Tags Share this article 9/21/20 Published The Web application and service business loves containers, but they present a security challenge. Horizon ACE has the skills and experience to meet the challenge. Its runtime scanning technology and techniques will let you avoid the serious risks of vulnerable or compromised containers. The very thing that makes Docker containers convenient — their all-in-one, self-contained structure — makes them opaque to traditional security tests. Instances come and go as needed, sometimes deleting themselves within seconds. This scalable and transient nature isn’t amenable to the usual tools. Horizon ACE’s approach is specifically designed to analyze and test containers safely, finding any problems before they turn into security incidents. The container supply chain Container images put together code from many sources. They include original source or binary code, application libraries,language support, and configuration data. The developer puts them all together and delivers the resulting image. A complex container has a long supply chain,and many things can go wrong. Each item in the image could carry a risk. The container developer could use buggy or outdated components, or it could use them improperly. The files it imports could be compromised. A Docker image isn’t a straightforward collection of files, like a gzip file. An image may be derived from another image. Extracting all its files and parameters is possible but not straightforward. Vulnerabilities and malicious actions We can divide container risks into two categories: vulnerabilities and malicious code. Vulnerabilities A vulnerability unintentionally introduces risk. An outsider can exploit them to steal information or inflict damage. In a container, they can result from poor-quality or outdated components. The building process for a complex image is hard to keep up to date. There are many ways for something to go wrong. Vulnerability scanners don’t generally work on container images. They can’t find all the components. It’s necessary to check an active container to get adequate insight. This is risky if it’s done in a production environment. Container vulnerabilities include configuration weaknesses as well as problems in code. An image that uses a weak password or unnecessarily exposes administrative functions is open to attacks. Malicious code Malware in a container is more dangerous than vulnerabilities. It could intrude at any point in the supply chain. The developer might receive a compromised version of a runtime library. A few unscrupulous developers put backdoors into code that they ship. Sometimes they add backdoors for testing purposes and forget to remove them from the finished product. The only way to catch malware in a container is by its behavior. Monitoring the network and checking the file system for suspicious changes will discover misbehaving code. The Horizon ACE solution Security tools designed for statically loaded code aren’t very helpful with containers. AlgoSec has created a new approach that analyzes containers without making any assumptions about their safety. It loads them into a sandboxed environment where they can’t do any harm and analyzes them.The analysis includes the following: Scanning of components for known vulnerabilities Automated pen-test attacks Behavioral analysis of running code Traffic analysis to discover suspicious data packets Machine learning to identify malicious binaries The analysis categorizes an image as benign,vulnerable, exploitable, dangerous, or harmful. The administrator looks at agraph to identify any problems visually, without digging through logs. They can tell at a glance whether an image is reasonably safe to run, needs to be sent back for fixes, or should be discarded on the spot. If you look at competing container security solutions, you’ll find that the key is runtime technology. Static analysis, vulnerability scans, and signature checking won’t get you enough protection by themselves. Horizon ACE gives you the most complete and effective checking of container images, helping you to avoid threats to your data and your business.

Efficiently manage network security policies with AlgoSec’s solution to ensure compliance, reduce risks, and streamline operations across your hybrid IT environment. Network security policy management software (NSPM) What is network security policy management? Network security policy management is the process of creating, implementing and maintaining policies and procedures to protect an organization’s network and data against unauthorized access, use, disclosure and disruption, modification or destruction. Specific activities include identifying and mitigating security risks, testing and deploying changes to connectivity and security rules, ensuring compliance with relevant laws and regulations and more. AlgoSec provides the leading solution for simplifying and automating network security policy management across on-premise firewalls, SDNs and in the public clouds. Its centralized management enables sweeping visibility, effective risk detection and intelligent automation. These capabilities come together to drive stronger security, sustained compliance, reduced risk and faster application delivery – all while cutting manual work, costs, and compliance efforts. Schedule a Demo Why do you need firewall and network security management? Centralized firewall and network security management is essential for preserving a secure, compliant environment – across the devices and workflows in your IT ecosystem. It’s also fundamental for solving a range of connected issues that generate security risks and non-compliance concerns: Technical debt Shadow IT Inconsistent, redundant and obsolete rules Visibility blind spots Growing network complexity IT personnel changes Emerging security vulnerabilities. A firewall and network security management solution helps you achieve IT security and compliance goals – at scale – through extensive integration options, full-scale visibility and intelligent automation. It keeps your hybrid network safe by providing clear processes for aspects ranging from change management to compliance reporting, and