Companies refusing to intern students studying ethical hacking
Botho College students who studied Ethical Hacking are finding it extremely difficult – in some cases impossible, to get internships with companies.
The most reluctant are said to be commercial banks who fear what might happen if the interns hack systems through which they manage hundreds of millions of pula.
Botho offers Ethical Hacking as a module under a degree programme in Computer Forensics.
What appears to be the problem is the second word in the name of the course and the first doesn’t seem to allay fears.
As part of the programme, students have to get internship positions in order to put their classroom learning to practical use.
Typically, tertiary education institutions don’t secure such places for students but the latter have to do so on their own.
The internship hunt is aided by a script listing all the courses that a student has studied.
In the particular case of students who are enrolled for the Computer Forensics programme, Ethical Hacking is on the list.
This debacle attests to the fact that it will be some time before the industry and tertiary education institutions establish common ground on how education should be packaged for the job market.
Far too many of Botswana’s university graduates are unemployed because what they learnt in school was not relevant to what the job market requires.
Working with Business Botswana, the Ministry of Education and Skills Development is supposed to have developed a curriculum that plugs all the gaps.
The ordeal of Botho students shows that there is still a lot that the two parties need to agree on.

Malware Top 10: Conficker Grabs Top Spot, Tinba Takes Second
Security firm Check Point just released its list of the 10 Most Wanted Malware for May 2016.
The Conficker worm grabbed the top spot, followed by banking Trojan Tinba and highly complex malware Sality.
What’s more, the total number of active malware families spiked 15 percent last month with 2,300 unique global groups.
While the top 10 include old threats, new vectors and a host of sophisticated attack avenues, there are a number of up-and-coming concerns that are also worth a look.
Consider the Godless malware currently making the rounds on Android devices.
May was a big month for malicious actors, with historic code Conficker taking top spot in the malware rankings.
Banking Trojans stay strong, while worms, mobile malware, exploit kits and botnets all make an appearance in the top 10.
Up-and-comers such as stealthy Android rootkits and phishing phone attacks round out this high-powered malware lineup.

New Report Finds Insider Corporate Data Theft and Malware Infections among Biggest Threat to Digital Business in 2016
NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Insider data theft and malware attacks top the list of the most significant concerns for enterprise security executives, a new report from Accenture and HfS Research reveals.
Of those surveyed, a majority (69 percent) of respondents experienced an attempted or successful theft or corruption of data by insiders during the prior 12 months, with media and technology organizations reporting the highest rate (77 percent).
This insider risk will continue to be an issue, with security professionals’ concerns over insider theft of corporate information alone rising by nearly two-thirds over the coming 12 to 18 months.
Additionally, the research shows that a budget shortage for hiring cybersecurity talent and well-trained employees is hindering the ability of organizations to properly defend themselves against these attacks.
The survey, “The State of Cybersecurity and Digital Trust 2016”, was conducted by HfS Research on behalf of Accenture (NYSE:ACN).
More than 200 C-level security executives and other IT professionals were polled across a range of geographies and vertical industry sectors.
The survey examined the current and future state of cybersecurity within the enterprise and the recommended steps to enable digital trust throughout the extended ecosystem.
The findings indicate that there are significant gaps between talent supply and demand, a disconnect between security teams and management expectations, and considerable disparity between budget needs and actual budget realities.
Despite having advanced technology solutions, nearly half of all respondents (48 percent) indicate they are either strongly or critically concerned about insider data theft and malware infections (42 percent) in the next 12 to 18 months.
When asked about current funding and staffing levels some 42 percent of respondents said they need more budget for hiring cybersecurity professionals and for training.
More than half (54 percent) of respondents also indicated that their current employees are underprepared to prevent security breaches and the numbers are only slightly better when it comes to detecting (47 percent) and responding (45 percent) to incidents.
The report identified five significant gaps disrupting the ability of enterprises to effectively prevent or mitigate well-organized and targeted cyber attacks, including:
– Talent
– Technology
– Parity
– Budget
– Management

