Required New IT Security at & after Covid19

Live Interactive Virtual Workshop,
19th-23rd April 2021

Required New IT Security at & after Covid19

-  Meet the new challenge presented to your organization & gain insights into the latest trends, best practice and essential techniques

OVERVIEW OF THE COURSE

To survive during and after the Covid19 pandemic, industry, government, academia, healthcare, and other sectors have all had to migrate to virtual (online) operations, including work from home and online meetings, using organizational infrastructures that could not safely accommodate them. This has opened huge gaps in IT security that were never expected prior to the Covid19 pandemic.

Responding to this market demand, this course will address all the critical issues in current IT security and management, including IT Security’s evolving role in organization success, work from home/remote, unauthorized data leakage, General Data Protection Regulation’s impact, Ransomware, data back up and restoration, biometrics, forensics, and VPN etc.

Latest current events and case studies will be discussed to make the learning more practical, interactive, and effective.

Understanding different organizations and executives face different challenges with some different learning needs, we will keep the class size small so that we can customize course content to meet your needs. We will use Pre-course Questionnaires etc to understand your learning objectives in advance.

By the time the course ends, you will become comfortable with the current new challenges presented to your organization, and gain insights into the very latest trends, best practices and essential techniques in IT Security. You will get answers to your questions that you can then apply to your own work right away. All these will help bring success to your organization as well as your career development.

This course includes comprehensive 17 Modules. We will customize the actual course content based on participants’ interested areas and specific learning needs. Class size will be kept small for this reason. Pre-Course Questionnaire will be sent to you prior to the workshop to complete. We will analyze them in advance and decide which modules to invest more time in accordingly.

The 17 Modules are as following:

