Talk of Intel developing IT security game-changer is premature says Tufin Technologies

Tufin Technologies says that reports of Intel developing an `IT security game-changer' that will reportedly stop zero-day security attacks should be tempered with the reality that many company PCs in use today will still be in active use in five years’ time.

According to Michael Hamelin, chief security architect with the security lifecycle specialist, whilst Intel has been something of a chip pioneer ever since the earliest days of PCs, the reality is that a new chipset - no matter what its features - will still have to replace the hundreds of millions of legacy computers in active use around the world.

"Most companies work on a two or three-year cycle for their computers, so even if Intel unveiled a zero-day killer chip architecture this summer, it probably won't reach PC store shelves until much later in the year," he said.

"That means you are probably looking at a 2014/2015 timeframe before most corporates upgrade their PCs to the new architecture, and around the latter part of the decade before most companies have moved on up," he added.

Citing the example of quad-core processor-based PCs still very much in the minority, largely owing to the cost of deploying such machines in the corporate world, Tufin's chief security architect said it could be even longer than this before a generation of Intel-based zero-day protected PCs begin to reach a majority in the workplace.

You only, he explained, have to look at the success that the Dell Optiplex series has had in the workplace since their widespread introduction in the mid-2000. Many call centres still use these machines owing to their modularity and ease of deployment.

Hamelin went on to say that Intel's AntiTheft (AT) technology is a classic case in point, as, although the chip technology has been discussed for some time, its implementation is still quite scarce in the computer world.

It is, he said, excellent to hear that Intel is developing next-generation chip architectures that support security features on an on-chip basis, but the reality is that there are many hundreds of millions of legacy PCs in day-to-day usage in companies around the world.

"There will also be large numbers of PC sold this year with quite mundane non-AT specifications. Even with the most attractive security technology ever seen, companies are not going to flock to buy new computers - they're going to amortise their existing systems," he said.

"And with an amortisation cycle for a typical company PC being measured in years, we think that any talk of Intel developing a game-changer in the computer security business is a little premature," he said.

Lieberman Software and Q1 Labs Partner to stop insider threats

Joins Q1 Labs Security Intelligence Partner Program

London – February 1, 2011 Organisations seeking to eliminate the potential for anonymous employee access to sensitive data are extending their Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platforms through the addition of privileged identity management (PIM) solutions. The combined technologies provide enterprises with enhanced monitoring, visibility and management of the powerful privileged accounts that allow unaudited access to nearly every system, business application, database, Web service and network appliance throughout large organisations.

To help customers accomplish these objectives Lieberman Software Corporation, the Pioneers of Privileged Identity Management^SM, has been certified by Q1 Labs for its Security Intelligence Partner Program. The certification allows Lieberman Software to integrate with Q1 Labs’ open security intelligence protocols – LEEF and AXIS - to identify security threats and anomalies. 

Enterprise Random Password Manager™ (ERPM), Lieberman Software’s flagship PIM solution, automates the tasks to locate, inventory, organise and manage the thousands of privileged account passwords dispersed throughout large enterprise environments. ERPM works with Q1 Labs’ QRadar Security Intelligence Platform to correlate security and event data and provide oversight control of elevated privileged accounts.

With this new integration all ERPM password check-out/check-in and credentials changes are visible in Q1 Labs’ QRadar, as are successful and failed password verifications. Q1 Labs’ QRadar SIEM tracks and correlates all privileged account activities, letting users monitor and respond to issues from within the QRadar Security Intelligence Operating System interface. Customers benefit from being able to accurately observe all actions taken by privileged users and can provide this information to security auditors in the form of detailed, customisable reports created with a few mouse clicks.

“This integration is closing the loop on event management by providing visibility into the real-time ownership and delegated access to sensitive accounts that appear in Q1Labs’ gathered events,” said Philip Lieberman, president and CEO of Lieberman Software. “With this 360 degree view of security events Lieberman Software and Q1 Labs can show not only what is happening, but also who is behind the activity – effectively ending anonymous access to privileged accounts.”

SIEM - PIM: Why It’s Important

SIEM software collects and correlates log information from systems to track intrusion detection, normal and abnormal job operations, credentials abuse and other security events. Almost any system or application activity, success or failure can generate messages for the SIEM system. SIEM actions can trigger email, text message, trouble ticket and other human notifications. Or they can generate application-oriented actions like stopping jobs, restarting systems, blocking IP addresses and other IT operations that can typically be scripted.

PIM solutions manage the accounts that allow privileged access in the network. Privileged accounts hold elevated permission to access files, install and run programs, and change configuration settings. They exist on virtually every IT resource in the organisation. Organisations that do not manage their privileged accounts risk having unauthorised users or malicious programs compromise just one password and gain unrestricted access to sensitive data on the network.

Lieberman Software’s ERPM is the first product in the PIM field capable of automatically discovering, strengthening, monitoring and recovering all of the privileged passwords in the cross-platform enterprise. When paired with Q1 Labs the solution provides unparalleled insight into non-interactive use of privileged identities.