monitors if these processes remain effective as your requirements evolve. Schedule a Demo Network security management FAQ Frequently asked questions about network security management and AlgoSec’s network security policy management platform. How does firewall security management differ from network security management? Firewall security management is one of the specialized components of network security management – the practice of ensuring the overall safety of the entire network and its devices. Specifically, firewall management involves configuring rules to allow or block specific types of traffic based on factors such as IP address, port and protocol. Network security management covers a wider range of tasks, but both processes are essential for reducing the organization’s attack surface and for effective risk management. What key role does firewall configuration management play in network security? The security and exposure of web, email, VPN and database servers, routers, workstations and other devices depend on effective firewall configuration management. That’s because firewalls are responsible for blocking unwanted or malicious traffic (e.g. malware, ransomware, denial-of-service attacks, etc.) and allowing legitimate traffic to pass through. Besides creating traffic filtering rules, managing firewall configurations also involves securing access, keeping the firewall up to date. And since most regulatory authorities expect organizations to have firewalls as part of their security controls, the effectiveness of firewall configuration management cascades across compliance requirements as well. How does network security management help with risk management? Network security management activities help identify the sources of IT security risk, apply mitigating measures and monitor the effectiveness of this cycle as the business environment evolves. Specific processes include: Identifying potential vulnerabilities (e.g. application connectivity flows, weak credentials, unpatched software, open ports, etc.) through security assessments and penetration testing. Prioritizing risks and keeping security teams aligned on which high-impact security threats need fast resolution to avoid breaches and situations of non-compliance. Implementing security controls (e.g. firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems, encryption, etc.) that strengthen the organization’s security posture. Pushing firewall rules to devices so they don’t open security holes and increase exposure to cyberattacks. Continuously monitoring the network for evidence of security breaches, (e.g. unusual activity, unauthorized access etc.). Applying cybersecurity incident response plans in the event of a successful attack (e.g. isolating affected systems) to avoid or minimize downtime and ensure business continuity. How can I proactively assess and manage security threats? Information security offers a range of options to proactively determine and manage security threats across people, processes and technology: Regular security assessments that scrutinize networks, systems and applications to identify vulnerabilities and exposure to cyberattacks. Examples include penetration testing, vulnerability management and threat modeling. Multi-layered security through tools such as firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems and antivirus software. Policy and procedures reviews and updates that ensure they remain compliant and effective against bad actors’ evolving tactics. Network monitoring with real-time notifications to identify signs of compromise such as unusual login and account activity, suspicious or unknown files, and evidence of device tampering. Network log management that documents activity across cloud environments, web applications, endpoints and other systems, creating a trail of examinable evidence. Threat hunting searches for indicators of compromise from bad actors who may have evaded detection and maintained a covert presence in the network. Patch management that pinpoints outdated devices and software, delivering necessary upgrades to close security holes and fix known issues. Security awareness initiatives such as training employees and establishing a communication channel they can use to report potential security issues. The right technology reduces the complexity of managing multiple security layers and makes the entire process feasible and efficient. For instance, the AlgoSec Network Security Policy Management platform proactively evaluates the impact of proposed policy changes to minimize risk, prevent outages and maintain compliance. Because it also integrates with leading vulnerability scanners, AlgoSec maps security vulnerabilities to their business applications, so you can effectively assess and prioritize risks based on reliable context data. Can AlgoSec unify visibility and management across cloud, SDN and on-premise enterprise networks? IT and security managers who choose AlgoSec to simplify their network environments mention easy integration and comprehensive network insight as their main ROI drivers. That’s because the AlgoSec Network Security Policy Management platform provides full visibility across firewalls and security controls deployed on public and private clouds, as well as SDNs such as Cisco ACI and VMware NSX. The consolidation it enables makes it easy to: Have an up-to-date map of all the devices on the network Understand the information flow between firewalls Extract information about specific firewall rules Trim the firewall ruleset – by as much as 90% Reduce rule project reviews – from 1 month to 1 day according to our customers. Make firewall rule changes in minutes instead of days. Can I stay compliant using network security policy management solutions? Network security policy management solutions are indispensable to technical and business teams that need to coordinate across complex compliance tasks. They provide tangible benefits throughout the security policy management lifecycle: Automated discovery and visualization Real-time network topology updates Ongoing clean-up and optimization Automatic security rules documentation Continuous compliance checks Ready-to-use reports.