  1. LATEST CURRENT EVENTS IN IT SECURITY, WHAT IMPLICATIONS
    • The Facebook and Cambridge Analytica cases
    • The BEC $100 million attack
    • Norsk Hydro paid $40 million for Ransomware
    • The Marriott hotel chain hack that compromised 500 Million accounts.
    • The loss of 19.8 million accounts by Commonwealth Bank of Australia/
    • The loss of tens of millions of records by the US Office of Personnel Management that included those of most employees of US Intelligence Agencies
    • The Equifax Credit Bureau Data Breach that compromised 147 Million individuals
    • Singapore General Hospital system hacked
    • SPECTRE and MELTDOWN IT vulnerabilities
    • Other data collectors
    • RANSOMWARE. A continuing serious threat to banks, hospitals, and others. Individuals as well.
    • Cryptojacking (stealing crypto currency like Bitcoins). Case studies
    • Shielded rooms: do they provide the needed security? It depends
    • Internet-voting
    • The Pakistani bank card IT attack
    • The Toyota Australia healthcare group attack.
    • BGP and DNS attacks
    • Facebook’s multibillion dollar fines for lax IT security
    • Japan’s credit card fraud IT attack
    • The “WannaCry” IT attack. Lessons learned. Fixes
    • The IT attacks on the Australian Parliament network
    • The dangers of data-centric IT security
    • Airbus IT hack
    • Boeing Dreamliner IT vulnerabilities
  2. WHY 2021-LEVEL I.T SECURITY IS AN EXISTENTIAL MATTER OF SURVIVAL FOR ORGANIZATIONS NOW
    • Industry, Government and Academia all migrated to Online. The old corporate firewall is ineffective now. Case studies and lessons learned
    • Attacker has an inherent advantage over defender
    • IT security is a constantly moving target; one must anticipate and prepare, or suffer dire losses
    • Substantive security vs. “security theater”. Case studies
    • Many IT “experts” do NOT know about non-software IT attacks (e.g., attacks based on basic Physics)
    • Typical IT security person today can only prevent a recurrence of last year’s attacks, not tomorrow’s attacks, false sense of security. Case studies and lessons learned
    • The IT environment has changed drastically and continues to evolve every hour:
    • New international legal IT Security frameworks that Asian organizations have to comply with to do business abroad
      • The GDPR (European General Data Protection Regulation) impact on all international companies
      • The weakest link: a compromised employee
    • Other hacked and hackable IT-based items. Deadly attacks
    • IT Security vs. Privacy. Where to draw the line?
  3. LEGACY IT SECURITY IS TOTALLY INADEQUATE TODAY AND IN THE FUTURE
    • Different threat perpetrators must be protected from differently:
    • No legacy IT security can protect from the authorized malicious insider. Case studies
    • The IT threat is NOT only “out there” but, worse yet, inside already
    • “We don’t know what we don’t know”. Today’s attacks were not known yesterday.
      • Case studies. Europe’s GDPR, US laws, Zero-day attacks.
      • Lessons learned
    • IT Security of essential vendors of your software, hardware, that you depend
    • Your IT network WILL be successfully attacked. There is no such thing as “impenetrable security”; you need SURVIVABILITY. How to implement survivability. Dos and don’ts.
    • An organization’s network is no longer under the full control of its own network because:
    • Data theft means are nearly undetectable and will be even less detectable tomorrow
      • USB-C “thumb-drives” and totally wireless equivalents are extremely small
      • Vast number of openly available links to transmit information undetected. Remote off-site employees cannot really be monitored
      • Case studies and lessons learned
    • Amazon/Google and others can listen-in to Alexa, Echo, etc
    • Legacy IT “firewalls” are ineffective and give a false sense of security
  4. IT SECURITY ALONE IS LIKE LOCKING DOWN THE FRONT DOOR AND LEAVING ALL OTHER ENTRY POINTS UNSECURED – EMPLOYEES, PERSONNELS, VENDORS ETC
    • Employees tend to look at organization security personnel as adversaries
    • Personnel security (investigations, reinvestigations, protective measures)
    • Special personnel issues: Malicious sysadmin, fired or laid off employees, industrial espionage. Case studies
    • Vendors, contractors and repairmen. Case studies and lessons learned
    • Employee-owned equipment (laptops, mobile phones) used to access network. Case studies and lessons learned
    • You cannot have IT security unless you also have physical security for the IT terminals, servers, etc. Legacy physical security is inadequate. Case studies and recommendations
    • Intrusion detection (Motion sensors. IR sensor vulnerabilities, video surveillance shortcomings and countermeasures). How they can all be defeated. Case studies
    • Physical security of employee-owned equipment is resisted by most employees
    • Side-channel leaks and attacks. Boffins.
    • Wireless security (WiFi, 4G, 5G, satellite links, Infrared links)
  5. WORKING FROM HOME/REMOTE IT SECURITY CONCERNS
    • Danger to the organization
      • The organization’s firewall is effectively extended worldwide
      • Some dangers and threats CANNOT be eliminated
    • Danger to the individual worker
      • Psychological. Feeling of being constantly on a “Big Brother is watching” leash.
        • Fine for “worker ants” but intolerable to creative thinkers and contributors
        • Feeling of isolation, loneliness, “not being appreciated”, must be prevented through regular person-to-person meetings (“Zoom”, as a minimum).
    • Different scenarios need different solutions:
      • University students. How to handle exams, cheating, etc.
      • Commercial employer employees. See below.
      • Medical doctors reviewing medical records (X-rays; ab results, etc.)
      • Expert Witness online depositions by opposing counsel.
        • Case study discussion.
    • PROTECTIVE MEASURES
      • Security vs. convenience discussion
      • Security vs. employee privacy discussion
      • Employee laptop must be owned and fully controlled by employer’s IT staff.
      • Expert Witness online depositions by opposing counsel.
        • No employee-owned personal equipment, despite the economic appeal to employers
        • Use of encryption: Full Disk Encryption (FDE) recommended, but employer must have Additional Decryption Key (ADK). If laptop is lost or stolen, then no harm is done.
        • How to maximize the chance of compliance?
  6. RANSOMWARE
    • It is blackmail through the Internet: “Unless you do this (pay up, etc.), I will do that (delete, refuse to decrypt, publicize, etc. your files)”
      • Can be deadly if hospital patient records are stolen and ransomed
      • Can be just a scary nuisance to be ignored
      • In PCs, MACs, and even Smartphones
      • Types of ransomware
    • Ransomware and brief discussion of each

      • GandCrab (has evolved through several versions)
      • Goodkit Banker (attacked German users)
      • REvil
      • RegretLocker (can encrypt Windows VIRTUAL hard drives
      • Ransomware now sold as a business to would—be attackers
      • LockAndCode S1Ep19

    • Can enter your computer or server through:
      • Social engineering
      • Threatening emails: “I activated your laptop camera and saw you doing… Pay up or else”
      • Attacker can masquerade as legitimate or law enforcement source
      • You do NOT even need to click on a URL or attachment
      • Malvertising (use of online advertising to deliver malicious content). Anyone can do it
      • Malicious span email with a contaminated attachment that appears legitimate
    • Examples of sophisticated ransomware: Spora, WannaCrype (“Wannacry”), Petya. Cerber, Locky, “Bad Rabbit”
    • How to protect from ransomware
      • Importance of regular backups. But that is not a cure-all: The Caltech White Hat Attack
      • The SPNB Bank case study in California
      • Do not pay the ransom UNLESS lives are in imminent danger
      • Ransomware insurance: a business decision
    • An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure: Education of users
  7. DETECTING UNAUTHORIZED DATA LEAKAGE, TRANSMITTAL OF DATA TO A COMPETITOR
    • Data leakage has many avenues; extremely hard to detect if someone receives no compensation for his/her misdeeds. Case studies at CIA, NSA
    • Old-fashioned means of data exfiltration

