability and Unauthorized Endpoints by Implementing Least Privilege

Abstract: IT security organizations big and small are concerned about threats from applications, endpoints, especially unmanaged endpoints, and IoT devices. They want to reduce the number of unknown endpoints/IoT devices and are concerned about unauthorized endpoints in the network.

They are concerned about the vulnerability of these endpoints and are wondering how to detect IoT device compromise. Protecting IoT devices, to segment them with least privileged access is a real challenge.
Further, the organization must make sure sensitive data sent by these devices is protected while at rest and in motion.
Finally, they must address privacy concerns on the data stored, and data processing throughout the product lifecycle.
With all these challenges, where does the organization start? As security professionals, how do we onboard and secure these IoT devices?
This discussion provides approaches that help to identify, gather context, understand behavior, and implement necessary segmentation of IoT devices.

8:00 PM to 9:00 PM Session Two: The Failure of Security to Protect

Jacques Remi Francoeur (MBA, M.A.Sc., B.A.Sc.) Presents Security and Assurance Working Group, Digital Currency Global Initiative

The Failure of Security to Protect
The total global economy in 2018 was estimated to be $86 Trillion. It is estimated that there are 4,5B people connected to the Internet, as of June 2019, based on a population of 7,7B, a 58.8% Internet penetration. The Global Risks Report 2019 outlines the greatest risks facing the world, cyber threats are the 4th most significant societal risk that is by no means under control. As the world accelerates into the 4th Industrial Revolution, according to the ITU Global Cybersecurity Index 2018, 73% of the Internet connected world today is unprotected while the remaining 27%, who think they are protected, spend 80% of the global security spending estimated to be $300B by 2023.
Is Protection just for the Rich?
Today, people extending themselves into the digital world are highly exposed to potential significant harm and have no way to detect or prevent the threat.
Should Digital Protection be a Human Right!
Security Inclusion Now! is a call-to-action to urgently drive global action to prevent an eventual untenable global situation that threatens the promises of the 4th industrial revolution – the increasing digital protection divide, the gap between the demand for protection and the available supply.
The asymmetry of the problem is ironic. When we look at a rapidly morphing, well-funded and increasingly sophisticated and difficult to attribute threat, in relation to our current industry capability, there are significant limitations that if not addresses will inherently prevent society from achieving the required “one protection for all” with enough assurance at a reasonable cost.
In a highly interconnected world, no one is protected unless everyone is.
The presenter will explore a new way forward to transition from notional to precision security and from security information in a world of friction to security knowledge in a frictionless world. This will enable those less expert to participate in the protection of their organizations.

Security Control Expressions (SCE) Store Security Knowledge

Everyday security professionals spend countless hours searching for information that is highly distributed and fragmented. This highly subjective and non-interoperable information must be interpreted, synthesized, and communicated to stakeholders.

All matters security can be described uniquely & unambiguously by a simple “expression” model between 6 actors engaged in 5 relationships. The model is published by the ITU, Study Group 17: Security as Technical Report Unified Security Model.

• Genesis Cybersecurity Program is the practitioner training program on the SCE Model innovation. The program involves the transfer & institutionalization of the capability to different centers of expertise for the development of a sustainable & growing security training & knowledge capture capability.
• SINOW Security Validation Platform is a software tool that emulates the SCE model. A nested and iterative process stores security knowledge which is then available frictionlessly to all other dependent practitioners for knowledge verification or their specialized dependent knowledge contribution. It transforms Security & Compliance information in a world of friction to Security & Compliance knowledge in a frictionless world. By enabling instant and frictionless navigation & visualization of any security control, its state, relationships, and dependencies, the security practitioner is free to focus on security and not finding information.

Speaker: Robin Basham on “NIST SP-800-53 r5 – The Control Reference Layer: Taming the Beast”

Abstract: NIST SP-800-53 r5 was a long labor with a few false starts. FedRamp dependencies still include r4, however, 75 new control, enhancement or attribute elements of r5 exist in the SSP – NIST SP-800-53B.

• NIST 800-53 is a common reference layer used in mapping nearly all other Cybersecurity Frameworks –> compounding issues in failed updates to mapping
• NIST Addendum to Mapping ISO/IEC 27001 missing Cloud, Privacy, Processing
• Examining common pitfalls in notation for ISO and NIST Standards? How can these be overcome?
• Exploring data elements necessary to mapping – a walk through the schema elements (reminder to look at Schema.Org)
• NIST 800-53 r5 v. r4
• NIST 800 171 r2
• NIST 800 172 Enhanced Security Requirements for Protecting Controlled Unclassified Information; A Supplement to NIST Special Publication 800-171
• ISO/IEC 27001:2013 €, as implemented with
• ISO/IEC 27002:2013 €, including certification for Cloud, Privacy, and PII Processors
• ISO/IEC 27017:2015 € 27002 for cloud services
• ISO/IEC 27018:2019 € Information technology — Security techniques — Code of practice for protection of personally identifiable information (PII) in public clouds acting as PII processors
• ISO/IEC 27701:2019 € Security techniques — Extension to ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27002 for privacy information management — Requirements and guidelines

Eric is a career application security expert (security consulting, static analysis, and dynamic analysis).

