Monitoring machines
Good morning, It would not be important in similar forensic software security solution to point some strange movement in net for manual configuration? Would not it be nice to send this log to the administrator so that it has real science of what happens on their machines? The fact that even happens that the only security solution for password and disable it is discovered any protection software with password folder can hold a virus where this solution can not be detected due to have a password contained Performing a test in a given security software that will not mention the name says it the same as the high power of detection can not detect which way the folder with password there is a virus code that I created is not the same as new I sent them to the database and still is not detected because the folder containing password. In this case the solution would be important to periodically report to the administrator the steps that are being taken on all machines on your network because each machine would have this solution that would monitor every activity detecting managing such facilities that protect files with password and security does not detect your code simplest is that despite being in the database.

Dear, good morning. I would like to make clear in this discussion, the importance that we give the integrity of our data, in particular our emails. We constantly see people everywhere reporting infections on their desktops and applications, but I do not see reporting as contracted. Importance would be a good integrity of our emails because we feed them well (cybercriminals) with new weapons by obtaining data on which they should not. Social networks registered with corporate e-mail, blogs registered with corporate e-mail etc., make each day are more targeted. As security expert, I always make sure that after all always looking for a culprit for a serious infection or destructive, and at the end of everything as it always has to have a fault, this is a security solution, but we learn that , we have to create its own policy of security as well. Attached to this discussion, is a video explaining the step taken by an attacker to collect e-mails and perform intrusion attempts with new weapons all the time are created by these criminals. Remember, a cracker does not use steps "maldados," they create their own weapons and new weapons to attack, so we never have a 100% solution, but if you create a good security policy in yourself, then it will be secured 100%, because a good percentage depends on your security solution, and so another good percentage is up to you forever! I hope you enjoyed. Big hug to everyone.Solved3.1KViews1like12CommentsPhrases that scare security professionals
Given the findings of some practices and routines, it is easy to know what the problems are with the security companies. It is your case? The scenes are classic. A child with chocolate smeared shirt says, categorically: "It was not me." Or the phone rings and mother assures you, "There's nothing to worry about." Or a systems administrator who carries a box of tapes back up guarantees: "Within minutes, all information will be retrieved." In some cases, the first words you hear - despite the distance between them and the truth - are enough to tell you everything you need to know.

The same applies to the world of information security. Some words sound reassuring, but we know they often point out problems of internal security, technical resources or the people and processes involved in the protection systems. Get to know some of the phrases "revealing secrets" that signal the imminence of problems in security. One. One We have a culture of safety We have a culture of safety "No, you do not have" is the immediate response of the professionals. "No, you have not's" is the immediate response of the professionals. Even if only mentally. Even if only mentally. This is the kind of phrase that comes from companies that started with five people - in the traditional family business model - and, as they grew, a snap themselves operating with thousands of people without governance or policies.

Some Exchanged and its "safety culture" are enough to buy a good espresso in a quiet corner Allowing look to the horizon and find out how much work lies ahead. The simple fact is that without support guidelines or feedback mechanisms (feedback), security is defined differently by each and is not verified by anyone. The simple fact is without support guidelines That common mechanisms or feedback (feedback), security is defined differently by each and is not verified by anyone. There are no metrics for compliance with the "culture" and a "safety culture" is hidden by a practice of "do your job". If there are rules, write them down. If there are rules, write down Them. If technology is put into action to implement or monitor the rules, write that down too. If technology is put into action to Implement or monitor the rules, write down That too. If people break the rules, comply with what was agreed. If the rules undermine the legitimacy of the business when completed, change them. 2nd. 2nd. IT security is information security IT security is the security of information Information security is not the same thing in the information technology security. If the term "information security" is used in the same way that "IT security", it invariably means that nobody has taken decisions not primarily security techniques that affect departments - IT, human resources, legal, audit and perhaps others in the organization. Join those who have influence in the departments listed above and decide whether information (not paper documents or equipment) is an asset of the company, such as computers and desks. Decide whether the company authorizes people to do jobs, logical and physical access to information as individuals. Decides Whether the company authorizes people to the jobs, logical and physical access to the information Individuals. Take these policies in group decisions. Take these policies in group decisions. Then maybe there will be more time to decide "how to" manage security - rather than trying to guess ... 3rd. 3rd. This does not apply to the chief This does not apply to the chief Although this is becoming less of an issue in public, occasionally an executive simply refuses to follow security guidelines that he himself approved. Although this is less of an issue Becoming in public, occasionally an executive simply Refuses to follow security guidelines That he himself approved. Unless you are prepared to meticulously document all "escapades" following the model of forensics and then deliver them to the directors or the police (or just quit), be prepared to work around the situation. Most bad apples can be managed by applying the Machiavellian sense of having influence the relationship of the other: they must at least pretend to lead by example, while continuing to do whatever they do behind closed doors. Few will admit it, but many Organizations simply put in the budget and install a DSL line access to "guests" in the halls of top executives and Their Eyes close to anything that is plugged into That line. This is not a desirable solution, but if you still solve these executives sign the documents required by Sarbanes-Oxley, the rest comes from the ability to deny knowledge of security professionals. 4th. 4th. Our department gets information security IT staff Our department gets information security IT staff Titles do not matter. Titles of not matter. A report by a security expert at the IT director is always a security administrator, even if that person has the job of information security officer. The problem is that in the corporate world the word "officer" usually means that professional has the authority to verify and monitor whether all the techniques and processes that control proprietary information are efficient. An IT security administrator is usually involved in designing technical control and therefore can not be "self-audit" and make sure that IT is doing the right thing, particularly if it relates to someone within IT. The security professional with the position of "officer" should always report the same level or higher as the IT director.