Cyber risk management of third party suppliers and partners
Dr.
Jim Kennedy explains why managing the cyber risks posed by suppliers and partners is the weak link in many information security plans and looks at how to improve in this area.
Having been involved in information/cyber security for over 30 years, I have been asked to review computer and network security breaches for many Global 1000 corporations in the government, financial, pharmaceutical, electric power generation and distribution, manufacturing and telecommunications sectors of our economy.
In many cases the breaches I analyzed came from failures of having inadequate security policies and operational procedures in place or not adhering to those policies or procedures that were in place.
Trusted insiders or employees also accounted for some of the losses of information and compromises to critical networks and systems.
However, a large number of the security breaches I investigated came from inadequately managing and controlling risks posed by third party partners or suppliers.
Many cases of knowingly allowed, unfettered access to an organization’s most critical and valuable information, systems, and networks was given to these third party entities without any or with minimal security review.
Why.
To facilitate the interconnection of these third party suppliers or partners to enable them to transact business or receive or deliver services.
So when it comes to third party risk, what should be done?
By entering into any business or operational agreement or contract the Trust component is already in place.
The next order of business for the trusting organization is for its security team to Verify that adequate security is in place to validate that Trust of any connection between the two organizations.
To begin this process, the value of the data to be sent, received, and/or stored needs to be clearly understood along with critical network, storage, and systems security needed by both the primary organization and its proposed supplier or partner.
The next order of business is to clearly identify and provide access only to the minimal amount of information and/or data to be sent, received, or stored to meet the terms of the business contract or arrangement. ‘Less is always Best’.
Risks should be reviewed and determination made by senior management whether the risk is acceptable or can be mitigated to satisfaction.
However, senior security management should absolutely be involved in the final decision.
Interconnection and sharing of information between businesses and government is necessary to keep the economy functioning and for government organizations to accomplish their important missions.
Also important is the protection of intellectual property, personal and patient information, customer and shareholder finances, and the critical infrastructure and governmental operations and information.
To do this properly all third party entities needed to send, receive, repose, or process information on behalf of a business or government function needs to be assessed for risk they might pose to that information and make informed decisions so as to the insure the security and availability of that information.
I hope that I have help in identifying elements necessary to make those decisions.

CEOs need better cyber security skills as half fall victim to phishing scams
Executive boards need better cyber security training, given half of chief security officers fall victim to phishing attacks, according to research conducted by security firm AlienVault.
The research found that 82 per cent of IT security professionals worry that their high-ranking executives are still vulnerable to phishing scams.
Despite such concerns only 45 per cent provide cyber security training to all their employees including the executive board, while 20 per cent do not conduct any training and instead tackle the fallout of such cyber attacks when they occur.
According to the FBI there was a 270 per cent increase in CEOs becoming victims of fraud since the beginning of 2016.
Such fraud has cost US organisation over $2.3bn over the past three years, while each attack is estimated to cost companies between $25,000 to $75,000.

The Unfriendly Skies: Airlines Must Bolster Anti-Hacker Defenses
The Israeli military made (air)waves last week when it announced that it was installing cyber defenses on its F-35 jets.
While this may seem like a futuristic concept, it’s actually long overdue from an online security standpoint.
“As technology rapidly continues to advance, we must all work to ensure that the airline industry remains vigilant in protecting its aircraft and systems from cybersecurity breaches and attacks,” Markey, a member of the Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee, wrote in the letter.
The answers Markey received revealed that there is no uniform standard for cybersecurity testing, so in April he introduced the Cybersecurity Standards for Aircraft to Improve Resilience Act of 2016, which would require the disclosure of information relating to cyberattacks on aircraft systems, and would establish guidelines to identify and address cybersecurity vulnerabilities in commercial aviation.
The bill was referrred back to Markey’s committee, but no further action has been taken.
Markey’s office did not respond to several requests for comment.

Book Review – Dark Territory: The Secret History of Cyber War; peek into the past, present & future
CYBER WARFARE can be tough to explain.
Like the thousands of lines of coding that run through a computer programme, it entails complex technicalities.
But in Dark Territory, Pulitzer Prize-winning American journalist and author Fred Kaplan takes readers through tapped phone lines and top-secret cyber units and operations to illustrate how US policymakers and organisations realised that the ‘threat’ was real and prepared for it.
Intelligence agencies and bodies like the National Security Agency, Central Intelligence Agency and the department of defense were key players in these preparations.
Their evolution over the years is also depicted in detail in the book.
The book also focuses on some recent incidents of cyber attacks that prove that the looming threat is omnipresent.
The attack on Sony Pictures by North Korean hackers and an assault by Iranian cyber criminals on Las Vegas Sands Corporation, a conglomerate with assets worth more than $20 billion, are prime examples of strikes that were launched “not for money, trade secrets, or traditional espionage, but to influence a private company’s behavior”.

Polytechnique launching new degree in cybersecurity
As information and communication technology (ICT) has become integral to almost every facet of modern society, cybersecurity has become one of the hottest fields around.
With a goal of boosting supply and expertise in the burgeoning field, Polytechnique Montréal and Deloitte have teamed up to educate a new crop of cybersecurity experts.
The engineering school, which is part of Université de Montréal, and the professional services firm are joining forces to fight cybercrime by expanding and upgrading Polytechnique’s cybersecurity program — and creating a state-of-the-art curriculum that will meet current market needs.
They aim to create the first bachelor’s degree in cybersecurity — which will be offered in English next year as well — by offering three cutting-edge certificate programs in cyber investigation, online fraud and IT network computer security.

