Tags Share this article 2/8/22 Published While we optimistically hoped for normality in 2021, organizations continue to deal with the repercussions of the pandemic nearly two years on. Once considered temporary measures to ride out the lockdown restrictions, they have become permanent fixtures now, creating a dynamic shift in cybersecurity and networking. At the same time, cybercriminals have taken advantage of the distraction by launching ambitious attacks against critical infrastructure. As we continue to deal with the pandemic effect, what can we expect to see in 2022? Here are my thoughts on some of the most talked about topics in cybersecurity and network management. Taking an application-centric approach One thing I have been calling attention to for several years now has been the need to focus on applications when dealing with network security. Even when identifying a single connection, you have a very limited view of the “hidden story” behind it, which means first and foremost, you need a clear cut answer to the following: What is actually going on with this application? You also need the broader context to understand the intent behind it: Why is the connection there? What purpose does it serve? What applications is it supporting? These questions are bound to come up in all sorts of use cases. For instance, when auditing the scope of an application, you may ask yourself the following: Is it secure? Is it aligned? Does it have risks? In today’s network organization chart, application owners need to own the risk of their application; the problem is no longer the domain of the networking team. Understanding intent can present quite a challenge. This is particularly the case in brownfield situations, where hundreds of applications are running across the environment and historically poor record keeping. Despite the difficulties, it still needs to be done now and in the future. Heightening ransomware preparedness We’ve continued to witness more ransomware attacks running rampant in organizations across the board, wreaking havoc on their security networks. Technology, food production and critical infrastructure firms were hit with nearly $320 million of ransom attacks in 2021, including the largest publicly known demand to date. Bad actors behind the attacks are making millions, while businesses struggle to recover from a breach. As we enter 2022, it is safe to expect that a curbing of this trend is unlikely to occur. So, if it’s not a question of “will a ransomware attack occur,” it begs the question of “how does your organization prepare for this eventuality?” Preparation is crucial, but antivirus software will only get you so far. Once an attacker has infiltrated the network, you need to mitigate the impact. To that end, as part of your overall network security strategy, I highly recommend Micro-segmentation, a proven best practice to reduce the attack surface and ensure that a network is not relegated to one linear thread, safeguarding against full-scale outages. Employees also need to know what to do when the network is under attack. They need to study, understand the corporate playbook and take action immediately. It’s also important to consider the form and frequency of back-ups and ensure they are offline and inaccessible to hackers. This is an issue that should be addressed in security budgets for 2022. Smart migration to the cloud Migrating to the cloud has historically been reserved for advanced industries. Still, increasingly we are seeing the most conservative vertical sectors, from finance to government, adopt a hybrid or full cloud model. In fact, Gartner forecasts that end-user spending on public cloud services will reach $482 billion in 2022. However, the move to the cloud does not necessarily mean that traditional data centers are being eliminated. Large institutions have invested heavily over the years in on-premise servers and will be reluctant to remove them entirely. That is why many organizations are moving to a hybrid environment where certain applications remain on-premise, and newly adopted services are predominantly transitioning to cloud-based software. We are now seeing more hybrid environments where organizations have a substantial and growing cloud estate and a significant on-premise data center. All this means that with the presence of the old historical software and the introduction of the new cloud-based software, security has become more complicated. And since these systems need to coexist, it is imperative to ensure that they communicate with each other. As a security professional, it is incumbent upon you to be mindful of that; it is your responsibility to secure the whole estate, whether on-premise, in the cloud, or in some transition state. Adopting a holistic view of network security management More frequently than not, I am seeing the need for holistic management of network objects and IP addresses. Organizations are experiencing situations where they manage their IP address usage using IPAM systems and CMDBs to manage assets. Unfortunately, these are siloed systems that rarely communicate with each other. The consumers of these types of information systems are often security controls such as firewalls, SDN filters, etc. Since each vendor has its own way of doing these things, you get disparate systems, inefficiencies, contradictions, and duplicate names across systems. These misalignments cause security problems that lead to miscommunication between people. The good news is that there are systems on the market that align these disparate silos of information into one holistic view, which organizations will likely explore over the next twelve months. Adjusting network security to Work from Home demands The pandemic and its subsequent lockdowns forced many employees to work from remote locations. This shift has continued for the last two years and is likely to remain part of the new normal, either in full or partial capacity. According to Reuters, decision-makers plan to move a third of their workforce to telework in the long term. That figure has doubled compared to the pre COVID period and subsequently, the cybersecurity implications of this increase have become paramount. As more people work on their own devices and need to connect to their organization’s network, one that is secure and provides adequate bandwidth, it also requires new technologies to be deployed. As a result, this has led to the SASE (Secure Access Security Edge) model, where security is delivered over the cloud- much closer to the end user. Since the new way of working appears to be here to stay in one shape or another, organizations will need to invest in the right tooling to allow security professionals to set policies, gain visibility for adequate reporting and control hybrid networks. The Takeaway If there’s anything we’ve learned from the past two years is that we cannot confidently predict the perils looming around the corner. However, there are things that we can and should be able to anticipate that can help you avoid any unnecessary risk to your security networks, whether today or in the future.