It also keeps network access and the security policy’s integrity and compliance intact throughout the process. Customers mention effective orchestration of all migrations tasks as a core driver for ROI and report reducing rule migration time by 80%. What is the typical pricing range for network security policy management solutions? The cost of network security policy management solutions depends on: Pricing model – per license, per user, per endpoint or device or per usage (e.g. gigabytes processed). Contract duration – one-time fee or subscription (yearly, monthly). Add-ons and modifiers – pricing per integration, per update, per deployment hour. This results in a broad pricing range with large discrepancies between low-end and high-end network security policy management solutions. Yearly costs for complex environments with hundreds of users and multiple providers typically start at a few thousand US dollars and go up to six figures.

Tags Share this article 6/20/23 Published The past few years have witnessed a rapid surge in the use of SaaS applications across various industries. But with this growth comes a significant challenge: managing security and assessing risk in application connectivity. In this blog, I’ll explore the fascinating insights from a recent study conducted by the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA). The study delves into the complexities of managing security and assessing the risk of application connectivity in the rapidly growing world of SaaS applications and cloud environments. With responses from 1,551 IT and security professionals from organizations of all sizes and from all corners of the globe, this study provides valuable insights into the challenges of application security in cloud environments and how to best manage them. Insight # 1 – Human error is the leading cause of application outages With more than half of these outages linked to manual processes and the increasing complexity of the systems themselves, businesses are losing productivity, revenue, and even reputation due to downtime. In many cases, the root cause of these outages is traced back to configuration errors, software bugs, or human mistakes during deployments or maintenance activities. To combat these issues, investment in automation and machine learning technologies can mitigate the risk of human error and ensure the reliability and stability of their applications. Insight # 2 – 75% of organizations experienced application outages lasting an hour or more. The financial impact of outages has been significant, with an estimated cost of $300,000 or more per instance. These costs include lost productivity, revenue, and potential customer churn. While human error is the major contributor to downtime, outages are often caused by a combination of additional factors, including hardware or software failure and cyber-attacks. Comprehensive disaster recovery plans, backup systems, and application performance monitoring tools are necessary to minimize outages and ensure business continuity. Insight # 3 – A lack of visibility and compliance are the primary constraints to rolling out new applications . Visibility is essential to understanding how applications are used, where they are deployed, and how they integrate with other systems. Compliance gaps, on the other hand, can pose significant risks, resulting in issues such as data breaches, regulatory fines, or reputational damage. To ensure successful application rollout, organizations must have a clear view of their application environment and ensure compliance with relevant standards and regulations. Insight # 4 – The shift to the DevOps methodology has led to a shift-left movement where security is integrated into the application development process . Traditionally, application security teams have been responsible for securing applications in the public cloud. However, DevOps teams are becoming more involved in the security of applications in the public cloud. DevOps teams are now responsible for ensuring that applications are designed with security in mind, and they work with the application security teams to ensure that the necessary controls are in place. Involving the DevOps teams in the security process can reduce the risk of security breaches and ensure that security is integrated throughout the application lifecycle. Insight # 5 – Organizations are targeting unauthorized access to applications in the public cloud . Organizations can protect their applications by implementing strong authentication mechanisms, access controls, and encryption to protect sensitive data. Using the principle of least privilege can limit application access to only authorized personnel. cloud infrastructure is secure and that vulnerabilities are regularly identified and addressed. Organizations must review their security requirements, monitor the application environment, and regularly update their security controls to protect their data and applications in the public cloud. Insight # 6 – A rapidly evolving technology landscape has created skills gaps and staffing issues Specialized skills are not always readily available within organizations, which can result in a shortage of qualified personnel. This can overburden teams, resulting in burnout and increased staff turnover. Staffing shortages can also lead to knowledge silos, where critical skills and knowledge are concentrated in a few key individuals, leaving the rest of the team vulnerable to knowledge gaps. Organizations must invest in training and development programs to ensure that their teams have the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in their roles. Successful cloud migrations require a comprehensive knowledge of cloud security controls and how they interconnect and collaborate with on-premise security systems. To make this happen, organizations need complete visibility across both cloud and on-premise environments, and must automate the network security management processes. To sum up, the rapidly evolving threat environment demands new ways to enhance security. Proactive risk detection, powerful automation capabilities, and enhanced visibility in the cloud and outside of it are just a few ways to strengthen your security posture. AlgoSec can do all that, and more, to help you stay ahead of emerging threats and protect your critical assets.. Even better, our solution is ideal for organizations that may lack in-house expertise and resources, complementing the existing security measures and helping to keep you one step ahead of attackers.