Tom Turner, senior vice president of marketing and channels for Q1 Labs said: “With more than a decade of experience in the security industry, Lieberman Software’s commitment to providing a truly secure password management solution made it a perfect fit for the Security Intelligence Partner Program. Lieberman Software has taken the next step in achieving its mission of building the privileged account password management space, ensuring its place in the intelligent security infrastructure.”

The ERPM-Q1 Labs integrated solution is available now. For more information see www.liebsoft.com/q1labs_integration.

Lieberman Software provides privileged identity management and security management solutions that protect the multi-platform enterprise. By automating time-intensive IT administration tasks, Lieberman Software increases control over the computing infrastructure, reduces security vulnerabilities, improves productivity and helps ensure regulatory compliance. As Pioneers of Privileged Identity Management^SM Lieberman Software not only developed the first software solution to address this need, its products continue to lead the market in features and functionality. The company is headquartered in Los Angeles, CA with an office in Austin, TX. For more information, see www.liebsoft.com.

Data governance and leaks drives Varonis growth

Varonis customers ENJOY peace of mind ABOUT THEIR DATA while the company rockets to a FIFTH year of consecutive growth

“With the amount of data we need to manage, it’s physically impossible to do it manually without a solution like DatAdvantage® and be 100 percent confident that it’s accurate. Varonis gives us peace of mind.”   -  James Herbert, HIT Entertainment

New York – Feb. 1, 2011 – Varonis Systems Inc., the leading provider of comprehensive data governance software, announced today it achieved its fifth consecutive year of record growth. In 2010, the company grew sales 63 percent year-over-year from 2009, increased its worldwide licensed installations to more than 3,500 and added 340 new customers, bringing the number of organizations and agencies that use Varonis to manage and protect their data to 940 globally.

“While our team is very pleased with the continued momentum and how rapidly our new products are being adopted by our install base and new customers, our focus remains on the underlying drivers of our growth – organizations throughout the world need to collaborate digitally without fear of their sensitive data being exposed,” said Ohad Korkus, executive vice president of engineering, chief technical officer and co-founder. “We continue to experience hyper-growth because our software is engineered to enable safe and efficient digital collaboration without disrupting existing business processes. Almost every organizational workflow is becoming digital, yielding massive gains in productivity. By automating data governance activities, we see the same boost in productivity while ensuring only the right people have access to the right data.”

Eighty percent of the world’s data is unstructured (documents, spreadsheets, presentations, emails, images, video, audio, etc.) and it’s growing by 50-plus percent every year according to Gartner. While digital collaboration introduces efficiencies, it also exponentially increases the risk of data exposure as cross-functional teams access more and more data sets. The complexities of collaboration and volumes of data simply overwhelm organizations that try to protect their data manually. By automating manual data governance processes, risk is reduced as are labor costs. The high-profile security breaches that have occurred in the past year have shown that companies must be proactive in automating management and protection of their data by systematically restricting access to sensitive data, and monitoring its use and potential abuse.

“Varonis has enabled us to remove the risks associated with data permission changes within our IT environment,” said Colin Lennox, technical services manager at Baillie Gifford. “Employees with responsibility for sensitive and critical data now have confidence that there are no security exposures. As an organization, we can prove to our regulators that our IT controls are stringent and that we are providing effective protection around our data."

Varonis customers have the ability to completely standardize unstructured and semi-structured data protection and management on their file systems, NAS, SharePoint sites and Exchange mailboxes with the Varonis® Metadata Framework™ technology that forms the foundation of Varonis software. Organizations can effectively and automatically manage data access control, audit, ownership, classification, entitlements and authorization processes on the platforms that host unstructured and semi-structured data. The Varonis® Metadata Framework™ enables organizations to expand digital collaboration boundaries safely while at the same time significantly increasing IT workforce productivity for daily data protection and management tasks.

“Varonis is set for a further period of growth in the coming year as more organizations recognize data access and usage monitoring, permissions management and revocation, identification of data at risk, and finding data owners and classifying data no longer need to be done manually,” said Yaki Faitelson, chief executive officer, president and co-founder of Varonis Systems. “The instinctive reaction of many to inappropriate data access is to try and lock down all data — that is not only impossible, it is unnecessary. What was previously impossible is now possible through the intelligent use of metadata and data governance automation.”

From mid-tier businesses to government agencies and global enterprises, Varonis customers immediately see where their critical data resides, who is accessing it, who owns it, who has access to it, who should and should not have access to it, and then take action through quick revocation of excessive access controls and simplified data management processes.

Leveraging Metadata Technology

Collecting, analyzing and presenting metadata - data about data (or information about information) - for decision making and automation is a monumental engineering task. A critical part of limiting and automating access is the ability to leverage metadata. When it comes to identifying sensitive data and protecting access to it, a number of types of metadata are relevant: user and group information, permissions information, access activity, and sensitive content indicators. A key benefit to leveraging metadata for preventing data loss is that it can be used to focus and accelerate the data classification process. In many instances, the ability to leverage metadata can speed up the process by up to 90 percent, providing a shortlist of where an organization’s most sensitive data is, where it is most at risk, who has access to it and who shouldn’t.