success stories "We’re managing our network security with much greater confidence. With the value of the time we save and our improved compliance readiness, we can clearly see that AlgoSec is delivering on our investment" Global Geothermal Power Producer Improves Security and Compliance and Takes Control of DailyFirewall Management Operations at 14 Global Facilities AlgoSec Business Impact • Automated notifications improve firewall management processes.• Visibility of firewall rules allows better management of security infrastructure.• Built-in reports provide instant proof of SOX and NERC compliance. Background Ormat Technologies, Inc. a world leader in the geothermal power plant sector, is committed to developing green, sustainable energy solutions. The company has installed over 2000 MW of geothermal and Recovered Energy (REG) power plants worldwide. Ormat’s global IT department manages network security and ensures compliance with SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley) regulations and NERC (North American Electric Reliability Corporation) at 14 of its power plants. Challenge Ormat’s firewall configurations typically need updating on a daily basis to address the changing roles and information technology requirements of Ormat’s global employees. As the department has assumed greater responsibility for regulatory compliance in addition to internal operations, firewall management has become cumbersome and costly.“With multiple managers adding and changing firewall configurations at our various locations, we had no way to review each change, see who made it, or know if a change was made at all,” explains Meir Moshka, IT Manager at Ormat. Without this information, reviewing firewall configurations against regulations and standards was difficult and time-consuming. “To stay compliant and secure, we needed better controls for firewall management, but we also had to stay responsive to the employees we serve,” says Moshka. Solution After evaluating several firewall management products, Ormat selected the AlgoSec Security Management solution for its ease of use, and for the superiority of its built-in SOX and NERC compliance reports. “The web user interface is easy and friendly,” comments Moshka. His team installed and tested AlgoSec themselves, in a matter of days. Another capability that drove Ormat to select AlgoSec was its ability to create a workflow for their firewall configuration process. “Every time a change is made, the security manager receives an email describing the new configuration,” says Moshka. “The change is only made after the manager approves it.” The new process will ensure that all configuration changes are properly reviewed. Results Today, in addition to maintaining its network security policies more effectively, Ormat is dramatically reducing the time spent preparing for compliance audits. “Together, the firewall management process and reports keep us ready for an audit at all times. We save a great deal of audit preparation time because we already review each configuration change against the requirements on a daily basis.” Automated compliance reporting also gives Ormat the power to demonstrate compliance to customers and prospects, as the company pursues new contracts for power plant operations in the US. “By using the built-in reports, we can instantly show we are NERC and SOX compliant. It’s a valuable proof for the plant owners.” Moshka and his team also rely on AlgoSec’s built-in knowledgebase of best practices for firewall configuration. Additionally, they have customized the out-of-the-box functionality by defining additional risks that apply to Ormat’s environment. With their customized risk profile in place, each firewall configuration change is evaluated against the knowledgebase to determine which configurations to improve or avoid. “Often, a change to the firewall needs to be more restrictive than we thought,” says Moshka. “AlgoSec gives us recommendations for each new change, and we minimize security risks by following them.” Another improvement is how AlgoSec’s policy cleanup and optimization features ensure Ormat’s security policy is streamlined and easy to maintain. “Now I see exactly which policy applies to which firewall, which rules are duplicated, expired, or unused, and get recommendations on the most effective way to reorder the most used rules,” says Moshka. With AlgoSec, Ormat has taken back control for its firewall policies and compliance requirements. “We’re managing our network security with much greater confidence,” Moshka says. “Add together the value of the time we save on a daily basis, and our improved compliance readiness, and we can clearly see that AlgoSec is delivering on our investment.” Schedule time with one of our experts