30 of 50 banks may not meet capital adequacy norms: RBI
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has raised concerns over the capital adequacy ratio of many lenders (30 of 50), saying they might not be able to meet the norms under extreme scenarios.
In its Financial Stability Report, it said this ratio doesn’t seem threatened for now but could slip below the required level if there’s a surge in bad loans.
Tests conducted by RBI suggest that under a baseline scenario, gross non-performing assets (NPAs) could rise to 8.5 per cent of the total by March 2017, from 7.6 per cent in 2016.
However, if banks’ asset quality faces any severe stress, it could rise to 9.3 per cent.
30 of 50 banks may not meet capital adequacy norms: RBI
Also, says RBI, while all in the banking system are focusing on improving the usage of technology, the system needs tighter security.

The Terrorist Watch List Explained
The Terrorism Screening Database is the official name for the terrorist watch list and is maintained by the FBI’s Terrorist Screening Center.
The Terrorism Screening Database is the country’s central repository of foreign and domestic known and suspected terrorists.
It receives names of suspected international terrorists from the Terrorist Identities Datamart Environment, which is maintained by the National Counterterrorism Center in connection with the U.S. intelligence community and security agencies that have information on terrorists.
It also receives data on domestic terrorists from the FBI.
From the Terrorism Screening Database, more specific lists are created for different purposes.
For example, the No Fly and Selectee lists are used to prevent individuals from travelling or to subject them to greater scrutiny.
For an individual to be included on the No Fly or Selectee list, additional evidence of his threat to aviation security and clear identifying information is needed above and beyond the reasonable suspicion standard.
To get on the Terrorism Screening Database, U.S. officials nominate an individual whom they have “reasonable suspicion” to believe is engaged in or aiding terrorist activities.
There must also be a sufficient level of identifying information to include an individual on the list.
There have been, and continue to be, legal battles over whether proper avenues for redress exist to get off the No Fly list.
The FBI’s decision to close its investigations will be reviewed.
FBI Director James Comey has said that it appears the bureau followed the correct procedures, but the steps the agents took are being examined to see if something fell through the cracks.

Adaptive Security Demands A Shift In Mindset: Part 2 In A Series
By adopting new ways of thinking about security, improving the capabilities of existing systems, and integrating key innovations, enterprises will be well on their way to better security.
In blog 1 of our series, we examined three realities that are driving enterprises to embrace an adaptive approach to security — an idea coined by Gartner and explained in the report, Designing an Adaptive Security Architecture for Protection From Advanced Attacks.
“Blocking and Prevention Solutions Will Keep All the Bad Guys Out.” I’m a big advocate of good nutrition, regular exercise, and sufficient rest.
But even if you take these basic preventative measures, life can still throw you a curve ball.
While preventative controls are important against opportunistic attacks, most of today’s most destructive threats are low-and-slow targeted attacks that can circumvent traditional signature-based defenses such as antivirus technology.
Basic prevention alone is not enough.
“There’s Nothing We Can Do Once the Bad Guys Are In.” In the security world, it’s true that some malware or creative hacking will make it past enterprise defenses.
So what do you do?
“Our Security Products Don’t Have to Communicate.” As enterprises struggle to protect themselves against the next new attack, they are drawn to the promise of the latest shiny silver-bullet product.
he premise behind an adaptive security infrastructure is much the same.
If the technologies are connected and enabled to exchange insightful threat information and context, security teams and processes will be more effective both in the short term and long term.
“Incident Response Only Needs to Happen on an As-Needed Basis.” Getting back to health again, what happens if you have a car accident or suffer a severe injury?
Many enterprises have an “emergency response” consciousness.
They look at incident response as something that happens only when a security event is discovered.
Today, this ad hoc approach is not an option.
The new normal is the continual risk of compromise, which demands continuous response.
Finding the bad guys and stopping them from doing further damage must become an ongoing endeavor with formal plans and optimized processes that feed learnings back in to improve policies, processes, and technologies.
Stay tuned for blog 3 of this series, which will address the specifics of what it takes to create an intelligence-driven security operations center (SOC).