The risks of fraud in computer security or enterprise networks have grown considerably in Brazil and worldwide. Essas são algumas das conclusões de um estudo realizado pela Deloitte intitulado “Risk Intelligent governance in the age of cyber threats”. These are among the findings of a study conducted by Deloitte titled "Risk Intelligent governance in the age of cyber Threats." The study, which took into account other surveys to be drawn, points out that in 2011, organizations heard suffered an average of more than one successful cyberattack per week, which represents an increase of 44% compared to 2010. "Companies generally, should no longer be questioned about the possibility of such an attack happen. É bem provável que ele já esteja acontecendo”, destaca André Gargaro, sócio da área de Gestão de Riscos Empresariais da Deloitte. It is very likely that it is already happening, "says André Gargaro, a partner in the area of Enterprise Risk Management at Deloitte. The cyber attacks, the study indicates, may harm a business in various ways, from simple vandalizing the site, even to the shutdown of electronic fraud and intellectual property theft. In Brazil, Deloitte indicates, with the exception of the financial industry, preparation companies is still very reactive in relation to protection. Apenas depois da ocorrência de um evento considerável é que as corporações começam a se preocupar com medidas para evitar impactos de outros ataques. Only after the occurrence of an event is significant that corporations begin to worry about measures to avoid impacts to other attacks.

The Microso ft Windows users warned about possible attacks "man-in-the-middle" capable of stealing passwords from some wireless networks and VPNs (Virtual Private Networks). However, the company will not release an update to resolve the problem. This is not a security vulnerability that requires Microsoft to issue a security update, according to some security experts. "This issue is due to deficiencies cryptographic protocol MS-CHAP v2 and is driven by configuration changes." Rather than release a security patch, Microsoft recommends IT administrators to add PEAP (Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol) to protect passwords on VPN sessions. A support document describes how to configure servers and clients for PEAP. The MS-CHAP v2 is used to authenticate users based VPNs PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol). Windows includes an implementation of PPTP. The threat has been identified by researcher Moxie Marlinspike safely during hacker conference Defcon. The specialist even showed a tool that could be used in this type of invasion, Chapcrack. To use Chapcrack an attacker must first capture data packets to be transmitted via a VPN or Wi-Fi. The most likely scenario: a forgery of a legitimate point wireless, as in an airport, to find a VPN or other traffic and then attack him. Microsoft is not aware of any attacks that have used this feature, but acknowledged that the threat is real. "An attacker who successfully exploited these weaknesses could obtain cryptographic user credentials," said the company's advisory on Monday (20/8). "These credentials could be reused to authenticate the cracker on network resources, allowing the execution of any action you take on this network." As noted Marlinspike, MS-CHAP v2, which refers to the Windows NT SP4 and Windows 98, has been denounced as unsafe for years.477Views2likes0CommentsIT security policies need to change
IT security policies need to change Mobility, cloud and advancement of social networks are becoming obsolete the traditional rules, say industry leaders IT and information security managers will not be able to directly control or adequately protect company data in the coming years. The warning comes from industry executives attending the RSA Conference 2012, being held this week in San Francisco (USA). The confluence of cloud computing, mobile technologies and the consumerization of IT is driving big changes in how corporate data is accessed, used and shared. Instead of trying to fight this movement and change data management, companies should seek an adjustment to the new environment in a safe and practical advice to executives. "We need to rethink how to protect the company," said Enrique Salem, president and CEO of Symantec, which was one of the keynotes of the conference, which began on Monday (27/2) and closes on Friday (2/03 ). "We have to stop saying 'no' and try to form a partnership with our user community to enable safe access of new technologies and social media tools, Salem says the executive. Salem notes that many of the current rules on security in enterprises should be discarded. "In this new world, we can not control the device," he says. The company's data are increasingly accessed and shared via means they have little direct control, as is the case of personal mobile devices and social networks used by employees and services hosted by cloud providers. "With the expanded use of public and private clouds do not know where our data resides are accessed or when," said Salem. Models that focus on traditional security network perimeter controls do not work in the new IT environment, strengthens the CEO of Symantec. Companies must begin to implement controls that can authenticate, authorize and monitor user access through new approaches. Instead of having only firewalls to prevent malicious code from entering the network, businesses should start adding controls that can keep your critical information protected, said Salem. For the first time since the dawn of IT, consumer and experienced employees are adopting technologies faster than companies can absorb them, "says Art Coviello, president of RSA, the security division of EMC. Protection of large volumes of data The ramifications of the trend are significant. "IT must learn to manage what you can not control directly and learn to protect what can not anymore," says Coviello Over the past 10 years, he noted, data volumes, speeds data access, the use of mobile technologies and social media tools and risk levels have increased by several orders of magnitude. "If Facebook were a country, it would be the third largest on the planet right now," compares the executive of RSA / EMC. Protect corporate data in the new environment is much different than current models allow security, he added. Scott Charney, vice president of Microsoft's Trustworthy Computing initiative, emphasizes that good security in the current scenario should be increasingly on the ability to manage and analyze large volumes of data. "It's very important to understand that we are moving to the internet of things," he says. As users begin to access corporate data from mobile devices and other channels, the security manager must find a way to deal with an avalance of information related to devices, cloud infrastructure, data and geolocation sensors, Charney said. Patricia Titus, chief information security, Symantec, argued that, although many processes need to change some things about the safety of the company remain the same. "The governance has not changed much. I still have to keep the basic cybersecurity" as patch and installation of antivirus tools. These ingredients are essential and security managers should not ignore such measures, "says Patricia. "The job security is the same, but now we have an additional layer of complexity," says Patricia. Source: ComputerWorld486Views1like0Comments