The Cloud's Underbelly: Where the Dangers Hide The cloud has revolutionized business, but it's also opened up a whole new can of security worms. It's like building a magnificent castle in the sky, but forgetting to install the drawbridge and moat. Here's the deal: the faster you embrace the cloud, the harder it gets to keep an eye on everything. Think sprawling cloud environments with hidden corners and shadowy figures lurking in the depths. If you can't see what's going on, you're practically inviting those cyber-bandits to steal your precious data and leave you with a hefty ransom note. In this post, we're shining a light on those hidden dangers and giving you the tools to take back control of your cloud security. Get ready to become a cloud security ninja! Cloud Security Challenges: A Rogue's Gallery Cloud security is like a tangled web – complex, ever-changing, and full of surprises. Let's break down the top five reasons why securing your cloud can feel like a Herculean task. 1. Cloud Adoption on Steroids: Think of cloud adoption as a rocket launch – it's not a one-time event, but a continuous journey into the unknown. New resources are constantly being added, applications are migrating, and data is flowing like a raging river. Keeping track of everything and ensuring its security is like trying to herd cats in a hurricane. And hold on tight, because Gartner predicts that by 2027, global public cloud spending will blast past the $1 trillion mark! That's a whole lot of cloud to manage and secure. 2. Security's Unique Demands: The cloud's a shape-shifter, constantly changing and evolving. That means your attack surface is never static – it's more like a wriggling octopus with tentacles reaching everywhere. And if you're not careful, those tentacles can be riddled with vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, just waiting for a cyber-pirate to exploit them. Legacy security solutions? They're like trying to fight a dragon with a water pistol. They simply can't keep up with the cloud's dynamic nature, leaving you vulnerable to breaches, compliance failures, and a whole lot of financial pain. Figure 1: Gartner’s Top Cybersecurity Trends for 2024 (Source: Gartner ) 3. The Threat Landscape: A Cyber-Jungle The cyber threat landscape is a dangerous jungle, and your cloud environment is the prized watering hole. McKinsey estimates that by 2025, cyberattacks will cost businesses a staggering $10.5 trillion annually! That's enough to make even the bravest cloud warrior tremble. And as if the cloud's inherent challenges weren't enough, you've got a relentless horde of cyber-criminals trying to breach your defenses. Just look at some of the major attacks in 2024: AT&T : 110 million customer phone records compromised – that's like losing a phone book the size of a small city! Ticketmaster : 560 million customer records stolen – a hacking collective hit the jackpot with this one! Dell : 49 million customers' data compromised through brute-force attacks – talk about a battering ram! Figure 2: Stolen Ticketmaster data on illicit marketplaces (Source: Bleeping Computer ) 4. Regulatory Pressures: The Compliance Gauntlet Navigating the world of compliance is like running a gauntlet – one wrong step and you'll get hit with a penalty. Without a crystal-clear view of your cloud resources, networks, applications, and data, you're practically walking blindfolded through a minefield. Poor visibility, suboptimal network segmentation, and inconsistent rules are the enemies of compliance. They're like cracks in your cloud fortress, just waiting for an auditor to exploit them.

AlgoSec Firewall Analyzer ensures security and compliance by providing visibility and analysis into complex network security policies. AlgoSec FireFlow improves security and saves security staffs’ time by automating the entire security policy change process, eliminating manual errors, and reducing risk. AlgoSec AppViz provides critical security information regarding the firewalls and firewall rules supporting each connectivity flow by letting users discover, identify, and map business applications. AlgoSec AppChange empowers customers to make changes at the business application level, including application migrations, server deployment, and decommissioning projects. “AppViz and AppChange provide a more application-centric viewpoint. It’s really helpful for communication within our business departments,” said their IT engineer. THE RESULTS By using the AlgoSec Security Management solution, the company was able to automate their network policy change management processes, enhance their compliance posture, accelerate hardware migrations, and gain deep visibility into their hybrid network. Some of the benefits gained include: Deep integration and visibility into their hybrid network. Faster firewall migrations and deployments of virtual firewalls. Eliminated unnecessary policy changes and reduced the time required to process policy changes. Ability to review and approve communication flows (a PCI DSS requirement).

