the good, the bad and the ugly of the target data breach
DESCRIPTION
The landscape of threats to sensitive data is rapidly changing. New technologies bring with them new vulnerabilities, and organizations like Target are failing to react properly to the shifts around them. What's needed is an approach equal to the persistent, advanced attacks companies face every day. The sooner we start adopting the same proactive thinking hackers are using to get at our data, the better we will be able to protect it. This webinar will cover: Data security today, the landscape, etc. Discuss a few recent studies and changing threat landscape The Target breach and other recent breaches The effects of new technologies on breaches Shifting from reactive to proactive thinking Preparing for future attacks with new techniquesTRANSCRIPT

Credentials were stolen from Fazio Mechanical in a malware-injecting phishing attack sent to employees of the firm by email
• Resulted in the theft of at least 40 million customer records containing financial data such as debit and credit card information
• In addition, roughly 70 million accounts were compromised that included addresses and mobile numbers
The data theft was caused by the installation of malware on

Tokenization Gets Traction
Aberdeen has seen a steady increase in enterprise use of tokenization for protecting sensitive data over encryption
Nearly half of the respondents (47%) are currently using tokenization for something other than cardholder data
Tokenization users had 50% fewer security-related incidents than tokenization non-users

You must assume the systems will be breached.
Once breached, how do you know you've been compromised?
You have to baseline and understand what 'goodness' looks like and look for deviations from goodness
McAfee and Symantec can't tell you what normal looks like in your own systems.
Only monitoring anomalies can do that
CISOs say SIEM Not Good for Security Analytics
Only monitoring anomalies can do that
Monitoring could be focused on a variety of network and end-user activities, including network flow data, file activity and even going all the way down to the packets

ConclusionsChanging threat landscape & challenges to secure da ta:
• Attackers are looking for not just payment data – a more serious problem.
• IDS systems are lacking context needed to catch data theft
• SIEM detection is too slow in handling large amounts of events.
What happened at Target ?• Modern customized malware can be very hard to detect
56
• They were compliant, but not secure
How can we prevent what happened to Target and the next attack against our sensitive data?
• Assume that we are under attack - proactive protection of the data itself
• We need Big Data event information analysis & context to catch modern attackers
• Use security methods that require less cleartext in use, such as tokenization