Security Prevention Alone Is Not Enough
The combination of zero-day-threats and attacks from within the internal network are now driving new types of solutions referred to as “Advanced Threat Detection.”
These are not a replacement for security prevention, but a complement.
Both preventive and detective solutions are needed to counteract attacks, but the information gathered by both can also be used in retrospective analysis to determine if any further measures need to be taken and to learn from experiences.
The alert of potential malicious behavior can be compared against information from security prevention solutions to assess if an attack is underway.
Conversely, it can be used to validate a threat alert from a security prevention solution that could be a “false positive.”
he average cost of time wasted responding to inaccurate and erroneous intelligence was estimated by Ponemon Institute to be up to $1.27 million annually for a typical organization.
Because of this, only four percent of all malware alerts are investigated.
The Ponemon Institute also found that prevention tools miss 40 percent of malware infections in a typical week.
At the heart of advanced threat detection solutions is the concept of continuous monitoring and analysis, not just of logs and NetFlow data but of packets themselves.
The Maginot Line was once considered a work of genius, but after the Second World War became the butt of many jokes, such as: The Maginot Line is French for “speed bump ahead.” If you don’t want your network security to become a joke, then invest in security detection, continuous monitoring and automated tools for correlation of data alerts.

Russian parliament adopts data retention, encryption law
The lower chamber of the Russian parliament has adopted an amendment to the Law on Telecommunications requiring communications providers to retain certain customer data, reports Tdaily.ru.
They would need to store records of both incoming and outgoing calls of all subscribers for six moths as well as sent SMS for three years.
The requirements are related to anti-terrorism measures by the government.
The amendment also includes the requirement to provide state services with tools enabling them to decrypt protected services, including sites using the https protocol.
Operators would need to create a special data processing and storage system for this purpose.
Analysts estimate that Russian operators would need to spend RUB 5,000 billion in order to comply with the new law.
Russian President Vladimir Putin must still sign the legislation before it can take effect.

Why Every DevOps Practice Needs Next-Generation Data Security
A DevOps shop is an unusually tempting target for cybercrime.
As an organization improves its DevOps practice, it grows increasingly vulnerable because more people have access to privileged data.
With all the downside, why aren’t DevOps projects increasing the priority of data security.
The answer is probably a simple question of incentives.
Surveys show that DevOps transformations are driven by the need to ship higher quality code faster, not by cost or security concerns.
If a DevOps leader has a mandate to deliver speed and quality, security solutions get treated like roadblocks.
Additionally, security experts are not always integrated with DevOps teams, so responsibility for avoiding breaches – and the consequences for experiencing one – fall elsewhere.
A successful next-generation solution will have three components:
– It will use data masking.
– The solution will deliver data on demand, in minutes, and in a way that team members may spin up themselves.
– The solution must readily integrate with the rest of the DevOps toolchain.
A next-generation data security solution can actually accelerate your DevOps projects.
Driving ahead without one simply paints a target on your back.

Stare Into the Dark Side of DDoS Attacks
andwidth- or resource-saturating DDoS attacks are effective, but today they are not the most common type of DDoS attack.
Researchers are beginning to see a new motivation for the attacks they observe.
n order to effectively hide their tracks, attackers attempt to overwhelm security and logging tiers with smaller, repetitive DDoS attacks.
The smaller attacks consume considerable time, attention, resources and log storage without filling the pipes.
While everyone is focused on the DDoS incident, attackers are performing more insidious actions to breach and remain persistent in a network.
What many fail to realize is that attackers understand security.
Most of them are experts at firewalls, IPS, sandboxes, anti-virus software and other attack detection technologies.
They also understand how to use these systems to their advantage.
Another dark side of DDoS that is growing in popularity is called DDoS for Ransom.
This should not be confused with ransomware that encrypts hard drives and file systems, then prompts the victim to pay for a key to decrypt the data.
Instead, DDoS for Ransom always begins with a threat of a pending DDoS attack, most often delivered via email.
Most DDoS subject matter experts recommend a hybrid approach to defeating DDoS.
This approach includes on premise DDoS defenses working in unison with cloud-based defenses.

Commerce Department Teams Up with DHS to Improve Its Cybersecurity
For the U.S.
Department of Commerce, when it comes to cybersecurity it’s better to be proactive than reactive.
Commerce has been partnering with the Department of Homeland Security to use new tools from a key DHS program to enhance its security posture.
Over the last few years, Commerce has been testing tools from DHS’s Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) program, a five-year, $6 billion effort to give civilian agencies the tools and services required to monitor their IT systems and then respond almost instantaneously to vulnerabilities.
Commerce Department CIO Rod Turk tells Federal News Radio that the agency has been testing the CDM tools ahead of time to make sure it can quickly implement them when they are ready.
That is forcing Commerce to upgrade its IT infrastructure to handle the tools.
Commerce has focused on using the software tools that DHS has provided to agencies under the CDM program, and Commerce is now moving from planning to implementation with many of those tools. “We’re working very well with the DHS folks and we meet with them on a continuous basis and we are moving forward,” Turk says.
Commerce’s new system will support hardware management, software asset management and vulnerability management — the key elements of CDM.