  8. ESSENTIAL TECHNOLOGY ASSIST TO IT SECURITY. Do’s and Don’ts
    • Biometrics (fingerprints, voiceprints, palm-prints, retinal scans, iris scans, facial recognition, gait, signature, handwriting, writing style. others)
      • No “one-size-fits-all”: Is biometrics desired to use to:
      • Description of each and assessment.
      • Biometrics goes back thousands of years
      • How different biometrics work
      • Case studies of impressive successes of large-scale biometrics

    • Two-factor authentication. Not a cure-all: Reddit was hacked
    • Benefits of integrating multiple biometric technologies
    • Locks, alarms, sensors motion sensors. How they can be fooled. Countermeasures
  9. COMPUTER AND MOBILE PHONE FORENSICS
    • For computers: what it is and how it is done and when
      • Beware of self-appointed “forensics experts”
      • Widespread use of “Encase”, worldwide
      • FTK (for Unix computers)
      • USB “thumb-drives” for “on the spot” quick forensics
      • Broadly available software tools
      • Keystroke interception and countermeasures

      •  Countermeasures
  10. NETWORK FORENSICS. How not to do it
    • You cannot do forensics on a network that you don’t know where it extends to. An organization’s network is no longer under the full control of its own network because:
    • Must decide up front if your intent is to:
    • You must anticipate a network attacked and be prepared for it
    • Most attacks will come from someone else’s network, likely in a foreign country, and you will get no cooperation from that other network’s staff
    • Methods of detection
    • First responder protocol
    • Some Intrusion Detection Tools
    • Freezing the scene in order of volatility: save most perishable data first
    • Case studies and lessons learned

    • Commercial algorithms’ assessment (DES, 3DES, AES, hybrids, etc.)
    • A mathematically provable unbreakable encryption
    • Digital digests and their exploitable weaknesses
    • Encryption is illegal in some countries and attracts undesired attention in most countries anyway. Steganography and other workarounds

  12. VPNs
    • General
      • What VPNs are and what they are not
      • Why use VPNs
      • They are not panacea. They protect from a lot but introduce one new serious threat
        • Terminate VPN at firewall or inside the private network? Pros and Cons

    • SOCKS5
      • Split Channel IT security threat; Fixes
    • NAT issues in IPv4
      • How NAT boxers work
      • Some laughable legal concerns
  13. WIRELESS IT THREATS TO SECURITY
    • What is your reason for using wireless?
      • As a rarely used backup in case of landline failures?
      • Wi-Fi to cut costs of wiring a building for data communications?
      • When travelling?
    • Interception
      • Of sensitive data
      • Of personal data (medical, contacts lists)
      • Of organizational login information so as to login an unauthorized user later
      • Countermeasures and their respective operational and legal implications:
    • Jamming
      • Jam when, why, for how long and from how far away?
      • Legalities
      • Jam what?
      • Nobody can jam all frequencies

    • Important when travelling with your organization’s confidential data
      • Case studies of robust industrial espionage
      • Countermeasures
    • Anonymity from whom?
      • For a single act or for a long time? How long? Where?
      • What assumptions about adversary? Case studies and lessons learned

This course is specifically designed to meet the needs of a broad spectrum of professionals, both non-technical and technical, who now have to deal with online operations, including Senior Executive, Head of Department and Technical Manager in the corporate world, government, police, and intelligence agencies whose duties include information assurance management of sensitive information, in banking, healthcare, and practically all other sectors. You will learn to integrate digitalization into key business initiatives and benchmark your organization’s security and efficiency levels to achieve sustainable development.

For example, in addition to corporate clients, most of who have experienced a seismic shift in their operations because of Covid19, this unique course will also be of great benefit to banking officials who need to know and fix the weaknesses of their networks and procedures, to know and prevent the new plague of ransomware, and to prevent compromised employees from exploiting the vast amount of funds now transferred online.

The course is also intended for auditors, law enforcement and intelligence professionals who need to know the latest techniques used by their targets of interest to hide data either at rest (in computers and other digital devices, both physically at rest and while traveling) or in transit (while communicating with their cohorts); also, for lawyers who need to be aware of ways to defend their clients from unjust accusations based on mistakenly assessed forensically obtained evidence.

Equally important, this course is also intended for the individuals and entrepreneurs who are under increasing existential threat of theft of their intellectual property that is the basis of their livelihood.
