This post on Dark Reading discusses the 10 types of AI attacks that CISOs should track. The attacks include adversarial machine learning, deepfakes, and AI-powered spear-phishing. The post also talks about insider threats and vulnerability management in the context of AI attacks. https://www.darkreading.com/threat-intelligence/10-types-of-ai-attacks-cisos-should-track #AIAttacks #VulnerabilityManagement #InsiderThreats #softcorpremium

Over 77% of US critical national infrastructure organizations have seen a surge in insider-driven cyberthreats in the past three years, according to new research. Attackers are exploiting human factors to gain access to sensitive data and systems. This highlights the need for improved security measures and training to prevent. https://www.csoonline.com/article/3696318/insider-threats-surge-across-us-cni-as-attackers-exploit-human-factors.html#tk.rss_all #cyberthreats #insiderthreats #softcorpremium

The dangers of admin rights need no introduction. So why are many companies still giving them out like free candy?

𝘍𝘰𝘳 𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘵𝘺?
𝘛𝘰 𝘢𝘷𝘰𝘪𝘥 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘋𝘦𝘴𝘬?
𝘉𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺'𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘺?

It's likely one of these (if not a blend of all three). But with Endpoint Privilege Management, admin rights can be removed overnight, and flexible workstyle templates let you implement least privilege policies in a matter of days for everyone - even sysadmins.

Productivity doesn't take a hit.
The Service Desk won't be swamped.
Ransomware and insider threats are mitigated.

Catching up with news the old-fashioned way: watching #documentaries. I briefly read about the case of the #NetWalker scam but did not know he was a govt worker. Whew, gotta watch those #insiderthreats.

Loose and Work In Progress Thoughts Related to #insiderrisk #insiderthreats in the context of #infosec / #cybersecurity / #risk :

Insider Threats are not solely an effect of remote work, but the advent of remote work compounds them. There is no turning back to in-office only work, so how can organizations protect themselves from Insider Threats in what has become a larger attack surface?

Collaboration Tools: A fragmented landscape including multiple cloud tools and services including Google Drive, iCloud, Box, Dropbox, and OneDrive. The problem is not the spirit of collaboration or the tools. It’s the approach to managing sensitive data and having visibility of it. Traditional Information security relies on blocking access. While sometimes effective, locked-down employees are not productive employees. Organizations need collaboration tools to stay ahead, and they also need them to maintain employee satisfaction in a highly competitive labor market.

The nature of work for digital creatives has fundamentally changed. There is no predictable time intervals when all workers are online or supposed to be online. This makes traditional approaches of static behavior matching obsolete. The rise of cloud collaboration technologies expands the risk surface and makes “expected” behavior more ambiguous than ever. Complete visibility into behavior is now needed across platforms but continues to be centered around the behaviors triggered by an endpoint or workstation.

Traditional Approaches
- Blocking: This leads to exceptions and is intrusive for a collaborative culture.
- Static Ringfencing of Data and Digital Assets is no longer Possible
- Constant re-org
- Distributed nature
- Complexity and Dynamism of Required Access Controls
- Classification: Can’t keep up with the dynamism of an organization. Requires significant up-front effort for initial classification and ongoing overhead to maintain the state.

If you are directly or tangentially working on these problems would love to connect and learn more from your experiences in the space.