MITRE ATT&CK offers an open source framework for understanding adversarial tactics, techniques, and common knowledge in use today. MITRE attack framework Select a size Which network Can AlgoSec be used for continuous compliance monitoring? Yes, AlgoSec supports continuous compliance monitoring. As organizations adapt their security policies to meet emerging threats and address new vulnerabilities, they must constantly verify these changes against the compliance frameworks they subscribe to. AlgoSec can generate risk assessment reports and conduct internal audits on-demand, allowing compliance officers to monitor compliance performance in real-time. Security professionals can also use AlgoSec to preview and simulate proposed changes to the organization’s security policies. This gives compliance officers a valuable degree of lead-time before planned changes impact regulatory guidelines and allows for continuous real-time monitoring. What is the MITRE ATT&CK® framework? MITRE ATT&CK offers an open source framework for understanding adversarial tactics, techniques, and common knowledge in use today. It aggregates and catalogs cyber threats based on real-world adversary behavior observed across thousands of incidents, and outlines defenses to protect organizations against them. MITRE ATT&CK helps organizations understand how adversaries operate and guides them towards developing security measures to protect their assets and operations. Understanding the MITRE ATT&CK layout MITRE ATT&CK is organized into three matrices, each representing a dedicated technology domain: Enterprise Mobile Industrial control systems (ICS) Most organizations will use the enterprise matrix, which covers attacks against Windows, macOS, Linux, cloud platforms, network infrastructure, and containers. However, companies must first understand what malicious actors are seeking to achieve. Tactics The enterprise matrix opens to 14 columns representing adversary tactics, i.e., high-level goals: Initial access (getting in) through execution Reconnaissance Persistence Execution Privilege escalation Exfiltration and impact Next, comes the how. Techniques and Sub-Techniques Each tactic column leads to rows containing techniques and sub-techniques, i.e., specific methods for achieving a goal. The latest MITRE ATT&CK v18 features 8 to 47 techniques for each tactic. For example, under Reconnaissance, there are 11 techniques, including “Active Scanning” and “Phishing for Information.” Persistence lists techniques such as "Create Account" or "Boot or Logon Autostart Execution." Sub-techniques are nested within techniques for specific attack implementations. For instance, under "Phishing," you have "Spearphishing Attachment," "Spearphishing Link," "Spearphishing via Service," and “Spearphishing Voice.” This granularity is key, as you need a different technique to defend against phishing via email attachments than via compromised messaging platforms. MITRE ATT&CK Matrix The MITRE ATT&CK Matrix catalogs adversaries into groupings such as data sources, cyber threat intelligence (CTI) groups, and defense strategies. This allows users to filter their navigation to specific adversaries, tools, and campaigns relevant to their business operations. MITRE ATT&CK is constantly updated as adversaries and their tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) evolve. Each version has new features based on empirical threat intelligence, incident response findings, and community research. This is especially important in the face of emerging threat trends, such as AI-assisted cyberattacks and the growth of ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS). Benefits of the MITRE ATT&CK framework MITRE ATT&CK doesn’t simply offer threat intelligence but also shapes organizations’ security operations for multiple use cases: Threat intelligence gathering: Gain context for cloud indicators of compromise (IOCs); beyond "bad IP address detected," know if the address is associated with a specific technique adversaries use for command and control. Threat hunting: Use a hypothesis-driven approach to systematically hunt for evidence of specific techniques used, instead of randomly searching logs. Attack simulation and red team exercises: Leverage real-world, standardized playbooks for testing both offensive capabilities and defensive responses; map your red team's successful tactics against your blue team's detection rates to identify coverage gaps with precision. Gap analysis: Visualize which techniques you can detect, which you can prevent, and most importantly, which represent blind spots in your security architecture. Response validation: Test whether your incident response procedures actually work against the techniques most relevant to your threat profile. The use cases above are a proof of concept, but the bottom line is the actual benefits companies reap from them: Shared understanding of the threat landscape: MITRE ATT&CK offers a common language for discussing adversaries across technical teams, executives, and even board members. Accurate simulation of attacks and validation of defenses: Mapped exercises tell you whether you can detect and respond to techniques adversaries actually use. Informed development and deployment of security policies: Craft policies that specifically address the techniques most relevant to your business risk profile. Intelligent selections of security solutions: Ask vendors which