success stories "With AlgoSec, I am able to get requests completed within minutes." State government rapidly accelerates security policy changes while increasing security and compliance Background Utah is home to over three million people. It is one of America’s fastest-growing states and the fastest-growing economy by job growth in the nation. The Department of Technology Services (DTS) is the technology service provider for the executive branch of the State of Utah, providing services to Utah’s citizens. DTS supports the computing infrastructure for the state government, including 22,000 telephones, 20,000 desktop computers, 2,400 servers, 1,300 online services, monitors over 4 million visits to Utah.gov per month, and secures against more than 500 million daily IT intrusion attempts. Challenge Over forty firewall pairs and hundreds of other devices help the Department of Technology Services serve and secure the Utah government.“Before AlgoSec, it was very challenging for us to manage firewalls,” stated the department’s Director of Information Technology. Some of the challenges included: Firewall rule requests took up 70% of employees’ daily time. Agencies and staff frequently complained about slow response times, impacting their productivity while staff worked through a lengthy manual process to fulfill requests. Human errors slowed down the processes, requiring extra layers of quality assurance. Large rule request projects took several months to complete. Employee onboarding took several months. New employees could not independently support firewall request changes for the first few months after joining the team. Solutions The State of Utah was searching for a solution that provided: Automation of firewall management Actionable reports to ease compliance requirements Ease of deployment Following an in-depth evaluation, the State of Utah selected AlgoSec’s security policy management solution.“We evaluated several other products but none of them really automated at the level that we wanted,” said the director of IT. “AlgoSec’s automation really stood out.” The State of Utah chose to start with AlgoSec Firewall Analyzer (AFA) and AlgoSec FireFlow (AFF), two of the flagship products in the AlgoSec suite.AlgoSec Firewall Analyzer delivers visibility and analysis of complex network security policies across on-premise, cloud, and hybrid networks. It automates and simplifies security operations including troubleshooting, auditing, and risk analysis. Using Firewall Analyzer, the State of Utah can optimize the configuration of firewalls, and network infrastructure to ensure security and compliance. AlgoSec FireFlow enables security staff to automate the entire security policy change process from design and submission to proactive risk analysis, implementation, validation, and auditing. Its intelligent, automated workflows save time and improve security by eliminating manual errors and reducing risk. Results By using the AlgoSec Security Management solution, the State of Utah was able to accelerate their security policy management, provide better and faster service to state agencies, accelerate employee onboarding, and enhance network segmentation.Some of the benefits gained include: Fast and easy deployment – they were up and running within a few weeks. Faster turnaround to firewall requests from staff supporting agencies and priority initiatives. Reduced time to implement large rule request for projects, such as deployments, migrations, and decommissions — from months to minutes. Better knowledge sharing – hosting staff and extended staff outside of network operations get more accurate insights into firewalls and infrastructure topologies and traffic flows. This sped up troubleshooting and reduced superfluous requests covered by existing rules. Elimination of human error and rework thanks to policy automation. Accelerated employee onboarding – employees joining our network operations team are now able to fulfill firewall change requests within two weeks of starting work – down from 3 months – an 80% reduction. “I’ve been able to jump in and use AlgoSec. It’s been really intuitive” , concluded the IT director. “I am very pleased with this product! ” Schedule time with one of our experts

success stories "With AlgoSec, not only did we improve visibility of our security policy and device configurations, but we were also able to gain tremendous operational savings by automating many of these processes." Background Worldline is the European leader in the payments and transactional services industry. Worldline delivers new-generation services, enabling its customers to offer smooth and innovative solutions to the end consumer. A key actor for B2B2C industries, with over 40 years of experience, Worldline supports and contributes to the success of all businesses and administrative services in a perpetually evolving market. Worldline offers a unique and flexible business model built around a global and growing portfolio, thus enabling end-to-end support. Challenge Worldline’s network is secured with more than 20 firewalls and routers from vendors such as Check Point and Cisco. Even with over 30 employees in the security and networking group, the company was spending a lot of time manually performing security management tasks such as monitoring and tracking security policy changes, conducting risk analysis, validating network schemas, and preparing for PCI-DSS and SAS70 audits. Additionally, while Worldline had a documented process for implementing firewall changes, there was little visibility into what was actually occurring, and enforcing the process was not trivial. “Manually trying to maintain control of our firewall and router policies was complex because we lacked the proper visibility of the firewall configurations and all of the changes that were occurring,” said Massoud Kamran, Senior Security Consultant at Worldline. Solution Worldline selected the AlgoSec Security Management solution to automate security policy operations, streamline audit preparation and validate security changes that were being processed. “We chose AlgoSec over other options because the solution leverages the routing information and the topology of firewalls to give us the most reliable visibility into what’s going on with network traffic and the security policy,” said Kamran. Results AlgoSec provides Worldline with an intelligent solution that enables Kamran and his team to find and asses risky rules and easily clean up their rule bases. Inaddition, Worldline leverages information from AlgoSec’s reports to enhance their Security Information and Event Management solution.AlgoSec’s comprehensive reporting gives Worldline continuous visibility into the firewall change process as well as provides evidence for PCI audits. “WithAlgoSec, we’ve improved our visibility into the current infrastructure and reduced the time spent on compliance audits, configuration management and change monitoring,” said Kamran. “In particular, time spent preparing evidence for PCI and SAS70 audits has been cut significantly. Assuming on average we make 700 security policy changes per year, we now save many man hours just by following AlgoSec’s change process and ensuring that the changes don’t introduce any risk,” concluded Kamran.