Members of the ISC2 East Bay and ISACA Silicon Valley Community on April 29th had an opportunity to review reasons to quickly adopt the newly released Cloud Security Alliance, Cloud Controls Matrix V4.0 Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM), a Cybersecurity Control Framework (cloudsecurityalliance.org). As part one of a two-part discussion, that evening covered some of the common pitfalls that plague our efforts as a community, and as promised, this May 13th, 2-hour event offers a chance to continue with a deeper technical dive.

Outline

What Major Regulations Completely Changed over the last 24 months? Why update everything now? (What’s the domino effect of waiting?) Which are the key new requirements, such as Cryptographic Controls and new legal considerations for IoT? How are DevOps and SecOps better represented in the new standards? (NIST/CCM) Who and where are the working groups we can interact with to accomplish new mapping? What are the common pitfalls in the notation for ISO and NIST Standards? How can these be overcome?

Here’s are the Part One Slides: CSA CCM 4 Robin Basham ISACA SV April 28 2021

This Discussion covers that:

Major Cloud Providers expect to use ©Cloud Security Alliance, CCM 4.0 as the backbone supporting their Security Programs Policies, Programs, Audits

Leveraging existing AICPA SOC 2, HITRUST, PCI DSS V3.2.1, FedRamp, DFARS CMMC, ISO/IEC 27001 plus Privacy, Processing and Cloud requires a detailed understanding of these frameworks – i.e., experience completing engagements to do this work.*

Creating useable cyber framework mapping is an exercise that drives common language across all Policies and Programs and is necessary to meaningful resilience and compliance. Volunteers generally can’t do it. Is increasingly necessary (CMMC)

The available mappings offered by AICPA, NIST, HITRUST, and CSA have proven un-useful. As a community, it’s up to us to restore consumer confidence in using CCM 4.0 as a mapped framework. We also seek to support NIST expanded efforts for SP-800-53 r5, SP-800-53B, NIST SP-800-171r2, SP-800-172 Cybersecurity

So, what’s in the new standard and why is mapping so hard?

How can we effectively map this -> to that?

The Slides! Zero Trust Data Protection

For those who missed the event, here’s the playback link.

https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/recording/7443606173304303885

Zero Trust Data Protection
A new approach to protecting data is being adopted across organizations that have a remote workforce accessing cloud applications (and data) outside of their network. The essentials of Zero Trust Data Protection are simple and powerful:

• Never trust, always verify – continuously
• Identity: Conditional access to web, apps, app instances is based on user, device, application risk
• Applications: Contextual activity controls are given within each and every app based on these risk levels
• Data: Advanced cloud data protection policy actions are enforced, with user coaching, to protect sensitive data, across documents, images, screenshots, etc.

Attend this session to learn about the fundamentals of zero trust data protection along with a live demo (powered by Netskope) of real-world use cases.

Title: How to Achieve Least Privilege at Cloud Scale

2.11.2021 7 PM – 9 PM Coming Soon, Playback Link.

Presentation

Three steps to achieving true cloud security with Cloud Infrastructure Entitlements Management (CIEM)

Achieving security in the cloud is an ever-moving target, making it challenging for security and cloud infrastructure teams to keep up with current risks, much less learn about new approaches. Over the past few years, too many global enterprises have fallen victim to hacks, attacks, and breaches, in many cases attributable to poor implementation of security policies and to the rise of human and non-human identities with excessive high-risk cloud permissions.

Current approaches, such as traditional assumption based Role-based Access Controls (RBAC) and other labor-intensive manual processes were early attempts to stay one step ahead of breaches due to accidental misuse and malicious exploitation of permissions. But they simply don’t work in the cloud! 

In this webinar, we’ll take a look at Gartner’s newly defined category called Cloud Infrastructure Entitlements Management (CIEM).  CIEM defines the next generation of solutions for managing access to permissions and enforcing least privilege in the cloud.

CloudKnox Security, the leader in the CIEM space, will take you through a quick-start path to achieving CIEM by leveraging a three-phased lifecycle approach.  You will learn how to:

·       Discover who (identities) is doing what, where (resources) and when across your cloud infrastructure

·       Manage risk by giving identities just-enough and just-in-time permissions to perform their daily tasks and nothing more

·       Monitor identity activity changes and prioritize alerts based on risk level associated with anomalous behavior

Join CloudKnox to explore the key steps to managing cloud permissions with CIEM and see how quickly you – and your organization – can reduce your attack surface by getting ahead of the #1 unmanaged risk to cloud infrastructure – identities with excessive high-risk permissions

More about our Meeting Sponsor: CloudKnox Security

CloudKnox delivers a single platform for managing the entire identity privilege lifecycle across hybrid cloud utilizing a revolutionary Activity-based Authorization model. This groundbreaking approach offers a non-intrusive way to manage identity privileges and protect organizations’​ critical infrastructure from malicious and accidental credential abuse.