ATT&CK techniques they address and check those claims against your coverage gaps. Best practices for MITRE ATT&CK mapping The MITRE ATT&CK framework's value comes from mapping security data to specific ATT&CK techniques. But mapping without context is like having a map without knowing your starting location; it’s technically interesting, but operationally useless. The CISA best practices guide identifies two fundamental approaches to ATT&CK mapping: Mapping into finished reports (creating security insights for decision-making) Mapping into raw data (embedding ATT&CK context into operational security workflows). Understanding which approach fits your business needs is crucial. Mapping MITRE ATT&CK into finished reports This approach starts with collating incident reports, threat intelligence, or post-mortem analyses, extracting behavioral patterns, and then translating them into ATT&CK language. This creates artifacts that inform security strategy, resource allocation, and executive communication. The process follows six steps: Find the behavior. Identify specific actions the adversary took. Look beyond IoCs, such as malware names and IP addresses, to “how the adversary interacted with specific platforms and applications.” Research the behavior. Was this a standard administrative task gone rogue or a sophisticated persistence mechanism? Investigate the original source, technical details, timing, and surrounding activity. Consult malware analysis reports from reliable organizations, security reports, or your own forensic data. Translate the behavior into a tactic. Map the identified behavior to one of the tactics in the MITRE framework. Identify the technique used for the tactic. For example, within the Execution tactic, scan for the technique that best describes the method. ATT&CK provides detailed descriptions for each technique to help you map to the right one. Identify the sub-techniques. Was it a Windows scheduled task? A Linux Cron job? The sub-technique matters because detection and mitigation strategies for each differ significantly. Compare results to those of other analysts. CISA recommends that analysts treat mapping as a team sport where they work together to identify ATT&CK techniques and ensure quality control. Different analysts examining the same behavior should arrive at the same ATT&CK mapping. Mapping MITRE ATT&CK into raw data While finished reports inform strategy, mapping into raw data enables operations. This approach embeds ATT&CK context directly into your detection engineering, threat hunting, and daily security workflows. Organizations can choose from three viable starting points, each suited to different operational scenarios. 1. Start with a data source A specific data source , say, authentication logs from your cloud identity provider, allows you to see what ATT&CK techniques generate observable activity in these logs. For authentication logs, you would map to techniques like "Valid Accounts," "Brute Force," and "Credential Stuffing." You would then define procedures, i.e., the specific log patterns that indicate these techniques in action. This approach is ideal when deploying new data sources or optimizing existing ones. 2. Start with specific tools or attributes If threat intelligence indicates adversaries targeting your industry are using a specific software , malware family, or penetration testing tool, you can start mapping from there. After identifying techniques that the tool enables, you can then look up the groups and campaigns that have implemented these techniques. Cobalt Strike (S0154) , for example, maps to dozens of techniques across multiple tactics. By understanding this breadth, you can develop ways of identifying not just the tool itself but the behaviors it facilitates. 3. Start with analytics Just as adversaries use software to target businesses, analysts can use cloud enterprise tools to track adversary behavior. SIEM platforms like the AlgoSec Cloud Enterprise (ACE) have built-in detection rules that collect, log, and correlate events from multiple endpoints, cloud services, and identity providers. These events originate as raw telemetry, which are then mapped to specific MITRE ATT&CK techniques. Mapping with detection analytics from such tools is increasingly the most practical approach for organizations with mature security tooling. Note: Mapping into raw data shouldn't exist in isolation. Operational mappings should ultimately feed into finished reports. Your day-to-day detection analytics reveal what you're actually seeing in your environment. These observations, aggregated and analyzed over time, become the foundation for strategic reporting. How to ACE your operations with the MITRE ATT&CK framework Enterprises generate millions of security events daily across cloud infrastructure, endpoints, network boundaries, and SaaS applications. With this deluge, it is unreasonable to expect analysts to hand-map behaviors. Enter AlgoSec Cloud Enterprise (ACE), a cloud enterprise tool that offers full visibility into your operations by collecting log data, aggregating and contextualizing it, and then mapping it automatically to MITRE ATT&CK techniques. This transforms raw telemetry streams into structured threat intelligence aligned with the MITRE ATT&CK framework. ACE’s finished reports provide a clear, risk-oriented view of your adversary exposure, using language that every analyst and decision-maker can understand.
