Very difficult to detect, because this connection looks like bnormal we traffic. • Hackers gain access to the company’s network • The big difference between ransomware attacks now, and a couple years ago is how the hackers manage the attack • Automated vs controlled by the hacker. • Attacker uses compromised credentials to login to VPN or remote desktop connection • Or via backdoor created by a malware infection like Trickbot or Emotet • This can bypass firewall and 2FA protected VPN NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANIES [ 6 ] 2021 NAMIC Farm Mutual Forum - Khoury Page 3 of 9 ANATOMY OF A RANSOMWARE CLAIM CONT. • Once they have access to company’s network, they: • Elevate network privileges by skimming admin account passwords • Explore network to figure out how things are being backed up, find where important data is stored • Delete or encrypt backups • Have also been known to reach out to cloud backup provider with a compromised email account and ask them to wipe backup • Deploy ransomware throughout the organization’s network.

Something they know (like a password) 2. Something they have (like a phone or key) 3. Something they are (like FaceID) • A good example of two‐factor authentication is the withdrawing of money from an ATM • Only the correct combination of a bank card (something the user has) and a PIN (something the user knows) allows the transaction to be carried out NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANIES [ 12 ] 2021 NAMIC Farm Mutual Forum - Khoury Page 6 of 9 ENDPOINT DETECTION AND RESPONSE SOFTWARE AND NEXT GEN ANTI- VIRUS SOFTWARE What is EDR? • Endpoint detection and response solutions record system activities and events taking place on endpoints and provide security teams with the visibility they need to uncover incidents that would otherwise remain invisible • Response features are important ‐ if there is a persistent threat, the company’s network admin can see what endpoints are being targeted, and not rely on the endpoint's end user raising the alarm. What is next generation anti‐virus • Next‐Generation Antivirus (NGAV) uses a combination of artificial intelligence, behavioral detection, machine learning algorithms, and exploit mitigation, so known and unknown threats can be anticipated and immediately prevented. • NGAV is cloud‐based, which allows it to be deployed in hours instead of months, and the burden of maintaining software, managing infrastructure, and updating signature databases is eliminated. NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANIES [ 13 ] EMAIL FILTERING What is Email Filtering? • Spam filters detect unsolicited, unwanted, and virus‐infested email (called spam) and stop it from getting into email inboxes • 94% of malware is delivered by email • Malware can be delivered via a link in the email or within an attachment • Hackers frequently make the attachment look like a MS Office file • Dedicated filtering solutions tend to do a more thorough job, than the native functionality • Example, O365 has basic spam filtering, but Microsoft Advanced Threat Protection is a big upgrade that combines robust virus scanning, with phishing email detection, etc • Providers include: Proofpoint, Mimecast, Check Point CloudGuard, Microsoft Advanced Threat Protection, Sophos Email Security, and Ironscales NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANIES [ 14 ] 2021 NAMIC Farm Mutual Forum - Khoury Page 7 of 9 SEGREGATED/DISCONNECTED BACKUPS What do we consider truly segregated/disconnected? • Cloud hosted solution with one‐way data flow, that is not mounted to their network. This is the gold standard • Mounted Drives vs dedicated backup solution –How are they different? • Tape Backups ‐ although it can take a longer time to recover • Disconnected local backup ‐ what does that backup process look like? • Network segmentation with robust 2FA security can also work well • Traditional backup strategies were designed to protect against equipment failure • Hacker infiltrations often result in deleted or encrypted backups • Potentially problematic responses to backup method • Local backup? Ask how does this work? • Network Drive? Ask how they ensure ransomware doesn’t spread to the network drive? Does it require special role‐ based access, if so, do they utilize 2FA on those authorized accounts?

    EN From January 2019 to April 2020 Spam ENISA Threat Landscape Overview The first spam message was sent in 1978 by a marketing manager to 393 people via ARPANET. It was an advertising campaign for a new product from the company he worked for, the Digital Equipment Corporation. For those first 393 spammed people it was as annoying as it would be today, regardless of the novelty of the idea.1 Receiving spam is an inconvenience, but it may also create an opportunity for a malicious actor to steal personal information or install malware.2 Spam consists of sending unsolicited messages in bulk. It is considered a cybersecurity threat when used as an attack vector to distribute or enable other threats. Another noteworthy aspect is how spam may sometimes be confused or misclassified as a phishing campaign. The main difference between the two is the fact that phishing is a targeted action using social engineering tactics, actively aiming to steal users’ data. In contrast spam is a tactic for sending unsolicited e-mails to a bulk list. Phishing campaigns can use spam tactics to distribute messages while spam can link the user to a compromised website to install malware and steal personal data. Spam campaigns, during these last 41 years have taken advantage of many popular global social and sports events such as UEFA Europa League Final, US Open, among others. Even so, nothing compared with the spam activity seen this year with the COVID-19 pandemic.8 2 __Findings 85%_of all e-mails exchanged in April 2019 were spam, a 15-month high1 14_million

  • Ransomware a MULTI-HEADED MONSTER to BEAT
    Ransomware A MULTI-HEADED MONSTER TO BEAT ERIK HESKES MAY 2021 RANSOMWARE Ransomware Introduction Ransomware is a buzzword and a real threat. A sophisticated attack or a script kiddie may lead to this result: a complete lockdown of a company with the associated damage. This damage can be enormous. Not only because the systems are down and no work can be done, but also because restoring the system, either by paying the ransom or by hiring specialists is very expensive indeed. And then there's reputational damage. When asked how it got to this point, hardly anyone has a good answer.... With the resources available, the attacker has every chance of committing a successful attack. This white paper covers the history of this type of attacks, the reasons for the attacker to carry out such an attack, the various ways of ransomware attacks and, very important, it describes the key protection measures that need to be in place to reduce chances of becoming a victim of these attack. Understanding the variety in ransomware attacks from the recent past is necessary to be able to determine the best strategy to protect the company’s data systems. Although, as you will see, dealing with ransomware is like dealing with a multi-headed monster. What is Ransomware? Ransomware can be defined as a type of malware that can infect a system by the encryption of files, folders, or an entire system. The compromised system shows the victim that a ransom needs to be paid, often by means of transferring a set amount of cryptocurrency or a large sum of money to an account or crypto wallet controlled by the attacker.

Subject to standard copyright rules, TLP:WHITE information may be distributed without restriction. For more information on the Traffic Light Protocol, see http://www.cisa.gov/tlp/. TLP:WHITE TLP:WHITE INTRODUCTION For the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), understanding adversary behavior is often the first step in protecting networks and data. The success network defenders have in detecting and mitigating cyberattacks depends on this understanding. The MITRE ATT&CK® framework is a globally accessible knowledge base of adversary tactics and techniques based on real-world observations. ATT&CK provides details on 100+ threat actor groups, including the techniques and software they are known to use.1 ATT&CK can be used to identify defensive gaps, assess security tool capabilities, organize detections, hunt for threats, engage in red team activities, or validate mitigation controls. CISA uses ATT&CK as a lens through which to identify and analyze adversary behavior. CISA created this guide with the Homeland Security Systems Engineering and Development Institute™ (HSSEDI), a DHS-owned federally funded research and development center (FFRDC), which worked with the MITRE ATT&CK team. ATT&CK Levels ATT&CK describes behaviors across the adversary lifecycle, commonly known as tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). In ATT&CK, these behaviors correspond to four increasingly granular levels: 1.