The Varonis Metadata Framework™ technology that forms the foundation of Varonis software,  non-intrusively collects this critical metadata, generates metadata where existing metadata is lacking (e.g. its file system filters and content inspection technologies), pre-processes, normalizes, analyzes, stores, and presents the metadata to IT administrators in an interactive, dynamic interface – automating the process of finding areas with excessive permissions and abnormal access activity, understanding  who can access, who is accessing, who shouldn't have access, and who owns the data, and enabling remediation of risk faster than traditional data protection products.

ISACA report emphasizes governance's central role in IT security

London, UK February 2011 - A major survey from ISACA, a not-for-profit IT governance and security association, confirms the central role that governance plays in information security within large organisations and stresses the fact that 95% of IT professionals  within major organisations consider governance to be important.

The study conducted by the IT Governance Institute (ITGI), ISACA’s research affiliate is titled the “Global Status Report on the Governance of Enterprise IT (GEIT) 2011.” It says that two thirds of respondent enterprises have some GEIT activities in place, with the most common being the use of IT policies and standards, followed by the employment of defined and managed IT processes.

According to Rolf von Roessing, CISA, CISM, CGEIT, international vice president of ISACA, the report highlights that the main driver for activities related to GEIT is ensuring that IT functionality aligns with business needs.

"It also shows that the most commonly experienced outcomes are improvements in the management of IT-related risk, as well as communications and relationships between business and IT," said von Roessing. "Obviously, these issues are important to ISACA’s global membership, which now tops the 95,000 mark, as governance and regulatory compliance are at the heart of the modern information security curriculum."

Von Roessing explained that, with regulatory compliance now high on the agenda of most corporate boardrooms especially in Europe, where best practice compliance is now a statutory requirement in many areas of business, the report makes some interesting, valid points.

It's clear, he says, that the right governance enablers can help ensure that the implementation of IT plans within major organisations is as smooth as possible.

"As the report says, it is now a fact of business life that specific events, activities or even crises will arise that require some GEIT objectives to take precedence over others. It is equally important that managers should take a balanced and holistic view of the five GEIT focus areas - strategic alignment, risk management, value delivery, resource management and performance," said von Roessing.

And, when you dip further into the report, he added, you begin to realise the importance of IT in the management process, as 70 per cent of respondents to the ISACA survey indicated that the head of IT in their organisation is also a member of the senior management team.

"More than anything, the results of our survey confirm the significance of IT in many enterprises. However, there is still a lot of work to be done, as researchers have found that it is still common in smaller enterprises for the head of IT not to be on the senior management team," said von Roessing.

"It is also worth noting that other frequently stated reasons  for IT not being on the senior management team are that IT is a support function (32 per cent), and that IT is adequately represented by another member of the senior executive team (32 per cent again),” he added.

"Our in-depth report is a timely indicator that, whilst great strides have been made in helping industry to understand the central role that IT has in a business, IT professionals and security professionals in particular should not rest on their laurels."

WikiLeaks DDoS arrests welcomed by Infosecurity Europe

London, UK, January 2011 - Reports that five men were arrested in connection with an investigation into the DDoS attacks against allegedly anti-WikiLeaks financial and other Web sites, have been welcomed by the organisers of the Infosecurity Europe show. April 19-21 www.infosec.co.uk

According to Claire Sellick, Event Director for Infosecurity Europe, which takes place each spring in London, distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks - no matter what their stated intention - are a potentially devastating type of attack on commercial organisations.

"Whilst the Anonymous group has received a lot of positive attention, most recently in the toppling of the government in Tunisia, the reality of a DDoS attack on a commercial organisation is that it paralyses that firm's Web site and, in many cases, costs them money - both directly and indirectly," she said.

"And whilst those staging the DDoS attacks may feel they are carrying out their acts of cybervandalism with good intentions, the reality is that a team of IT professionals has to sort out the mess behind the scenes," she added.

The Infosecurity Europe director went on to say that that the arrests of the five people on Thursday follow on from the arrest of two teenagers in the Netherlands on similar allegations.

And, she said, other arrests will undoubtedly come in the weeks and months ahead, as investigators piece together the trail of electronic breadcrumbs that anyone using the Internet leaves behind them.

Even if a user thinks they are anonymous on the Internet, the reality is that, with sufficient time and resources, investigators can track them down by their IP trails, she explained. After that, arrests can ensue.

If, as seem likely, charges ensue against the five people who have been arrested, it is almost certain that any court appearances will be punctuated by media reports of celebrities expressing their support for the cause, and perhaps even the odd misguided celebrity offering to pay their fines and legal fees.

But, says Sellick, the spotlight of the media circus that will accompany any possible court cases will never fall on the hard-working IT professionals who labour behind the scenes to restore services on the Web servers affected by a DDOS attack.

"That is the stark IT reality here. The only piece of good news that will result from the DDoS attacks of recent months is that IT security experts now understand a lot more about how an attack of this type unfolds in the wild, and how to assuage its effects," she said.

"This expertise will also allow specialists to better defend the national infrastructure from future cybervandalism. We expect many experts to talk about the issue of DDoS attacks at the Infosecurity Europe show, when it opens for a three-day run on April 19-21 at Earls Court in London," she added.
